Weekly Chapter 4/4

A small trickle of wine spilled from the corner of her lips. She began to cry.

Every individual experienced their unique pain. If he couldn’t have what he wanted like Song Hayoung, would he kill everyone? Or would he do the same as Jung Yoongyo, would he eliminate anyone who could harm the person he wanted to protect?

“It’s my last will.”

Song Hayoung coughed up blood.

“This is less tragic.”

Song Hayoung couldn’t do the same thing Choi Jumi did with Kim Junghyun, she couldn’t bear all the burden alone while the other person was happy.

Even in death, the woman who longed for Jung Yoongyo held her chest tightly.

“What do we do? She can’t die.”

The woman was dying. Detecting President Kwon’s emotions solely from his expression proved to be an insurmountable task. But she could guess because his lips trembled.

“I promised.”

President Kwon faced the destroyed reality with his own eyes.

“My God!”

President Kwon’s subordinates arrived late. Song Hayoung was on the floor vomiting blood. Jung Yoongyo was near the incident. It was anyone’s guess that Yoongyo had poisoned the President’s wife. Hyunsik, whose face was even paler than President Kwon’s, pulled out a knife.

“…Yoongyo.”

President Kwon’s eyes turned red. He was deeply disturbed. Perhaps he didn’t think the situation would end this way. But it was President Kwon’s choice. He could not dismiss Song Hayoung even though he knew the truth. He even pretended that he didn’t know that she had sent someone to kill Jung Yoongyo.

“What do you plan to do this time?”

“…Yoongyo.”

“The situation is too serious to remain silent.”

He had kept silent when Song Hayoung tried to kill him.

“Do it.”

Yoongyo walked towards Hyunsik who was holding the knife.

“What are you doing!”

Hyunsik trembled. Yoongyo didn’t understand why.

“Didn’t Song Hayoung want to kill me every time she saw me?”

“Jung Yoongyo.”

Hyunsik pledged his lifelong loyalty to the President. Yoongyo stared impassively at President Kwon’s fingers, which had one cut off.

“I cannot answer.”

The President frowned. His lips slightly trembled.

Yoongyo held Hyunsik’s hand, which held the knife. Hyunsik was startled. Yoongyo was familiar with Hyunsik, who had a close relationship with President Kwon. Although he had courage, his naiveté would not allow him to do anything he considered right.

“What are you doing…?”

Yoongyo pulled the wrist he had grabbed towards himself. As his skin tore, blood flowed from his abdomen to his palms.

He pulled the dagger out of his abdomen.

Soon several footsteps were heard. Cheolju grabbed Yoongyo’s bloody abdomen.
