Watching the situation where everyone was just exchanging glances, Young Joon snorted and sat back in his seat.
“Ji Han.”
A staff member sitting next to Young Joon called him quietly.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I got carried away while talking.”
“No, it’s fine. But, I don’t know the atmosphere well because I’ve been away for a while.”
The staff member asked Young Joon, who was fanning himself as if he was overheated.
“Are the things being said about Announcer Yoon Yeo Jin?”
Although the name was not mentioned, the atmosphere indicated so.
Young Joon hesitated to tell Yeo Jin’s story to an employee from another department but eventually answered.
“Yes, that’s right. Ugh, seriously. There are ridiculous rumors going around about Anchor Yoon.”
“Rumors?”
“I feel uncomfortable telling you the whole story. I’m sorry.”
Apologizing with a remorseful expression, Young Joon looked at the staff member, who waved their hand to say it was okay.
“No, it’s fine. It doesn’t seem like a good story anyway.”
The staff member was puzzled by the words that differed from what they knew.
Judging by people’s reactions, it seemed like Yeo Jin was neglecting her sick parents.
‘Something’s a bit strange.’
The staff member briefly entertained that thought before turning their attention to Young Joon, who continued talking while pointing at the monitor.
[We will end the news here.]Inside the radio studio for the evening broadcast, the green light that had been on the air went out.
‘It’s all over.’
She organized the scattered manuscripts around her and spoke to the staff members standing nearby.
“Good job, everyone.”
“Announcer, today is your last broadcast, right?”
She asked if I had heard the news about me being appointed as an anchor.
“Yes, unfortunately. It hasn’t been long since I received the appointment, but I’m really sad.”
“But it’s a promotion, right? Congratulations!”
After expressing her gratitude to the staff member, who seemed more excited than I was about becoming an anchor, she left the studio.
‘Did something get on me?’
Her hand felt sticky while recording the radio broadcast, wondering if something had gotten on her.
In the end, she stopped by the programming department to drop off her belongings and headed to the restroom.
‘Chae Seo Rin?’
She saw Seo Rin’s back as she entered the restroom at the end of the hallway.
Considering going to another restroom, she looked down at her sticky hands and opened the door.
As she entered the restroom, Seo Rin had already disappeared into a stall.
She was in the middle of washing her hands with soap, intending to leave right after.
Her phone, placed next to the sink, lit up and started ringing.
It was a call from Uncle Hyun Ik.
“Yes, Uncle.”
She threw away the tissue she had used to dry her hands and adjusted her grip on the phone.
“Is what I asked for ready?”
“Yeah, I’ve prepared everything, including the documents. How do you want to do this? Should I send it through someone?”
It was a favor she had asked of him after finding out about Intek.
She had thought of a way to naturally set a trap for the highly cautious Ji Han.
“No, I’d rather meet you in person.”
Receiving it through someone else seemed risky, so it was better to get it directly.
At that moment, the sound of a stall unlocking accompanied the door opening.
Her eyes met Seo Rin’s reflection in the mirror as she walked toward the sink.
Seo Rin approached her silently and stared at her intently.
“Can you come to a cafe near the broadcasting station tomorrow?”
“Alright, let’s do that.”
“See you tomorrow then.”
She hung up the phone while making eye contact with Seo Rin.
The hostility in Seo Rin’s eyes seemed to show how much she hated her.
‘She must be angry. She probably assumed she would get the anchor position.’
It made sense, as she was certain she would become an anchor but then the result changed unexpectedly.
Especially since Ji Han had personally stepped in, but still failed.
“Sister.”
She stopped as she was about to turn around when she heard a trembling voice calling her.
“What on earth is it?”
“…?”
Seo Rin, who seemed frustrated, leaned on the sink and then turned towards me.
“Did you use money?”
“What?”
“Or did that person, Seo Jae Ha, help you?”
Unable to comprehend, she retorted at Seo Rin, who then approached her.
“…What?”
“How could this happen… Why, how did you become the anchor?”
Seo Rin, who had come close enough to be in her face, questioned her accusingly.
Up close, Seo Rin looked half-crazed.
Unable to help it, she burst out in laughter at the absurdity, causing Seo Rin to narrow her eyebrows.
It seemed she was quite upset about losing to her.
“It’s all because of what you’ve done.”
Both the fact that she had locked her on the set to prevent her from participating in the audition and the attempt to become an anchor by relying on her fiancé’s power were all Seo Rin’s actions.
“Don’t you get it? Think about what you’re saying right now. You’re the one who tried to become an anchor by pushing my fiancé.”
“Ha…”
“Do you think I don’t know it was you who locked me on the set after calling me there?”
Seo Rin listened quietly to her words, then snickered and laughed.
“You don’t have any evidence, do you?”
Seo Rin looked at her with an arrogant gaze and spoke.
She had heard from a secretary that the CCTV on the second basement floor had been broken that day.
“I called you to the basement? I never went looking for Anchor Yoon.”
The director, who found out later, said he had never looked for her on the day of the audition.
The staff member who had relayed the message also said they had only received it through a messenger.
“From the beginning, the only person who would go this far is you, Chae Seo Rin.”
However, all of this was just circumstantial evidence; there was no definitive proof that she had done it.
And Seo Rin, knowing that fact as well, must have been so confident.
“Of course, I don’t have any evidence that you did it. I didn’t bother to look for it.”
Upon hearing that she hadn’t bothered to look, Seo Rin’s eyebrows twitched.
She didn’t want to get involved in her clumsy tricks. She didn’t have the time or the leisure to care about such trivial and petty matters.
“I didn’t want to get tired digging that up.”
It seemed that she understood the meaning of my words as her hardened face flushed red.
“But don’t ever provoke me again by involving my parents.”
She warned Seo Rin with an indifferent gaze.
She couldn’t just let it go that her parents, who were struggling between life and death, had been used for a mere rumor to belittle her.
“Because now, I feel like creating the evidence that didn’t exist before.”
If evidence was needed, she could create it.
Seo Rin clenched her fists tightly at the venomous gaze.
