Chapter 245 – Retribution (7)
“Come out. A special rest day was given.”
Rest day?
“Because it’s the owner’s birthday, Lee Hee-yeon gave instructions to set you free as much as today.”
Master.
The person Heeyeon calls her master.
My son Jung Sung-min.
My son Sungmin.
“Come out.”
Lee Shin-ah followed the man in the lab coat and finally came out.
After being locked up for 3 months, he finally came out.
“Ahhhhh”
Lee Shin-ah came out and burst into tears.
She watched the setting sun with her own eyes and enjoyed the beauty of Mother Nature.
She heard the grass swaying in the wind, the scent of perfumed flowers, and the song of the leaves blowing in the wind.
“Aaaaa…”
A landscape full of colors to enjoy after a long time.
As a result, Lee Shin-ah’s heart, which had been devastated by achromatic colors, began to be filled with colors.
She began to realize what life was all over again.
“You’re losing money.”
It was then that he heard Lee Hee-yeon’s cool voice.
Turning to her side, Lee Hee-yeon was looking at herself with her cold eyes.
She said.
“Don’t hold out hope. Because your condition is so serious, I’m only taking one day off. Today is also the master’s birthday.”
“…”
“Just for today, stay in the annex. It’s a realization of the owner’s old house, so please recover there. I have to go back to ‘that room’ tomorrow.”
After Lee Hee-yeon said that, she turned around and went in the opposite direction.
Eventually, Lee Shin-ah was guided by Lee Hee-yeon’s subordinates and moved to the ‘outbuilding’.
“…”
Outbuilding.
Lee Sin-ah, who entered the place, saw the nostalgic scenery she felt after a long time.
It was the house where a harmonious family lived, who always welcomed her warmly.
“Huh…Huh…Huh…Ahh…Ah…”
Lee Shin-ah fell to the floor.
She frantically ran her hand across the floor of this house she longed for, feeling its energy.
“Aaaaa…”
She got up and wandered around her house.
She sobbed endlessly, and with tears in her eyes she wandered all over the house.
“Aaaaa…”
Kitchen.
She used to cook warm dishes for her family, gather around her table and talk about what happened that day. This is the place of memories.
She saw the welcome of her family, who sat at her table and ate together.
Lee Shin-ah sobbed and gazed at the scenery endlessly.
“Uhhhhh…”
It wasn’t just the kitchen.
A bedroom full of memories with her husband.
The master bedroom with the wedding photos of the happy day.
Every day, Lee Shin-a hugged her husband’s pillow, where he slept hungry.
She felt it and smelled it, then she hugged it and cried.
She went to her daughter’s room with her pillow intact.
“Seong-ah… Seong-ah… Seo, Seong-ah… Seong-ah…”
She left because she was an idol, but she left only those items in the room.
A room of memories with the smell of her daughter.
Lee Shin-ah looked around with her tearful eyes at everything from her daughter’s favorite teddy bear to Baek Ha-yoon’s bromide and album CD.
After sobbing in her daughter’s room for a long time, Lee Shin-ah finally stopped by Jeong Seong-min’s room holding her husband’s pillow.
“Haaaaa”
As soon as he opened his son’s room, what caught his eye was the recipe notebook he was researching.
Lee Shin-ah looked at the note on the desk and sat down on the floor.
It was because she suddenly remembered the sight of Jeong Seong-min cooking for her, saying that he had studied her recipe for her.
-Mom. I researched this time. Please taste it.
– I catch a cold because I exercise too much. Drink it because it’s good for colds.
– Oh, really, don’t tell me. Is that what daddy said? I’m making a cake
He was a son who always expressed his feelings with delicious dishes when he was sick, when he celebrated his birthday, or when he celebrated any anniversary.
My son, who was stronger than anyone else and brighter than anyone else.
“Huhhhhh Seongminah…Hhhhh Seongminah. I, I really… I…”
Why.
Why the hell
Why the hell did that happen?
Why do I leave this family…
Leaving my family who was my life and everything.
“Bird, birthday… Birthday…”
It was obviously Lee Hee-yeon.
Today is my son’s birthday.
“Me, me… Me too.”
Do you want to be forgiven?
There was no such thing anymore.
I have come to the painful realization that I have committed something that has never been forgiven, and it is something that should not be forgiven.
Lee Shin-ah just wanted to do something.
– Jump!
When I opened the refrigerator door, fortunately there were ingredients.
Come to think of it, this house had signs of being constantly maintained.
It was a house with traces of people everywhere.
– Tok. Tok. Tok. Tok. Tok.
However, that was not what was important to Lee Shin-ah.
