After Ma Yeon-seo almost died before my eyes, I vowed never to see anyone around me sick again.

I definitely thought so.

“Oh, it’s nothing… .”

Han Ryeo-won was trying hard to cover up the bruise.

Wow. My fist clenched without realizing it.

“How can this be nothing!”

“… !”

I inadvertently raised my voice, grabbed her wrist, and forcibly exposed her covered body.

‘why… .’

He had been beaten so badly that there were bruises everywhere.

“… … .”

My heart ached to see her with such a shameful look on her face.

“This… . Why is it like this?”

“… It’s not what you think.”

Han Ryeo-won wiped her tear-filled face with the back of her hand.

To me, who had been watching her for quite some time, it just seemed like she was being stubborn.

“Hallyeowon. I saw this, how can I get over it? Be honest right now.”

“… … .”

She kept her mouth shut and remained silent.

“… I heard some men came to visit the other day. Are they those bastards?”

“… !”

When she was forced to share the information she had heard from Shin Yuna, she reacted with surprise.

“… Uh, how could that… .”

“That’s not important right now. It doesn’t matter that you got hurt like this!”

“… Tsk… .”

Startled by the loud noise, she leaned back slightly, then suddenly grabbed her upper stomach and made a painful expression.

It seemed like his ribs were injured.

“First of all… . Let’s go to the hospital first… !”

“Oh, no! Just apply some ointment… .”

Anyone could see that the situation was serious, but for some reason she was stubborn and refused to receive treatment.

‘… What is this… .’

At this point, I could sense something was strange.

“… Who said that?”

“… Uh, huh?”

“Who hit you like this? I won’t get angry, so say it quickly.”

I couldn’t just ignore it like this, so I questioned the culprit who committed the assault.

“… that is… .”

Then she hesitated for a long time without answering.

“… … .”

“… … .”

He looked at me several times and answered in a crawling voice.

“… Bye… .”

“Who?”

“… My father… .”

“… … What?”

For a moment, my mind went blank.

*

Shin Yuna and I, who had postponed our meal for a while, immediately gathered at our house.

Of course, it was to listen to Hallyeowon’s story.

“So… . Han Ryeo-won was assaulted by her father. Is this what you mean?”

“… Yes.”

Han Ryeo-won nodded to Shin Yu-na’s question.

Even though she was the victim, she had an expression that showed no shame.

“Umm… .”

“Ryeowon. Please explain in detail. Why did he harm you?”

“… therefore… .”

In the end, Han Ryeo-won began to tell the story carefully, as if she had no choice.

“… as you know… . It’s been a while since I’ve had any contact with that person… ?”

After the previous incident in front of the school gate. Her father hasn’t been seen for quite some time.

Then, a long time later, after I became an adult, I contacted him once.

At that time, the reason was to ask for a loan.

“How many years has it been?”

I knew it very well because I was next to it at the time.

anyway. One day, I naturally ended my relationship and started forgetting about it.

While I was nursing Ma Yeon-seo next to her, I received a call from an unknown number.

“I didn’t answer the phone at first… When I received it, it was him.”

Her father had contacted her.

“… Where did you hear the story? . He was talking about you… .”

“What?”

While mentioning me.

“… Hmm… . So?”

Han Ryeo-won, who glanced at Shin Yu-na, lowered her head and continued her story slowly.

“That person asked me to sell your information to the association… . I thought I could get a lot of money… .”

It is said that her unscrupulous father encouraged his daughter, whom he had treated like a stranger her entire life, to betray him.

“… So he believed that and took on a lot of debt… . The people who came last time were because of that… .”

However, when Hallyeowon refused, saying he did not like it, he came to see him in person to persuade him.

“I tried not to meet you, but… . I said I would come find you… .”

In the end, Han Ryeo-won had no choice but to go out to meet her father, who had come to see her.

It is said that while they resisted one-sided persuasion, they raised their voices and eventually suffered a change.

‘Are you hitting your daughter for money?’

There was no such thing as a real human being.

“You should report it to the police right away! Why did you try to ignore that?!”

I was saddened by the situation at Hallyeowon, and out of frustration, I blurted out bitter words.

“… But… .”

She looked at me and insisted in a hushed voice that there was nothing she could do.

“… I felt like I was going to hurt you for no reason… .”

I tried to solve it somehow on my own.

“No… .”

I couldn’t bear to say anything.

Isn’t it said that the more famous you become, the more noise there is around you?

That’s exactly what I’m like right now.

Seeing a close friend of mine being harmed unintentionally made me feel uncomfortable because of the fame that had spread across the country.

“… ha… .”

“Hmm… . There was no contact from the association?”

At that time, Shin Yuna, who was calmly listening to the story, asked a question about the association.

“… !”

Han Ryeo-won responded with a somewhat surprised reaction.

“… I did get a call. When Yu-chan was in the hospital, they asked me to provide information… .”

She took out her phone and showed me the details of their communication.

In fact, they have been consistently requesting my information, and Hallyeowon has been delaying the report, making various excuses.

“These guys… .”

“… hmm… .”

When I looked at it like this, I got a rough idea of the picture.

If you look at Ma Yeon-seo’s story and the fact that she urged Hall Ryeo-won for information, you can see how obsessed the association was with me.

In this situation, Hallyeowon’s father, whom I had never contacted in my life, suddenly asked me to sell my information.

How did he know that the Society wanted my information?

It was obvious.

‘Lim Mi-yoon!’

It was all about Lim Mi-yoon.

“… first. Let’s go to the hospital first.”

After understanding the whole story, I woke up with the idea of treating the patient first at Hallyeowon.

