Don't trust me.
A precious person
After the call with the author, I was helpless. I couldn't even put my phone down, just blankly repeating the author's words to myself.
I slept to avoid this situation.
This time, I had another dream. Unlike last time, I was alone. There was no child or adults present, just me staring out the window, crying. But the sight was so familiar that even after I woke up, tears welled up in my eyes.
He looked so miserable and lonely.
I checked the time and realized it was time to go out. I hurriedly finished getting ready and headed out.
I took a waiting car and went to work.
육성재
The chairman said he would stop by today...
민여주
An order? Or... a request? Which would you say?
육성재
It is an order.
민여주
I'm so fucking tired. I'm fucking tired. That guy always gives orders, right? If someone saw me, they'd think I wasn't family.
It's annoying. That human's way of thinking...
That man never once asked for a favor. His only request was a command...
I took the elevator and arrived at the 9th floor where the chairman's office was.
김석진
The chairman is waiting.
I opened the door to the chairman's office without knocking.
민여주
Ah. Ah. Long time no see, Mr. Chairman?
There's no need to be polite to this kind of person. He's just as disgusting as I am.
I sat down, looking at the chairman's angry face. Taehyung was sitting across from me.
민여주
Are you getting dementia as you age? Didn't I tell you clearly? Don't call me. I don't want to see the chairman's face. No, why do you keep trying to play family games? I can't figure it out for now...
민회장
An uncultured person.
I smiled and answered the man's words.
민여주
It's not a guy, it's a girl. And the chairman raised her like this.
민회장
....and I have someone to introduce you to. Say hello.
민여주
no, I do not want.
민회장
Min Yeo-ju! What kind of manners is that!
민여주
Oh, you remember my name?
민회장
This is Kim Taehyung. He's the only son of our rival and a retired employee. And he's the one who will become your future husband.
No... Absolutely not. It's dangerous if Taehyung is around me in any way.
민여주
Mr. Chairman!
김태형
Haha ...
His wounded eyes and tone... His appearance broke my heart. My heart sank. My heart pounded with anxiety and regret.
민회장
Why? You were making a fuss about it until recently.
민여주
There's no reason to tell you, Mr. Chairman.
김태형
Ms. Min Yeo-ju?... Could you talk to me for a moment?
민여주
I have nothing to say...
김태형
I am here.
Taehyung grabbed my arm and led me out of the president's office. I knew I should shake his hand away, but I couldn't. I loved Kim Taehyung so much that I couldn't.
Taehyung took me to a cafe near the company.
민여주
What do you want to talk about?
김태형
My lady....
Your hands were trembling as you called my name. What could you, who feared nothing in this world, be so afraid of?
김태형
Heroine....you don't have to love me....just stay by my side...I don't want much...just...just stay by my side, okay?
민여주
There are a lot. Even that is a lot.
You must cool down. Absolutely.
That's how you can protect your loved ones.
