#103. Don’t Run Away
2024.05.24.
Assemblyman Kwak was the most talked about candidate for the next presidential election.
Many citizens even evaluated Assemblyman Kwak as someone they could trust and leave the Republic of Korea to.
If it weren’t for this controversy, Assemblyman Kwak would have won the next presidential election very easily.
Lee Hyun smiled faintly as he looked at the surprised Yerin.
“It must be because I provoked someone who shouldn’t have been touched.”
Yerin’s eyes widened even more at that.
“Could it be that this article was published by Lee Hyun?”
Lee Hyun didn’t answer Yerin’s question with a yes or no, but that was the answer.
“When did you start preparing?”
“Since the moment you told me you were breaking up?”
“Yes?”
Lee Hyun took the tablet PC from Yerin and placed it on the table.
Then he closed the distance between them and approached her.
“Actually, I had been gathering information about Assemblyman Kwak even before that. If he keeps interfering with my life like this, I have to get rid of him.”
He was spitting out such cruel words so affectionately.
“I didn’t think you would break up for no reason. Of course, after meeting with Chairman Cha, you must have made up your mind to do so, but I thought there was another reason.”
And after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Seo-yoon was there at the end.
He wanted Seo-yoon to feel what it would feel like to lose the most precious and meaningful thing in life.
That’s why he reported to the press about the corruption that Assemblyman Kwak had committed.
“Now that I’ve confirmed Assemblyman Kwak’s true face, Chairman Cha won’t be able to force me to get engaged anymore.”
Ye-rin just stared at Lee Hyun, who had confidently said those words.
Even at the moment when she had been trying to leave Lee Hyun’s side,
he had been busily working to create a future where he could be with her. She
felt so sorry that she had only realized that now.
“I didn’t even know that Lee Hyun was preparing something like this… … .”
I just thought that Seo-yoon and I were getting engaged and were feeling weakly sad.
Lee Hyun wrapped his hand around Yerin’s waist and pulled her with a smile.
“Now that you know, that’s enough.”
“From now on, I will never leave you, Lee Hyun.”
Lee Hyun slowly lowered his face and gently kissed Yerin’s lips.
“I’ve always been yours.”
From the moment they met at the party and stole his heart until now.
Lee Hyun’s two eyes were focused solely on Yerin.
Yerin knew how big and serious his feelings were, so she slowly closed her eyes and whispered.
“I’m not as big as Lee Hyun, though.”
“… … .”
“I love you, sincerely.”
There was no reason to hide her feelings anymore.
“Actually… … .”
Yerin tried to speak but soon bit her lip.
“Tell me, comfortably.”
“I kept pushing you away because I thought we wouldn’t be able to continue because of the differences between our families.”
The corners of Lee Hyun’s lips rose in a curve at his honest words.
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
Lee Hyun gently grabbed Yerin’s hand and spoke in a firm voice.
“I hope you don’t think like that anymore. Mrs. Yoon loves you more than anyone else, and Chairman Cha will be the same.”
Yerin gained some confidence at Lee Hyun’s words.
“That could be possible, right?”
“Of course. Especially, Mrs. Yoon is not the type of person to oppose a woman I like. In fact, my mother seemed to have liked Han Yerin from the beginning.”
If that was the case, then it was really fortunate.
Yerin also tightened her grip on Lee Hyun’s hand. She
wasn’t going to run away, but was going to confront him directly now.
Even if the differences in the family were inevitable, she was going to work hard from now on to change what could be changed.

The employees had left the annex and the Jinheonjae
was quiet. Mrs. Yoon slowly took a sip of her steaming chamomile tea, looking very worried.
It was understandable because the story she heard from Secretary Choi a few days ago was so shocking.
“Recently, Chairman Cha called a secretary over.”
“I’m not sure, but I think that secretary submitted her resignation and told Director Cha Hyun that they should break up.”
“I think Chairman Cha may have exerted some unspoken pressure.”
This meant that Chairman Cha was not fond of Yerin and had driven a wedge between the two.
“I told you to respect Lee Hyun’s wishes.”
Nevertheless, it was true that she was very disappointed with Chairman Cha, who insisted that what she thought was right.
“Where else could you find a daughter-in-law as good as that child? Why would you oppose, oppose.”
She had simply liked Ye-rin from the beginning.
Not only her elegant attitude, but her clear, transparent eyes made people trust her.
The way her face quickly showed her expression when she asked a question was also cute and nice to Mrs. Yoon.
