If you remember that incident, it would be obvious, but Jaeyo’s change in attitude happened before, more precisely, immediately after Jaeyo’s father, Seungwoon, died.
[‘Why is Jaeyo suddenly like this? I don’t understand.’] [He lost both parents, so it’s inevitable he’d be in shock.] [Well… Even so, Keunghui, you’ve followed him well. Keep an eye on Jaeyo.]The moment Jaeyo began to stay away from me.
[‘Yes. I missed him because he jumped off without warning.’]Remembering the most tense moment in her life, Keunghui bit her dry lips with her tongue.
Keunghui’s gaze lowered.
“If you knew that…”
With a blurry ending, Keunghui once again whispered into Chaeyoon’s ear.
“Jaeyo wouldn’t be by your side right now.”
Her voice slid like a snake.
The tone, giving a sensation as if squeezing one’s throat, was chilling and almost penetrating.
Chaeyoon’s body tensed.
Keunghui, firmly gripping Chaeyoon’s nape, added with her hand.
“So if you want to keep seeing Jaeyo, behave yourself. Got it?”
Having finished speaking, Keunghui smiled. A courteous, benevolent smile.
“Then, let’s see each other again soon?”
Keunghui lightly patted Chaeyoon’s cheek and stood up from her seat.
Clack, clack, with leisurely steps, Keunghui left the room.
Watching Keunghui’s departure with a calm stride, Chaeyoon took a deep breath as the door closed with a thud.
“Sigh…”
Unaware that she had been holding her breath, as she exhaled, her mind began to clear.
[‘If you knew that, Jaeyo wouldn’t be by your side right now.’]Wouldn’t be by my side.
What does that mean?
Suddenly feeling a rising uncomfortable feeling, her hair bristled.
An inexplicable anxiety swept over her. As Chaeyoon’s heart began to beat unpleasantly fast, she closed her eyes tightly.
‘First, calm down…’
As Chaeyoon was trying to compose herself, her eyes suddenly opened wide.
“Oh, right.”
Chaeyoon opened her bag and took out another phone from inside.
There, a video, not an audio recording, was currently being recorded.
Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:
“Before Keunghui arrived, it was the camera footage installed in the corner of the room, and fortunately, the recording was going well.
Chaeyoon moved her fingertips, filled with tension, to check the recorded video.
Every situation was clearly visible, and the conversation between Keunghui and her was also audible, but the important words were not clear.
『Did you hate seeing that so much?』
『Well…….』
『If you knew that…….』
Even after turning up the volume to the maximum, Chaeyoon’s mouth twisted in frustration at the barely audible voices.
“Now, it seems like I won’t be able to meet Oppa without him knowing…….”
Even today’s appointment was barely held, avoiding Jaeyo’s eyes.
[Don’t meet. I’ll handle it.] [Oppa.] [No.] […….] [Everything else is okay, but don’t meet Little Mother, listen to me.]The firm look Jaeyo gave her flashed through her mind.
‘What should I do?’
Thinking that this was a bit insufficient, the phone placed on the table suddenly vibrated.
Startled by the sudden sound, Chaeyoon checked the caller.
「Jaeyo Oppa」
A greater tension than when facing Keunghui overwhelmed Chaeyoon.
