When the head of the general affairs department tried to stop, Haeju stopped him and continued.
“The agency misunderstood Dojun and didn’t know him well. It was a conflict caused by that.”
“Does that mean there was a lack of sufficient communication?”
“As you all know, the past few days have been impossible to live normally. Do you not know the reason better than anyone?”
Haeju pointedly mentioned the journalists.
Only then did the journalist who threw the question cough and close his mouth.
“The agency did its best to respond, and thanks to that, I could be here.”
“Is Representative Park Dojun in a normal marital relationship?”
A blatant question left Haeju breathless.
The attitude of not dispelling suspicions until the end, for the sake of being a journalist, was now even frightening.
As Haeju’s answer was delayed, another journalist suddenly intervened.
“We understand the past connection between Representative Park Dojun and your family, but it’s strange that a husband who appeared after three years is accepted so easily.”
It was a sharp criticism.
Still, Haeju found this part truly inexplicable.
Because the idea of receiving love from someone who had dedicated their entire life to her felt like a dream.
Her gaze lowered to the ground.
If she collapsed here, she feared she might never stand in front of the camera again.
Then someone broke through the journalists and came forward.
Haeju raised her head at that presence.
The lips of the person who looked like a journalist were uttering Haeju’s name precisely.
“Haeju, I understand! It’s okay.”
“…!”
Haeju’s eyes widened.
Even the journalists, looking around, paid attention to the unfamiliar journalist.
Surprisingly, it was Dojun.
“Dojun…”
Haeju silently called his name.
Unknowingly, she had to suppress the feeling that tears would come.
If she collapsed here, she feared she might never stand in front of the camera again.
The chest swelled rapidly.
Despite the crazy heartbeat, Haeju started recounting the accident where she had stopped like mad.
Then, she stepped forward to the microphone.
“I will answer the question from the journalist just now.”
The press conference venue, already in chaos with journalists discovering Dojun, fell silent as Haeju began to respond while facing the cameras.
“Dojun loved me from the moment he first saw me and has been waiting for me until now.”
The past Dojun didn’t let go of Haeju. Just like on the rooftop, even now, he personally opened his arms for her.
If there’s one thing that hasn’t changed despite the changing world, it’s Dojun.
At this moment, Haeju’s gaze, facing numerous cameras, confidently passed through Dojun and focused on herself. Confirming that she couldn’t change if she didn’t act, she confronted the truth.
“I only responded to that love… If he has any guilt, it’s only for consistently loving me.”
Haeju did her best.
As it became increasingly difficult to endure, she sat down and leaned forward.
Seeing this, Dojun and Jinhan were surprised and rushed forward.
In a fleeting moment, Dojun was the one Haeju embraced.
He embraced her and left the press conference venue.
Such a scene was captured in real-time by cameras and spread through breaking news articles as Haeju’s story skyrocketed.
“It’s over.”
Jinhan’s legs gave way, and he staggered.
Watching Haeju move away from him, he swallowed the rising emotions.
“Where are Haeju Jwa and Representative Park Dojun going now?”
Even in such a situation, a journalist asked a foolish question.
Jinhan, weakly turning his head, tore off the mask he had been hiding behind, revealing his true nature.
“I don’t know.”
After the press conference that day, Haeju and Dojun disappeared without a trace.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
