TTS Vol 2 Ch 9.2

“Y-Y-You f-fucking lunatic! You’re not letting go? Are you some fucking gangster? Do you even know what you’re doing?! Let go! I said let go! Let go while I’m asking nicely! Let go of me, you son of a bitch!”

Shhhhhhh. The water level in the sink began to rise, quickly submerging Inwon’s forehead.

“Turn off the water! Turn it off! If you fucking touch me any further, I’ll call my father-in-law and tell him to get the Chief Prosecutor to demote you right away! You know what kind of relationship my father-in-law has with the Chief Prosecutor! Even Assemblyman Park won’t be able to do anything about it! Hey, hey, P-Park Chigyeong, w-water, it’s rising, the water’s rising, you crazy bastard!”

“Do you think I’m doing this because I rely on my father’s connection, the Assemblyman’s backing?”

Pressing down on Inwon’s struggling head even harder, Park Chigyeong sneered. His voice was low and mocking.

“How much power does an Assemblyman really have? Do you really think I’m doing all of this because I’m relying on a four-term Assemblyman? Seriously?”

“O-okay, so, Prosecutor Park, l-let’s talk this over. You’re agitated right now. Let’s look at each other and talk.”

“You’ve heard of Gong Cheolmin, haven’t you?”

Gong Cheolmin. He was so well-known in their circles that not knowing him would make you a spy. He was a man whose liquid assets and cash holdings were said to rival those of chaebols, amassed through private lending and land speculation.

So much so that even powerful figures bowed their heads before him.

He was said to have extensive connections and skills both domestically and internationally, capable of placing anyone he favored in a desired position. Above all, the influence of the ledger he possessed was so immense that it was rumored he could do anything except bring the dead back to life—a preposterous tale that only added to his mystique.

Wait, wait, Park Chigyeong’s father is Assemblyman Park Sangheon, and his mother is the daughter of an incredibly wealthy man. I think her last name was Gong… Don’t tell me this bastard…?

“You’re right, Inwon. He’s my maternal grandfather.”

At some point, Inwon stopped struggling entirely. From the moment he realized he was up against an insurmountable force he couldn’t defeat.

Fuck, God must really love this bastard. There’s no other way he could have everything.

Inwon simply chuckled dryly, his face still pressed into the sink.

“So, what? Call the Chief Prosecutor? Go ahead.”

Park Chigyeong dug through his pockets and pulled out his phone, pressing it against Inwon’s ear. It was a gesture bordering on intimidation.

“Call your father-in-law.”

“…….”

“Why aren’t you calling? Do it. Go ahead and do it.”

If he really was Gong Cheolmin’s grandson, what was a Chief Prosecutor to him? If his backing was at Gong Cheolmin’s level, even someone more powerful than the Chief Prosecutor wouldn’t dare touch Park Chigyeong.

Perhaps having someone like Gong Cheolmin behind you was better than a president whose term was limited. The power wielded by Gong Cheolmin’s network and his ledger was practically limitless.

Inwon tasted the bitterness of defeat as his nose was submerged in water. Then his ears, and then his lips. With his entire face underwater, he struggled to breathe. A fear he’d never experienced before grew monstrously, swallowing him whole.

“Cough, ugh, cough!”

Inwon desperately tried to lift his head, clinging to the sink for the oxygen he needed to survive, but no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible. The force of the one threatening his life was stronger than the force of one fighting for it.

“Gasp, cough!”

Like a weak fish, caught by a fisherman, flapping desperately for its life, Inwon thrashed and convulsed in Park Chigyeong’s grip. It lasted exactly ten seconds. Ten seconds was all it took for Park Chigyeong to break him.

After that short period, which felt like an eternity to Inwon, Park Chigyeong grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and tossed him aside like a rag doll.

Thud!

“Gasp, gasp, haah, haah…!”

Inwon sat with his back against the wall, gasping for air, his face pale, almost blue. Even though it had only been 10 seconds, he was gasping for breath, looking like he was about to die.

Park Chigyeong turned off the faucet. Shhhhh. The sound of the water, which had seemed like a blade at his throat, ceased abruptly. Then, he heard Park Chigyeong sigh theatrically. Frowning, he brushed the water droplets that had splattered on his jacket and walked toward Inwon.

Inwon continued to breathe heavily, shuffling backward on his buttocks. Of course, since there was a wall behind him, he only ended up pressing his back harder against it.

Completely surrounded, trapped like a pathetic mouse, he looked up at Chigyeong with fear-filled eyes.

Park Chigyeong bent down and took a handkerchief from his jacket pocket. As he reached out, Inwon flinched again, involuntarily. Looking down at him, Park Chigyeong chuckled.

“Why are you so scared? You’ve never been scared of me before.”

He gently cupped Inwon’s jaw and began to wipe his wet face with the dry handkerchief. The handkerchief smelled irresistibly good.

