When I Reach You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 128

[Hey! You lunatic!]

Soon Seok’s shrill voice exploded through the receiver, sharp enough to rupture eardrums.

“Oh, seriously. I’ve already agreed to take money from Ji Eun Jae. That idiot Yoon Seon Woo even gave her an officetel in her name.”

Bro, it’s a whopping five hundred million—five hundred million! Could you possibly give that up, bro? Even as Seung Cheol coaxed and cajoled, Soon Seok’s attitude remained unchanged.

“I checked the market value, and it easily exceeds one billion. If I ask for more, he’ll probably give it.”

[I warned you not to go near Yoon Seon Woo.]

“It’s not *Yoon Seon Woo*—it’s *Ji Eun Jae*.”

[But you said they got married, so they’re practically one person—family!]

“But honestly, it looks like they’ll split up soon anyway.”

Seung Cheol counted on his fingers the days remaining until he’d meet Ji Eun Jae, glancing at the calendar.

“Hyung, only one week left. And what crime did we even commit? Even if there *was* a crime, we don’t deserve punishment for it.”

[What nonsense is that?]

“Don’t you know about statutes of limitation? All crimes expire after twenty years—unless it’s murder. This happened twenty-three years ago. Did we push him to confess? That idiot Ji Tae Gwang voluntarily turned himself in, overwhelmed by tearful sentiment. Did we even pray for him to get cancer and die?”
