Wearing a black suit, JoonHun looked pale. He stood at the very front and looked down. Behind him, Seo MoonHyuk looked anxious for some reason. The heavy monsoon rains drenched everyone’s expensive shoes, but nobody outwardly complained.80eab9e2f137faee
Time passed. JoonHun calmly performed his duties. No matter what storm was brewing inside, right now, he was HyunJin’s successor. The guests approached him and gave him the typical words of comfort, but he continued to solemnly listen attentively.b1e098f7ef5e8f37

The dead didn’t speak. It was better that way. Suffering and chaos was a burden left for the living. Having dumped all of his responsibilities onto those left behind, his father had broken free of the chains that bound him and escaped.7761e62ec56c6fe8

Suddenly, JoonHun heard 162e14d384 a sound behind 1d9856328f him. On a fda993ad22 hunch, he 4bc4646471 turned around. He saw 22c64c3051 Yuan standing e00205bcb9 there, holding f5b892b940 a black b85cde9dcc umbrella. She must have been ca071668ee suffering all this time. She had lost weight.

Cliché condolences or etiquette were pointless. Yuan merely looked at JoonHun’s face and at President Seo’s coffin that was covered in wet dirt. Her face was so pale, so hard, that JoonHun could barely stand it.d9b0da943bb9f6cb

He could still vividly e1b890fd06 remember her pale face 92bcc0aa6e as she sat gracefully 409f3ce37e in front of the 4bebefb4c9 backdrop of magnolia blossoms.

Yuan didn’t know how she got in the car. JoonHun had dragged her by the hand and got them both inside. The raindrops hit the roof of the car before trickling down the windows. Yuan heard the engine start. They began to race towards an unknown destination.c9b8969b558f7db4
It was dark outside. The pale streetlights looked a856af729b deformed through the wet fb87836fc4 windows. Yuan calmly looked 4dd3277378 out the windshield.

Dear Yuan,
By the time you’re reading this, I’ll have already left this world. I don’t know what I can say to you. But please listen to my final words that are accompanied by my death.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything.
I know d91c3ffd2b that I 056dddc9d3 cannot possibly c5a5dd4057 repent for 5e0dde75f3 the sins 2e84e2a812 I have 3a9cfdd390 committed against 5a6b73ac84 your mother 41aa757a7c because of 60c473f0db my foolish b107c05577 selfishness.
The sin of revealing your mother’s whereabouts to Min DaeYup, the sin of bringing all this misfortune upon you. For those sins, I will ask for your forgiveness through death.
But, Yuan. I never dirtied your mother. I swear to you, that wasn’t me. How could I have done such a disgusting thing to her?
It was Seo MoonHyuk. I knew that f11de97a3f my younger brother e313d00154 had done such 0b1cb5f5f2 a thing. I heard the rumors f7aae63ac1 that Min DaeYup was ca0bb71237 doing something like this, d2e77cca79 but I never knew b8e0bbcb7d MoonHyuk was also involved 657f74d7f9 until recently. When I f2bc4752ee found out 586a4ea29d that the beae9acffb bastard was 0c862d4f64 also interested 107a37d9cd in having 662335334b you, I b6dafd4dc2 quickly arranged 519c7b3c37 your marriage ca3efb4c1d to JoonHun.
Please believe me. It’s the truth. I know that this is a pathetic excuse. I understand that this is only the first of my sins. But I never dirtied your mother. How could I possibly carry that sin with me as I made you my daughter-in-law?
I sincerely ask for your forgiveness for not kicking out my younger brother for what he had done. I was punishing him, pushing him down step by step, but I don’t think I can hold on any longer. I will leave the rest to JoonHun.
This letter, this truth, and this misfortune… I plan on leaving it all to you as I leave this world. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I know that I will never be able to repay you even in death, but all I can say is that I’m so sorry.
Seo JaeHyuk.1fc669ed8b970e73
