Chapter 234 – Mutual Curse
“Aaaaa!! Shit!! Damn it!”
Cha Do-yeon screamed and slammed his desk.
It was because all the things I had planned lately went back to nothing, and it was heading towards the worst situation.
“Kang Jin-wook, you bastard…”
Jinwook Kang.
The current chief prosecutor and the general commander of the ‘special team’.
Cha Do-yeon had always believed in Kang Jin-wook.
It’s not because Prosecutor General Kang Jin-wook was a benefactor who led him to this point.
In fact, the reason why this “Special team” Was able to be established was because Prosecutor General Kang Jin-wook made a suggestion to the president, and it was all thanks to his capabilities that led to the joint operation of the NIS and the police.
Of course, behind that, the interests of ‘extension of the regime’ coincided, and luckily this result came out, but anyway, Prosecutor General Kang Jin-wook provided everything he needed.
He has laid the foundation for realizing the behind-the-scenes percussion, which he thought was only a dream, into reality.
“Why…! Why the hell!”
However, he who believed that he was a benefactor betrayed himself.
He ordered that Mr. Choi be made the final winner of this war.
If nothing else, that was an order that was absolutely unacceptable.
“I thought I had almost got it… I thought I could completely eradicate the underworld… But why?”
This was not the only misfortune that had happened to him.
I thought the force that kidnapped his sister was the savior, but it wasn’t, and the savior’s force, which I thought would stand firm, was absorbed by Jung Sung-min.
‘What happened? How could the savior do it so easily… For my plan to succeed, the savior has to endure… Why the hell?’
His head was confused.
Obviously, he was caught and threatened by the savior… And he knew in advance that Lee Ha-young would cause a coup… But why didn’t he prepare anything?
The problem was not only that.
The whereabouts of her sister, whom she thought she had almost found, became unclear at some point.
In the meantime, I was able to pinpoint the location by tracking CCTV and the vehicle that was believed to have kidnapped my sister, but it was futile in the end.
It felt like everything was getting farther and farther away if I could touch it.
-Wow~
Then, the incoming call with caller limit.
Cha Do-yeon felt that it was an unusual phone call and pressed the record button.
Eventually, when she pressed the call button, to her surprise, her sister’s voice began to be heard through the receiver.
“Doyeon-ah. It’s me.”
“…Sister?”
The voice of my sister that I missed.
Excited, Cha Do-yeon paced around her room and asked how her sister was doing.
“Sister! Sister are you okay? Is she hurt anywhere? Where are you now? Could it be that she’s still being held? Are you okay?”
Cha Do-yeon pours out her condensed heart as much as she has worried and worried.
To this, Cha Ji-yeon smiled and replied.
“Don’t worry. Because I am very healthy now. I’m not being held, I’m just here because I like it.”
“…You like that place? What are you talking about? Are you being threatened?”
“No. It’s a threat I am more stable than ever.”
“…Uh, sister. Are you Jeongmin Jung? Or is it Mr. Choi? Did they touch your sister? You messed with her sister… And turned it into something weird, right? Huh?”
Originally, she knew how to scream to come save herself.
But her older sister, with whom she spoke on the phone after a long time, was speaking more calmly than ever.
“…Let’s meet and talk. I think we should talk face to face.”
Cha Do-yeon immediately took out her notebook and pen at her sister’s request.
And she asked me to call a place where she would meet.
Eventually, Cha Do-yeon, who wrote down all the places Cha Ji-yeon called, spoke.
“Then an hour later! I’ll be leaving there in an hour.”
An hour would be enough to mobilize a SWAT team operated by the government.
However, following Cha Ji-yeon’s words, Cha Do-yeon had no choice but to revise his plan.
“Huh. But if there’s any sign of the police coming, or if they come, or if you’re accompanied by even one cop, I won’t see you again. They don’t trust me and will consider you betraying me.”
My sister’s cool voice that I had never heard before.
Shocked by the unfamiliarity, Cha Do-yeon replied that he would know without even realizing it.
His eyes darkened at the thought of losing his sister, who was his everything.
“Then see you in an hour. I’ll be waiting for you.”
The phone call with Cha Ji-yeon ended with that.
Cha Do-yeon took a deep breath and looked over at the meeting place her sister had mentioned.
