“In addition, Kang Hyeong-man, president of Brothers Planning, is suspected of assaulting an ordinary person. We at MS Planning ‘accidentally’ came across this fact and have already submitted a complaint to the police… ”

As the press conference continued, CEO Ahn continued to target Brother Planning.

‘It’s an assault on an ordinary person… , the boss can’t do that… .’

Kang Hyeong-man was never a person who would use violence against ordinary people for no reason.

But then something flashed in my head.

‘no way… .’

“ Accordingly, we at MS Planning plan to support the victim’s lawsuit on a ‘humanitarian level’.”

It’s Namgung Suho.

Kang Hyeong-man once made Namgung Su-ho’s face into a mess when he tried to touch me.

Even if it was self-defense, it would be difficult to completely avoid the crime if a person’s face was made that way… .

Unfortunately, there was no CCTV in that alley, so it was clear that it would be difficult to secure evidence that I had been stalked.

“Just touch me… . why… , even the boss… .”

Representative Ahn brought up many other things and exposed and drove out Kang Hyeong-man in front of the entire nation.

“We have confirmed that Kang Hyeong-man, the president of Brother Planning, is facing various other charges, including illegal collection and intimidation, and that several of his employees are ex-convicts… .”

“Ugh… , you’re right. Kang, the president of Brothers Planning, frequently broke into our house where there were only two women. .”

Even his father and mother came out in tears and added Kang Hyeong-man’s crimes. At that moment, through the words of CEO Ahn and his parents, Kang Hyeong-man gradually became a human waste.

‘stop… , stop… .’

I couldn’t just watch as Kang Hyeong-man, who was my benefactor, was increasingly disparaged.

I tried to file a complaint with Director Jeong, but… .

“… Director Jeong, our boss is not that kind of person… . Really no… .”

“… But the people will believe it.”

“… … !”

“Isn’t what CEO Ahn and Yerin’s parents are saying just now all lies? … People will probably believe everything these people say now.”

“… Ah.”

As soon as I heard those words, I lost strength and dropped my hands on the floor.

‘You’d rather curse at me… , me… .’

However, CEO Ahn and my parents only attacked Brothers Planning, leaving me and NAS Entertainment aside, as if Brothers Planning had been their goal from the beginning.

At first, employees who were busy looking for ways to respond to MS Planning simply stared at the screen blankly when CEO Ahn did not even mention NAS.

They rather… , He also looked as if he was persuaded by what CEO Ahn and my parents said.

“… Then, we will conclude the press conference with this. Lastly, is there anything you would like to say to the people… .”

In this way, CEO Ahn ended the press conference after criticizing Brothers Planning for the entire 30 minutes.

And finally… .

“Please help us save our trainees from evil companies.”

He bowed his head while saying he hoped for help from the people.

“Please… .”

“Please help me.”

My parents also stood next to CEO Ahn and bowed their heads together… , and so the press conference ended.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

As the press conference ended, the conference room fell silent.

The employees looked at each other in confusion and shrugged their shoulders.

They gathered to respond to MS Planning… , MS Planning did not actually do anything to NAS Enter, so the work they had to do disappeared.

I was the only one who was sad here.

“Director Jeong… , no… . Brother Planning is not that kind of company… . please… , Please help me… . please… .”

“Miss Yerin… , first calm down… .”

When I grabbed his sleeve and asked earnestly, Director Jeong said to me with a slightly troubled expression.

“… Since MS has not directly touched the NAS enter, we will have to wait and see what happens. The first priority is to contact Brother Kang, President of Brother Planning.”

“But… , the boss didn’t hear from me… .”

When I heard that only Kang Hyung would come to give me a proper response, I looked at my cell phone, which was not ringing.

It was then.

Turrr.

“… … !”

A sudden vibrating sound made me quickly look at the phone screen, wondering if it was the boss.

But it wasn’t my phone that vibrated.

“… I received a call from a lawyer at Brothers Planning.”

“Attorney Kim Jang Lee… ?”

Director Jeong showed me his phone screen for a moment and then answered the phone.

“Hello? Yes, this is Director Jeong.”

and… .

“… … Yes?”

He always seemed rational and calm… , I frowned after answering the phone.

“Yes… , yes.”

“… … .”

“… Yes, I understand.”

