"Who's there?"
"......."
"Who are you?"
Could it be that he'd been caught? It seemed the chairman had sensed Jeongguk's presence, which he'd been secretly eavesdropping on from the emergency stairs. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he'd be caught. So, let's hurry and head for the door...
"...Former Secretary?"
Got caught.
Jungkook headed toward the emergency exit without making a sound. The chairman, standing at the corner of the stairs, likely couldn't clearly see Jungkook due to his limited field of vision.
Squeak, bang.
What did I just hear? Someone should have died.
So, is it really true that the accident was not a coincidence?
Jungkook returned to his hospital room, deep in thought.
"ha....."
An idea occurred to me.
The chairman must have tried to kill Jeong-guk.
Yeo-ju must marry Seok-jin. However, in the process, the chairman must have thought that Jeong-guk was interfering with their relationship and tried to get rid of him.
Of course, as seen in dramas, you might think that it's over if you just put money in their mouths and send them away, but what if they don't receive the money?
The chairman seemed to think that if he told Yeoju all of this without receiving any money, Yeoju would run away with Jeongguk.
Also, the chairman must have chosen this method because he knows very well the character of the female lead who would never marry for political reasons even if it meant dying, and the political situation where there was no way he would just let her go.
dripping.
"Who... Chairman?"
"Yes, Secretary Jeon. Have you talked to Yeoju?"
"...Yes, I just got back from talking."
"...I see. Secretary Jeon is being discharged tomorrow?"
"Yes. I'll go back to work right after I'm discharged from the hospital and catch up on work..."
"Let's have Yeoju go through the discharge process together tomorrow."
"yes?"
"...We'll be discharged together, so stay by her side and help her remember."
"..Yes, I understand."
What the heck? What on earth is this plot? At first glance, it seems like the hospital room was just there to ask for help for Yeo-ju, but it was clear that the chairman had come to confirm that the person on the emergency stairs earlier was not Jeong-guk.
And then he told me to take good care of the female lead. This clearly showed that the chairman was planning something else.
Or is he hiding something that Jungkook shouldn't know?

A day passed, and the day of discharge arrived. Yeo-ju followed Jeong-guk in silence, and Jeong-guk, in turn, quietly went through the discharge procedures.
"Director."
"yes?"
"Do you really not remember anything? You don't even know who I am?"
"..."
".. The eyes, the actions, everything is the same, but I just can't remember, and it's just so, so..."
"Phew."
"Look at this, even the smile is the same,"
"Jungkook."
"...yes?"
"This is why I can't fool you."
Yeoju looked at Jeongguk and smiled. "What? Did his memory return?" you might think, but...
"Are you kidding me?"
"What are you talking about? There's no way I could forget you in the first place. What if it was a lie?"
Jeongguk shed tears at the female lead's words. The female lead made a flustered expression, but quickly smiled as if it was something that always happened and comforted Jeongguk. At the female lead's words, "Baby, baby, okay?", Jeongguk's tears grew even more.It was a political situation that was pouring out.
"It's really bad.."
"Sorry, sorry."
Jungkook seemed to be glaring at Yeoju, but soon smiled bashfully and said that he missed her. Yeoju put Jungkook in the car with a faint motherly smile.
""I'll drive today."
"Yes? But,"
"Your arm hurts. I'll be driving for the time being, so just know that."
"Oh, and from now on, I won't remember anything, Jungkook."
"...Huh?"
"I'm going to leave home. And I'm not going to get married."
"So now... you're going to act? For me too?"
"Yes, Jeongguk. So, could you please take out the black box chip?"
"..... It's low."
"Where should I go?"
"....I'll write down the address. Follow this."

While I was away from fanfics for a while, the number of views has increased significantly...?
Even if I upload it now, it won't go up that much, but I'll still release the episodes I wrote down🫶
When I have time, I will upload other works often.
thank you