‘I should prepare well.’
There was a high probability that her sister was being held by Jung Sung-min.
So, Do-yeon Cha took a Taser gun, drugs, and an emergency pager provided by the National Intelligence Service.
She stepped out of her office, promising not to be taken easy like the last time.
***
When Cha Do-yeon arrived at her appointment, she saw an abandoned building.
He had arranged to meet her sister here on the third floor, a place full of even the most nefarious intentions of hers.
So Do-yeon Cha went up the stairs of the abandoned building, fiddling with the emergency pager in her pocket.
As her older sister said, she did not contact the police or the NIS, and she still had a corner to believe.
As soon as she sees her sister, she presses this emergency pager, and then she will spend as much time as possible here.
If she can somehow kill off half an hour of conversation, government special agents will come in.
Then, no matter how Mr. Choi or Jung Sung-min is, they will have no choice but to retreat.
Not even the titans of the underworld can beat government-trained agents.
– Again.
After completing such calculations, Cha Do-yeon finally went up to the third floor.
She was able to find her sister sitting in her chair at one of her tables in the middle of a large clearing.
“Sister!!”
Cha Do-yeon pressed the emergency pager in her pocket and walked to Cha Ji-yeon’s place.
If she can hold out for 30 minutes from now on, she will be able to safely escape from here with her sister.
“Whoa… Are you here?”
Anyway, that’s it, Cha Do-yeon wiped the tears from her eyes as she saw her unharmed sister.
When she thought that her sister had suffered this because of herself, her heart throbbed.
“Are you okay, sister? What happened to her?”
At Cha Do-yeon’s question, Cha Ji-yeon smiled.
She offered a chair across from her and sat down.
“Sit there first. Let’s talk.”
Cha Do-yeon hesitated at her sister’s attitude, which made her feel uncomfortable.
She, too, was sure something had happened to her sister.
“Huh. Let’s talk.”
However, Cha Do-yeon calmly sat in her chair.
You don’t know what traps might be prepared here, so it was best to talk calmly and pass the time.
“First of all… I’ve been doing really well. To the point where I wonder if there will ever be such a happy day in my life.”
Cha Ji-yeon smiles and tells her current situation.
However, Cha Do-yeon thought it was because her sister was administered a drug of a drug type.
She couldn’t believe that her sister, who had been separated from her, had had the happiest days of her life.
“Whoops. Can’t you believe it?”
“…Huh? Ah. No~ If your sister is like that, then it is like that.”
“Whoops… Even lying wrong. I can see it all in her sister’s eyes, so it’s domination~”
“…”
“But I was really happy. I mean it sincerely.”
There was no lie or deceit in her sister’s eyes.
Cha Do-yeon nodded his head with a lonely look.
“I know what you’re worried about. They must be worried that I might have become weird because I was ‘assisted’ by them.”
“…”
“I think you might be curious about it first, so I’ll tell you who it is. Hmm. I met Jung Sung-min. I was at Jung Sung-min’s studio until now. It is true that I mixed with him.”
Cha Do-yeon’s mouth widens.
She began to breathe heavily.
Facing her older sister who calmly conveyed her feelings, I felt as if her older sister was getting farther and farther away.
“But… It was never forced. It’s what I wanted voluntarily. It’s just… I just realized it. The truth I have been ignoring.”
Curiosity arose.
What is the truth that her sister has turned away from?
“Doyeon-ah. I… I’m already forty-two. Since I was raped by that son of a bitch, Mr. Choi, I’ve been locked in this darkness for 22 years… Hating men… Shunning men… Stuck in the house alone like this…”
Cha Do-yeon grabbed her throbbing breasts and looked at her older sister.
The misfortune of her sister, who had no choice but to hate men, was well known to her.
Wasn’t that why she kept away from men herself?
“By the way, Doyeon. I actually… Kept, constantly… Kept thinking of that son of a bitch? I couldn’t forget that ecstatic moment… It was painful all the time. And on the one hand, she thought of this. You’d rather have me completely. Don’t throw me away like this, you’ll have me completely.”
“…What?”
The shocking truth heard from her sister’s mouth.
Cha Do-yeon looked at her sister with her somber eyes that didn’t shine a single light on her.