Kang Hyeong-man and Sang-gu oppa do not answer the phone.

Attorney Lee Kim Jang suddenly called and Director Jeong frowned.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t help but become anxious.

Director Jeong immediately hung up the phone and spoke to me with a confused expression.

“Miss Yerin… , that… .”

“… Yes, what did the lawyer say… ?”

In fact, although I was anxious, I had faith.

The belief that only Kanghyung would immediately reach out to me if I was shaking.

The belief that if I am in danger, only Kang-hyung will come running to me right away.

Because Kang Hyung-man has done the same until now.

He is not only a benefactor to me… , Because he was also a savior.

But my benefactor and savior, Kang Hyeong-man… .

“President Kang… , They say they are at the police station now.”

I was being harmed for helping me and reaching out to me.

“… … .”

As soon as I heard Director Jeong’s words, I froze.

It felt like not only my body but also my thoughts were frozen and unable to move.

‘Because of me, the boss… .’

Kang Hyeong-man was the person who saved me from my miserable life of being exploited by my parents.

He was the person who gave me my dream of becoming an idol.

He was a person who spared no effort in helping me achieve that dream.

He was the person who saved me before I was harmed by a stalker.

Above all, he… .

‘I always believe in you.’

More than anyone… , me… , He was the person who trusted me.

That’s him… , because of me… , because of me… .

Blah blah, blah blah.

My heart splits and my body becomes heavy like wet cotton.

“First of all, the charges… , to be released… , to say… .”

Director Jeong kept saying something in front of me, but I couldn’t hear it clearly.

It felt like I was slowly falling into a dark, deep sea.

In fact, I was increasingly unable to breathe.

I feel stuffy… , it became painful.

“… Miss Lin?! … … Ms. Yerin… !!”

Soon Director Jeong called me with a surprised expression, but soon my vision went black and I couldn’t see anything.

‘It’s painful… ,’

I just wanted to be loved.

In this very lonely world… , I just wanted to be in someone’s arms.

But was it too much for me?

“… … … Miss Lin! mental… … !”

“… … Hurry up and catch the train.”

I may be being punished for wanting too much love from my subjects.

I literally lost my mind.

It was a perfect battle of darkness.

**

Police station at that time.

Squeak.

Kang Hyeong-man, who was sitting in the police station’s interrogation room, raised his head and asked as soon as Attorney Kim Jang Lee entered.

“What happened to this lawyer?”

“Yes, fortunately, Director Cho Sang-gu received another agreement from the victim. This puts an end to the assault charges.”

I had no idea that MS Planning would tackle him by bringing up the Namgung Soo-ho assault case.

But fortunately… .

‘Hee, hee… ! Ha, I’ll do it again, whether it’s an agreement or something… ! Yo, please forgive me… !’

Thanks to Namgoong Su-ho, who was already sick of the brothers’ plan, they reached an agreement again, so the assault charges were immediately dropped.

“What is the rest?”

“Threats, trespassing, illegal collection, etc… Actually, this is just a symptom and there is no physical evidence left. It will soon be concluded as insufficient evidence.”

“I see.”

As Kang Hyeong-man nodded calmly, Kim Jang Lee sighed and said.

“It’s still too early to say I’m lucky. Because of the press conference held earlier during the day, public opinion toward Brother Planning is at its worst.”

“… … .”

“Revenge… , you have to do it, right?”

In fact, since receiving the hint last time, Kang Hyeong-man has gathered many weaknesses of MS Planning, such as the company’s vicious slave contract situation, CEO Ahn’s promiscuous personal life, etc.

In addition, Kang Hyeong-man also had evidence that Yerin’s parents enjoyed a debaucherous lifestyle, borrowing money here and there and gambling.

If they wanted to, it wouldn’t be a problem for Brothers Planning to blow up CEO Ahn and Yerin’s parents.

but… .

“… How is Yerin?”

“… … .”

I was able to see this kimjang for a moment.

The fact that only Kang Hyeong-man is hesitant to counterattack now.

“Yerin will be well taken care of at NAS Enter.”

“… Sanggu and I were both busy, so we couldn’t contact Yerin. You’re probably worried a lot, so at least call this lawyer… .”

“Why worry about Yerin now? Boss Kang is now becoming an asshole nationwide? So when will we reveal our evidence??”

