You're divorced, what else can you add?
25. I'll find it
I tried to leave his side. But the moment Baekhyun told me not to go, I didn't want to go either. But I had to get away, so I didn't answer him and just stayed still. But Baekhyun said, "Even if you tell me to die, I won't die." As if relieved by those words, his mouth, which he had been holding back, opened on its own.
My true feelings spilled out. I can't take it back. I've already made a promise. Now that it's come to this, I have no choice but to confront Park Chanyeol directly.
이지은
"Baekhyun, let's go to the beach. I want to go to the beach."
변백현
"huh."
The sea was the last place Junmyeon tried to forget his brother. The sea was the last place Junmyeon played with his brother.
이지은
"Do you remember this place?"
변백현
“Of course, it’s the very place where you, Junmyeon, and I played.”
이지은
"Yeah, that's the end of it. We're leaving here with our memories..."
변백현
"huh..."
Perhaps because it was winter, the sea was deserted, but I heard a noise on the otherwise quiet beach. I assumed it was just someone who enjoyed the winter sea, so I ignored it.
박찬열
"You were here?"
I turned around at the sound of a familiar voice and saw Chanyeol.
박찬열
"How was the surprise party?"
이지은
'You must have come to take Baekhyunil or kill him. You can't do whatever you want. Park Chanyeol.'
이지은
"Baekhyun, run."
They spoke so quietly that Chanyeol couldn't hear them from afar.
변백현
"Then you?"
이지은
"I'll go later."
변백현
"What? No, I'm not going alone."
이지은
"Stop being stubborn and go quickly, or I won't see your face again."
First of all, I told him to go first because it was urgent to evacuate Baekhyun, and I spoke to Park Chanyeol to divert his gaze.
이지은
"Surprise? This is truly amazing."
박찬열
"Is our author free?"
이지은
"What the hell are you talking about."
Park Chanyeol, who was talking like that, gestured for me to look behind me. When I looked behind me, I saw some gentlemen dressed in black gathered together and trying to catch Baekhyun.
이지은
"Baekhyun!!!"
The thought of Baekhyun being caught and disappearing from this world like Junmyeon Oppa made my eyes go dark and I ran quickly. I ran so fast that I twisted my ankle. Ugh- I couldn't run or walk anymore. Ah, why did it have to be now?- I tried to get up again, but I couldn't even find the strength in my legs.
변백현
"Ji-eun!!"
Baekhyun yelled at me. "Tssup- My ankle is really swollen." The men in black who came next to me each grabbed my arm and helped me up.
이지은
"Let go of this!!"
When I was struggling to let go without being able to stand up straight, I saw Baekhyun trying to come towards me, saying, "Ji-eun!"
이지은
"Baekhyun... No. No, please don't get caught... Don't die... Baekhyun! Run away!!! Don't come back!!!"
At the words, “Byeon Baek-hyun, run away, don’t come back,” spoken loudly, the steps heading towards me stopped.
변백현
"Ji-eun..."
There must have been a reason I didn't know. The author was desperately trying to keep me away. Perhaps because the author was captured, no one seemed to be willing to move.
이지은
"Baekhyun, save me, but kill me instead..."
After he finished speaking, I sniffed the handkerchief covering my mouth and fainted. Sob sob-, Baekhyun-ah...
박찬열
"Take me."
변백현
"Ji-eun..."
From afar, Ji-eun looked like she had lost consciousness. So, I ran towards her, but Park Chan-yeol blocked my path.
변백현
"Get out of the way. Where on earth are you taking the author?"
박찬열
"Okay, I'll give you a chance."
변백현
"what?"
박찬열
"Come to that place, to that place."
He tells me to come to that place and then goes without stopping me. He asks Park Chanyeol, who is leaving without even telling me where the place is.
변백현
"That place?"
박찬열
"Sexual assault site."
He said, "This is a place of sexual assault," and disappeared with the author.
변백현
"A sexual assault site?.."
변백현
'Why did it have to be a place like that?'
All fairy tales have happy endings. Why can't we have fairy tale endings?... I thought a happy ending would be the easiest thing in the world. Even if you and I are separated now, I'll marry you in the end and live happily ever after.
변백현
"What should I do... I've only heard stories about it, but I haven't even seen it myself, and I don't even know where it is?"
변백현
'At times like this... if only Junmyeon hyung was here...'
변백현
"Is it by any chance Junmyeon hyung?!!"
I went to the K Group chairman's office and checked the computer, wondering if Junmyeon-hyung might have been aware of the incident. After searching for a while, I found something written on it that looked like an address.
변백현
"Is this..."
I'm not sure if this address is the exact location. Still, I moved forward to find the author and ensure a happy ending.
변백현
"Ji-eun, wait. I will definitely save you."
