Jiyoung, who parked her car in the hospital parking lot where Hajun was hospitalized, recalled what Jongwon had said while sitting in the car.
Jiyoung. I found out that you’re practically an accomplice. A crime of standing by even when you knew. I even urged you to handle it quickly, and this conversation is being recorded, so don’t think about doing anything foolish.
If you had handed over the recording file to Kang Hajun a little faster, there would have been no danger to Han Seoa, and Kang Hajun wouldn’t have been hurt. Wouldn’t Kang Hajun be very pleased after receiving the recording file? Right?
You’ve already announced your marriage. If you don’t want your image to plummet, quietly wait.
Jiyoung also knew the fact. Although she knew there would be consequences for herself when things went wrong, she followed Jongwon’s will.
Seeing Jongwon remain calm when he should be the most anxious indicated that he had a plan. However, if that meant an opportunity for her to hold onto Hajun, she was conflicted.
She couldn’t decide whether to hand over the recording file or not, but after fixing her makeup blurred by tears, she got out of the car.
She wanted to check Hajun’s current condition. It seemed impossible to focus on anything else without personally confirming the condition of the person she loved, especially when she heard that he was not only injured but seriously injured.
The corridor on the floor with the VIP ward was full of bodyguards.
One of them approached Jiyoung as she got off the elevator.
“What brings you here? No visitors are allowed for all hospitalized patients on this floor.”
Jiyoung explained the situation to the bodyguard. She came to meet Hajun, and if he refused, she would go back without any complaints.
The embarrassed bodyguard went into Hajun’s room.
“A visitor has come. Although I strongly told them that visits are not allowed, please tell them once because of their circumstances.”
“…Who is it?”
“They say it’s Kim Jiyoung.”
As Hajun looked embarrassed, Seoa, who had her own concerns, pressed her lips first.
“Shall I meet her? Kim Jiyoung seemed to know something. You know, Unni and Yeobo knew that they were in danger because of me.”
“…I should meet her. Could you please give us a moment, Yeobo?”
“Are you sure?”
As Hajun smiled gently, Seoa responded with a smile.
Walking out of the room with the bodyguard, Seoa’s eyes met Jiyoung, who was waiting from a distance.
Jiyoung clenched her fists upon seeing Seoa. She wanted to shake and shake her until her makeup was ruined until she felt relieved inside. If it weren’t for Seoa, Hajun wouldn’t have been hurt.
But she held back, fearing that she might not be able to meet Hajun if she did so.
Standing in front of Jiyoung, Seoa lowered her head slightly and greeted her.
“Nice to see you again.”
“…I warned you. Hajun is in danger because of you.”
Jiyoung, with bloodshot eyes, bit her lower lip and said.
“It seems like you’re very interested in our marriage. Whether my husband is injured or not, it’s none of your business, Miss Kim Jiyoung. You should only be concerned about your injured friend, right?”
Jiyoung’s clenched fists trembled. She didn’t like the distinction drawn with ‘our marriage, my husband.’ Last time, she was at a loss for words, but why is she so confident today?
Jiyoung’s gaze, now composed after calming her trembling body, turned to the security guard standing nearby. If she continued to face Seoa, her body might move involuntarily, and she might end up slapping her cheek.
“What were you saying? Can I go in?”
“You should ask me about that since I’m the guardian.”
Jiyoung’s fine brows narrowed mercilessly. The Seoa in front of her now was not the same Seoa from before. She wasn’t the child who couldn’t meet her eyes properly due to her own restraint.
‘Why? Why is she more alive when she should be overwhelmed with guilt for Hajun’s injury? She should be confused, wondering if she should release Hajun. Why is she more spirited?’
“What did you say? If you came here out of concern as a friend, then go in and see.”
Seoa took a step back, opening the way. Jiyoung had no choice but to hesitate. It seemed like Seoa drew a line, defining their relationship as ‘friends.’
Reluctant to admit it, she had no choice if she wanted to see Hajun.
Soon, suppressing her rising anger, Jiyoung walked towards Hajun’s hospital room.
As soon as she entered the room, Jiyoung’s heart collapsed at the sight of Hajun.
She had thought it was a misunderstanding when she mistook the bodyguard’s body for Hajun. She couldn’t believe how this could happen when Seoa said something like she could die.
“It’s just for show. Don’t worry; he’s not seriously hurt.”
“Are you crazy? Did you decide to die? Was the rumor really true?”
Jiyoung’s eye area unexpectedly became moist, and to prevent her tears from flowing, Jiyoung turned her body slightly and stared at the ceiling.
