“Oh Su Hee left her prescription behind.”
Saying that he had seen the prescription likely meant he knew the contents of the medicine.

It was a mental illness, something that could happen to anyone, at any time.

There was absolutely no shame in not being mentally well.

Yet, the reason Su Hee hid it from others was because she didn’t want to share her pain.

She had never shared the weight of her life with anyone since she was born.

So she didn’t know how to untangle the knot in her heart, or how to share it.

Rather, the person who saw it as a burden was her mother, Ae Ran.

When Su Hee cried out of hardship, Ae Ran scolded her and taught her that it was shameful to show her burdens to others.

So, when Seung Jo said that he had seen her prescription, Su Hee felt despair.

Because her burdens were revealed one by one, not to just anyone, but to Han Seung Jo.

“Did you see the medicine I was prescribed, too?”
Even though her hand under the table was shaking, she acted as if nothing was wrong.

“I saw what medicine it is.”
“So, are you going to announce that actress Oh Su Hee has a mental illness? And that’s why she can’t come back?”
“……”
“Or are you going to use it as a threat? Would that be a reason for blackmail?”
“Oh Su Hee.”
When Seung Jo called her name with weight, Su Hee realized that she was agitated.

When Su Hee closed her mouth, Seung Jo calmly spoke.

“Do you only see me as such a person?”
Su Hee, who had calmed her swelling chest, closed her eyelids.

Su Hee had not yet regained her sanity from what happened in the morning.

In the photo that Chul Yong showed her, there was a woman wearing a white hat and standing at the OB/GYN desk.

And the woman in the picture had a similar physique to Su Hee.

It was a photo that could easily be misunderstood if looked at through the colored glasses of ‘Su Hee’.

Apparently, everyone had the same thought as there were over a thousand comments in one post.

[That’s the same outfit Su Hee wore to the airport last time.] [Looks like Su Hee’s pregnancy is confirmed.] [How do you determine that’s Su Hee from that picture alone?]

While a few defended Su Hee, they were the extreme minority.

The problem didn’t arise solely because of that picture.

After today’s interview ended, articles poured out like a flood.

[Oh Su Hee, unable to answer about the community picture.] [Oh Su Hee falls as if shocked.] [Oh Su Hee goes pale during interview… disappears with the help of her manager.]

If she had seen the community photo in advance, Su Hee wouldn’t have just kept her mouth shut in response to the reporter’s question.

However, Su Hee was unaware of the true nature of the photograph.

Moreover, she couldn’t regain her senses due to the sudden onset of nausea.

From that single interview, the tag of pregnancy got attached to Su Hee.

“Sorry. I was overexcited.”
“I understand if you’re angry. It’s clearly my fault.”
Su Hee placed the paper bag she had put on the floor onto the table.

“As you can see, I’m not feeling well so I think I’ll have to go. There’s dinner money and a shirt that I rented in Paris inside.”
It was when Su Hee, who had finished her words, was about to get up from her seat.

“I apologize.”
The apologies, earlier and now, were too abrupt.

Su Hee opened her tightly shut lips.

“You already apologized.”
“The earlier apology was for looking at Oh Su Hee’s prescription.”
“And what about now?”
“For not believing when Oh Su Hee said she wasn’t pregnant.”
“…..”
“That’s the apology.”
The clear words that were stated left a heavy feeling in Su Hee’s heart.

While everyone blocked their ears and turned their backs to Su Hee’s words, only Seung Jo saw the truth and turned towards her.

“I’m not hurt just because the CEO didn’t believe me.”
“…..”
“So you don’t have to apologize.”
Saying her words calmly, Su Hee stood up from her seat.

“I’m not feeling well, so I don’t think I can eat dinner together.”
Without waiting for Seung Jo’s response, Su Hee rushed out of the dining room.

While watching Su Hee walk away, Seung Jo did not try to stop her.

Seung Jo, who had been quietly sitting and keeping his place, pushed the chair and stood up after seeming to have sorted his thoughts.

And when the server who brought the ordered food entered the room, Seung Jo put on his jacket that was hanging on the coat rack.

Su Hee, who had left the restaurant first, was waiting at the end of the sidewalk for a taxi.

Perhaps because it coincided with quitting time, the wide road was full of cars.

Su Hee also wanted to come by car according to her heart, but she could not drive as her head was dizzy just holding the steering wheel.

She waved her hand, but the orange cars were all carrying passengers.

“Isn’t that Oh Su Hee?”
“Where?”
People started to gather around Su Hee, who was trying to catch a taxi.

Being conscious of the people, Su Hee’s head kept dropping.

While she was only looking at her toes, a car parked in front of Su Hee.

Thinking it was a taxi, she raised her bowed head.

Unexpectedly, the car parked in front of her was Seung Jo’s black sedan.
