TMPW Ch 7 part 2
by AnonAnemone“I’ll drive today.”
Choi Myung and Yuan were both surprised to hear JoonHun say that.
The dinner had finally ended. It felt like everyone was walking on thin ice. JoonHun didn’t have many words to say as always. However, unlike this morning, JoonHun was tense. Yuan also felt that this all had to do with the money that had vanished.

After the meal was over, the uncle and aunt nagged JoonHun for an answer, but they never got one. JoonHun kept his mouth shut and merely sipped his tea.
And as they were about to go back home, JoonHun said that he would take Yuan back himself.

“I… understand.”
Choi Myung stepped back and replied. JoonHun opened the passenger side door and looked at Yuan. She realized that this was the first time they’d be alone in a car together.

The sedan departed with a vroom. It was tense inside the car and a heavy silence hung in the air. Yuan’s fingers fidgeted with her purse. The golden threads were curling its design all over surface of the bag.
She thought about the items inside her bag, and her head felt foggy.

The dark night fell over the road, and everything was silent. The car was not headed in the direction of their house, but Yuan didn’t ask where they were going.
How long had they been on the road? As they were about to reach the Han River, JoonHun finally spoke.

“About your private life, Lee TaeKyung… he is quite an interesting person.”
At his words, Yuan froze up. Her hand clenched her purse.

“I only knew him as President Min’s driver’s son. That’s what was in the preliminary report.”
The streetlamps passed by in a whir.

“But as I looked into it a bit further, I found out that he isn’t the driver’s biological son.”
Yuan didn’t move and continued to look at the taillights of the car in front of them. The lights looked like the eyes of a demon looking back at her and filled her with fear. They were like his unblinking eyes that were currently staring at her.

Mom…
Yuan called out for her mother, but the person that would respond to the call had already passed away long ago.

“It seems that Lee TaeKyung was born in the United States. I never knew he had dual citizenship. His other name is Jordan K. Han, right? That’s the name on his US papers…”
Yuan now forgot how to breathe. Jordan K. Han. That was correct. It was TaeKyung-oppa’s real name. He was born in the state of Minnesota, and thanks to birthright citizenship, he was automatically a citizen of the United States. Under the name of Jordan K. Han.

When he was twelve years old, he came to Korea and became driver WooKyung-ahjussi’s son and changed his name to Lee TaeKyung.
“That name was on the list of directors for the first paper company the Dubai money was transferred to. Jordan K. Han. I never imagined that this person could be Lee TaeKyung. We just came across it as we were going through all the evidence. We found documents stating that Jordan had become orphaned and was taken to Korea to be adopted. Adopted by Lee WooKyung, President Min’s driver.”

The car stopped. They had arrived at the Han River. Underneath the black sky, Yuan could see the specks of light twinkling from the buildings. They looked like falling stars.
“How much?”

Even as JoonHun glared at her with his fierce eyes, Yuan didn’t move and continued to look at the lights.
“Just how much did you help him, Min Yuan?”

There was still no response.
“Answer me, Min Yuan.”

His voice was incredibly cold. Even though he didn’t raise his voice, Yuan could vividly see the chaos whirling behind his eyes. However, Yuan didn’t even blink. A culprit should always be shameless, even in the face of all the evidence against them. JoonHun began to tremble.
“Did you really help him?”

Yuan calmly stared back at him.
She was very… sorry. She was angry at her own stupidity. She shouldn’t have dragged him into this from the beginning. No matter how much she needed to infiltrate the HyunJin family, she shouldn’t have married Seo JoonHun to do it…

It’s my fault. It’s my mistake. I’m the bitch. So now more than ever, she needed to break away from Seo JoonHun.
“You’re right. I helped him.”

Therefore, she needed to obediently confess it all.
“I helped Lee TaeKyung steal the 500 billion won in Dubai.”

Finally hearing it out loud after having suspicions for so long felt odd. JoonHun didn’t speak. He sat stiffly as he continued to look at his wife. As if his head had been hit with an enormous hammer, JoonHun couldn’t think.
His wife waiting for news of a divorce. His wife saying that Lee TaeKyung was her lover. Now his wife was telling him that she had stolen 500 billion won of the company’s funds. What was he supposed to do with her now?

He recalled her damn profile he had looked over before he first met her. A clean and quiet image? The top choice among the elders for a daughter-in-law? Ha! It wasn’t even funny!
This tragedy was the result of the eternal flaw of humans judging someone by their outward image. JoonHun was now paying the cost for that common flaw committed by everyone in the world.

Just this morning, as he embraced Yuan, he felt that he still had hope. Their marriage was strange and twisted, but he wanted a fresh start. That was until he had received Derrick’s call…
As the head of security at HyunJin, Derrick was investigating the Dubai incident under JoonHun’s orders. He was a genius computer specialist and was one of the top computer programmers in the world.

