What should I say?

What else should I ask?

What perspective should we look at?

She couldn’t know.

I couldn’t quite organize my thoughts.

However, the fact that she hastily asked to meet him is proof that she is confused.

“So.”

The person sitting on the sofa across from me opens his mouth in a very relaxed manner.

“Why did you ask to see me?”

Things that you thought were insignificant, but internally irritated, start to look different.

Two eyes shining with interest, as if they were curious about what he was going to say.

The slightly raised corners of the mouth look arrogant.

Lastly, even the small habit of tapping my knee with my index finger.

You can’t reach a level by simply liking someone and following them to become that person.

Actions and habits that are literally as natural as breathing.

‘It’s all the same.’

It was exactly like my husband, Son Si-woo.

If only his face and voice were covered, it would be confusing to tell whether he was my husband or not.

He vehemently denied it.

No, he said there was only one person he loved.

I want to believe.

However, the person in front of you keeps putting that trust at risk.

What do you mean?

If it is not an illegitimate child, what can explain the appearance that looks exactly like my husband?

Feeling a headache from all the swirling thoughts, she frowned slightly and opened her mouth.

“… There is something I really want to ask.”

Kim Do-jin tilts his head at her words.

‘I just wanted to ask.’

No matter how much I thought about it, it was difficult to guess what questions would be asked.

‘If you look at their expressions, it’s clear something’s going on… .’

Just as Han Ju-hee knew all of his small habits, he also knew the big and small habits that Han Ju-hee had better than anyone else.

For example, those squinted eyes.

She suffered from frequent headaches when events that were too difficult to handle unfolded one after another.

From that, it was clear that something had happened to her.

And that’s at a level that’s hard to handle.

‘What is that?’

I hope you have a problem with the hexagram.

He answered patronizingly, harboring a subtle expectation.

“What are you curious about?”

“That’s… , over there.”

Han Joo-hee hesitates, unable to speak properly.

It was difficult to open my mouth easily.

Isn’t it impossible to ask someone to her face, ‘You are my husband’s illegitimate child, right?’

Even if he was an illegitimate child, you couldn’t blame him.

Because no child in this world is born by choosing their parents.

So she took her luck cautiously.

“You… , Have you ever met my husband?”

what.

The intention of this question is.

He nods his head carefully and answers.

“… Is that right?”

It would be dangerous to face each other, but since the industry is so small, we have met before.

Although we had a hard time pretending that we were seeing each other for the first time, looking at each other with unexpected eyes.

She shook her head, understanding what he meant.

“No, I’m not talking about public matters, I’m just asking if you’ve ever met in private.”

“… … .”

Kim Do-jin closes his mouth for a moment.

he thought.

What is the intention of asking that question?

That’s why I’m curious about my meeting with him.

‘Did you notice something?’

Maybe he’s starting to dig into the secret between himself and Son Si-woo.

‘If that’s the case, how did you find out about it? .’

Actually, at first, I thought the fake that took my body would catch on quickly.

Unlike this body that has no connection, Son Si-woo’s body has a family that lives with it.

But unexpectedly, he wasn’t caught.

It would have been effective to live in hiding as much as possible with plans such as buying time through a sabbatical year and to be careful about everything I did.

No matter how stupid he was, he probably knew that if it was discovered that he was a fake, it would never lead to a good ending.

So I was relieved.

At this rate, I don’t think anything special will happen until I tell the story directly.

But the fact that she suddenly comes and asks about him means that she sensed something from herself or Son Si-woo.

Where on earth did you notice it, and to what extent?

I am very wary of her and open my mouth cautiously.

“Well, ”

I pretend to be as casual as possible and ask her back.

“Did you really ask to see me because you were curious about that?”

Then she answered immediately.

“Yes, that’s right. That’s the only reason I called, so please answer.”

“… … .”

Kim Do-jin is taken aback by the explicit answer.

It was such an unexpected reaction.

This is especially true because I know that she is a woman who does not reveal her true feelings when talking to others.

This makes one thing clear.

The fact that she is somehow suspicious of herself and Son Si-woo.

They are also trying their best to uncover this.

If so, this was both a crisis and an opportunity.

