Ji Han brazenly asked me if I had nothing to say.
“I don’t.”
There couldn’t have been more I wanted to say.
As I firmly spoke and turned away, Ji Han grabbed my wrist.
“No. There must be something you want to say.”
I could feel the glances of passersby as they looked at us.
With his intense gaze not seeming to let me go, I had no choice but to follow him.
There was no benefit to attracting attention in front of the broadcasting station.
No words were exchanged until we reached Ji Han’s car parked in the station’s lot.
Ji Han broke the silence first once we were inside the car.
“You want to return to work?”
“Yes. I want to.”
“Why? You decided to quit, didn’t you?”
I recalled the memory of deciding to quit because of my parents-in-law’s wishes.
The previous version of me knew nothing, so it was a decision made by my past self.
As I turned my body toward him, his face, looking forward, seemed somewhat annoyed.
“My mind has changed.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Ji Han, asking about our previous conversation, sounded quite irritated.
“Same goes for attending the shareholders’ meeting.”
As he brought up past events, his face looked frustrated, as if he couldn’t understand me.
“You’ve been acting strange lately. It’s like you’ve become a different person in an instant.”
That’s right. The person you knew died in front of the courthouse.
Ji Han seemed to be heading towards the newlywed home I was staying in after leaving the broadcasting station.
Inside the car stopped at a red light, he turned his head from looking forward to face me.
“I know very well how much you loved the anchor position that you took on despite your family’s opposition.”
You knew that?
“But not anymore.”
He seemed to have studied quite a bit about me before we got married.
“I don’t want my wife to be the talk of the town. You’re already attracting attention.”
His gaze was intense as he stared at me.
He tried to wrap it up with tender words, but his true intention was for me not to do anything.
“Mr. Seo Ji Han, I’ll handle my own affairs.”
“How can it be just your affair? You’re now the face of Hojin too. Don’t be irresponsible.”
My words, after a long silence, made his face harden in an instant.
Through the car window, I saw the familiar view of the apartment complex.
Before I could even say anything, the phone in my hand vibrated and lit up.
It was Uncle Hyun Ik’s familiar name on the screen.
Ji Han, who had just finished parking, glanced at the screen with the ringing sound.
He pretended not to know the name on the screen and asked.
“Aren’t you going to answer it?”
“I can call back later.”
As I didn’t pick up the phone, the call ended, and shortly after, a text message arrived.
“You seem to be in frequent contact with Attorney Park lately.”
The usual rational Ji Han had returned, without any trace of his raised voice.
As I lifted my head from the screen, he stared intently at me as if trying to dig into my thoughts.
“Because he’s W Group’s legal counsel.”
I grabbed my bag and unbuckled my seatbelt.
Just as I reached for the car door, Ji Han’s soft voice reached my ears.
“Wait a moment.”
I stopped getting out of the car and was held back by him. Ji Han turned his body and took something out from the back seat.
‘That is…’
It was the wedding ring that I couldn’t put on my finger at the wedding ceremony.
Ji Han took the ring out of the case and slid it onto my ring finger.
“They say most brides feel anxious before the wedding.”
He glanced at me and continued.
“If ordinary brides feel that way, it’s understandable for you, considering you had a big issue.”
It wasn’t because of that reason…
How could you pretend to care and understand me?
“I’m just really worried that you might get hurt in this turmoil.”
Ji Han appeared to be more concerned about me than anyone else, with his sorrowful eyes.
“You don’t have to do anything, Yeo Jin.”
Had he ever called my name so tenderly before?
I knew his words were meant to break down my guard, but my mind felt hazy.
I thought I had become stronger, but seeing this ring made all my efforts seem in vain, and I was overwhelmed once again.
“Just stay as you are, like a greenhouse flower that knows nothing.”
“So you can easily take everything away from me.”
It seemed like Ji Han, who had taken everything from me in my previous life, was constantly provoking me.
His smile while looking at me was genuinely disgusting.
Because I knew the hidden meaning behind his sweet words.
“Lean on me and rest.”
.
.
.
I returned home and, with unrelenting anger, opened the wine cellar.
I grabbed a half-empty bottle of wine and drank it without pause. The wine flowed down my throat and seeped into my blouse.
“Sigh…”
I finished the half-empty bottle of wine without leaving a single drop.
Yet my thirst and the heat that wrapped around my body didn’t subside.
I thought it would be better if I were drunk, but my mind seemed to become even clearer.
