Ending the shabby friendship of 27 years, Hajun laughed pitifully at his miserable appearance.
As Hajun ran out of cigarettes, he weakly stood up from the stairs.
He should have left Seoul sooner.
After Jeyoon’s funeral, when Jeean disappeared, Hajun personally submitted his resignation to CEO Lee. That was a few weeks ago, and the law firm work, which he had been putting off day by day, would only need to be wrapped up.
It was unknown why he crawled out of this damn law firm, where he couldn’t see the end.
Relying on the memory of his bicycle trip around the country after discharge, Hajun had planned to leave Seoul.
He hoped that the place he was right now wasn’t Seoul, and that his body would numb so that he wouldn’t think of anything.
Avoiding Hajun, Jeean hurriedly boarded the elevator. As she entered the underground parking lot in a daze, her steps gradually slowed.
‘Did Yoonhajun like me as a woman? It can’t be true.’
Hajun’s words, understood in her mind, stood erect in front of her like a cliff.
‘How could I not know? I’m not that dull.’
With a confused mind, Jeean got into her red compact car and leaned against the seat.
‘Your boyfriend is coming to pick you up.’
Belatedly recalling Hajun’s words, she called Donwoo. Frighteningly, Donwoo’s voice was heard as the call connected.
I’m on my way.
“No. You don’t have to come. You can go back. Did I make things too complicated for you? It would have been better if I had just stayed still.”
Jeean.
“It’s really okay. I came down to the parking lot and got into the car.”
Feeling uncomfortable, Jeean lowered her gaze without realizing it and added,
“Hajun didn’t like the misunderstanding about you. Because it’s not true. …I don’t like how I look now. It would have been better if we had discussed it first.”
The reason Jeean came here was also because she was worried that if the truth came out, Hajun, who defended Haesong Group, would be pointed at by the public. However, the result turned out to be as Donwoo had thought.
Feeling complex about making several people uncomfortable, Jeean searched for news. Meanwhile, the legal representative of Haesong Group had changed to another lawyer.
Donwoo, about to enter the law firm’s parking lot, stopped the car. Soon, Jeean’s car was seen leaving the law firm’s parking lot.
Donwoo, too, was quite surprised when he read the news about Hajun being the legal representative of Haesong Group. He had no right to say anything about his choice, but he was slightly disappointed.
‘Why wasn’t it Jeean? Fortunately, the news has been corrected, but if it hadn’t, Jeean would have suffered even more.’
Ending the call with Donwoo, Jeean searched for news. She found that the law firm’s representative had changed.
Donwoo called Taeyoon as Jeean’s car disappeared from sight after passing the intersection. It seemed that the press conference time wouldn’t need to be postponed.
“Still. I think they’re looking at Haesong, so I’ve assigned people there too. We’re still searching. I’ve assigned someone to the nursing home too, in case we need to move mother somewhere else.”
“Thank you. Nothing special from Haesong after the statement, right?”
After the interview where Donwoo revealed the fact that he was Chairman Woo Suho’s illegitimate child was broadcast, and a press conference was scheduled soon, there was no different reaction from Haesong after the official announcement.
Taeyoon responded, watching the situation.
“We’ve prepared for this situation in various ways, but it’s not Haesong Group. They’ve probably declared an emergency by now. Moreover, since Woosunho is trying to hide the whereabouts of his mother, things will be more complicated. He could even sue you.”
Donwoo muttered while walking to prepare for the press conference.
“Lee Soojeong. My enemy is not you but Woosunho. So trust me a little.”
Donwoo himself didn’t know what was right at the moment.
He knew that not everything in life had a happy ending, and the future was always uncertain. But that was no reason to hesitate.
Donwoo, who worked late into the night, released the door lock and let out a sigh.
After Donwoo revealed that he was a illegitimate child of the Haesong family, some people accused him, saying that it was all a conspiracy, blaming Ace and even criticizing the Play Round and Eagles leagues.
The life that had been intense for the past 10 years was suddenly belittled.
Donwoo just hoped to meet his mother again safely and for his life not to become any heavier.
However, there were few who believed in the truth, and the once unyielding heart, which had not even been scratched, began to feel heavy. Donwoo tried harder to appear bold.
As he entered the house, extinguishing the sound of footsteps, the living room lights were brightly lit.
It was an automatic system that detected body heat, but Jeean must have manually left the lights on for him, expecting him to come home.
As he was about to enter the bathroom, he saw a neatly folded pajama set on the powder room table. It was clear that Jeean had brought it.
The empty feeling about something trivial seemed to warm up.
After finishing the shower a while later, Donwoo entered the bedroom to see Jeean. Whenever he returned late, he often found himself looking at Jeean without realizing it.
At such times, his complicated feelings would subside, and his chest would feel warm. Today, he seemed to understand the reason.
Donwoo mumbled softly.
“Because it’s love.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