“Rice, hospital?”

However, Hallyeowon continued to be reluctant to go to the hospital.

I felt like I was wary that my father might get involved.

“Let’s think about how to solve the problem after receiving treatment first. You can’t leave that person alone forever.”

“… is it so. Let’s go first. Just in case, I left some pictures too.”

Shin Yu-na persuaded Hallyeowon by supporting my opinion.

“… okay… .”

Then she accepted the treatment as if she had no choice.

“Then, I’ll get my wallet from next door, so Ryeowon is just preparing.”

“My brother’s wallet was next to the TV.”

“… huh… .”

Then, leaving the two people behind, I quickly left the house to get my wallet…

Crash. Beep.

Right after Yu-chan left home.

“… … .”

“… … .”

A living room filled with silence.

Sigh. Shin Yuna crossed her arms and looked at Hallyeowon.

She still looked downcast.

“Hey.”

Yuna didn’t really like seeing Ryeo Won like that.

“Now do it in moderation.”

“… Yes?”

“Teasing my brother. Just do it in moderation.”

“… What is that… .”

Ryeo-won responds with a pitiful face without blinking an eye.

‘It’s such a fox.’

Yuna sighed briefly and shook her head as if she was tired.

“By any chance, you haven’t forgotten my abilities, right?”

“… … .”

Ryeowon, who lost all expression on her face for a moment, glared at Yuna with an expressionless face.

“I knew everything and helped.”

Yuna said calmly, noting that she was not surprised to see her like that.

“Do it in moderation and get it over with.”

Then Ryeowon quietly stood up and left a short answer.

“I’ll keep this in mind.”

It was a story Yu-chan would never know.

*

We found a nearby hospital where we could receive recovery magic and received treatment right away.

“Ah… . The condition is quite severe?”

The doctor reacted quite seriously when he saw Han Ryeo-won’s body.

“It will probably take some time, but… . Bruises and cracked bones will heal quickly.”

Fortunately, she received advice that treatment was possible without difficulty.

Instead, the recovery magic itself is a non-reimbursed item, so it costs quite a bit.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to worry about money.

“Anything is fine, so please use the fastest method.”

While Han Ryeo-won entered the recovery room.

The doctor who examined me called me again.

“Guardian… . As you know, the patient’s condition was quite severe.”

She mentioned the assault allegations with a very serious expression.

“In fact, at this level, we should classify it as assault and hand it over to the police.”

As expected, it was just as Han Ryeo-won had worried.

“… I have something to tell you about that.”

I, who was covering my face with a mask, took it off and showed my face to the doctor.

“Uh!”

just as expected. As soon as she saw my face, she was shocked and pretended to know me.

“Wow. I thought they looked alike just by looking at their eyes… . I’m a fan.”

“Thank you.”

Thanks to this, I didn’t think there was a need to explain it in detail.

“Fact… , The person currently receiving treatment is my manager.”

“Ah… . You were the manager.”

The doctor nodded as if he roughly understood the situation.

I appropriately disclosed the circumstances that the manager had been assaulted by a family member and asked for a written opinion along with materials for follow-up action.

“I understood what you meant. I will write it properly.”

As if she was already on my side, she just told me to trust her and proceeded with the work on her own.

At times like this, fame was good.

‘Of course the money is good.’

Finally, after two hours of treatment.

“Are you okay now?”

“… huh… . Thank you.”

Hall Ryeo-won, now in good health, continued to say thank you with a look on her face that did not know what to do.

It’s still too early to be thankful, though.

“I looked into it separately, and I think it would be better to send your father to the hospital.”

“Hospital… ?”

As a result of discussions with experts through Ma Yeon-seo, it was concluded that in the long run, it would be better to put Hall Ryeo-won’s father in the hospital forever.

Since there was enough evidence, it was said that the patient could be isolated from society as much as possible by ‘hospitalization with the consent of the person in charge of protection.’

“Well, you don’t have to go that far… .”

Hallyeowon, who heard of this plan, was worried that it would cause too much trouble.

“It costs a lot of money… .”

He said he was sorry for hurting me because of his father.

“… Ryeo Won.”

I glanced around to make sure there were no eyes on me, and then gently grabbed Han Ryeo-won’s hand.

“I can’t see my people being harmed.”

“… … .”

“Especially the person I love.”

“!”

She opened her eyes wide and looked at me with a surprised face.

“So, I hope you won’t find it difficult to rely on me in the future.”

He seemed very moved and even had tears in his eyes.

“… Yuchan… .”

Maybe she had a change of heart after what happened with Ma Yeon-seo, but she seemed so affectionate.

“Even though it’s like this right now… . … You know what I mean?”

A person you can relate to even without speaking.

“… huh… !”

One way or another, Hallyeowon was also precious to me.

*

After a while.

“Oh, no! I didn’t hit you!!”

Han Ryeo-won’s father, who had been brought in for an interview with doctors under the lie of providing information, began to be dragged away by the hospital staff.

He was diagnosed with anger control disorder, alcohol use disorder, and joint control disorder.

Unfortunately, the CCTV footage was cleverly obscured, so we could not find any evidence that he had directly assaulted Hallyeowon, but he had already entered the hospital and remained there.

“I didn’t hit you!!! That damn bitch… ! How dare you make a fuss and put Ji’s father in the hospital?! Let go of this! I have no sin!!”

He became furious and said that he did not continue to hit Hallyeowon even while being dragged away.

‘Tsk tsk. Really, how was Ryeo Won born under such a shameless psycho?’

There was really no mystery.
