“Hoo, I’m relieved, Nuna. I… sniff, even though I was right next to you, I couldn’t protect you…”
Jehoon sobbed like a lament in conveying his condolences. He had been crying like that all the time while Se-gyeong, who had fallen into the swimming pool, was in the hospital. Perhaps that’s why Jehoon’s eyes were reddened.
“Stop crying. I’m okay.”
Se-gyeong patted Jehoon’s shoulder. It was me who told him not to follow me, just to take a short walk around. Seeing him act as if falling into the water was his fault, Se-gyeong felt even more sorry for him.
“They say you’ll be hospitalized for a while?”
To Director Song’s question, Se-gyeong smiled and nodded.
“I’m not really sick. Everyone’s worried, that’s all. After regaining consciousness yesterday, Se-gyeong underwent another detailed examination. Not only blood pressure and blood sampling but also fetal movement tests and ultrasounds were conducted, checking on Angko’s condition.”
Fortunately, the bleeding completely stopped on the early morning of that day, and it was said that the placenta had not detached. The cause of the bleeding seemed to be a burst blood vessel due to the shock when she fell into the swimming pool.
Although there seemed to be no signs of a miscarriage, the doctor advised observing the situation for a few more days due to the external shock.
“Director Song, were you surprised too? I’m sorry. I told you I’d be careful, but…”
Unexpectedly, O-yeori popped out of nowhere.
“How far did the news article spread? It seems like the news of me being hospitalized has already come out. Someone said there was an article written about that incident.”
Director Song could only respond with an awkward smile.
Perhaps to prevent Se-gyeong from getting stressed by reading the news, Tae-jo issued a prohibition on using the internet for a while. He didn’t even give Se-gyeong a phone.
As a result, the only information Se-gyeong could get was from entertainment news programs on TV.
But even that she couldn’t watch without Tae-jo or Jeong-lan present.
“Didn’t you hear about the internet ban? Don’t worry about the news article; just focus on your health now.”
“I was curious because I couldn’t see it. I’m fine now.”
“Oh my, you’re really fine. It’s been two days since you woke up. The fever went down yesterday evening.”
“So, you weren’t going to tell me?”
Se-gyeong, her lower lip slightly pouted, looked down at Jehoon.
It was a look that seemed to say, “Even you, please tell me.” However, realizing how much Tae-jo had kept him in check, Jehoon lowered his head to the point of covering his mouth with his hand.
“If you keep doing this, I might go out and get a phone myself.”
“Well, President-nim told Se-gyeong not to worry.”
Director Song made a groaning sound as if in pain. Still, Se-gyeong seemed to know a few things, and he reluctantly decided to tell her.
“For now, the news article about Se-gyeong being hospitalized came out a long time ago. Yesterday, an additional press release was issued, stating that Se-gyeong’s condition had greatly improved, and she needs to take a break for a while.”
“How did the filming go? Do you know who wrote the article on the internet?”
“No, you said you don’t have a phone. How did you find out about that?”
In response to Director Song’s question, Se-gyeong gestured toward the TV hanging on the wall.
“Were you watching entertainment news all day?”
“Director Song, you’ve been in the hospital for a few days too. Reading a book takes only an hour or two.”
“Well, then you must know roughly what’s going on. Our filming has naturally been suspended. On that day, it seems someone saw two staff members of O-yeori’s filming team talking. The person who wrote the post on the community seems to be that person. I didn’t intentionally look for it, though.”
Se-gyeong nodded playfully. Who could it be? At that time, there were hardly any people around.
“What’s the content? What did the staff write?”
“I saw the two of them having a fight. Se-gyeong was struggling with O-yeori, holding hands. And…”
At the vague end of his words, Director Song glanced at Se-gyeong. It was a worried expression, as if afraid that his words might bring back memories of that time.
“Well, it seemed like that person deliberately made Se-gyeong fall into the water.”
“That also made it to the news, right? How about O-yeori? She doesn’t seem like someone who would stay quiet after seeing that.”
“According to A&J’s official statement, it’s a unilateral claim by the staff, and they are denying it. O-yeori also claims she is unjustly accused. We said we would assess the situation and take follow-up measures as soon as Se-gyeong recovers.”
Se-gyeong listened to Director Song’s words and fell into thought.
In fact, yesterday evening, Ye-ryeong came to Moon Byeong and reported O-yeori for running away. She even requested a travel ban in case she tried to escape overseas.
Because of that, Jehoon and Director Song also went as witnesses and gave statements. However, O-yeori, who was accused, did not respond to the summons.