I couldn’t believe a single word she said.
Did you miss that bastard’s stuff?
Are you serious?
“Okay. I was afraid of that expression on your face. That’s why I hate men more than necessary… Haha. Been doing that for 22 years. As a result, I had mistakenly thought that my hatred for men was sincere. In fact, I always missed their arms.”
My stomach rumbled.
I didn’t want to listen to her sister anymore.
Cha Do-yeon stood up and walked around him while holding his head.
“A lie… A lie… A lie…? Huh? Haha… That can’t be right? Do not lie.”
Cha Do-yeon thought while muttering.
Then, what the hell is his life that he has been running to get revenge on Mr. Choi so far?
“Sister… Sister can’t do that. Well, if that’s all her sister’s play… What the hell am I going to be… What a dog I’ve worked for her sister… I, I for her… I really…”
Cha Do-yeon muttered that and at some point stopped walking.
And she smiled brightly and made a convincing conclusion for herself.
“Ah! Jeong Seong-min! Jeong Seong-min, that son of a bitch made it, right? Right?”
Saying that, Cha Do-yeon put a hand on Cha Ji-yeon’s shoulder.
And as if he wanted to confirm that his conclusion was correct, he continued to shake Cha Ji-yeon’s shoulder and spit out the same words.
“Right? Right? Is that so? To shake me up, did that bastard do everything?”
Cha Do-yeon continued to ask such questions while shedding tears.
But in her sister’s unwavering eyes, she could only confirm that everything was true.
“Doyeon-ah. Let’s be freed from the curse that has entangled us now. I have to continue acting hating men for you who work hard for me… And you have to work even harder while seeing me like that… In this endless vicious cycle of curse.”
“…That, stop it. Say no more. Please stop…”
“Actually, I also wanted to be a happy woman. I wanted to meet a good husband, start a family, have children… And live a normal life like that.”
“That, stop… Now… Stop now…”
“It was ecstatic. The taste of a man to taste after 22 years. I don’t know why I acted like a fool to reject this and live a life of lies. A long time ago… I should have been honest with you a long time ago. Then we could have been happy without being so miserable.”
Cha Do-yeon felt that her own life was being denied by her sister’s every word.
No matter how much she was a dear sister, she wanted to sew up that mouth now.
“Doyeon-ah. The last 22 years we’ve been living, it’s been a curse. They cursed each other to make each other unhappy.”
Quarrrr.
She felt like everything she had built up was crumbling.
For the poor sister… For the sister who couldn’t love a man… The day before I passed the judicial training by studying to live and die… The day I had to live in the hell of studying without a single break… The scenery of the past, when he was fanatically obsessed with work and shoved sex offenders into black rooms, began to shatter.
“A curse… A curse…?”
A sister who says all her hard work is a curse.
An older sister who despises these results, which she barely achieved through dog-like effort while studying bloodily, as a curse.
“Fuck, curse? Curse? I mean it! Say it again! Is it all a curse?”
“…Huh.”
However, a sister who speaks her own position without her delay.
The words she uttered with confidence, without any hesitation.
“Then. Then what the hell did I do…?”
“Sorry. You too, you too… Have become victims of my curse…”
Cha Do-yeon looked at her teary-eyed sister’s face with her widened eyes.
She then took her cell phone out of her pocket and checked her time.
A rescue team will arrive here in five minutes.
‘It’s obviously crazy. That’s not my sister Jung Sung-min was brainwashed by that bastard. My sister can’t There’s no way she likes boys.’
“Doyeon-ah.”
Then, she heard her sister’s voice calling her.
Cha Do-yeon looked at Cha Ji-yeon, thinking about the remaining five minutes.
Jiyeon Cha said.
“So… Let’s do this. The culprit who made us unhappy… Revenge on Mr. Choi. That was the purpose in the first place.”
“…”
“And the back world… Let’s just leave it to Jung Sung-min. Huh? Jung Sung-min is also a victim like us. He… He needs the power of the underworld to protect the one he loves. He has to maintain that power.”
Cha Do-yeon glared at her sister with a cold gaze.
She thought, ‘It’s true that you are brainwashed by Jung Sung -min,’ and he stared at her sister who hurt her.
