“…I know you must be in a daze.”
Director Han was the first to speak. She looked at him with vacant eyes.
“We need to inform you of Chairman’s situation.”
“The situation?”
“Yes. That’s correct.”
Jaehyuk’s case had been reported to the police, and an investigation was underway.
In just one day, the news that the leader of the VAN Group, leading the Korean business world, was in a life-and-death situation spread nationwide in an instant, flooding the internet. Since this morning, numerous press teams had already gathered in front of the hospital, engaging in fierce coverage.
“Did they catch the perpetrator?”
“It might be better to hear in a different location.”
At Director Han’s words, Arin nodded.
“…Yes. Please go.”
“We’ll take you to a quiet place.”
Arin looked at Euna, who was standing by his side.
“It might be good for Rachel, who was at the scene of the accident, to listen as well.”
“…Ah.”
With a teary face, Euna nodded gently toward Arin. The three of them went up to the terrace on the top floor of the building.
Director Han pushed the door open and spoke.
“We borrowed this place for a moment from the hospital.”
“…Yes.”
Arin, Euna, and Director Han sat at the table on the terrace.
“The assailant is currently detained in prison. The results of the drunk driving test showed a blood alcohol level exceeding 0.2%, resulting in a license cancellation status. There was no black box in the accident vehicle. It is highly likely to be concluded as drunk driving. The problem is the question of intentionality. The police seem to be leaning towards a simple drunk driving conclusion, but in my opinion, the accident vehicle seems to have directly targeted Miss Rachel.”
Director Han briefly explained the accident, but for Arin, it echoed like a reverberation. The sound that couldn’t enter through her eardrums lingered around her ears.
“For us, proving this intentionality is the top priority. To reveal the fact that it’s not just drunk driving, we secured black box footage from eyewitnesses and cars parked near the scene of the accident. We plan to submit the evidence to clarify the driver’s intentionality. Moreover, this incident is not just an accident; it’s a clear attempted murder targeting Miss Rachel.”
Arin woke up at the word ‘attempted murder.’
“Attempted murder?”
“Yes.”
When Euna’s gaze turned towards her, she answered with a somber face.
“I have many enemies. It’s something that happened a few times in the United States.”
Euna’s response was shocking.
“When you have a lot, there are more who envy you. There are more fools who think they can have everything I have if I’m not there.”
She spoke with a bitter face.
“Soon, my husband will come to Korea. He and I will not let this incident pass. Although it’s not yet at the stage of mentioning compensation for Vice Chairman, my husband wants to repay the favor he owes.”
“…Ah.”
Euna held Arin’s hand.
“Of course, I know that small gestures like this can’t comfort Miss Arin’s heart, and I can’t repay the debt of saving Vice Chairman’s life, but still, I hope you won’t refuse. So, if there’s anything you need, please tell me. I’ll do anything if there’s something I can do.”
“…Yes.”
Without him, my world has collapsed.
I didn’t wish for anything else. I just wished that if he opened his eyes, if he could live like before, I could do anything.
“I’m sorry.”
Taesu bowed deeply in front of Madam Jung.
“Are you joking with me right now?”
Madam Jung laughed as if teasing a startled person, then grabbed Taesu by the collar.
“Han Taesu. Am I kidding? No matter what joke you make.”
When Taesu didn’t speak, Madam Jung’s face froze in an instant. She grabbed Taesu, who was trembling, with shaking hands.
“Don’t joke.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“Why are you like this? What, what is it?”
Madam Jung shook her head violently, as if she couldn’t believe it. From her trembling voice, an earnest desire to turn away from the situation could be felt.
“Is it real? Did I tell you to get rid of Choi Euna, to do something else?”
“…I’m sorry.”
“Why have you been failing since last time? I told you to get rid of Choi Arin, and you made things like this, and when I let you go, what happened?”
“…”
“Why is my son there when Heeuna should be there? Our Jaehyuk… there’s no way he could be lying there!”
“Madam.”
“No. Are you trying to fool me because it’s April Fool’s Day today?”
Madam Jung began to laugh as if teasing a startled person. After a moment, she grabbed her own hair and sank down.