“… … .”

When Lee Kimjang became frustrated and complained, Kang Hyeongman looked into space for a moment and then spoke.

“If we overturn public opinion, not only MS Planning but also Yerin’s parents will be in trouble. … Yerin still likes her parents. If we expose the evidence… , Yerin will probably be very hurt.”

“What is this… .”

Kim Jang Lee, who could not understand what Kang Hyeong-man was saying just now, asked him in a bewildered mood.

“… No, what do you mean now? Are you saying you won’t do anything about this situation because you’re afraid that Yerin will be hurt? What on earth did Miss Yerin say to Boss Kang?”

“… … .”

Hearing Kim Jang Lee’s words, only Kang Hyeong fell into reminiscence for a moment.

The first time I met Ha Ye-rin was at her first birthday party.

Kang Hyeong-man, who had attended out of courtesy when he heard that his benefactor’s granddaughter was having her first birthday party, was surprised.

“How cute is the baby who is now 1 year old… , I was thinking that I wanted to have a child even though I wasn’t married.”

The next meeting was when Yerin turned 5 and Yerin’s father did not repay the money he borrowed from her for the first time.

“It’s been so long since I last saw him, and he has grown so much… . I often looked at the face that looked like it was my grandfather’s. ”

Then enter elementary school, 3rd grade, and 6th grade.

Entering middle school, third grade, and high school.

“It’s so smart and pitiful that a guy the size of a rat should do housework and pay living expenses. My initial feelings were probably sympathy.”

First year of high school, second year, and… , today.

“I continued to give my heart like that and recently realized. I… , I deep down thought of Yerin as my daughter.”

I wanted to help Yerin when she was sad.

When Yerin laughed, the same laughter came out.

When that stalker tried to touch Yerin… , blood spurted out.

When Yerin realizes her dreams on stage… .

‘ah.’

My heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.

Even though she wasn’t the daughter she gave birth to herself… .

He had been feeling deep paternal love toward Ha Ye-rin at some point.

Lee Kimjang, who heard all of this, shook his head and muttered.

“… Really, what does a person who is not even married have a daughter? .”

“So, didn’t I just say that ‘deep down’ I thought of Yerin as my daughter? … For reference, today’s story is a secret from Yerin. If Yerin heard that she thought of me as her daughter, she would probably feel very burdened due to her personality.”

“… Yes, that’s right. Then we really don’t do anything?”

“… … .”

When Lee Kimjang asked the question again, Kang Hyeongman nodded with a firm expression.

“Our Brothers Planning awaits Yerin’s choice. and… , I will support Yerin from behind no matter what choice she makes.”

“And what if Yerin chooses her parents instead of Brothers Planning?”

“Then it can’t be helped.”

“Ha.”

Lee Kimjang clicked his tongue in frustration.

There is a clear opportunity to take revenge on the opponent who struck first, but you hold back on this.

From Kim Jang Lee’s perspective, there was even a possibility that Ha Ye-rin would support her parents instead of her brothers.

‘No matter how much you think about it, this is not a rational choice… .’

In response, Kim Jang Lee opened his mouth for the last time to change Kang Hyeongman’s mind.

“Even if it’s true for Yerin, what about the boss’s organization members?”

“… … .”

“If we call Ms. Yerin a daughter, aren’t the members of the organization the boss’s younger siblings? If there is a problem with the brother planning, there will be a series of problems with the members too, right?”

Kang Hyeong-man smiled and answered Kim Jang Lee’s question.

“Don’t worry, lawyer Lee.”

The expression on Kang Hyeong-man’s face as he said that… .

“If a problem arises, I plan to take all the blame.”

There was no hesitation.

“Huh.”

They say they will blame all their sins… , this is.

In short, if Ha Ye-rin chooses her parents over Brothers Planning… .

Yerin’s parents said that they would take responsibility for all the crimes that they had accused MS Planning of, such as threats, assault, and illegal collection, as well as all the public criticism and slings that are currently being directed at Brother Planning.

“You’re crazy, you’re crazy.”

In that case, it was as if the hilt of the sword had now been handed over to Ha Ye-rin.

And Kang Hyeong-man seems willing to give up his head if it is Ha Ye-rin who cuts him… .

He had an expression that showed no regret whatsoever.
