For today Jin Ji lives in officetel, he is too shy to go home and meet Chae Eun. According to him, avoiding Chae Eun was the best choice.
"I still don't agree with Taehyung's fucking idea!" Bump Seok Woo who just came out of the kitchen with a warm drink for Jin Ji. "How could he think of sacrificing you? Damn it!"
"You shouldn't be too upset, brother. It's true that I'm my father's son, and he's an immoral suspect. So, we shouldn't be angry for this reason."
"You're crazy, huh?! Didn't you say your father was innocent?!"
Jin Ji was silent for a moment. He breathed a little long. Then he said, "although it is true, I have no proof. Besides, now my dad's dead, so it's all gonna be for nothing." Aye! Actually, Jin Ji's father had been in prison. However, after news of his case returned to the surface and implicated his son, Jin Ji's father was severely stressed and decided to commit suicide. Jin Ji could not see the body of his father, the man from the prison only sent video of the cremation process and also gave his ashes to Jin Ji.
"Hey, nothing is in vain. Your father died in an accused state, he must have felt unsettled, as well as your mother!"
Mammy? I haven't visited him in a long time. Thought Jin Ji. It had been about two months Jin Ji had not visited his mother's ash house. Actually he could have visited while throwing his father's urn of ashes at his mother's house of ashes. However, because of the news that exists lately, Jin Ji so can not go anywhere, so Seok Woo is the one who put his father's urn of ashes next to his mother's urn.
"Sister, I'm tired, want to rest," said Jin Ji limp. He got out of his place, and went to his room, leaving Seok Woo who was looking at him anxiously.
While feeling anxious, Seok Woo's phone rang. He was about to turn it off thinking that it was from the Director of his agency. However, it did not so he did when he saw the number that contacted him did not have a name, alias is not stored in his contact.
Possibly creditors? But I've paid for everything. Seok Woo accepts the call, fearing that he would not lift his creditors as he has not paid off the debt.
"Yoboseo?"
"Mr Seok Woo, can you come here? I'm in front of the officetel building."
"Who is this?" Seok Woo was astonished, he thought that the one who contacted him was the creditor.
"Chae Eun."
Seok Woo's eyes are rounded. "Director Chae Eun?!"
"Yes, come down!"

"Hey, Jessica. Do you think that knife mouth is gonna be okay?" Hyunwoo asked, sounding worried.
Jessica looked at Hyunwoo suspiciously. "What's this about? Since when have you been worried about Chae Eun? Don't you always fight?"
"Eihhh, even so but, still we are partners for a long time, so it's only natural that I show concern. After all, there are a lot of cruel comments about Chae Eun in the business environment, so .. I'm a little anxious."
"Oh, so you're worried because you're his partner so the news about Chae Eun will affect the credibility of your company, right?! You want to be like any other company that unilaterally decides to cooperate with Chae Eun so as not to be affected by this news, huh?!" Deaf Jessica, making Hyunwoo stunned.
"Oh so right are you worried about Chae Eun? What's the matter? Are you trying to get attention in his eyes, huh?" Terka Jessica, making Hyunwoo wrong.
"N-that's not it.., I.., I just." Hyunwoo. Women are really scary, the intention of wanting to ask Chae Eun's situation but, instead, it leads to allegations of cheating.
"Chae Eun that you don't have to worry about. He was a disheveled man and a bully, so he would not allow himself to be bullied! Understood?" Obviously Jessica. Jessica was worried about her best friend, too. However, Jessica knew that Chae Eun would be able to handle it. "He even fought the president of Hwang to defend me" Jessica murmured.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, just remembering the past" Jessica replied. President Hwang? You could say the 50-year-old man who is the president of the construction company is the reason for Chae Eun and Jessica's relationship. At that time, Jessica was still Chun Bong, and she was an employee at the company of President Hwang. The old man often abused Jessica. Until one day Jessica began to get tired, and finally reported the immoral actions to the authorities. However, for some reason, after the report happened, the police instead named Jessica as a defamation suspect. An upset Jessica finally demands justice on the president of Hwang while the president of Hwang is meeting with some of his colleagues.
Most of her colleagues think Jessica just wants attention, and get money from the president Hwang. However, Chae Eun who was also there, had another opinion. He reached out his hand to Jessica, and started rebuking the president of Hwang, even Chae Eun's words really embarrassed the president of Hwang. At that time, Chae Eun was new to the business world, and she needed the support of President Hwang. However, due to defending Jessica back then, everything was destroyed. Jessica felt guilty at the time but, Chae Eun always told her that she would be fine without the support of a perverted old man like President Hwang. However, Chae Eun says that if Jessica stays responsible, then she has to work for him. Jessica decides to work with Chae Eun, and she also changes her name to Jessica to forget her past.
He said he was going to be okay, and he proved it. So, I guess even this time she'll be fine. I know it. Think Jessica.

Seok Woo gets into Chae Eun's car. There she is immediately presented with a parcel by Chae Eun.
"Forku?" Ask Seok Woo.
"For Jin Ji." Tukas Chae Eun's. Makes Seok Woo feel embarrassed.
"So, director Chae came here just to give you this?" Ask Seok Woo.
"Please take care of Jin Ji. I'm trying to fix everything, so make sure to always take care of it. Don't let him feel alone. You should always be with him. If you need anything, you can contact me, I will send you everything Jin Ji needs," Chae Eun replied at length, leaving Seok Woo speechless in a thousand languages.
So, he's just here to ask me for help, huh? It's getting weird, aren't they just marrying contracts? But why does he care so much? Ahhh stupid! The news also involved his name, so of course he should care. Yeah, that must be so. Thought Seok Woo.
"Of course without Director Chae mintapun I would definitely do that for Jin Ji." Thanks to Jin Ji, my family was freed from creditors, and my family life became better, so of course I had to repay the favor.
Before meeting Jin Ji, Seok Woo was just a waitress, and her father had problems with creditors before leaving the house. So that his family who knows nothing becomes a focus. Seok Woo does a lot of work, one of which is being Jin Ji's manager, at that time Jin Ji was not famous, so it was easy for Seok Woo to do 3 jobs at once. However, one day Seok Woo collapses from exhaustion, so Jin Ji asks Seok Woo to quit his other job, instead Jin Ji says he will strive for success so that Seok Woo can come to feel his success materially.
"Is that so? Then, thank you, Mr. Seok Woo."
"Did?!" Seok Woo was shocked when he heard the thanks from Chae Eun's mouth.
He's not as rough as he looks. Thought Seok Woo.
