In the face of an unacceptable reality, he suffered day by day.

He even went to the extent of causing minor troubles, interfering in the relationship between Haeju and Dujun.

But.

“I was such a fool.”

As the situation worsened, just when it seemed that Choi In-ho would be removed from the company due to Hwang Gyeong-ok’s interference, Chairman Yu also joined in. When he tried to appoint someone else as the company’s representative, he suddenly came to his senses.

After that, it reached an unimaginable situation.

Han Jin-tae’s sly manipulation ultimately tripped up Chairman Yu.

One night, the worst incident occurred.

“Father? Are you asking me to believe that right now?”

It was a call from a GN secretary.

Chairman Yu was urgently arrested for fatally running over Han Jin-tae…

Who would believe it?

What could he be dissatisfied with when he had the entire country in the palm of his third finger?

According to the police, Han Jin-tae demanded an exorbitant sum.

Upon hearing the story through the police, he decided to let go of everything.

“Han Jin-tae has already handed over all the data to a media outlet, sir.”
After that, GN and Jinhan’s family were tormented by unprecedented criticism.

It was inevitable because the public couldn’t help but be horrified by the unjust actions committed by Chairman Yu and Han Jin-tae, which even the family didn’t know about.

GN was to be taken over by Jinhan’s older brother.

Despite promises of change, public anger did not subside despite repeated apologies and explanations.

“For a while, I won’t be able to go to work.”

Due to Chairman Yu’s incident, reporters also flocked to GN Entertainment.

Jinhan waited for the situation to calm down in silence.

Following that, he personally apologized to filmmakers who suffered due to Chairman Yu.

“It’s all my fault. Please forgive me.”

Jinhan had never hit rock bottom in his life like this before.

Since he was always in a superior position, it took considerable courage to bow first to others.

Fortunately, including Director Kwak, the film industry accepted Jinhan’s apology.

Just as he began to catch his breath momentarily, the headache that had been bothering him intensified day by day, to the point where his soul seemed to be burning away, and he eventually collapsed during a conversation with Hwang Gyeong-ok.

Even after being hospitalized, he did not inform the company.

“You need to rest for about a month. You might have a big problem if you continue like this.”

“A month?”

Jinhan had never taken a break since starting work.

Upon hearing that he had to spend a month confined to the hospital and his home, he sighed.

“What about Father?”

“It’s a murder case. It won’t be easy.”

Due to this incident, Hwang Gyeong-ok was also investigated as a witness.

Thanks to Dujun, there was no need for additional investigations, and the case was handed over to the prosecutor’s office.

In the press, it was said that Chairman Yu might even receive a life sentence.

In response, Chairman Yu was in the midst of assembling the strongest defense team, claiming that he would not leave that man alone.

“Leave that person alone, and focus on your work.”

“Yes, Mother.”

Tedious time passed.

Even with painkillers, the headache only tormented Jinhan more.

The examination results showed no pathological problems with his brain. With a diagnosis of neuralgia, Hwang Gyeong-ok came up with various methods.

“Jinhan, I won’t be able to come to the hospital from tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

“Can you be alone?”

“Anyway, a new caregiver is coming. Don’t worry too much.”

Hwang Gyeong-ok didn’t come from the next day.

Someone entered the ward while Jinhan was asleep, thinking it was a new caregiver.

He thought it was an aunt caregiver who changed because she was uncomfortable.

Without opening his eyes, Jinhan mumbled.

“You can use the storage cabinet at the very end. And can you pour me some water?”

If Jinhan said this, the caregiver should briefly introduce themselves and answer, “Okay.”

However, he heard footsteps coming directly to the bed and furrowed his brow, opening his eyes.

“I didn’t hear what I said… Why are you here?”

“Oppa, are you in a lot of pain?”

The one who found Jinhan’s ward was not the new caregiver, but Bomi.

Since their confrontation, they had not managed to arrange a second meeting due to Chairman Yu’s incident.
He, who had momentarily forgotten about it, encountered Bomi again in such a shabby state.

Jinhan, with unkempt hair and a stubble sticking out beneath his nose for several days, looked ridiculous.

The previous caregiver had tried to shave him, but he felt uncomfortable and refused.

“How did you get here?”

“Your mother contacted me. She said it’s time for you and me to go on a date.”

“A date?”

“Yes, when I heard you were in the hospital, I thought it was worth living.”

“If you saw my condition and it was uncomfortable, you should have just left.”

“How can I leave as soon as I see someone?”

Bomi had grown her hair a bit since before.

She still had a round back of the head, large pupils without any blemishes, and fair skin… She was no longer the young girl she used to be.

Jinhan, realizing this situation, was not only conscious of it but also felt annoyed by showing such a miserable appearance to Bomi.

“It’s inconvenient with you around.”

“I’ll make that thought disappear. Today is our date.”

“Bomi!”

“Oh, ventilate a bit. What’s with the air in the room?”

Bomi opened the curtains covering the window.

The clear autumn sky and sunlight shone into the bed, furrowing Jinhan’s brows.

“Oppa, when you have a headache, you should breathe in fresh air.”

“What do you know?”

He needlessly acted stubbornly towards Bomi.

Whether he said it or not, Bomi put the bouquet of flowers she had brought into a vase.

Approaching Jinhan, she smelled his hair and covered her nose in horror.

“Oh, how long have you not cut your hair?”

“I was going to cut it today. When the caregiver comes.”

“I’ll do it.”

“I said it’s fine.”

Bomi stubbornly lifted Jinhan up.

After checking that both legs were fine, she examined his face.

“Do you want to take a bath first?”

“What?”

Since it was a VIP room, the bathroom boasted a standard similar to a decent hotel.

Bomi drew water into the bathtub and poured in the bath essence.

Meanwhile, Jinhan called Hwang Gyeong-ok. When the call was connected, he sternly scolded her with a surprised voice.

“Mother, why did you send Bomi?”

Wounds caused by humans can only be filled by humans.

“That’s different for everyone.”

I saw Bomi when she came.

“Bomi?”

I’ve been waiting for your call since we met.

“How is Bomi?”

Instead of pushing her away, try getting along well. Cutting off love.

Love, he let out a bitter laugh.

He couldn’t understand what his mother intended by asking him to love when his body hurt.

Moreover, Bomi was still young……

He thought she was young……

He thought she was still a child……

“Oppa, I’ve filled the bathtub with water! Take off your clothes.”

Bomi appeared as a woman.

Under her short hair, a thin neck and lovely facial features extended, and she tried to undress Jinhan without hesitation.
