Trying not to get involved in unnecessary trouble, Arin made an effort not to look at the noisy place and headed towards her car. It was the moment she opened the car door.
Thud.
A sharp sound reached Arin’s ears. Unintentionally, she turned her head in the direction of the sound.
“Are you seriously making fun of me?”
Arin’s eyes narrowed. At the end of her gaze, Jaehyuk and Jung Yeo-sa stood.
Jaehyuk and Jung Yeo-sa did not notice Arin.
Recalling the humiliation she had felt a while ago, Jung Yeo-sa gritted her teeth.
Since Jaehyuk, whom she had continuously rejected, appeared at the dining table, she wondered if her offer to give a department store worked.
“If Chairman Min says he won’t marry after seeing me, what am I worth?”
Recalling what Jaehyuk said to Chairman Min, Jung Yeo-sa clenched her fists.
[Chairman Min, do you know that I got married?] [“What’s that supposed to mean?”] [From what I heard, you seem to value Chairman Min more than your own daughter, who you claim to love dearly. Enough to want to marry your beloved daughter to a divorced man. That’s why I’m saying this.] [What, what is it?] [Haven’t you heard the rumors about me? I’m going crazy and returning to my wife…….] [This person!]Chairman Min was furious. His face, like a crushed can, distorted mercilessly and turned a mix of red and blue as he glared at Jaehyuk, who was breathing heavily. And Jung Yeo-sa, avoiding Chairman Min’s intense gaze, hurriedly avoided his eyes.
“How devastated do you think Eugene would be? How do you think Chairman Min would feel if you talk like that in that position? Is this just marriage? It’s business. LW Department Store means a lot to us.”
Jaehyuk’s face chilled at Jung Yeo-sa’s words.
“I have told you several times. I have no intention of getting married. Ignoring that is disrespectful, Mother. Since Mother doesn’t close her heart and talks recklessly, I have no choice but to talk to Chairman Min directly.”
“Ban Jaehyuk, are you saying I’m doing well alone? It’s all for you. Why are you making Mother so upset?”
“Do you really think it’s for me?”
“What?”
“Enough. It’s tiresome to say such things now.”
Jaehyuk touched his swollen cheek with his hand as he spoke.
“And you’re thinking about Ms. Min. If you really care about her, you should not let her marry me. Regardless of whether I’m a divorced man or not, isn’t the person who knows best that it would be difficult for Ms. Min to be by my side none other than you, Mother?”
“Eugene has liked you for a long time.”
“Mother.”
“Ban Jaehyuk. Are you doing this because of Choi Arin? Who is she to make you like this? How long are you going to live with such a low-level girl?”
“Stop it.”
“Do I have to take her away completely for you to come to your senses?”
“Mother!”
The cruelly low voice echoed like an echo in the quiet parking lot.
Jung Yeo-sa realized what she had said and was taken aback.
She should never have spoken about Arin.
Jaehyuk glared at Jung Yeo-sa with a colder look than before, as if piercing through her. In a low and gloomy voice, he spoke.
“Mother, that is an unbearable name. I clearly told you not to mention that name and not to pay attention to it. Have you forgotten it by now?”
Jaehyuk took a step closer to Jung Yeo-sa and looked down at her. The look in his eyes was not one of a family member.
It was filled with hatred and contempt, the kind that wants to kill but cannot be killed.
“Live as if you were dead. If you knew how much effort I am putting in to endure you, you wouldn’t be like this. Do it once more. I don’t know what I’ll do then, but if you’re curious, try it. At that time, I won’t be able to keep Mother’s secret either.”
Jaehyuk sneered at Jung Yeo-sa. Her fist trembled. Her eyes, filled with anger, turned a blinding shade of red.
“Ban Jaehyuk, why are you like this? Why have you changed so much? I am your mother. Why are you like this? I told you it’s a misunderstanding. And please, let’s stop now. Why are you so obsessed with someone from the past? What does she say?”
“Stop it.”
Jaehyuk’s head throbbed. He detested this situation that repeated itself every time.
He had no intention of hearing Jung Yeo-sa’s justifications either.
“There’s nothing more to say. Leave.”
“Jaehyuk-ah.”
Jaehyuk decisively opened the car door behind Jung Yeo-sa.
“Get in. We may have agreed today, but there won’t be a next time. If people find out that the heir to VAN Group is the one who loses his temper first, what do you think they’ll think? Don’t forget that I tolerate Mother because of Father.”
“Ban Jaehyuk.”
“Get in. If you don’t, I’ll push you in.”
“My words aren’t finished yet.”
Jung Yeo-sa seemed unwilling to get in with her own feet. Helplessly, Jaehyuk pushed Jung Yeo-sa into the back seat. Bending down and looking into the car, he spoke.
“Father is not in immediate danger of dying. Stay quiet until Father regains consciousness. Don’t shock him by revealing Mother’s secret when he wakes up.”
“Hey, Jaehyuk. Ban Jaehyuk.”
As if not wanting to hear it, Jaehyuk closed the car door.
Roughly ruffling his hair, Jaehyuk took out his phone. The recipient was Director Han.
[Yes, Vice Chairman.]“Pick up Mother. B2, 9th-floor parking lot. Do you know Mother’s car?”
[Yes, I know.]“Yeah. Please do it secretly.”
[Understood.]Jaehyuk ended the call and moved slowly. Frustration overwhelmed him as he roughly ran his hand through his hair.
‘I don’t want to do this, but why.’
Chairman Min complained arrogantly. Perhaps unable to withstand the rising anger, Chairman Min left the room first. Ha-yeon followed him, expressing gratitude with a nod. Eugene looked at Jaehyuk with teary eyes.
‘If I don’t give up with ordinary methods, and if I use a stronger method… The price is severe.’
Jaehyuk soothed his swollen cheek. Obviously angry Jung Yeo-sa struck him with all her might. It even stung where the ring scratched.
Jaehyuk loosened his tie. He wanted to wash away this dirty feeling right away.
Jaehyuk quickly walked to where his car was parked.
Arin, who had seen Jaehyuk and Jung Yeo-sa, couldn’t move. Her mind was incredibly confused.
‘Choi Arin, just pretend you don’t know. Just get in the car as if you haven’t seen anything.’
Arin felt helpless as she couldn’t do anything herself, but she couldn’t just pass by Jaehyuk, pretending not to know.
“……. ”
In the end, Jaehyuk and her eyes met. His footsteps stopped right in front of her.
Jaehyuk’s gaze shook fiercely. Arin had to pass by and avoid his gaze, but her body wouldn’t move.
Arin looked at Jaehyuk’s reddened cheek. Her eyes, confirming the long sigh, narrowed slightly.
In Arin’s mind echoed the conversation between Jaehyuk and Jung Yeo-sa a while ago.
[Ban Jaehyuk. Are you doing this because of Choi Arin? Who is she, anyway? What’s lacking in you that you’re like this? How long are you going to live with such a low-level girl?]‘Is my brother still…? What on earth does that mean?’

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
