TMPW Ch 16 part 1
by AnonAnemone“Last night, during the HyunJin anniversary banquet at S hotel, a video file was released that has been making a huge impact in our country. The video was of Kang Yina, the daughter of KeumYoung, who passed away 13 years ago. This video was on every screen in the hotel. It was also released on the internet. Many viewers are still leaving comments on the post.”1f9ccd4e70c43f55
“Yes. 28 years ago, RyuHwa Company and KeumYoung Investments merged to form the powerful investment company R&K. The only daughter of KeumYoung, Kang Yina, and the eldest son of RyuHwa, Min DaeYup were married in order to seal this merger. Although Kang Yina already had a family, her previous husband and her son suffered a fatal car crash. The video revealed that the crash was actually planned by the ex-President Min DaeYup and HyunJin’s President Seo JaeHyuk. As this video spread out to the public, our citizens are in complete and total shock.”ff4d62db32f82438

“This is truly a terrifying and sickening story. A premeditated murder and a contract marriage… It’s truly uncivilized and disgusting. How has R&K and HyunJin responded to this?”8fc65f7b0d7fa8e2
“R&K’s ex-president and HyunJin have both firmly protested and denied these allegations. However, other evidence that says otherwise is beginning to pop up all over the internet. It looks like these two presidents will have a hard time avoiding police questioning.”ab46c2d814bf052d

“Haa, this story is so tragic that I can hardly believe my ears. But I heard the more pressing story actually involves President Seo JaeHyuk’s son, Directly Seo JoonHun, and Kang Yina-ssi’s daughter, Min Yuan-ssi.” 083bd62ed33033d8
“Yes, if we look at their parents, they were supposed to be mutual enemies. However, last April, they celebrated their 2nd anniversary. Will this couple be able to stay married after all this? Many of us are curious about the story behind how they even got married in the first place…”851150aba0e2fa4e

Eri moved the mouse 2e16dada6d and turned off the 37cf68144b live stream. The room plunged b785868ffe into silence. The sunlight poured over 0c3b0ef60c the humming computer. She could hear the eaa6f8a042 children running on the c0a8b7bf64 streets outside. To anyone else, this 7f2ba6a477 day was an ordinary 805269a711 day like any other. To someone 924809f380 else, her 5970ac1393 world had 7d43f934c6 completely collapsed.b2d025431010b010

After Eri closed the browser window, three laughing faces were looking back at her. The photo was of high-schoolers Yuan and Eri, and even TaeKyung was by their side. The picture was taken 10 years ago. Eri saw her own brightly smiling face, Yuan’s slight smile, and TaeKyung’s blank expression on the monitor.bf351065bd5142ae
After staring at the picture for a bit, Eri quickly moved the mouse and began searching for the button to delete the photo. However, the cursor remained on the ‘delete’ button for a while. She had nurtured an unrequited love for one man for so long. She had been disappointed and angry with him before, but she had never hated him.595b2587a6ecf5e2

Eri calmly looked at the man’s face in the picture before clicking the ‘delete’ button. Maybe she should have gotten rid of these feelings a long time ago. Because she wanted to see him, she had chased him all the way back to Korea. And yet these memories were being erased like this.2e12b8ba9d489aaf

Surprised, Eri turned her head and looked at the front door. Then she turned back and looked at the small room behind her. The door had remained closed all this time. Yuan had not left the room at all. 3 days had passed since the scandal. Yuan wasn’t eating, drinking, talking, or crying.b8bb3eabe28d8f98
Did Yuan’s husband come for her? Eri quickly ran over to the door and looked through the peep hole. Surprisingly, the man outside wasn’t JoonHun. It was Lee TaeKyung.3d2fa2c64bb12b72

Eri looked at him for a while before straightening up. Yeah, she knew he’d show up here eventually. Yuan didn’t have anywhere else to go but here. As soon the door opened with a creak, she saw a restless TaeKyung standing there.5b10a6eaade19667

Eri’s cold voice made TaeKyung stop in his tracks.d66eb8e08c3f5ad0
Her expression was so different from usual. Whenever he scolded her, she would pout as she put on a pitiful expression. However, she quickly smiled brightly whenever she looked at him. He didn’t see any of that now. It was almost as if he was meeting a stranger for the first time. Her voice sounded awkward and cold.cbd5cc34724bad04

“Do you know why Hammurabi’s code says, ‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’? You see, humans… they will go further than just an eye in the name of revenge! It’s because they always want more. Just plucking an eye or breaking a tooth isn’t enough. They need to rip limbs and end lives in order to be satisfied. Why didn’t you protect Yuan? Why don’t you know your only sister’s heart? Aren’t you her older brother? You’re her only family!”0f3664ffc56107d7