Finding the core keyword, he was able to sift through tons of data and dig up anything he wanted. If it wasn’t for Derrick, JoonHun would never have been able to find the remnants of Lee TaeKyung’s previous identity. He also would have never found out about the hacking program within the HyunJin servers.
The person who just inserted a small USB into the servers to gather all the secrets within HyunJin. The person who lurked every night to turn off the cameras within the house. That person was living with JoonHun on the 4th floor of his home.

Words couldn’t describe how brazen and despicable she was.
“Is that all you have to say…”

She didn’t avoid his eyes. Their eyes cut into each other. He never expected that this was what was underneath that beautiful and quiet mask.
Now JoonHun felt as if he couldn’t breathe as he glared at her.

Time seemed to stop. Everything stopped. As if the inside of the car had become a vacuum, nothing was left. Yuan knew that JoonHun was furious. Even more than when she told him that Lee TaeKyung was her lover.
If he could, she really believed that he would kill her here tonight. It didn’t matter. No, actually that would be for the best.

Either way, Seo JoonHun and Yuan wouldn’t last together. She only used him to destroy HyunJin and R&K. A true marriage with him was impossible from the start. This marriage needed to end. Right now.
“Why? Why did you go this far?”

This was the worst case scenario. She played with him and turned him into a fool. How could she have done this?
Yuan couldn’t find an answer to give him.

“If you wanted to live with Lee TaeKyung, you could have just run away together. 500 billion won is way more than you need. You knew HyunJin and R&K wouldn’t turn a blind eye if this huge amount of money was lost. Why did you do this?”
She still didn’t answer him.

“Min Yuan.”
“You’ll wear out my name if you keep calling it.”

“Tell me. You need to tell me so that we can fix this.”
Fix? Yuan looked at him. How did JoonHun plan to fix this? She didn’t just take a handful of cash. She took 500 billion won. Wasn’t he going to hand her and Lee TaeKyung over to the authorities?

“What are you planning to do?”
Yuan was honestly curious.

“What?”
“500 billion. You know that Lee TaeKyung and I stole it, so what are you planning to do?”

If the roles were reversed, she’d have killed him. She wouldn’t have come all the way out here to merely ask questions. She would have tortured him. There wouldn’t be anything left to hand over to the police. She would have gone into a violent rampage, only stopping when he barely had any breath left in his body. She would have tormented him again and again.
So what was going through JoonHun’s head right now?

He should have heard this morning that Lee TaeKyung being Jordan K. Han had something to do with her as well. What had he been doing up till now?
JoonHun looked at her. There was definitely rage within his dark, fierce eyes. There was also confusion. However…

Yuan instantly stiffened.
At the unexpected gleam in JoonHun’s eyes, Yuan froze.

JoonHun was trying to cover it up. He was trying to cover this up… No way… Was he crazy?
“Where is the money?”

He asked. Yuan didn’t answer him.
“Where is it?!”

She was a completely wicked bitch, but she was his wife. He didn’t know how deep her relationship with Lee TaeKyung was, but he would end it here and now. 500 billion? He could just get it back. He truly planned on covering this incident up.
Damn Min Yuan, even that bastard Lee TaeKyung… He was going to cover it all up. If they found the 500 billlion, R&K and HyunJin would no longer focus their time on finding the culprit. Then he wouldn’t lose Min Yuan. He would even save Lee TaeKyung, the man she loved so much.

Even though he had gone through hell these past few days, he had one goal in mind.
He needed to fix this. Quickly and secretly. Nobody could know. No matter what Yuan’s answer was, no matter what her reasons were for doing something like this, whether she loved Lee TaeKyung or not, he truly planned on covering this incident up.

Yuan blankly stared at him. Did Seo JoonHun know what she did? Has this man lost his mind? It was 500 billion won. On top of that, 1 trillion of his personal assets were on the line. His wife from his contract marriage had stabbed him in the back with another man. But he was still trying to cover it up?
“Why?”

The blood drained from her face.
“Shut up and just tell me where the money is.”

“What are you going to do once you have the money? Are you going to divorce me?”
“Min Yuan. I’ve already told you this. I’m not divorcing you.”

“Why not?”
Their eyes met. His eyes looked at her. Yuan clenched her purse.

No. There’s no way. They were part of a contract marriage. He didn’t feel anything for her, and he only married her for the profits. Wasn’t he a man that used people for his own purpose?
“Because I don’t want to be separated from you.”

He replied.
“No matter what happens, I don’t want to be separated from you. Is that enough of an answer for you?”

Yuan froze up and couldn’t move.
