Happiness and unhappiness always hit her at the same time, causing Hae Joo pain.

It was no different this time.

If her life as an actress was over, there was no reason to burden Do Jun either.

Just a few days.

In those few days, Hae Joo’s fate would be determined.

“Why do I always end up like this?”
Hae Joo was scared of people.

The reason she disliked her dark house was also because of people.

But, in a surprising timing, Do Jun called her.

She cleared her voice and picked up her phone.

“Yes, Mr. Do Jun.”
Where are you?
“I came to the old dorm.”
Why did you go there?
“It seems like the reporters are roaming around this apartment too. The landlord is disposing of the apartment.”
That’s fine… but why does your voice sound like that?
“Excuse me?”
You sound like you’ve been crying.
Do Jun’s perception was frightful.

Hae Joo who was looking for a light excuse, made one up.

“I guess it’s rhinitis.”
I’ll come there. What’s the name of the apartment?
After Hae Joo told him the apartment’s building and room number, she put her things into the bag she had brought. Most of them were books and small trinkets.

“That should do it.”
All that was left were things to be thrown away.

It was a shame as most of them were still in good condition.

Jin Han said he would handle all this through company expenses but thinking about it now, it was likely not the case.

So she felt even more sorry.

“It’s my fault for not realizing sooner, really.”
She didn’t think that stamping the marriage certificate due to Gyeong Ae’s pressure would come back like this.

She thought she had paid enough but it was not the case.

She wondered if she would really be cut from director Kwak’s movie. What reason would Jin Han give for the movie that Do Jun invested in?

Hae Joo’s mind was in a mess.

Then the doorbell rang.

Do Jun had arrived and opened the door.

“So this is the dorm.”
“Yes.”
This neighborhood was what you call a wealthy district.

Many celebrities who couldn’t even give out a name card lived here.

Hae Joo had come to such a place penniless.

“Why were you crying?”
Do Jun walked into the living room.

Hae Joo shrank and shook her head.

“Because of the dust, my rhinitis got worse.”
“Your eyes are wet.”
“Can’t we just go? I’ve packed all my stuff.”
She didn’t want to upset Do Jun by mentioning Jin Han.

If she was cut from the role, Do Jun would eventually hear about it. Should she tell him now?

She couldn’t make a decision.

“Let’s go home.”
Do Jun picked up Hae Joo’s luggage.

Hae Joo sighed as she left the apartment she would never return to.

The security guard watched the two of them leave the apartment.

Hae Joo awkwardly bowed and got in the car.

“Are you not going to tell me why you were crying?”
“What good would it do if I did?”
“I’ll find the guy who made you cry and make sure he can barely breathe.”
“Are you lying?”
“I don’t joke about such things.”
In the end, Hae Joo hung her head and spilled out the conversation she had with Jin Han.

The look in Do Jun’s eyes as he listened to her story was not normal.

In the end, the sound of him forcefully clenching his fist was heard when the car caught at the signal.

“I dislike violence.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t hit a woman.”
“So, it’s okay to hit men?”
“Among guys, it can happen.”
“These days, you can get caught for that.”
“It’s better than seeing you cry.”
Hae Joo rejected Jin Han.

Just with that, Do Jun felt like he had won the world.

One problem was the aftermath of Jin Han doubting the relationship between him and Hae Joo.

The event where Lee Jun registered his marriage with Hae Joo under his brother’s name was indeed a shocking event if heard by others. So, honestly, he was a bit worried.

With that much, he hoped that he would lose interest in Hae Joo.

If a fight broke out, there was a high chance that one of the two would have to die for it to end.

“So, they’re saying they won’t let you appear in the movie?”
“We’ll have to wait for the decision.”
Hae Joo’s voice was lacking strength.

“If I don’t invest in that movie, the possibility of GN doing it is high.”
“I suppose so.”
“What I mean is, don’t be too attached.”
“Is that as easy as it sounds?”
“What can I do for you?”
Meanwhile, the car had left Seoul.

Hae Joo, who had opened the car window, changed the direction of the conversation while feeling the wind.

“Did you visit well?”
“He keeps wanting to come home.”
“Can’t you just bring him?”
During the day, there would be a caretaker, but the night was the problem.

Do Jun, who also had to go to work tomorrow, was deep in thought.

“Then let’s just stay with him for one day.”
“Let’s bring him now.”
“Is that okay?”
“I don’t mind.”
Do Jun’s car passed the town where his house was.

In any case, leaving the hospital, President Park, who had held onto him pitifully, weighed heavily on his mind.

Folding his worries, Do Jun went to the nursing home.

“I’ll bring my father home and come back tomorrow.”
“I’ll ask the charge nurse.”
Do Jun and Hae Joo, who had first asked at the nurse’s desk, waited for the doctor’s permission.

A moment later, the nurse handed them the outing application form.

“Please fill this out.”
They went through the procedure to ensure there were no problems.

Only after the final permission was granted did they go to President Park’s ward.

“Did Lee Jun come? Oh, my daughterinlaw, it’s been a while.”
President Park greeted the two.

Do Jun was living as his brother, Lee Jun, for the second time today.

“Father, we’ve decided to stay home for just one day.”
“Hehe, let’s do that.”
They decided to give more money and have a caretaker come along.

Do Jun finally brought President Park home.

“You know this is your room, right?”
“Of course.”
The place Do Jun showed President Park was his own room.

The original room was on the first floor, but he had to keep a close eye and had to sleep together at night.

As the day fell, the caretaker who was taking care of President Park left.

Late at night, the three of them had gone to bed early.

“Good night.”
“Sure, see you tomorrow.”
Left alone in the room, Hae Joo tossed and turned.

What Jin Han had said kept playing in her mind, causing her unease.

It was when she sat up with a sigh.

She heard a rustling noise outside the door and went out to see.

“Mister!”
“Hm?”
It was Mr. Park.

He was in the middle of going down the stairs after wandering around the second floor.

“Where are you going?”
“To see the tree.”
“I’ll go too.”
The front door was firmly locked.

Still, just in case, Hae Joo followed him.

The two, who had come out to the garden on the first floor, stood under a large tree.

The moonlit night sky seemed unusually bright that day.

“Mister, I heard a lunatic beat up all the guys I liked in the past.”
“….”
“But strangely, I was drawn to that lunatic whose face I didn’t even know.”
“A scoundrel?”
“Huh? You know that person too?”
Hae Joo laughed.

“I must have been so desperate to feel that way. But when you told me to run away, sir.”
“….”
“I liked it then too. It felt like something someone was giving me for my sake.”
Whether Mr. Park understood Hae Joo’s story, he laughed out loud.

“That lunatic never showed up in front of me.”
“….”
“Rather, it was a relief. Otherwise, I would have run away in fear, right?”
In the middle of the conversation, the door leading to the garden opened.

Mr. Park, who had been rambling at Hae Joo’s story, pointed his hand towards the door.

“That’s the lunatic.”
“Huh?”
“That’s the scoundrel I was talking about. Our Do Jun.”
The bright smile faded from Hae Joo’s lips.

As she turned her head towards where Mr. Park was pointing, Do Jun came out.
