Chapter 133: That night was a mistake
Chapter 133: That night was a mistake
Young Hwa walks out of Jae Kyung's parents' house. He tried to talk to them. Jae Kyung's mother wouldn't back out. She doesn't believe that her son could do any wrong. The investigators found Kyuri's blood and fingerprints at the scene.
To make matter worse, the same doctor who treated Kang Si An was in charge of Jae Kyung. The investigators caught Kyuri leaving Kang Si An's apartment building the same day he was found unconscious by his manager. They are fully suspicious of Kyuri.
He needs to talk to Kyuri. This is going to be bad. It depends on what Kang Si An's statement now.
"Oppa."
He turns around and sees Yeon Seo standing behind him. Where did she come from? He frowns at her. She's the last person he wants to see now. He has seen the recordings. Though he couldn't hear it, Yeon Seo and Jae Kyung were seen having a conversation outside the room before she went in. If he had any doubt before, it was gone after seeing them together.
Because of this woman, things are crumbling between him and Kyuri. If she hadn't done what she did, Kyuri wouldn't be like this. Everything was going well before Yeon Seo came back.
"Oppa, wait." She steps in the space between him and the car door. "Why are you being like this to me?"
He left yesterday without a word. She heard about Jae Kyung too. She tried to find him at his home, but he wouldn't see her. Left with no choice, she followed him this morning to talk to him.
"You ask why?" Young Hwa eyes her darkly. "Yeon Seo, I didn't know that you were this scheming."
"Scheming?" She looks at him with confusion. "Oppa, I don't understand. I would never scheme against you. You were different that night and -"
"Don't even speak about it." He pushes her shoulder against the car. "Yeon Seo, how could you do it? You were not this kind of person. I could forgive you for breaking up with me over a text and leaving me. How do I forgive you for what you did that night? Because of you, everything is breaking apart in my life."
"Oppa, what are you saying?" She has no idea what he is talking about. What did she do that night except for... "You kissed me. So, I thought that you forgave me and wanted me again..."
Looking into Young Hwa's eyes, she realizes that something wasn't right about that night. Recalling Jae Kyung's words and Young Hwa's actions, she realizes the mistake. "Oppa, did you do it to me because you were drunk? If it was a drunk mistake, I don't mind... I still love you."
Young Hwa inhales sharply. Did this woman not know either? Did Jae Kyung play them all before he died? He has known Yeon Seo since they were ten. At the age of 15, they started their relationship. When he was 25, she ended the relationship with a text and left the country. As much as he knew her, she wouldn't succumb so low to scheme and mix drugs in someone's drink.
"Why did you meet Jae Kyung that night?" He asks her suspiciously.
The rage and suspicion on his face make her shudder. After hearing about the wedding, she couldn't stop herself. She wanted to talk to him once and tell him everything.
"I wanted to see you once," She tells him. "I met with Jae Kyung first. He said that he would help me. I told me to come to the hotel that night. He said that you agreed to see me once. That's why I..."
Young Hwa steps back and runs his fingers through his hair in frustration. Jae Kyung deserved what happened to him. If he was alive, he would have killed him by his hands. That man cannot be forgiven.
"Oppa, what happened?" Yeon Seo looks at him, distressed. "Why are you like this to me now?"
"You ask?" He barks at her in anger. "That night was a mistake. I am already married to Kyuri. Why did you still come to see me? Because of you, my marriage might break too."
Yeon Seo didn't know about the marriage registration. She only heard about the wedding. She pales in horror. "I didn't know."
"Why didn't you come to see me directly?" He punches the car and yells, "If you wanted to say something, you should have come to me instead of Jae Kyung."
"I tried to call your old number, but it wouldn't connect. I didn't know if you would see me. I was afraid that you hated me for what I did 5 years ago. I asked Jae Kyung because he is close to you." She babbles to him. "Oppa, I didn't know. I am sorry. I shouldn't have..."
"I don't want to hear anything. Don't appear in my life again." He pushes her away. The person he wants to see is Kyuri. He can still save this relationship with her. He needs to convince Kyuri to give them another chance.
"Wait" Yeon Seo grabs his arm. "Don't leave, Oppa. I got this chance after a long time. Please listen to me before you leave. I want to tell you to hear why I left you five years ago."
"I don't want to know." Young Hwa closes his eyes and sighs. "Yeon Seo, it's in the past. I don't care what is the reason."
It's painful to see her again. He doesn't want to get swayed by her.
"It was my father who forced me to do that." Yeon Seo cries to him desperately. "He was the one who sent that text. I know that you hate me, but I never broke up with you. It was my father who wanted me to stop seeing you."
"Don't lie." He grimaces at her. "I went to your house. You weren't there."
"He hid me at another place." Her voice is weak. She trembles when she recalls the torture. "He hated you. He held a grudge ever since your father rejected the proposal for the mall. His company was suffering a loss. He asked me to convince you, but..."
Something like this did happen 5 years ago. The proposal could only invite disaster. His father made the decision.
"You didn't say anything." His forehead creases deeply.
"I didn't want my father to use you for his gain." Yeon Seo leans on the car for support. "He wanted me to break up with you and marry someone else. When I said no, he locked me in the room and sent that text. I ran away once and tried to find you. But, I was caught by his people when I was on my way. I tried to do everything to send a message. For months, I didn't see the sunlight. Finally, When I agreed that I would marry any man he chose for me, he took me to another country. The man I married was forced to marry me because of his family. Recently, we agreed to divorce quietly and separate. I wanted to find you after the divorce, but you were never in the country. You were always on business trips overseas."
Young Hwa is still, unable to react. All of this happened because of a rejected proposal.
"I called your old number a lot of time." Yeon Seo sniffles and rubs the tears away. She wraps her arms around him. "I didn't know how to contact you. I wanted to come back sooner. I still love you. Please believe me. Oppa, come back to me."
