Weekly Chapter 5/5

Then she entered the room in silence. Her heart was racing. She still couldn’t get used to this dark world. All her life she knew that her father could drag her into these situations. However, she found herself romantically entangled with a prominent figure from that realm. Although she still didn’t know exactly what love was.

How could she explain the fact that they lived together, promised to protect each other, and she felt calm when she saw him? All those feelings seemed like love.

“Crazy.”

She could no longer deny the feelings in her heart.

“Don’t do it here because it will interfere with Jumi’s prenatal education.”

“Yes.”

“Cheolju.”

“Tell me.”

“Ensure that guy doesn’t appear here again.”

“Yes, brother.”

In a realm dominated by predators, unquestioning obedience came naturally.

There were times when there were no answers.

She ran all her life to avoid the place where her father belonged.

But now she was with Yoongyo.

Jumi was afraid that something more dangerous might happen in the future.

Maybe it wasn’t the right path.

“Why are you here?”

Yoongyo’s impatience led him to expedite his hospital discharge.

She was in her coffee shop. But she didn’t expect Jeonghyeon to come and visit her. When he entered the coffee shop, Jumi couldn’t believe it. He said he had come several times, but he came back because she wasn’t here. Jeonghyeon looked quite haggard. She guessed that she couldn’t converse with him around the employees. They sat in the office.

“Yami spread the rumor about you. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I’ve known Jo Yami for a long time. Her competitive nature drives her to do whatever it takes to achieve her desires. I decided to sacrifice myself from the beginning, I regret that in the end I revealed the truth. But I don’t regret it.”

“You don’t have any regrets. Yami was the one who looked after me following that incident. The ground hardens after the rain. The truth is that the challenging situation brought me closer to Yami. This wouldn’t have occurred if I had known the reality.”

“I don’t want to get involved in your affairs anymore. Tell Yami that if she touches me again, I won’t go away like a fool like before. Also tell her that you are not my weakness, so any threat is useless.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Jumi.”

Now he felt guilty.

“I didn’t know you were married.”

Each word made the place more uncomfortable.

“I hope you won’t come to visit me in the future. There is nothing in common between us.”

It was the coldest thing she had ever said in her life. But she felt relieved.

Kim Junghyun was an anchor from the past that prevented her from continuing on her path. She wanted to break the link with her past.
