chapter 28
28 – 2-13. Company S’s rivals are being easily robbed.
The premise was wrong from the beginning.
The premise is that Hyunseong will hate himself.
The ‘justice’ that I had laid down at the bottom was wrong.
He didn’t hate me.
He was not jealous of me.
He wasn’t jealous of me.
With goodwill only
In good faith
What if he moved to the extent possible for me and to protect me…?
“….No.”
That can’t be possible.
In the first place, you’ve never even come close to someone like that?
I try to deny the thoughts that come up in my mind.
But will reality really change if we deny it?
[Everything that has happened up to this point—was it done for this deputy?]
“…………”
Hyeonseong already knew.
I knew right away that an incident would occur at Sh Construction and that it would be overturned.
That’s why he came to me and said.
Please don’t go. Something bad is definitely going to happen.
But what about me at that time?
Performance was needed. I wanted grades.
Even though it was a poisoned chalice, I was prepared to eat it.
No matter how many times he asked, I was prepared to yell that I would go even if I was forced to.
‘Hyeonseong knew.’
He knows that he will not give up.
I will unconditionally participate in the construction of Sh.
That is why he participated in the construction of Sh on his behalf and received this division with his own body.
“No…If I knew everything, it would have been better if we had gone together…”
They must have been buried together, close together, holding hands.
This case is a lucky one. Dodukim, because he personally became the sacrifice, Hyeonseong was able to escape.
But what if Hyeonseong and I went to Sh together?
No matter how we manage to cover up the bribery scandal, the tail will eventually be stepped on.
Because──I would also have made the same choice as Mr. Du Kim.
‘Because there is nothing more stupid than whistleblowing…’
I was just praying that it would go well this time.
And he must have suffered the same ending as Mr. Du Kim.
This fact and this prediction were already in Hyeonseong’s mind.
“So to me….”
Please don’t go.
He jumped to his feet and gathered information and shouted at me.
It’s a poisoned chalice. No, it’s not the Holy Grail, it’s just poison and a curse.
It is a curse so strong that it will rot and rot the moment it touches it, even with a fingertip.
The advice I brought after putting all my effort into it…
“……”
Ignored.
I walked to my own death.
And Hyeonseong threw his whole body to stop me.
Knowing what I would do. Knowing what kind of feelings you have.
Even though he clearly knew how he would be insulted by the department later.
Hyeonseong sacrificed himself.
Only for me…
‘It’s strange… Something like that.’
Why?
Why?
There is no reason.
There is no reason for Hyunseong to go this far for me.
If it were me, I would have gone back saying I did my best.
As I watched him die, I probably consoled myself by saying that I had done everything I could.
Even if I had to buy him a drink later, at least I wouldn’t have thought about abandoning myself to protect him.
‘There are degrees of good people…!’
No.
There must be some other reason.
Think about it. Think about it, Italy.
As Hyeonseong sacrifices himself,
What can you gain even by throwing yourself away?
“…………………..”
No.
There is nothing.
I didn’t even take the money, as I was worried that I might have received some kickback money.
The end result was a crisis close to resignation──
“……No way.”
─The safety of me, this person named Tae-ri.
“No.”
Anyway, this is too much speculation.
Deny and deny. I tried to deny my thoughts and the delusions that came to mind.
[This assistant manager is much more capable than me.]
“Ah.”
But, is that possible?
[Please be kind to me when I go.]
“Ahh…!”
He was someone I trusted enough to open my heart to in the first place.
[…Because you are important.]
“uuut!!”
There was no way it was possible to ignore such a sweet yet cruel truth that that person was actually always there for me.
‘Mr. Hyunseong….’
He was always there for me.
He moved for me.
Always give credit to me, even in front of the manager.
Even at company dinners, we throw ourselves into difficult moments and hesitate.
He does his best to advise you when you are about to walk down a strange path.
When you finally try to mess things up, even if you are prepared to be hated, they stop you and sacrifice you for you.
“No….Ahh, wow…!”
I should have believed it.
I should have trusted him, Hyeonseong.
When everyone denied it, at least I should have believed it.
When he thought that he had betrayed him, he should have asked himself that it couldn’t have been so.
What does it mean?
I guess you have some ideas.
I should have comforted myself and uncovered the hidden truth.
Despite this, I was slapped, insulted, shamed, and belittled.
“Huh…Ah….Ahhh!!!”
I was used to being hurt.
Being abandoned was everyday life.
So I thought it was like that this time too.
I thought I was being hurt and abandoned this time too.
I assumed that would be the case.
And this is the price.
“────Ah….”
When a person approached me with good intentions, I spit on the hand that was extended with good intentions and trampled it with my foot.
“………………….”
A feeling of strength being released from the body.
