Please let me stay for one night,
Please Stay with Me for One Night | Episode 49
_As soon as the female protagonist finished speaking, Hyunwoo put down the coffee cup he was holding and let out a short sigh.
채현우
···Ahh
채현우
I kind of expected you to ask questions like this...
채현우
I didn't know it would be this sudden_
_As if she didn't have time to listen to such stories, the female protagonist continued to look at Hyunwoo carefully.
채현우
······.
_Hyunwoo conveys his inability to answer through silence.
박여주
...I know, I expected this much. Me too.
채현우
I'm sorry, it's difficult for me to say.
박여주
...Are you joining hands with Kim Han-jin?
채현우
yes?
박여주
Reporter, the article has the most content related to Kim Han-jin.
박여주
It would have been difficult to obtain such information without consulting with the parties involved.
채현우
Holding hands...
박여주
It means you took a bribe.
박여주
You're the kind of person who only picks out good stories about Kim Han-jin and reports them.
박여주
Unlike other reporters, it seems like you're not greedy for scoops.
채현우
······.
채현우
Well, whatever the team leader imagines, it's probably not all that.
박여주
···I wonder, really.
채현우
Then can I ask you something?
박여주
As much as you want.
채현우
Team Leader, why do you want to find out about Kim Han-jin?
박여주
reason···.
박여주
Contrary to my intentions, I found out about the corruption of a man named Kim Han-jin.
박여주
I know that, but when I try to tell people, there's no evidence to support my claim.
_At that time, when did you order it? - Jimin, who ordered coffee at the counter, quietly places the cup in front of Yeoju.
채현우
How did you find out about Kim Han-jin's corruption?
박여주
There's no reason for me to say that.
_At the end of her words, the female protagonist puts on an artificial smile and lifts the coffee cup in front of her to her lips.
박여주
You know what, reporter?
_And the female protagonist takes a sip of coffee and slowly swallows it, saying:
박여주
You just answered, saying you know about Kim Han-jin's corruption.
채현우
······.
_Hyunwoo thinks back on what he said earlier at the female lead's words.
박여주
You asked how I knew about Kim Han-jin's corruption.
박여주
You already know that, right?
채현우
···You are sharper than I thought.
_The female protagonist brings the coffee cup to her lips again, looking at Hyunwoo, who only smiles to hide his embarrassment as much as possible.
박여주
If it goes like this_
박여주
If the day comes when Kim Han-jin's corruption is revealed, you, too, will be punished as an accomplice.
_He puts down the coffee cup, wipes his mouth with a tissue that was on the table, and continues speaking.
박여주
This is your last chance.
박여주
The reporter's chance to survive.
채현우
······.
박여주
I know. The amount of money I receive from Kim Han-jin is not usually large, so it's hard to give up.
박여주
It won't be easy, but I hope you make a good choice.
_The female protagonist hands over her business card to Hyunwoo, who is just staring into space.
박여주
If you change your mind, please contact me at any time using the business card number.
_The female protagonist, who decided that she had nothing more to say, nodded to Jimin and got up from her seat.
_I wonder if he was going to leave this place after just bowing his head slightly as a greeting.
채현우
Are you sure?
_The female protagonist turns around again at the sound of Hyunwoo's voice faintly heard.
박여주
What are you talking about?
채현우
You said you wanted to make Kim Han-jin's corruption known to the world.
채현우
What I mean is, are you really confident that you can reveal all of Kim Han-jin's corruption?
_His word 'all' was full of force.
박여주
···I plan to try to do that···,
박여주
I can't say for sure.
박여주
I also don't know what variables might arise.
채현우
···I see.
_When the conversation ended, Hyunwoo turned his head toward the window.
_The female protagonist, who had been watching him for a while, soon turned around and left the place.
박여주
···It ended much earlier than I thought.
_The female protagonist, who was looking at her wristwatch, said to Jimin.
박여주
Should we have lunch before going to meet the next reporter?
박지민
Okay, let's do that.
박여주
Let's see... There's a good restaurant nearby_
박지민
...But, sister.
박여주
huh?
박지민
There's that reporter, by any chance...
박지민
I wonder if he came here in collusion with Kim Han-jin.
박지민
If, as my older sister said, he even received a bribe from Kim Han-jin,
박지민
There's a high probability that Kim Han-jin asked Chae Hyeon-woo to make this promise too.
_The female protagonist, who had been hesitating for a while, answers.
박여주
Yeah, you're right-.
박여주
···That's true, but_
박여주
I don't think it's Chae Hyun-woo.
박지민
What... isn't it?
박여주
I don't think he came here after consulting with Kim Han-jin in advance.
박지민
Why?
박여주
Maybe it's your sister's intuition-haha
박지민
Oh, what is it-.
박지민
In this situation, a joke comes out - What about you, sister?
박여주
sorry-.
박여주
I was just trying to lighten the mood because you seemed so serious.
박여주
Rather... did I make it worse?
박지민
huh.
박여주
If you say that without even a second of hesitation - I feel a little sad too -.
_Jimin chuckles at the female protagonist's reaction.
박지민
I was joking too_ㅎ
박여주
Oh, what is it-.
박지민
Let's go eat quickly.
박여주
Yeah, I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat.
"Oh, but I really don't think Chae Hyun-woo consulted with Kim Han-jin."
"Okay- hey, stop it now- unnie."
"I'm telling you, really?"
"Okay, I'll tell you why."
"Really. From the flustered expression on his face, to the slight trembling of his eyes, he couldn't even control his gaze."
"It could be acting."
"Yeah, of course it could be an act. If it really is an act-"
"What about acting?"
"That guy should have been an actor, not a journalist. This is the truth. I've never seen anyone in my life show such panic."
"Ah, seriously, what is this older sister saying-"
"It's true. This is. Really. You have to believe me, right?"
···
++ Both of them are cute (smiling)
