Hanok roofs are made of wood, mud, and tiles. Thanks to that, the structure is fast and injuries are minimal. Even though the roof collapsed onto her back, her spine was fine, and only two ribs were broken, and her arm on one side was the only thing injured.

This wasn’t a light injury, of course, but if the collapsed roof had been reinforced concrete, she would probably be behind a folding screen now, enjoying the smell of incense.

As it was not a significant injury, Sun-ah felt incredibly proud of herself.

‘I protected Chris!’
Due to the confidentiality agreement provided to the production team, I couldn’t boast about this fact in the Chris-related community, but that wasn’t a problem. The important thing was that Chris was okay.

Chris was also hospitalized in the same hospital. According to the production team who came to check on him, except for some minor burns on his legs, he was fine. However, to be cautious about potential aftereffects, he was temporarily admitted for stability. Once various tests confirmed he was okay, he was expected to be discharged in a few days.

Eun-seo rushed to the hospital and burst into tears.

“I’m sorry, Sun-ah, it’s because of me!”

It had been a while since she heard about the danger of the roof collapsing, and the miraculous logic was that it was her fault because she didn’t fix it sooner.

“Oh, our daughter!”

The mother who ran up in tears after her knew that Sun-ah was fine sooner than expected, and she immediately shifted to scolding.

“This thorny mother, didn’t I tell you to stop talking about celebrities? What the hell did you go and watch, ending up like this…!”

She even tried to smash her daughter’s back, who had broken ribs, and surprised Eun-seo had to rush in to stop her.

“Mother, please endure!”

The genuinely worried Sun-ah’s mother was concerned about Eun-seo’s intervention.

“Anyway, now that the house is like that, what should we do? Eun-seo, do you have a place to go?”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

Eun-seo replied nonchalantly, but Sun-ah knew it was a blatant lie. Sun-ah wasn’t someone who didn’t know Eun-seo’s situation. She knew there were no close relatives, and she didn’t have the financial means to stay in lodging facilities.

“Eun-seo, stay at our house for a while. You don’t have clothes or anything now. Wear my clothes and go to work. If you look inside the drawer, there are new underwear too.”

“No, how can I cause you trouble?”

Eun-seo raised both hands, but Sun-ah sternly expressed her anger to suppress her.

“I told you not to talk about causing trouble. Get a grip!”

Sun-ah’s mother also joined in.

“Yes. If Sun-ah is going to be discharged in two weeks, I’ll be scared to be alone at home, so stay at our house. Think of it as your own home and feel comfortable. Okay?”

“But I feel sorry, so how can I…”

Even so, because Eun-seo felt genuinely sorry, Sun-ah flipped the blanket over.

“Mom, I’m going to sleep now. Take Eun-seo and go home, and bring something delicious tomorrow!”

That’s how Eun-seo decided to stay at Sun-ah’s house for a while.

The next day, an unexpected person came to check on Sun-ah.

“Oh, Seung-joo…”

Almost calling her Seung-joo, Sun-ah hastily blocked her mouth. Right, she said she regained her memory!

Just by looking at her unhesitant steps entering the ward, you could tell that this Seung-joo was a different person from the one Sun-ah knew. Sun-ah greeted her while lying down.

“Did you come, Representative?”

“Don’t get up.”
The secretary approached and delivered a large fruit basket and a white bag. Without even considering the bag, Sun-ah responded curtly.

“I had no intention of getting up.”

Even though she had resigned, the other person was still the CEO of her company. Treating her like she was tossed out of a makeshift raft was revolting.

Seeing Seung-joo, who always followed her addressing her as “Sun-ah noona,” disappear without a trace, it felt like a huge hole had been punched in her heart. Why would Eun-seo endure such mistreatment from her?

Leaving the secretary outside, Kwon Seung-joo pulled an uninvited chair and sat beside her, then asked, “How are your injuries?”

Sun-ah glared at Kwon Seung-joo. “You remember everything, don’t you?”

He tilted his head slightly in response. “Even though I remember, how can I act like this toward Eun-seo?”

Instead of answering, he questioned, “So, where is Yoon Eun-seo now?”

“She decided to stay at our house for a while.”

Frustrated by her current situation and trying to brush her off, she shot back, but the unexpected response came back, “Kick her out.”

“What?”

Thinking she misheard, she asked, but he responded casually, “I mean, kick her out. If she doesn’t leave voluntarily, I’ll force her out.”

Sun-ah was astonished. Wasn’t one mean person enough in the world? Did he have to make everyone feel like that?

“Do you have any idea that Eun-seo has been barely making ends meet, paying off her mother’s debt month by month? She can’t even stay in a hotel for a few days, so where the hell is she supposed to go in the middle of winter?”

Lost in fear after the forceful words, Kwon Seung-joo clenched his fist and replied succinctly, “Penthouse.”