I can get something equivalent from her in exchange for my information.

It hides the sense of crisis and puts on the face of a fighter looking for an opportunity.

“Seup… , it’s difficult to tell.”

Her face hardens.

“… Why?”

“No, what.”

Calming moxibustion.

After giving her mind enough time to imagine as it pleases, she speaks again.

“If it is a private meeting, it is a very personal area, but there is no reason why I have to reveal my personal story to Hunter Joohee Han.”

Isn’t it?

Han Joo-hee frowns at Kim Do-jin’s answer.

It was because I understood exactly what he was trying to say.

‘I guess they’re asking for something in return.’

It was a mistake.

I was so desperate that I forgot the very basic act of hiding my true feelings.

In other words, in order to get what you want, you have to go out of your way to get it.

She sighed slightly and asked him.

“… What do you want?”

“There are a lot of things I want.”

There are many things I want to achieve.

However, you have to evaluate it before that.

How highly she values my information.

How far can you achieve with that?

“For example… , information about hexagrams.”

Her face hardens quickly.

“I don’t have much information about that either.”

“Hehe… , did you join hands with an organization you don’t know much about?”

An answer that does not fit her thorough temperament at all.

She answered without wavering.

“So we held hands.”

“… … ?”

“Even though I tried my best, I couldn’t figure it out.”

Because I was in trouble, I tried to catch the tail somehow, but failed every time.

All she catches is a few strands of fur left in their wake.

I felt refreshed by their generosity and began to speak.

And I realized that their ideals were not much different from what I hoped for.

“If there is one thing I can tell you.”

The two people’s eyes meet in the air.

“Give up the confrontation even now. Because they hide greater power than you think.”

I meant it.

This is sincere advice without any provocation or ridicule.

But she forgot for a moment.

“Aha… , really?”

The man in front of me is very similar to Son Si-woo, and that too, to Son Si-woo in his younger days.

In his prime, he was a tree frog who had a fit every time he heard the word impossible.

“I’m looking forward to it more and more.”

It was only when she saw him licking his dry lips and making an excited expression that she realized this too late.

Realizing that she couldn’t convince him with her words, she shook her head and said,

“Anyway… , it is difficult to give you a satisfactory answer regarding them.”

It didn’t seem like a lie.

As a result, Kim Do-jin fell into trouble again.

So what should we make her pay for?

Then it suddenly occurred to me.

There was one fundamental question I had deep in my heart.

“Their goal was to turn the world upside down.”

“That’s right.”

They believe that the Awakened are beings chosen by God.

A special being chosen by God and given special abilities that humans cannot dare possess.

Some say they deserve to be called new humans, while others call them superhumans.

Although each name is different, the meaning is clear.

A being that is distinct from existing humans.

So they are very dissatisfied with the current society.

Why do they have to live like ordinary people?

Why do ordinary people still lead most countries?

Don’t they deserve to have the sky reign over their heads?

So the hexagram is trying to turn the world upside down.

To bring ordinary people down and themselves to heaven.

Awakened and humans.

Furthermore, a new class society is thoroughly divided into hunters with outstanding combat skills, awakened people with less skill, and finally, ordinary humans, and grant differential authority accordingly.

What they wanted was none other than such a world.

And it means that Han Joo-hee, who agreed with their wishes, also harbors similar ideals.

No matter how much Kim Do-jin thought about it, he couldn’t understand her.

She is already a member of the ruling class of this society.

You can get anything you want and achieve anything you desire.

Still, what is lacking?

“You already have everything, so what do you lack that makes you join hands with the hexagram and turn the world upside down?”

“That’s… .”

Before she could answer, Kim Do-jin continued speaking.

“Like last time, don’t give vague answers like it’s to have something you can’t have now because it’s worse than listening.”

“… … .”

He puts more pressure on her as her complexion becomes pale.

“Tell me the specific reason.”

Why did you have to join hands with them?

I wonder if it has something to do with my estrangement from the husband I love so much.

Han Joo-hee closes her eyes tightly at the sharp question that pierces her lungs.

After weighing things for a long time, she opened her mouth with difficulty.

“… It’s because of my family.”

Hearing this, Kim Do-jin’s face was distorted miserably.
