Eunseo didn’t say anything other than about the coat, but Seungju resolved internally to buy her matching shoes, a bag, a pretty dress, and cosmetics. He noticed none of her belongings were particularly nice – all were either old or plain. He hadn’t even seen her wear a ring or earrings. He always felt sad about it.
Eunseo deserved everything and anything. Seungju felt he could give her his entire bank account, except the money needed for the Playbox 5.
They walked towards the bank, light-hearted. Eunseo decided to wait outside while Seungju entered alone.
“I’d like to reset my account password.”
Seungju spoke in a deep, clipped tone, mimicking ‘Kwon Seungju’ as he learned from the videos. The bank teller seemed surprised by the balance in the account.
“Sure, sir. I’ll help you reset the password and then proceed with the withdrawal.”
The teller’s expression suddenly turned rigid.
“Sorry, sir, there’s a payment suspension on your account.”
“What? Why?”
“A freeze is placed on accounts suspected of being involved in criminal activities.”
“Is there a way to lift it?”
“You need to submit an objection form with evidence proving the account wasn’t involved in any crime. After our review, it’ll be forwarded to the Financial Supervisory Service. Then, it undergoes another round of review…”
Realizing the futility of it all, Seungju cut the explanation short and left the bank empty-handed.
[Star Icon]“…That’s what happened.”
Seungju returned from the bank, disheartened. His shoulders drooped, looking pitiable.
“I’m sorry, Nuna.”
“Don’t be.”
Eunseo wasn’t particularly disappointed, as she never intended to benefit from Seungju’s wealth. She just felt sorry for his disappointment.
“It must be the chairman’s doing, right?”
Seungju nodded.
“If things don’t go his way, cutting off the money supply is his first move.”
For a moment, a cold sneer replaced Seungju’s usually gentle face, sending a chill through Eunseo’s heart.
“Seungju?”
As Eunseo called out Seungju’s name anxiously, he turned towards her. Their eyes met, and he quickly returned to his gentle expression.
“Yes, Nuna.”
Eunseo sighed in relief, recognizing her Seungju.
The way back, unlike the lively chatter earlier, was marked by silence. Seeing Seungju’s deflated spirit, Eunseo pondered how to cheer him up.
Suddenly, Seungju’s pace slowed, his gaze fixed on a ‘Help Wanted’ sign at a convenience store. Eunseo preemptively shut down the idea.
“Don’t even think about it.”
“But if I can’t contribute to living expenses…”
“I can manage to feed one extra mouth, even with my limited capabilities,” Eunseo firmly stated.
“Just focus on studying hard and returning to the company.”
Initially, their relationship was merely a transaction to prevent demolition, but now, it had evolved. Her responsibility as a guardian, affection as a sister, and a sense of duty as an adult were all intertwined, forming a clear objective.
Seungju was kind, gentle, and pitiable.
Somehow, I will properly take care of you and send you back to your rightful place.
This resolution swelled in her heart.
“And once you’re back at the company, you better get me that fast-track promotion!”
She masked her sincerity with a hint of selfishness, not wanting to burden him.
“Don’t ignore me later, okay?”
Seungju looked at Eunseo extending her pinky finger, his expression complex.
[Star Icon]After his wealthy dreams evaporated, Seungju dedicated himself more to studying.
If he couldn’t regain his memory, the quickest way to stop burdening Eunseo was to return to the company. More than maintaining his position as the heir, he now longed to relieve Eunseo of her burdens.
Eunseo had jokingly said to promote her once he returned, but Seungju decided to take it seriously. Not just a promotion – he planned to fulfill any of her desires.
He added another line to his notebook, kept for future reference.
[Dash] Please promote Eunseo Nuna.With his natural intelligence and relentless effort, his studies progressed rapidly. After mastering the publicly available materials, he was now reviewing internal documents sent by Eunseo and Suna.
While studying, Seungju occasionally watched video materials.
[Dash] I deeply thank all the guests who have traveled far to celebrate my inauguration.As Seungju blankly watched his own image in the video of his inauguration as the CEO, he suddenly snapped back to reality.
“Uh?”
He quickly paused the video and rewound a few seconds. During a scene where the camera scanned the audience, he spotted a familiar face.
Though older than in his memories, there was no mistaking it.
Seungju’s heart began to race with excitement.
It was a link to his past.