Lee Shin-ah focused on cooking for his son’s birthday.
She diced her leeks and her onions and trimmed her oyster mushrooms.
Then she poured water into the pot and drained it again.
After removing the anchovies and kelp, Lee Shin-ah added soybean paste and a small amount of gochujang and ssamjang.
– Bubble bubble bubble…
Water starting to break.
Lee Shin-a added her onion and green onion and chopped her tofu into pieces.
Lastly, she lightly cooked the chadolbaegi with another frying pan, then she placed them on the boiling soybean paste.
Now, with just a little bit of pepper, the soybean paste stew that her son loved so much is complete.
-Mom’s soybean paste stew is always delicious. To be honest, I can’t beat soybean paste.
Something my son once said.
He says the soybean paste stew he made is the best.
It’s really good.
Lee Shin-a put the lid on the soybean paste stew and grabbed her handle before she went out.
Hurry up and pass this on to her son.
“Go in. Going out is prohibited.”
But she was stopped by the guards guarding the entrance.
Lee Shin-ah ejaculates pleadingly and she said she should pass this on to her son.
“…Ha. Let’s contact Lee Hee-yeon.”
In the end, the bodyguard contacted Lee Hee-yeon at Lee Shin-ah’s plea.
After a while he finished talking to her.
“Follow me. I’m just going to deliver that.”
Lee Shin-a gulped down her saliva and followed after the bodyguard.
Following the bodyguard, she moved to the main building where Jeong Seong-min lives.
Even at first glance, it was a luxurious penthouse that seemed like it would cost hundreds of billions of won.
“Wait. I need permission to enter.”
The bodyguard pressed the in-ear plug into his ear to talk to someone.
Eventually, when his permission was granted, he escorted Shin-Ah inside.
“Follow me.”
Lee Shin-ah passes through the colorful corridors.
Eventually, she was finally able to reach the place where Jeong Seong-min was.
He was sitting at the table with Jung Hyeon-jae and Jung Sung-ah, talking.
A strange woman was sitting next to Jung Hyun-jae.
Haha. You too Leave the food to Seongmin.”
“Whew. Still, I have to take care of my son’s birthday. If you prepare a birthday prize yourself, what the hell is that?”
“Puhahaha. That’s right.”
Jung Hyun-jae and a strange woman are talking harmoniously.
But the woman was exactly like her old self.
Clearly, if you look closely, she is a different person, but her tone and behavior are exactly like him.
“Ah…”
It feels like she has been robbed of where she belongs.
At that time, the bodyguard who had brought him approached Jung Sung-min and whispered something in his ear.
Then, Jung Sung-min’s gaze turned to himself holding the soybean paste stew.
“Wait for a sec.”
Jeong Seong-min who raises his body.
However, Jung Sung-ah and Jung Hyun-jae did not see themselves in the square.
Because of this, even when Jung Sung-min got up, they were busy talking among themselves.
“What?”
Soon after, his son approached him and said with a cold expression.
Lee Shin-ah gently held out the carefully made soybean paste stew.
“This, this… It’s your birthday…”
Jeong Seong-min looks at the soybean paste stew with steam rising.
He picked it up and opened a nearby door.
However, the place where the door was opened was not the room, but the bathroom.
He flushed the soybean paste stew down the toilet and handed the empty pot to Lee Shin-ah.
“I don’t need it, so I’ll eat you.”
“…”
Lee Shin-ah’s eyes completely lost their light.
Contrary to his own miserable situation, the sound of harmonious laughter could be heard from behind Jung Sung-min.
Knowing this, she reached out her hand to where she should have been if she hadn’t committed a sin.
However, Jeong Seong-min only looked at himself like a bug.
“What are you doing?”
“…”
Lee Shin-ah looked at Jung Sung-min.
There was no longer the same warmth or love in his eyes as before.
He was filled with endless hatred and contempt for himself.
“…I’m sorry.”
Lee Shin-ah realized.
Now she has become a complete stranger.
“Take him.”
Saying that, Jung Sung-min turned his back and walked towards his family.
Lee Shin-ah was led back by the bodyguard with a dazed face.
Arriving home, she sat down on the sofa with her pot still warm.
She looked up into the void with her empty eyes.
“…”
-Sue.
She got up
She then took paper and pen from the room and began to write down her last words.
Now there is not a single sentence appealing for leniency, only sentences full of regret and apology for the past.
-Sureung.
Shina Lee took out her cleaver from her kitchen.
Then he aimed at his neck and closed her eyes.
-Hoo-wook!
There is no longer any meaning left to continue this life.
She literally pulled her arm in and stabbed her own throat.
