Surviving as the male protagonist's stepmother
#10 Helplessness
…
At that time, I learned about Jiyeon's past.
김석진
So the reason we're gathered here now is to take revenge on Company H?
전일국
That's what it is
김석진
But… Representative, wouldn’t this put Jiyeon at risk?
김석진
If all of this is the work of Company H, there must be people watching Kang Ji-yeon.
전일국
I agree too..
강지연
But, I'm the only one who can solve this case.
강지연
Because I was the only one who saw my father for the last time before he died.
김석진
what..?
강지연
Actually, I don't remember clearly because I was young
강지연
The last thing my dad said to me… is on my mind
김석진
?
강지연
"After you sleep for 7 nights, dad will come pick you up"
강지연
“ …come up stepping on magpies and crows”
강지연
…I think I said that
강지연
I can't remember the details..
강지연
Because I was too young...
김석진
… Now that I think about it, I think you said that when we first met
김석진
After sleeping for 7 nights, dad will come to pick you up.
강지연
Oh, that's right..
김석진
But, what does this mean...
전일국
Secretary Yoon didn't give me the last file.
전일국
Maybe it happened on the way to get that file
전일국
..in the end, it was my fault
김석진
Then only Secretary Yoon knows the whereabouts of that file.
전일국
That may be true, but maybe the 5-year-old Jiyeon knew
강지연
Yeah, there must be a reason why my dad told me this...
강지연
When I was little, my dad always gave me strange problems.
강지연
Surely, there must be a hidden meaning in Dad's last words...
김석진
Hmm, but isn't it possible that they stole that file when Secretary Yoon passed away?
전일국
That wouldn't have happened. Then there would have been no reason to hide Yoon Ji-yeon, Secretary Yoon's daughter, in the first place.
강지연
…
전일국
So, our plan is to keep the last file's disclosure and delay from their surveillance.
전일국
In order for Delay to be safe, they must first reveal their true colors to the world.
김석진
Sir, what should I do?
전일국
It's my job to protect my soon-to-be-empty seat.
김석진
… Representative,,
전일국
Don't make that face
전일국
Everyone has their time, now it's my turn
강지연
…
강지연
… (sigh)
Jiyeon, who had seemed firm, seemed to be holding back something by putting strength into her lips.
Who wouldn't be sad to hear that someone they followed like a father was given a terminal diagnosis?
전일국
Jiyeon, please take care of my son..
전일국
They say that Jeongguk grew up without a mother and is a child who lacks a mother's love.
전일국
I always felt sorry for Jungkook for that.
전일국
… So, Jiyeon
전일국
I hope that Jungkook will be a strong family by his side until he can stand on his own.
전일국
Jiyeon, you are a child who knows the sorrow of not having a mother the best, so I believe you will do well.
강지연
mister..
강지연
Okay, I'll take full responsibility.
강지연
So don't worry...
Jiyeon's eyes started to well up with tears little by little.
전일국
Now that you mention it, I can go with peace of mind.
전일국
haha,
강지연
…don't say that
전일국
(smile)
전일국
If I had a daughter, I wish Jiyeon would be like you.
강지연
…
Jiyeon wiped away the tears that were flowing out little by little.
전일국
Okay, let's stop here.
전일국
Let me tell you about the plan.
전일국
There are mountains of things I need to teach Secretary Kim to fill my empty spot.
전일국
Jiyeon will be busy preparing for the wedding.
김석진
? Marriage?
강지연
lol..
강지연
In fact, it's not a real marriage, it's a contract marriage.
김석진
???
전일국
It is a contractual marriage to protect Jiyeon from them and to become the guardian of my son, Jeongguk, who will be left alone.
전일국
Legally, the marriage is only on the resident registration card.
전일국
Because that's how I can keep Jiyeon close to me.
강지연
That's right, actually... the place I live in now is also under surveillance.
김석진
Then, the police...?
전일국
It's no use, the water there has been polluted for a long time.
김석진
But, if they find out about the representative and Jiyeon's marriage, will they just stay still?
전일국
That would also be dangerous
전일국
So, the idea is to increase the number of security guards and personnel in the house to delay the delay.
전일국
And the ultimate goal during this contract period is to expose Company H.
전일국
I hope the two of you can join forces until then.
강지연
yes
김석진
all right.
전일국
I trust them both, they'll do well.
