“We last met here. You and me. It was originally the house you lived in.”

Soye, sitting in front of the Irish table before the landlord, took out her phone.

Tap, the fancy parts of her trembling fingers pressed the green button.

I’ll break up with you, and if I break the promise, I’ll accept whatever I do. Just two things.

Ji An, who heard the voice played by Soye, couldn’t help but chuckle.

In the memory that came up, the one who blamed her as a mistress was not Mrs. Gusejun, but Kim Soye.

I’m breaking up with you.

After Kim Soye’s words, a small whisper flowed.

As the voice of a sinner fell into her ears, the bitter water rose.

Tell me your name too, that you’ll break up with Taekang Hyun.

That’s enough, this should be it.

Do it.

Miss Kim Soye.

Do it!

In the midst of stubborn insistence, with the name inserted into the middle of the speech, the sound of the wind flowing between the intermittently whispered words couldn’t be distinguished as a sigh or a sob.

Next. It’s not over yet.
If we don’t break up, Miss Kim Soye, no matter what you do to me, I’ll accept it.

Facing Soye, who was stubbornly insisting, Ji An brushed aside her messy hair and sighed.

“She told me to do that. Was she like that when she was young?”

It was unclear with what intention she spat out those words, but with a voice trembling with emotion, Ji An found herself more willing to confront Soye.

“What?”

“So, how does it feel not being able to reach even the tip of Taekang Hyun’s toes for the past 4 years without Han Seo Yoon?”

“Ha, who’s this now!”

“Who is it? It’s a word to a stalker who’s lost her mind.”

“Why did the child become so rebellious? Why did she get so bad?”

Perhaps because she had been alive without a break. Muttering to herself, Kim Soye raised her eyebrows as if genuinely curious.

“If I met the gang-hyun now, a child who still doesn’t know how to deal with people.”

After meeting Han Seo Yoon in person, Ji An deeply agreed with the advice Chairman Tae Seok Jung had given her.

At that time, Seo Yoon, who couldn’t even open her mouth to Gang-hyun and was about to fall from exhaustion, was described as innocent in a good expression, and stupid in a bad one.

If it were herself, she would never have made the same choice as Han Seo Yoon, and she silently ridiculed herself several times.

However, Han Seo Yoon, who replaced Ji An’s life, was different from back then.

“When I listened to that recording, did I think I did something wrong? Even after four years, even if the memories come back, I won’t do that again.”

From Ji An’s mouth, facing the unexpectedly uncommunicative extraordinary personality, an unpleasant laugh burst out.

“What’s the lingering attachment to a man who doesn’t even notice you?”

“Shut up.”

Soye, who had been glaring at Ji An with narrowed eyes, loosened the tight corners of her mouth.

The annoying sense of defeat that she had been taken away from Gang-hyun became so much more comfortable when she thought it would be the last time today.

“Now it’s really over, so I’ll ask. Did you believe Taekang Hyun would be able to meet Han Seo Yoon’s twins? After living like a sick person for 4 years after Han Seo Yoon died?”

“You, who haven’t felt loved, won’t know until you die. If you’ve said everything, now get out.”

As soon as Ji An issued the eviction order, the intercom in the hallway rang.

Waiting only for that sound, Soye, as expected, quickly moved and eagerly pressed the open button on the remaining front door.

“What are you doing now?”

Ji An, with a frowning expression, grabbed Kim Soye’s wrist.

“I heard it earlier. If we don’t break up, no matter what I do, it’s okay.”

Rejecting Ji An’s hand, Kim Soye held her breath, hoping someone coming up in the elevator would knock on the last remaining front door.

“You broke the promise first. In the end, since we didn’t break up, I can do anything.”

Feeling a strange pleasure in Kim Soye’s eyes filled with a certain chill, Ji An took out her mobile phone.

Ding-dong.

The sound of the doorbell made eye contact between Kim Soye and Ji An.
Rushing Ji An, Soye roughly pushed her, stepped on the shoe rack barefoot, and pulled down the rattling door latch.

A man who had pushed his large foot through the open door crack approached Ji An, step by step.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kang Hyun, crossing the threshold of Liwon, which Tae Seok-kyu had designated as the meeting place, touched the scarf Ji An had wrapped around him.

The voice Ji An heard in the car coming here was not good, and the more anxious she was, the more she wanted to go home quickly.

“Why did Chairman Tae contact me first?”

Seok-won, who was walking alongside Kang Hyun, opened his mouth.

“Because Geu-se-jun was caught. He probably wants to pass quietly.”

“I’ve informed Prosecutor Jang that Chairman Tae Seok-kyu is meeting him.”

Following the employee’s guidance, when we turned the corner, Manager Jo, who was waiting in front of the secret room favored by Chairman Tae, nodded his head.

“Go in.”

In front of Manager Jo, who opened the door himself, Tae Seok-kyu looked up with a smiling face.

Kang Hyun entered without any greetings and took a seat opposite Tae Seok-kyu.

Manager Jo tried to stop Seok-won from entering together, but with a stern expression, Seok-won pushed away the blocking arm and filled the seat next to Kang Hyun.

The folding doors on both sides were held together in Manager Jo’s hand, closing into one.

“It’s been a long time, Kang Hyun. Did you eat?”

“There’s no time to chat leisurely. Please keep it brief.”

“Yeah, there’s no time to chat leisurely.”

Mumbling unclear words, Tae Seok-kyu, who echoed the meaning, wiped the smile lines from his wrinkled eyes.

“I wonder how much our nephew knows.”

“I’ll ask first. Did you need help with Geu-se-jun, who killed his fiancee?”

“If that fiancee didn’t look exactly like Seo Yoon, I wouldn’t have helped. I thought if she really had Seo Yoon’s blood, she would be somehow useful.”

Hearing an answer that did not deviate from expectations, Kang Hyun, with a ridiculing look, tapped the table with her fingers.

“Dr. Han seems to have no more intention of hiding. She’s ready to testify and pay the penalty later.”

Tae Seok-kyu’s face, who belatedly realized why Dr. Han had not been in touch recently, froze coldly.

Even if Dr. Han’s testimony is added to Geu-se-jun’s confession, there will be no way out.

“Even if you explain it in any way, Hyung, you should step down from that position.”

“Kang Hyun, I didn’t tell you how I got this position.”

“Well.”

“It was like a golden opportunity earned by your father’s loyal dog living as a dutiful dog. It was an opportunity.”

It was also thanks to Geu-se-jun, who tried to kill Seo Yoon and pushed Kang Hyun and Seo Yoon with a car.

Knock-knock .
While Tae Seok-kyu, assigned to detain Kang Hyun while dealing with Seo Yoon at the Hannam-dong apartment, was about to bring up some musty old stories, Director Jo, who had knocked on the door, entered and bowed his head to Seok-kyu’s ear.

“They say she entered the apartment.”

It was a rare piece of good news that brought laughter involuntarily.
