TMPW Ch 10 part 1

Within a few minutes, JoonHun and Yuan were sitting side-by-side in the back of an ambulance with a bloody TaeKyung on a stretcher in front of them. There were no windows in the back of the ambulance, but they could tell that they had left the decimated neighborhood of PyeongChang. They could no longer hear the sound of alarms around them.

The vehicle jolted as it continued down the road. Suddenly, she felt a familiar feeling of the car moving downhill. Yuan then realized that they had just arrived at JoonHun’s house. Her body still remembered the place she called home for two years.

Everything felt unreal. The fact that JoonHun had appeared in that basement, the fact that she was returning to this house… She couldn’t believe any of it.

Ever the skillful butler, Choi Myung appeared and began to take care of TaeKyung as he was taken off the ambulance. She didn’t know where he learned to do it, but Choi Myung injected a needle into TaeKyung’s broken leg and skillfully applied a splint. Completely bewildered, Yuan could only watch.

After having received the emergency treatment, TaeKyung was put on Yuan’s bed and fell into a deep sleep. Having devoted himself to TaeKyung’s treatment, Choi Myung gathered his tools and left the room. Only Yuan was left by his side.

JoonHun was nowhere to be seen.

Yuan calmly looked down at TaeKyung before shutting her eyes. She was exhausted, but sleep continued to evade her. Outside the window, the sky was faintly dark. The employees within the house were nowhere to be seen, leaving behind a thick silence.

She kept picturing JoonHun appearing in the doorway of the basement. She kept recalling how his murderous eyes had glared at her before moving to TaeKyung.

“Because I don’t want to be separated from you.”

She remembered how he had looked when he said those words.

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

After he said those words, she injected him with the sedative and ran away. Yuan couldn’t imagine how JoonHun was feeling right now. What was he thinking…

“Ah…”

Yuan covered her face with both of her hands. She thought she was going to lose her mind at this rate. Her tears began to flow out between her fingers. These despicable tears. How pathetic were her tears right now?

She breathed in and raised her head. The pale moonlight shone on her wet cheeks. Now wasn’t the time to be crying like this. Yuan got up from her seat.

She heard the loud click of the door as it opened. As she walked along the corridor, she looked up at the ceiling as she always did. The red light of the recording surveillance camera was nowhere to be found. The house wasn’t being recorded right now.

She walked through the corridor and saw a light coming through the crack of a door. Yuan carefully approached the door. As expected, JoonHun was inside. He was still wearing the same clothing he had been wearing at President Min’s house. He was holding a glass of whisky in one hand.

How much did he drink?

The bottle of liquor in front of him was almost empty.

“Well, to what do I owe the pleasure?”

As if surprised to see her at his door, JoonHun scoffed as he raised the glass to his lips.

“The madame has decided to grace my room with her presence.”

Yuan didn’t say anything.

“Why don’t you go back and take good care of your dying lover?”

He turned his head back. Yuan stared at his back for a while before coming around to stand in front of him.

“Lee TaeKyung is my brother.”

As he was turning his face, he stiffened. Unable to understand what she had just told him, he looked at her.

“What?”

“TaeKyung-oppa is actually my brother.”

JoonHun didn’t move a muscle. What did this mean?

“What sort of lie are you planning to tell me now?”

“It’s not a lie. You told me that you saw Jordan K. Han’s birth certificate. Didn’t you happen to see the names of his parents too?”

“What are you talking about? Just…”

“Father Han JinWook, mother Kang Yina.”

Yuan burst out laughing.

“Those are the names of our parents.”

Even if the skies had crumbled around them, JoonHun wouldn’t have been as surprised as he was right now. His face had turned deathly pale.

“28 years ago, RyuHwa Company and KeumYoung Investments merged to create R&K. Like our marriage, this merger was formed through a marriage between RyuHwa Company’s Min DaeYup and KeumYoung Investment’s Kang Yina.”

JoonHun then realized his mistake. He had seen the name ‘Kang Yina’ on Jordan K Han’s birth certificate, but he had forgotten that it was also Yuan’s mother’s name. Fuck. A curse left his lips. Even though the hint was right there under his nose, finding out that Lee TaeKyung was Jordan had put him into a rage.

