Chapter 591 – Old Relationship (10)
What should I say?
What else should I ask?
What perspective should we look at?
She couldn’t know.
I could hardly organize my thoughts.
However, the fact that she hastily asked to meet him is proof that she is confused.
“So.”
The person sitting on the sofa across from me opens his mouth in a very relaxed manner.
“Why did you ask to see me?”
Things that were considered insignificant, but internally irritating, begin to look different.
Her eyes sparkled with interest, as if she was curious about what she would say.
Slightly raised corners of the mouth that look arrogant.
Lastly, even the small habit of tapping my knee with my index finger.
You can’t reach the level of simply liking someone and following them to become that person.
Behaviors and habits that are literally as natural as breathing.
‘It’s all the same.’
It was exactly like my husband, Son Si-woo.
If only the face and voice were covered, it would be confusing to tell whether he was my husband or not.
He vehemently denied it.
No, he said there was only one person he loved.
I want to believe.
However, the person in front of her keeps putting that trust in jeopardy.
What on earth do you mean?
If it’s not an illegitimate child, what can explain the appearance that looks exactly like my husband?
Feeling a headache from the whirlwind of all her thoughts, she frowned slightly and opened her mouth.
“… “There is something I really want to ask.”
Kim Do-jin tilts his head at her words.
‘I just want to ask.’
No matter how much I thought about it, it was difficult to guess what questions would be asked.
‘If you look at their expressions, it’s clear that something is going on…’
Just as Han Ju-hee knew all of his small habits, he also knew Han Ju-hee’s big and small habits better than anyone else.
For example, those squinting eyes.
When difficult events unfolded one after another, she suffered from frequent headaches.
From that, it was clear that something had happened to her.
It’s also at a level that is difficult to handle.
‘What is that?’
It would be nice if there was a problem with the hexagram.
He answered patronizingly, harboring a secret expectation.
“What are you curious about?”
“That…, Over there.”
Han Joo-hee hesitates, unable to speak properly.
It was difficult to open my mouth easily.
Isn’t it impossible to ask his face, ‘You are my husband’s illegitimate child, right?’
Even if he was an illegitimate child, you couldn’t blame him.
Because no child in this world was born by choosing their parents.
So she took her luck carefully.
“You… “Have you ever met my husband?”
What is it?
The intention of this question is.
She nods her head carefully and answers.
“… “You know, right?”
It would be dangerous to face each other, but since the industry is so small, we have met before.
Although we had a hard time pretending that we were seeing each other for the first time, looking at each other with unexpected eyes.
She shook her head, understanding what he meant.
“No, I’m not talking about public matters, I’m just asking if you’ve ever met in private.”
“…”
Kim Do-jin closes his mouth for a moment.
He thought.
What is the intention of asking that question?
That’s why I’m curious about my meeting with him.
‘Did you notice something?’
Maybe he’s starting to dig into the secret between himself and Son Si-woo.
‘If that’s the case, how did you find out about it? .’
Actually, at first, I thought the fake that stole my body would catch on quickly.
Unlike this body that has no connection, Son Si-woo’s body has a family that lives with it.
But unexpectedly, he wasn’t caught.
It would have been effective to live in hiding as much as possible and be careful of all actions with plans such as buying time through a sabbatical.
No matter how stupid he was, he probably knew that if he was discovered to be a fake, it would never lead to a good ending.
So I was relieved.
At this rate, I don’t think anything special will happen until I tell the story directly.
However, the fact that she suddenly comes and asks means that she sensed something from herself or Son Si-woo.
Where on earth did you notice it and to what extent?
Watching her to the fullest, she carefully opens her mouth.
“Well.”
I asked her as if nothing had happened.
“Did you really ask to see me because you were curious about that?”
Then she answered immediately.
“Yes that’s right. “Please answer me because that’s the only reason I called.”
“…”
Kim Do-jin is taken aback by the explicit answer.
It was such an unexpected reaction.
This is especially true because she knows that she is a woman who does not reveal her true feelings when talking to others.
With this, one thing became clear.
The fact that in some way she is doubting herself and her Son Si-woo.
Also, she is trying her best to dig it out.
If so, this was both a crisis and an opportunity.