“Sister. Are you okay. I’ll get her sister back to her original self. Her older sister until her death. Forever. She has to live with hating men. She’s the older sister I know. She will never change I’ll be sure to treat her. Now she’s out of her sister’s mind.”
“…You.”
“I won’t see you like that. Anyway, sister, right now, she’s out of her mind.”
“You… How can you say that? To live hating men for the rest of your life? Are you saying she’s going to die old and lonely like this until she dies? Is that what you are saying to me?”
Originally, that wasn’t Cha Do-yeon’s sincerity.
She also really wanted her sister to meet her good man and spend the rest of her life happily.
However, it was something that had to happen after Mr. Choi and the behind the scenes were all blown away.
She had to find the beautiful ending she thought of and then finally find happiness.
“Uh. Forever. Forever!”
But now Cha Do-yeon was excited.
Her emotions were intensified when her sister told her that everything she had done was nothing more than a ‘curse’.
So he said something he didn’t mean to say.
“You! Even if you just told me everything! Is that what you say to me? Are you saying something to me who has rotted for 22 years because of you!”
“…What?”
“Enough! I’m forty-two! But to rot more here? To never meet a man for the rest of your life? Aren’t you happy?”
“No…Because of me… 22 years rotted? Because of me?”
“Okay. Because of you. I had to rot for 22 years because of you, because you studied far and kept encouraging me to hate men.”
“Fuck! Say it again! Is it because of me? Sister now, is that what you want to say to me? Is it because of me?”
“Do it while covering the words. What the fuck is your sister?”
“The one who needs to cover up is my sister! How! How could you do this to me!”
The feelings between the two were growing stronger.
Cha Do-yeon could not bear the truth about Cha Ji-yeon, who had been hiding it for decades, and Cha Ji-yeon could no longer live with her truth hidden.
The gap caused her two sisters to fight irrevocably.
“Fuck, I came here for no reason! If it’s my sister’s business, I’m the one who puts everything aside! Did you call me just to say these fucking things?”
“Then don’t come! Now that you’re obsessed with me, it’s too burdensome. It’s disgusting. I want to live my life too. So please stop obsessing”
“Under. Obsession? Fuck… Obsession? They fed me, put me to bed, and did everything for me. Is it an obsession? In a nutshell… Ha. Have you ever tried that your sister is suffering? She is the only heroine of the tragic story? Fuck…! How did I get to this point!”
“So turn it off. Because I don’t need you.”
Cha Do-yeon trembles at Cha Ji-yeon’s words to stop.
She said, weeping bitterly.
“I…I came here with…What kind of feeling…Get out of here? Heuuuuu…”
“I can’t hear you.”
At that time, a low-pitched voice pierced the ears of Cha Do-yeon and Cha Ji-yeon.
Soon after, Jung Sung-min emerged from the darkness and walked away.
He put his hand on Jiyeon’s shoulder and said.
“Cha Ji-yeon. I was so excited. You can’t convince Cha Do-yeon if you talk like that.”
“…Sorry.”
Jung Sung-min glanced at Cha Do-yeon, who was covered in tears.
As soon as Cha Do-yeon saw Jung Sung-min, she raised the corner of her mouth and said.
“Jeong Seong-min! This bastard! I knew you would be here.”
Cha Do-yeon glanced at her phone in her pocket again.
It’s already been 30 minutes, so the special team will be here soon.
“Kuh-kuh-kuh… Cha Do-yeon. Did you make an emergency call or something?”
But then, Jung Sung-min opens his mouth as if he understood his intentions.
When she saw Jeong Seong-min with a puzzled expression, he raised the corner of her mouth and said,
“All radio waves in this building are blocked. What you wish for will not happen.”
“…!”
“Is it too much to convince you with Cha Ji-yeon alone? Let’s move to another place and talk.”
Saying that, Jeong Seong-min passed by Cha Do-yeon and started going down her stairs.
Cha Do-yeon stared blankly at Jung Sung-min as he leisurely left this place, then turned around as he felt something stuck in the back of her neck.
There was her sister who had injected herself with an injection.
“Uh, uh…”
Cha Do-yeon, who received an anesthetic injection, collapsed.
Afterwards, when she opened her eyes, she was inside Jung Sung-min’s studio.
