Chapter 125 – Kim Ji-Soo vs Jeong Jae-Hyeon (2)
“From where to where can I talk?”
“From start to finish, everything.”
He shrugs his shoulders as if he is talking about something obvious.
“Who isn’t listening?”
“Never. No one can hear it but you and me.”
That is until this timer, pointing to 80 minutes in front of my eyes, stops.
Of course she wouldn’t know.
“I don’t know where to start talking. Let’s talk about your parents first.”
It seems that a fairly serious story is about to begin, so I decided to focus on it.
“Her grandfather hated my mother. She was just a girl from a normal family, and her father was already the heir that her grandfather had foreseen at that time.”
I already knew that no matter how free the country was and no matter how much status was lost in love, it existed in secret.
It is normal for chaebol to meet chaebols, and meeting a chaebol and ordinary people is literally as small as picking stars in the sky.
“Of course you objected. But I was already in her mother’s belly, and her father loved her mother and me very much. So she ran away from her grandfather.”
It is a common story that can be found anywhere.
“And she said that she ran away and gave birth to me, and that the two of them managed to earn enough money to raise me for a few years. Without properly registering their marriage or birth.”
It would have been natural since he was a fugitive.
As soon as I was working on the remaining paperwork, I would find out where I was, and the old man I had barely shied away from would have clung to me.
“I was so happy, but in the end I got caught. Is our country a bit narrow?”
“Hmm. It hasn’t taken me in years, but it’s a bit strange that it suddenly came.”
If I had decided to find the truth, I would have found it from the moment the wealthy nobleman ran away.
I wouldn’t have given you the time or space to enjoy such happiness.
“I knew Daddy would be having a hard time.”
A person who has lived doing everything he wanted to do as a conglomerate since childhood is suddenly ordinary.
No, experience life below that.
It certainly wouldn’t have been easy.
“As expected, it was difficult, and Dad eventually contacted his grandfather.”
Just hearing the story, I don’t think she would ever accept her granddaughter.
It’s to the point where I think that the fact that I care so much is actually wrong information.
It’s no different than blocking your son’s path, but you say you love him that much?
I feel like it would be impossible unless something happened.
Is this the wrong target?
“Grandpa allowed her mom and dad to meet. However, not as the main wife, but as a concubine.”
“Eh? Concubine? The concubine I think?”
“Huh. But if it’s okay, I’d say live.”
Wow, that’s exciting.
Isn’t this a story worth listening to while chewing on popcorn?
It almost feels like I’m listening to the script of one of the last dramas in real time.
“My mother said it was nonsense and she refused, but it seems her father persuaded her. Did she want to have both wealth and women, or what? To be honest, I still don’t know.”
“Hmm..”
“Anyway, when she said she didn’t like her mother, the next tool she brought to me was me. Is it okay if I don’t see her for the rest of my life?”
Wow, doing business with kids.
This guy really isn’t normal.
“No, but she said she hated it so why did she even use you to catch her?”
If you say you don’t like it, don’t you just let it go coolly?
I don’t think there’s any reason to catch it, but I don’t understand why they caught it.
“Well, why? Maybe he didn’t like the idea of leaking out. Maybe he wanted to hide his blemishes. To this day, my mother cannot go out comfortably and lives confined to her house.”
Huh.
The more you listen to it, the more it can’t be a story that gets worse than the dead end.
“My birth registration has been delayed a little longer. Her grandfather never even cared about me in the first place.”
No, she says she loves her granddaughter so much now?
It also seems to be a nonsensical story.
Yeah, that’s what rumors are all about.
“But I was so attached to the person I disliked and acted cute and did a lot of lovely things.”
Oh, fun again?
“Even if you cut it off, it gets up and clings to it like a ttogi. Learn useless rhythms and dance.”
“Were you quick to notice?”
“Maybe it was. I can only survive if I stick to this person. It could have been.”
I feel the expression on the woman’s face getting more and more empty as she continues to talk.
“Anyway, the accumulated emotions slowly piled up like that and grew like a snowball, and at some point my grandfather said he loved me so much.”
A face that doesn’t look happy at all.
It is pitiful to see the emptiness in the empty eyes that do not even have hatred.
“It seems that the birth registration is under someone else.”
“They said it would be a weakness. It would be your weakness if someone found out that you had someone you love so much.”
Accurate.
Because now I’ve been holding onto it like this as a weakness.
“So from then on, I think he came to see me once or twice a month. When I was younger, I only waited for that day, and it was so nice to get what I wanted every day.”
“I did?”
“I found out about her mother. My mother I can’t even remember her face.”
“No, then your mother doesn’t do anything? This is different It’s the same that I can’t see you either way.”
It’s full of things that I can’t understand at all.
Of course, even if I experienced it myself, I wouldn’t even remember it.
It’s a story I heard from someone, so there may be errors.
