(Soojin) "...What is it?"
(Sujin) "Why is this article posted!!!"
(Soojin) "How did you guys do this.."
(Ji-hoon) "You don't need to know that."
(Ji-hoon) "The police will arrive soon."
(Soojin) "......"
Quickly turning on her phone and accessing the internet, Soojin was the first to see an article about herself, and she cursed at Jihoon. Jihoon sighed briefly, as if he found Soojin pathetic, and then responded.
Soon, the police arrived and arrested Soojin and her friends and took them to the police station. Yeoju, Jihoon, Soonyoung, and Seungkwan also went to the police station to make statements.
Arriving at the police station, giving her statement, and submitting various pieces of evidence, the moment she stepped out, she heard Soo-jin's clear voice. Yeo-ju paused, considered her departure, then whispered something softly to Ji-hoon before walking towards Soo-jin.
(Soojin) "Hey, do you know who I am?? I'm the daughter of ㅇㅇ company!!!"
(Female protagonist) "Ha... Officer, can I talk to this person for a moment?"
(Soojin) "This person?? This crazy bitch!!!"
(Police Officer) "Yes, we can. If anything happens, please call me right away."
(Yeoju) "Yes. Thank you."
(Yeoju) "Shall we talk here or outside?"
(Yeoju) "Of course, you should know that talking here will be at a disadvantage."
(Soojin) "....."
(Yeoju) "There's no answer. I take it as a positive response."
(Yeoju) "Let's go out."
Sujin, who surprisingly followed the female lead out, was standing there with an annoyed expression on her face.
(Soojin) "If you call someone, say something."
(Yeoju) "I wonder how that article came about?"
(Yeoju) "I was wondering about that earlier..."
Sujin's expression turned murderous in an instant after hearing the female lead's words.
In contrast, the female protagonist's expression seemed remarkably relaxed. The silence continued for a while, as Soojin remained silent. Finally, Soojin, who had been silent for a while, spoke.
(Soojin) "Okay, let's find out how you did it."
(Yeoju) "Okay, don't be too shocked when you hear that."
(Yeoju) "Um... First of all, I was planning to ask Sunyoung's mother, who is a reporter, to do it for me."
(Yeoju) "But since your company said they won't block articles anymore, I was able to publish the article easily."
(Soojin) "......."
(Yeoju) "In short, your company has given up on you."
(Soojin) "That can't be... Why would my dad abandon me..."
(Soojin) "I'm the only successor... No..."
(Yeoju) "If you don't believe me, just contact me."
Sujin, who had been mumbling something incomprehensible, started calling her father and butler at the female protagonist's request to check.
The butler's number showed as a nonexistent number, and after a while, Soo-jin's father answered the phone. He told Soo-jin that he could no longer protect her and that he was looking for someone else to take over the company. He only said a few words and hung up. Suddenly, Soo-jin, devoid of any connections or money, stumbled for a moment, as if in shock. But soon, she came to her senses and, as if she had given up on everything, trudged into the police station with feeble steps.
Soojin, who had previously refused to testify, began to give her statement in a trembling voice. Jihoon, Yeoju, Soonyoung, and Seungkwan, seeing Soojin's testimony, smiled faintly and left the police station.
On an evening when the moon shyly peeked out, Ji-hoon and Yeo-ju were walking side by side down a tree-lined street, holding hands tightly.
(Ji-hoon) "Hey, are you okay? It seems a bit complicated."
"Oh... it's okay"
"The ripple effect was bigger than I thought... I think it's all coming back to haunt him for what he did."
(Ji-hoon) "Yeah, I think so too. I'm glad things worked out."
At Ji-hoon's words, Yeo-ju smiled with tacit agreement.
"Brother."
(Ji-hoon) "Huh?
"I'll be really, really good to you, oppa. So that all the wounds you received from that person can be healed."
(Ji-hoon) "...Thank you, Yeoju."
(Jihoon) "And I love you so much."
"Me too, oppa"
The two stopped for a moment, looked into each other's eyes, and smiled.
The moonlight shining on the two standing side by side was brighter than ever.
Author's note.
I've been so busy lately, so I've been writing little by little, and I finally finished it today! At first, I tried to stick to one post per day, but as time went on, I got busier and busier, so I unintentionally slowed down the posting frequency. I'm so sorry about that. ㅠㅠ This is the first work of mine to be recommended as a general fanfic, so I'm sad to let it go. I love it that much.
As we conclude the series, which has been running for approximately four months, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those who have loved this work.
Next up, I plan to bring you a Q&A as planned!
If you have any questions for me, please leave a comment in the Q&A notice♡
This has been the Houcombi writer so far.
thank you