“My mom was the only daughter of KeumYoung Investments and represented the ‘K’ of R&K. Of course she knew that she had an arranged marriage partner set up for her. However, the problem began when she went to Japan to study abroad. There, she fell in love with somebody else.”

At the time, when R&K had formed through the merge of RyuHwa Company and KeumYoung Investments, their stock prices shot up overnight. People called it the union of the century.

Having formed R&K through this merge, the businesses began to run more smoothly than ever. They gained many investors and ten times more capital in such a short amount of time. They became one of the top 30 businesses in the financial world. It was the birth of a sprawling conglomerate.

“My mom married that man, and they ran away to the United States. They gave birth to TaeKyung-oppa there, and then became pregnant with me.”

“Are you saying…”

Did they drag a pregnant married woman back here and marry her off? How?

“My parents desperately lived in hiding. They believed they would be taken to Korea and be forced to divorce if they were caught. But then, there was an accident.”

“Accident?”

Yuan stopped talking and looked at JoonHun. She carefully chose her next words.

The ones who found her mother was HyunJin’s intelligence team. They were far more capable than the National Intelligence Service and had chased after her family. But she couldn’t tell him that. She decided to withhold the information about JoonHun’s father’s involvement.

“Yes, an accident. A car accident. My father and my brother were in the car.”

At the time, TaeKyung was five years old. Like any other day, her father had strapped her brother to the backseat and was taking him to school. Her mother stood outside by the garage and tightly wrapped her cardigan around her before waving at them. That summer, the flowers in the garden had bloomed so beautifully, and so had her mother.

The tragedy came out of nowhere.

“In that accident, my father died. They said my brother died too.”

“You’re not saying that…”

Did that accident have anything to do with President Min?

JoonHun finally began to piece together what had happened. A marriage that would rake in an incredible profit. Kang Yina escaping that marriage. If somebody had a motive to kill her husband to force her into this marriage, it would be…

“Are you telling me that President Min went ahead and did something like that?”

JoonHun knew that President Min was a man of great ambition who hid many secrets. But committing murder? JoonHun knew that he was a man who did whatever he could to get what he wanted, but committing murder was a whole other level.

“That’s right. That man killed my real father and dragged my mother back to Korea.”

“How are you sure that he did this?”

“Because of WooKyung-ahjussi.”

JoonHun’s face stiffened.

“WooKyung-ahjussi was under orders by President Min to carry out that accident, but lucky for us, if you could even call it that, he hesitated in the final moments… Anyways, thanks to him, Oppa was able to live.”

Yuan clearly remembered WooKyung-ahjussi’s tearful face as he confessed how he couldn’t bear to leave a crying child in the burning wreckage of the car. Yuan bit her lip. Thanks to him, TaeKyung had survived.

To be honest, WooKyung’s love for Kang Yina also had something to do with it. Yuan’s mother, an incredibly beautiful and charming artist, had taken the hearts of many men. However, the only man she had ever loved was Han JinWook.

Han JinWook, her mother’s teacher in Japan.

His death had driven her mother completely insane.

“After pronouncing him dead, WooKyung-ahjussi secretly took Oppa as his adoptive son. And I… came back to Korea in my mother’s womb. That’s how I came to be Min Yuan. I grew up as President Min’s daughter. And my mother…”

Yuan remembered what she had seen from inside that closet long ago. She grit her teeth. She wasn’t able to tell JoonHun about what she saw. It was her mother’s humiliation and a terrible suffering. And she would also have to bring up her damn father-in-law.

Yuan didn’t have to say how much her proud mother had hated and despised President Min. No matter how violent he became, her mother never gave in. She did it to protect TaeKyung and Yuan. She did it to protect their inheritance.

However, President Min used other methods to have her submit to him. He used incredibly despicable and torturous methods… He had other men dirty her mother. After that, her mother collapsed. Unable to stand the suffering, she turned to alcohol for comfort.

She wouldn’t have lasted if she didn’t have liquor…

Even as she was crumbling, she tried to endure it to the end. However, after hearing her daughter’s reproachful words, she completely collapsed. Yuan clenched her fists.

Mom, I’m sorry.

Yuan wanted to end things here. There would be other ways to exact revenge on President Seo. She didn’t want to drag JoonHun into this, but in order to save TaeKyung-oppa, she needed to tell him this much.

“And my mother held a deep grudge.”

Yuan quickly smoothed over her story as she faintly smiled.