I wonder if this is too much to do.
“I do not know either. Even if I tried to find out about her mother, the answer always came back the same. Your mom is doing fine, she’s fine, don’t worry.”
I feel like I ate a million sweet potatoes.
That’s common
No, not even water.
“From a certain point on, that’s why I’m refusing to meet you. I soon realized that it was the other side that was impatient.”
A child grows up and becomes an adult.
She wouldn’t have been able to hold her in her world forever.
But from the moment she fell in love, that human would have loved her child endlessly.
On the contrary, not being able to meet often made me miss it more, and it might have inflated my feelings.
“Anyway, that’s why you said there was no relationship?”
“Well, to be honest, I don’t want to have a relationship.”
It’s an unexpected story.
You won’t be able to hear these detailed circumstances anywhere other than yourself.
“But how can I believe that this is true?”
The important thing is this.
Judgment as to whether I was wasting my time or not.
“There’s no evidence, so if you don’t believe me, I can’t help it, it’s me.”
That brazen shrug.
The emptiness from earlier is nowhere to be seen.
Unless you’re a top-notch actor, it’s going to be difficult to portray that level of emptiness.
You can’t just trust feelings and trust me.
It is a matter of revenge on this side.
“Show me the evidence to believe anything. Isn’t that how I will decide how to use you?”
He asks like an interrogation, but he still has a calm expression on his face.
“Well. Did you even look at your phone? I started contacting my mother not too long ago.”
It’s not that I don’t have doubts, but I decided to check the parts that I could confirm and handed over my phone.
“Password.”
“0527.”
Open your phone and access the messenger app.
An app with only one person, the mother.
If you go in and scan the conversation, you can’t help but see the story of a mother and daughter who are really desperate.
I guess I’ll have to ask Mihee to investigate further.
“For now, I will believe you. But who did you hear about this from?”
I don’t think it’s something the father did.
But it doesn’t seem like it’s a story that foster mothers and adoptive fathers can tell you now.
“Choi Seo-joon.”
“Choi Seo-joon? Who is that?”
“The closest attendant to my grandfather.”
Uh? Mr. Attendant?
I tilt my head at the familiar name.
“Is it him? It’s a bit big and tall.”
“Right, that person. If you’ve met Grandpa a few times, he’s the one you see right away.”
No, why is that person?
You seemed completely faithful.
It’s almost like it’s just a dog.
“I don’t even know why I told you. He said he knew because he handled it himself.”
He didn’t look that old.
She took care of that, and the evidence at the time that this woman is now my age is a story that was at least 20 years ago.
Then, how old is the attendant?
“Heh, heh. He looked young.”
“I heard that he worked with his grandfather since he was a teenager. Aren’t you that old?”
“But why are you always giving such good answers?”
It can’t be a strange thing from before.
First time met Even to the kidnapper who kidnapped him.
It means being able to talk about your past so calmly.
“Rather, there are things that come out more soberly because they are strangers. There are some things that scare me.”
Frightened bitch.
It can’t be that it’s a very haughty and arrogant attitude.
“Ah, when I’m scared, I’m the type of person who tries to show off a bit more. I understand.”
Well, thank you for this one.
“Anyway, it’s fun. If this is really true, you can use me too.”
“What?”
“You don’t want to take revenge on that grandfather either. Because he’s the one who ruined your mother’s life.”
“Honestly, I’ve never thought of such a grand idea.”
“Because there would be no way.”
Just because you are in a position where you can survive even if you don’t act cute anymore doesn’t mean you can rush into a fight.
The counterhorse that can be countered, and the method.
Because nothing would have existed.
But now it’s different.
I am for that person.
No, because it can be the perfect opponent for any human in the world.
“Are you confident? Do you think you can win?”
“Of course. If it was a fight I couldn’t win, I wouldn’t have started it in the first place.”
It’s natural.
That time that flows equally to everyone.
I’m the one who controls time.
Who the hell can beat me like that?
Honestly, unless even Cronus suddenly pops out right now.
I don’t think there is
“Assuming, of course, that your story is true.”
What if, after further investigation, it turned out to be untrue and made up?
Well, it’s nothing special, just eat it right away.
It’s honestly not too bad either.
I’m a bit curious about what chaebol tastes like.
Although it feels like a chaebol.
“But then you didn’t have a travel ticket after all?”
“Was it possible?”
It’s kind of funny to even talk about it now.
“Sorry. I was really looking forward to going on a trip with my friends.”
“Well, after this is over, can’t I take the old man’s money and go?”
“I am not interested in the money. And what do you do if you destroy that person in the first place? There is also a human being called a father. There are countless people like that.”
But.
Reality is not a game where everyone surrenders and regains peace just because one final boss is defeated.
“I’d rather stick with it more tenaciously.”
“Then. It will really jingle.”
Seeing that shuddering look, I end up laughing.