Since she had mostly met people who had a lot to hide and wore masks, Ye-rin’s innocence was so precious.
She had wondered what kind of family upbringing Ye-rin received and how she grew up to be so upright, but after meeting Chan-sook a few days ago, her curiosity was instantly resolved.
When she learned that Ye-rin was the little princess who first discovered Lee Hyun decades ago, she was so amazed that her whole body trembled. She
had a fleeting thought that maybe this was fate given to her by heaven.
She couldn’t just sit by and watch Chairman Cha come out and oppose such a well-matched couple.
Mrs. Yoon put the documents she had been staring at for a long time into a brown envelope and got up from her seat.
Her heart was very heavy as she walked to the study where Chairman Cha was.
Knock-
Knock- Chairman Cha’s voice was very bright because he knew that it was Mrs. Yoon who had knocked.
When he entered, Chairman Cha took his eyes off the documents he was looking at and got up from his chair.
“What are you doing up until this hour?”
“I have something to say.”
“Is that so? Sit here, hehe.”
Chairman Cha seemed very happy that Mrs. Yoon had come to see him.
It was understandable because ever since Chairman Cha and Lee Hyun had fought at Jinheonjae, Mrs. Yoon had always had a cold air about her.
She didn’t say more than a few words when he spoke to her, so Chairman Cha just watched her expression.
Mrs. Yoon handed Chairman Cha the brown envelope she had brought.
“What is this?”
“Chairman Cha, we’re getting a divorce.”
“What?” Chairman
Cha’s arm, which was about to reach out and receive the envelope of documents Mrs. Yoon was handing him, stopped in midair.
His eyes were empty as if he had lost the world.
“What, what on earth do you mean? Mrs. Yoon, did I upset you in some way?”
Chairman Cha sat up, trying to grab Mrs. Yoon’s hand.
However, Mrs. Yoon put down an envelope on the desk with a cold face and took her hand away.
Chairman Cha was really going crazy.
“No, divorce all of a sudden… .”
He couldn’t believe what was happening.
Since getting married, he had never looked at a woman other than Mrs. Yoon and had never made any excuses to be a flaw.
That’s why this divorce notice was so shocking.
“If I upset you in some way, I’ll fix it right away. Why are you suddenly doing this?”
“Chairman, I think we talked about respecting Lee Hyun’s opinion.”
“Mrs. Yoon, that… .”
“Chairman, you must have seen the article about Assemblyman Kwak that came out today, right?”
Chairman Cha’s face hardened once again.
Who would have thought that the person he had thought of as Lee Hyun’s perfect match had such a flaw?
No, to put it another way, where in the world is there a politician without flaws?
If only he could cover up those flaws, he would have been willing to join hands with Assemblyman Kwak and climb to a higher position.
However, now that the entire nation knows his ugly face, he couldn’t do that.
“I heard you called a secretary and told him to break up with Lee Hyun.”
“How, how could you…?”
“I was very disappointed in that.” As soon
as the word disappointment came out of Ms. Yoon’s mouth, Chairman Cha’s face filled with sorrow.
Chairman Cha also knew that there was no room for excuses.
He lowered his head.
“The two of them are such a great couple. You may not be cheering them on, but you are stepping in and trying to break them up?”
Ms. Yoon’s usually gentle voice had gotten louder.
That meant she was very angry.
“I just hope that Lee Hyun can be of some help in continuing the group….”
“A child with a father like Assemblyman Kwak would be a great help to Lee Hyun.”
Chairman Cha was left speechless by Ms. Yoon’s blunt words.
“If you can’t accept a secretary as your daughter-in-law, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Mrs. Yoon was planning to break up cleanly with Chairman Cha and accept Yerin as her daughter-in-law.
He had been secretly saying that he liked Yerin, but it was Chairman Cha who ignored that and kept trying to connect with Seoyoon.
In other words, it meant that he did not respect his opinion that much.
Because of his momentary misjudgment, he was in danger of losing not only his son but also his wife.
Chairman Cha realized that the situation was becoming very serious and immediately got up from his seat.
Then, without hesitation, he knelt on the floor.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Yoon. I was short-sighted.”
Mrs. Yoon’s eyes widened significantly when she saw him.
“It was all my greed. I know very well that it was wrong.”
Chairman Cha apologized sincerely.
“How can I make you feel better? Divorce is absolutely not allowed. I’d rather tell you to die.”
His desperate voice filled the quiet study.
At this moment, it was a sincere apology from a man to a woman, not a father.
