Even without listening to the recording to the end, it was clear that Jongwon was directing everything.

Jongwon’s mind was complicated. Actually, after Hajoon was injured, he felt uneasy and, in a fit of anxiety, reset his phone and threw it into the Han River. Even the evidence that Jiyoung egged him on disappeared.

There was no evidence, but the truth was the truth, so he yelled for now.

“Prosecutor! I tried to stop because I was scared of being involved with Taesung Group! Kim Jiyoung egged me on! She threatened to expose this recording file to the world if I didn’t handle Han Seoa quickly!”

“Yes. Prosecutor. That’s correct. It was an unavoidable choice for the sake of our parents who wanted to achieve great things by cooperating with S Group. Because our parents would be pleased if S Group succeeded.”
Jongwon’s abrupt confession was embarrassing enough to make Jiyoung calmly admit.

Jongwon was bewildered. Although he was relieved that she confessed to instigating and threatening, it was different from what he knew.

“Well, what are you talking about? Wanting Kang Hajoon, asking to get rid of Han Seoa!”

“Ah. Did I not tell you, Oppa? Oppa proposed first, so it seemed intriguing. Honestly, I don’t get along with Hajoon’s mother. After realizing it was an unattainable dream, I decided to sacrifice for my parents.”

“…….”

“Ah. Also, get an illegal drug test for this Oppa.”

Jiyoung took out an envelope from her bag and handed it to the prosecutor.

“I attended a gathering, and because it seemed suspicious, I got tested. Turns out, the alcohol was spiked with drugs.”

“Hey, you X! Kim Jiyoung!”

As Jongwon jumped up to grab Jiyoung by the collar, the prosecutor intervened.

Despite the barrage of screams and curses, Jiyoung remained composed without blinking.

“Oppa brought this upon himself. If Oppa had defended me, I wouldn’t have brought this out. But, Oppa is like this, so I had no choice.”

At that moment, Jiyoung’s father, Chief Kim Muhan, prepared to leave.

He couldn’t stay still when things might go wrong for Jiyoung. It seemed necessary to meet people who could be of help. Whether there would be someone willing to help because it involved Taesung Group was uncertain.

However, as he left the house, reporters rushed towards him.

“Do you know that your niece, author Kim Jiyoung, is going to confess at the prosecutor’s office?”

“Author Kim Jiyoung knew about Manager Park Jongwon’s plan but pretended not to. She said it was because of her parents. What do you think?”

“Chief, didn’t you also know all these facts? Please give us a statement!”

Jiyoung’s father was so shocked that his legs went weak, and the driver rushed over to support him.

The world was in an uproar over the actions of S Group and Jongwon, Jiyoung’s revelations. Meanwhile, Hajoon and Seoa were enjoying a more peaceful time than ever.

From last night until Sunday afternoon now, except for coming out for breakfast and lunch, they hadn’t left the room.

As Hajoon’s left arm had limitations from using strength for a long time, they indulged in love leisurely.

Just colliding bare skin and locking eyes was enough. If Hajoon regained his strength, they kissed and engaged in increasingly intimate physical conversations.

When they thought they were finished and went to the bathroom to wash up, it started again.

In the beginning, Seoa thought it would end soon because it had been a while for him, but there seemed to be no end.

It wasn’t that she didn’t like it, but she couldn’t help but worry about Hajoon’s injured arm.

“How long are we going to keep doing this?”

Trapped in Hajoon’s arms on the bed, Seoa, feeling another strange atmosphere, asked.

“Until tomorrow morning?”

“…….”

“Why, don’t you like it?”

“No… it’s just, worried it might strain your arm, Honey…”
The approaching gaze was no different from last night, and Seoa, who was consistently burning with passion, stuttered at the end of her words, unable to push him away.

Soon, Hajoon buried his face in her neck, taking a deep breath.

Seoa, whose body shivered with goosebumps from the ticklish sensation, mumbled lightly.

“Do you know when it was most challenging to endure at the hospital?”

Lifting his face slightly from the one buried in her neck, Hajoon gazed at her intently and asked.

“W…when was it?”

“Right now, just after taking a shower.”

Hajoon once again buried his face in her neck and kissed her.

How could any man resist a woman who came out after washing and exuded a unique fragrance while sauntering around the narrow hospital room?

Thinking back, she felt proud that she endured what seemed insane now.

Again, Seoa had no choice but to accept his rough movements quietly. If she pushed him away, Hajoon would exert more force.

What she felt from last night until now was that it seemed better to make him comfortable as much as possible.

Since she liked him this way, she could endure a bit of physical strain.

Meanwhile, Hajoon’s phone vibrated incessantly, accumulating text messages.

The contents were updates about Jiyoung’s movements from Sukhoon.

The constant vibrating began to bother Seoa.

Then Seoa’s phone vibrated as well.

“Honey. Something must be wrong, right? My phone is vibrating too…”

Unnoticed, Hajoon, who had laid her down and was absentmindedly exploring her delicate body, paused when he heard that it wasn’t his phone but Seoa’s that was ringing.

Then, reaching out one arm, he picked up Seoa’s phone and handed it to her.

While Seoa checked her phone, Hajoon continued the small kisses on her neck.

At that moment, Seoa’s eyes widened as she read the message.

[Seoa! You were kidnapped! What does this mean!!] [Did my husband injure his arm because of this??] [Is this really a photo of the accident scene? Is my husband really okay? Are you unharmed?]

The message included dismal photos of the accident scene.

“Honey. It seems like the fact that I was kidnapped has been revealed. My friends are in an uproar.”

“Is that so?”

This time, Hajoon picked up his phone and checked the messages.

“Kim Jiyoung confessed.”

Hajoon knew that Jiyoung would confess. If Jongwon’s guilt was recognized, it was obvious that Jongwon would drag Jiyoung down with him. So, Jiyoung choosing the lesser of two evils was probably the best option.

That’s why he didn’t bother asking her for help or to testify. He only hinted that S Group would fall.

It was a bit unexpected that she made excuses about her parents. Even if it were true, it would have caused less harm to her parents if she admitted it was her greed. Still, even parents should remain strong to have hope of standing up again.

“Ms. Kim Jiyoung knew? Is that true?”

Hajoon continued as Seoa was either shocked or not.
Seoa, who intended to send a message to her friends telling them not to worry, was extremely embarrassed.

“Honey. Wait, just this one message!”

“Send it. Your hands are free.”

“Well, that’s true, but the wording is a bit awkward, you know!”