I flopped down on the floor.
I stared blankly at the wall.
Dark and hazy.
The blurry vision becomes horribly distorted.
‘I am….’
I don’t deserve to be loved.
I was not qualified to receive favor or goodwill.
Then what did I really strive for?
“Better than someone like me….”
A person like Hyunseong would be much better in that position──
[This assistant manager is much more capable than me.]
“───!”
Answer.
The question he asked was answered by words he once said.
“No…You’re better than a b*tch like me──”
[─Because you are important.]
“Ugh….Ugh….Huhhh…!”
It doesn’t disappear.
The words engraved in my heart echo cursedly.
You start to hate yourself. I end up hating it.
Even though he didn’t want to hate me as much as I did, he kept trying to put me down.
‘In the first place…’
Why did you approach a b*tch like me like this in the first place?
Everyone in the company knows.
I’m a b*tch with a dirty personality. What a rough b*tch. She’s a vicious b*tch who isn’t friendly, cute, or pretty.
But why?
Why on earth did you do this to me──
[─Still, I don’t hate it. About Taeri.]
“!,…………”
Because I don’t like it.
They say he did it because he liked me.
‘….Is he an asshole?’
He’s an asshole.
Where in the world would there be a sick and bastard like Mr. Hyunseong?
A woman who tried to eat his back, a bastard who followed a woman who said she was chaste before marriage and was pregnant with someone else’s child.
He is an asshole among assholes and a hustler among hustlers.
So you’re being bullied by me again.
“……Huh.”
It’s still good.
Thanks to you, I seemed to come to my senses a little.
‘You said you did it because you liked me?’
Then it is also obvious what I will do.
What I can give.
What I can repay Hyeonseong.
“Hyunseong. Do you have a moment?”
“Yes?”
It’s already too late.
It was too late though.
“Tonight, free time.”
“……???”
I’m glad though.
I noticed it before it was too late to even touch it.
‘Thank goodness.’
Because I am a virgin.
****************************
[─In the end, we can see that this was the result of just one person’s selfishness.]
“……Tsk.”
Words that come up loudly on MeTube.
These are the same words that come up in the company community as well.
“It’s a shame.”
No, it would be closer to a waste.
I thought it would end after being buried like this, but it seems like it has come up again.
‘Because Hagigsa Hyeonseong was sincere.’
How stubborn it is to be stubborn there.
At least he wasn’t the type to take bribes.
“Still…Um, hmmm….”
Was Hyeonseong originally a man who could use his head that far?
It’s strange. Weird. To be honest, I was skeptical.
‘As if the person changed at some point…’
Atmosphere and such.
Like the way you speak.
Action or something.
It was a completely different appearance from the one he showed before the wedding.
If he had shown me like that from the beginning, he would have lived happily without me touching him.
“No, no. That’s not it, is it?”
People changed because I touched them.
At the same time, he forgot all the favors I had given him and only remembered the hardships he had, so he treated me harshly.
‘As expected, there’s nothing you can do about Hannam.’
No matter how well you try to raise it, it ends up biting off its owner’s hand.
“Ugh…But that’s still the case. You can’t hope for something big from the beginning.”
I have already gained experience once.
This time, unlike before, I was confident that I could train it better.
“I’m back~”
“Is your brother here?”
Kyungsoo’s voice.
Jiyeon just nodded as she sat on the sofa.
“If you come, please do the dishes and clean up. Oh, and take out the food waste too!”
“…I came back from work.”
“…………”
You don’t know that even if you don’t say anything, if you wash the dishes yourself, clean the house, and throw away the food waste, you will know that they will help you out.
Is Hannam’s birth inevitable?
Jiyeon exhales softly and raises her body ── What is it like?
“Haaa… I’m sorry, oppa. It’s been a little difficult to move my body these days…”
“Oh no! Jiyeon, you stay still!”
You have to speak to be understood.
Both Hyunseong and Kyungsoo are just frustrated.
I exhale softly and lean back on the sofa.
And by the way….
“You didn’t bring anything?”
“Huh? I don’t think there’s anything to say…”
“Do you really have to say it?”
“……..;;;;;”
Hyeonseong brings it without me even having to say it.
Even though I’m dull, I have to be observant.
On the other hand, Gyeongsoo’s actions are completely interrupted.
‘How stupid.’
Hannam special, his brain is empty.
How cumbersome and difficult will it be to create people like this in the future?
Dissatisfaction gradually piled up, but there was nothing I could do about it.
He is the husband chosen by my egg, so I have no choice but to endure through evil.
Jiyeon sighed silently and asked Kyungsoo again.
“Oppa, when will we have our wedding?”
“……”
Shouldn’t we do it slowly now?