Handling Inwon’s face as if it were precious, Park Chigyeong spoke in an incredibly gentle voice.

“Inwon, I really want to get along with you. That’s why I’ve told you this multiple times.”

“…….”

“That I acknowledge you. I acknowledge you, a man who grew up under a poor, single mother and managed to put on a judge’s robe. So all you have to do is relax your shoulders, bow your head before me, and do your job as a good watchdog for your father-in-law’s house. That’s all you need to do. But why do you keep coming here and acting like a rabid dog instead of guarding the house you’re supposed to guard?”

Park Chigyeong gripped Inwon’s jaw tightly, forcing him to look directly into his eyes.

“You pathetic thing.”

His eyes filled with contempt and disdain as he looked down at Inwon.

“Do you think I’m a joke, smiling and treating you like an equal when you’re not even on my level? Huh?”

“N-No, Chigyeong. I’ll do as you say from now on. I really will. L-let’s… really try to get along now.”

Inwon, his face pale, bobbed his head up and down vigorously. Water droplets sprayed onto Park Chigyeong’s jacket, leaving spots here and there.

Ha, Park Chigyeong’s brow furrowed deeply. He tightened his grip on Inwon’s jaw. Ugh, Inwon winced in pain, feeling like his jawbone was about to shatter.

“Inwon.”

Park Chigyeong brought his handsome face close to Inwon’s and smiled. Anyone who saw it could tell that it was a forced smile. Especially with the tense muscles in his clenched jaw.

“I picked out this suit with care today, and because of you, I look like… Look at what you’ve done to my clothes, Inwon.”

Listening to that voice, fierce yet gentle, at once affectionate yet chilling, Yoo Inwon defined his bloodline thus.

“You’ve ruined it, you fucking bastard.”

He was a vulgar and vicious bastard, with the blood of a thug flowing through him, disguised as a noble and elegant gentleman.

“Ma’am.”

Taeri cautiously called out to Gong Yunseon as she entered her bedroom. The room was dark, with no lights on, and Gong Yunseon lay in bed, refusing to eat or drink. She had been like this ever since Park Chigyeong had severely beaten Park Sihyun in front of her.

Gong Yunseon was impressive for lying in bed for days in protest, but perhaps even more impressive and resilient was her eldest son, Park Chigyeong.

Normally, one would check on their mother if she were this despondent, but he seemed to lack even such human decency or even the smallest amount of filial piety.

Taeri briefly entertained the thought that Park Chigyeong needed to have a child of his own, one just like him, and then quickly shook her head. A father like Park Chigyeong? What would that child have done to deserve such a fate? Perhaps he knew himself too well and had tied himself down.

“Ma’am, you haven’t eaten anything. You’ll collapse.”

“Pretty girl… what time is it?”

“It’s a little past eight.”

“Our Prosecutor Park… is he still out…?”

“Yes.”

“Our Sihyun too?”

“Yes.”

“Have the bruises on Sihyun’s face faded a bit?”

“I’m not sure. I haven’t seen Sihyun for a few days either.”

“I see. He’s probably avoiding me on purpose. Who wouldn’t… after being beaten like that by his brother in front of his friend…”

Oh, I’m so upset, Gong Yunseon sobbed, burying her face in her pillow.

As Gong Yunseon said, Park Sihyun might be avoiding her, but in reality, it was Taeri who was actively avoiding him.

She had been dodging him as much as possible because she didn’t want to meet him. It felt uncomfortable to face him. After learning what she had learned, after seeing Park Sihyun’s hidden true nature, she truly felt repulsed.

Yes. How could that blood go anywhere? No matter how much he pretended to be kind, Park Sihyun was ultimately a bad person by nature. He claimed to believe in the theory of inherent evil of humanity because of his brother, but… Well. They were two sides of the same coin. And if that was the case, was this woman, who had given birth to two such sons, truly normal?

‘Even while Park Sihyun, after crippling someone, was nursing a hangover, unconscious for days and being cared for by his mother…’

This woman, who prioritized her own son’s hangover over the fact that someone else’s child had been crippled, was ultimately the same.

“Pretty girl… don’t worry about me, go out and have a nice meal. This old lady will just lie down here for a bit longer.”

But even so, Taeri’s heart softened towards Gong Yunseon. Perhaps it was because she reminded her of her own mother, who was far away.

The more time she spent in this house, the more she questioned why she was even there. Back then, she had been so desperate that she had practically pushed herself into this place, but now, with some time to reflect it slowly, everything seemed nonsensical. Why did she have to be here, separated from her mother?

Should I leave? Once I’ve meet my father, should I just leave this damn place?

As she left Yunseon’s bedroom, closing the door behind her, Taeri looked at her phone.

[The meeting with Kang Sangbum is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Let’s have dinner outside today. Come to the front of the Prosecutor’s Office by 7:00 PM.]