I can get something equivalent from her in return for her information.
It hides the sense of crisis and puts on the face of a fighter looking for an opportunity.
“Seup… “It’s difficult to tell.”
Her face hardens.
“… “Why?”
“No, whatever.”
Calming moxibustion.
After giving her mind enough time to imagine, she continues speaking again.
“If it is a private meeting, it is a very personal area, but there is no reason why I have to reveal my personal story to Hunter Han Joo-hee.”
Isn’t it?
Han Joo-hee frowns at Kim Do-jin’s answer.
It was because I understood exactly what he was trying to say.
‘I guess they’re asking for something in return.’
It was a mistake.
I was so desperate that I forgot the very basic act of hiding my true feelings.
In other words, in order to get what you want, you have to give up and go in.
She sighed softly and asked him.
“… “What do you want?”
“There are a lot of things I want.”
There are many things I want to achieve.
However, you have to evaluate it before that.
How highly she values my information.
How far can we achieve with that?
“Chamberlain… “Something like information about hexagrams.”
Her face hardens quickly.
“I don’t have much information about that either.”
“Swimming… “You joined hands with an organization you don’t know much about?”
An answer that does not fit her thorough temperament at all.
She answered without wavering.
“So I held her hand.”
“… ?”
“I couldn’t figure it out even if I tried my best.”
I tried to catch her tail somehow, but I failed every time.
All she holds on to are the few hairs left in their wake.
I felt refreshed by their generosity, and I started talking.
And I realized that their ideals were not much different from what I hoped for.
“If there’s one thing I want to tell you.”
The two people’s eyes collide in the air.
“Give up the confrontation now. Because they hide a greater power than you think.”
It was sincere.
Sincere advice that does not contain any provocation or ridicule.
But she forgot for a moment.
“Aha… “Really?”
The man in front of me looks very similar to Son Si-woo, and that too, to Son Si-woo in his younger days.
In his prime, he was a tree frog who had a fit every time he heard the word impossible.
“I’m looking forward to it more and more.”
It was only when she saw him licking his dry lips and making an excited expression that she realized this too late.
Realizing that she couldn’t convince him with her words, she shook her head and said,
“Anyway…, It is difficult to give you a satisfactory answer regarding them.”
It didn’t seem like a lie.
As a result, Kim Do-jin fell into trouble again.
So what should she pay for?
Then she suddenly remembered
There is one essential question that I have been holding deep in my heart.
“Their goal was to turn the world upside down.”
“That’s right.”
They believe that the awakened are beings chosen by God.
A special being chosen by God and given special abilities that humans cannot dare possess.
Some say it should be called a new human race, while others call it a superhuman.
Although each name is different, the meaning is clear.
A being that is distinct from existing humans.
So they are very dissatisfied with the current society.
Why do they have to live like ordinary people?
Why do ordinary people still lead most countries?
Don’t they deserve to have the sky reign over their heads?
So the hexagram is trying to turn the world upside down.
To bring ordinary people down and make themselves heaven.
Awakened and humans.
Furthermore, a new class society is thoroughly divided into hunters with outstanding fighting skills, awakened people with less combat skills, and finally, ordinary humans, and grants differential authority accordingly.
What they wanted was none other than that kind of world.
And it means that Han Ju-hee, who agreed with their wishes, also harbors similar ideals.
No matter how much Kim Do-jin thought about it, he couldn’t understand her.
She is already a person in the ruling class of this society.
You can get anything you want, and you can achieve anything you wish.
Still, what is lacking?
“You already have everything, so what do you lack that makes you join hands with Hexagram and turn the world upside down?”
“That…”
Before she can answer, Kim Do-jin continues her words.
“Don’t give vague answers like last time, saying it’s to have something you can’t have now, because it’s worse than listening.”
“…”
He puts more pressure on her as her complexion becomes pale.
“Tell me the specific reason.”
Why did I have to join hands with them?
I wonder if that has something to do with her being so estranged from her beloved husband.
Han Joo-hee closes her eyes tightly as the sharp question pierces her heart.
After finishing her long weighing, she opened her mouth with difficulty.
“… It’s because of my family.”
When Kim Do-jin heard this, his face was distorted miserably.