…
Just as the doctor said, the CEO passed away exactly six months after Jiyeon's wedding, with exactly six months left.
…
..
.
…
Back to the present
강지연
…
Jiyeon has this kind of past…
This… is a much deeper setting, isn’t it?
김석진
How about this, do you remember this?
강지연
…huh
It's a completely unexpected setting, but
The problem was that I felt helpless because I wasn't Kang Ji-yeon and couldn't do anything for the remaining period of my contract.
My head hurts..., damn it
강지연
Oppa, thank you for coming today even though you're busy.
강지연
Now I want to have some time to sort things out by myself...
김석진
Oh, yeah
김석진
I'm going to go now
김석진
Contact me when you've made up your mind.
강지연
Yeah, I understand
강지연
Go in carefully
And so, Seokjin left.
…
강지연
…
Now I wonder what's good
What should I do?
I was troubled by this.
The fatal error that I had no memory of Kang Ji-yeon was holding me back.
This… what did the male protagonist do in the novel?
Suddenly, I remembered Jeong-guk leaving home.
ah,
Oh, that's right, Jeon Jungkook
…
..
.
“What are you doing, like an abandoned puppy?”
…
전정국
…
전정국
… Again, you?
김여주
lol
The female protagonist was standing in front of Jeongguk, smiling brightly.
전정국
under…
김여주
Why, did you fight with Teacher Jiyeon again?
김여주
You got in trouble with Teacher Jiyeon again?
김여주
right?
전정국
…
김여주
You are really weird
김여주
You like it, but you're being so cruel
전정국
…her?
You like it?
I?
…
김여주
Look, I'll listen
김여주
What's going on this time?
The female protagonist's eyes sparkle as she looks at Jeongguk, curious about his story.
전정국
…
Now, he's enjoying himself...;
전정국
It's nothing
전정국
Just vent your anger on your own
김여주
?
전정국
Because that person suits me better than me
전정국
It was hard to watch it with my own eyes
김여주
…Teacher Jiyeon, do you have a boyfriend?
전정국
no;
전정국
That's not it, but…
전정국
Because you are more suited to me than me, who is your son on paper…
Jeongguk made a bitter expression.
전정국
…
전정국
… Hahaha
What do I want to do with Kang Ji-yeon?
Even if I hate you to death, that one gentle touch breaks down the barrier. This spineless heart.
It's funny.
Wasn't it me who mistakenly thought I was pushing Kang Ji-yeon away, but ended up not being able to let her go?
김여주
So, you ran away now?
전정국
…Is that so?
김여주
Huh,
김여주
In that case, why don't you just go once a year on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month? Okay?
김여주
Like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
The female protagonist pouted at Jeong-guk's frustrated attitude.
전정국
…;;
Why, I'm more upset...
…;;
…
..
.
…
"Where did he go again.."
강지연
I had a fever in the morning;
I went out to the street near my house to look for Jeongguk.
강지연
You didn't go far, did you?
강지연
Well, where can I go with a sick body?
Oh my,
I'm getting old because of you, Namjoo...
Blink.-
Bbang.-
강지연
…!?
…
..
.
“Collock”
김여주
?
김여주
Do you have a cold?
전정국
I think so
김여주
Oh, don't move it
전정국
…;;
전정국
Aren't you going home?
Jungkook looked at Yeoju with a look that said, "Should we go now?"
김여주
My friend is in trouble, so it's only natural to listen to him.
전정국
…
Did you come back?
전정국
I want to be alone, so go
Jeongguk reluctantly waved his hand towards the female lead.
김여주
lol
김여주
Okay, I understand-
김여주
A teenage boy's painful first love, we must understand.
전정국
…
…fuck,
…Fuck, should I close my mouth like that..
Jiing.-
Jiing..-
김여주
? The phone is ringing
김여주
Not accepting it?
전정국
…?
There's no one to call me
..ah
..Oh, is that Kang Ji-yeon?
Before I even thought about it
An unknown number caught my eye on my phone screen.
전정국
?
widely.-
Jungkook answered the phone wondering what was going on.
And then, a stranger's voice came over the phone.
…
“Is this Jeon Jungkook?”
전정국
Yes, who are you?
“Ah, this is the emergency room of ## Hospital, Ms. Kang Ji-yeon…”
전정국
…
…what?
…
..
