Epilogue, retribution (3)
Another year has passed.
News was broadcast from cell phones carried by people and TVs installed in various locations.
[Two years have already passed since the new regime declared war on the ‘Golden Gate’. In the meantime, many powerful people, starting with the Taeyang Group, were revealed to be members of the Golden Circle, and more than a hundred criminals, including clients, perpetrators, and members of the Golden Circle who could be said to be behind them, were brought to justice. People say: The truth is uglier than expected. However, in times like these, the Republic of Korea must remember this incident, which will remain a painful memory, and prevent it from recurring.]
It was a channel known for bombarding facts.
The anchor spoke rather strongly.
[Despite the fact that his guilt has been clearly revealed, Taeyang Group Chairman Byung-ho Yoon is still appealing to this day in order to lessen the cost of his crimes. We must say that this unscrupulous behavior is wrong, and we must no longer stand by and face the problems that are eroding this society. Golden circles are cancerous lumps that originate from neglect. Please keep in mind that only consistent interest and constructive criticism can fix our society. Lastly, we will conclude the news with an interview with ‘Prosecutor Kang Dong-cheol.’]
The screen has changed.
Kang Dong-cheol appeared.
Now known as a star prosecutor, he still spoke with a cold face.
[If you commit a crime, you will be punished. At the very least, we will strive to create a society in which people who have lived honestly can feel proud of themselves and where justice and justice are accepted. Oh, and just in case, those who have not yet been punished in connection with the Golden Circle, don’t worry, they are off the prosecutors’ radar. If you have committed a mistake that deserves punishment, the day will come when you will meet me in person.]
With this incident.
The prosecution’s internal evaluation has changed slightly.
Although it still has a reputation as a cow-killing knife, it has a reputation for being somewhat cruel to criminals.
[I hope criminals will live in fear.]
* * *
A whopping three years have passed.
Hyunmin Yoon was still in a mental hospital.
Even when he was first admitted to a mental hospital, there was an unexpected anticipation in his mind.
‘My father is not a man to be taken lightly. No matter what Hyunsung Kim has prepared for you, he will crush it all and solve all your problems. There is no way Taeyang Group will collapse like this. ‘A conglomerate ranked third in the business world in Korea should not collapse like this.’
Denied reality.
Even though I heard about Kim Hyun-sung’s plan, I brainwashed myself into thinking that my future would not be bleak.
Crunch crunch.
I didn’t skip any meals.
This is a long game.
Seeing Kim Hyun-seong happy at his successful revenge, I wanted to show him as a sane person until the end.
But there were limits to the effort.
A year passed as if my hopes were shattered, and from then on, I had to accept the fact that my father really couldn’t save me three years ago. I felt terrible psychological pain. For men who enlist in the military, time seems to have stopped for about two years, but the space where Yoon Hyun-min lived was a hospital room where nothing was allowed except breathing. A feeling of maddening anxiety came over me. In the frozen flow of time, the worry that his father might fail suddenly arose.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dawn.
My thoughts changed.
In the morning.
‘No, no, no, absolutely not. ‘Father will definitely keep his promise.’
At lunch.
‘Can I trust a person called my father? You abandoned me anyway. If you had planned to protect me until the end, you wouldn’t have sent me to a mental hospital even if it meant the Taeyang Group collapsing. That must have been the father I knew.’
In the evening.
‘Let’s believe in our father. There’s no other way.’
At dawn.
‘… … ‘Can I trust my father?’
My mind went back and forth.
I had the urge to commit suicide dozens of times a day, but I couldn’t let go of my attachment to life, feeling like I was grasping at straws. It was all thanks to Kim Hyun-seong. He looked straight at himself and spoke of revenge. He wanted to survive somehow, even if only to show off to Kim Hyun-seong.
I looked for medicine every day.
I lay in the hospital room with a dazed mind, imagining the future when I got out.
‘First, go to Kim Hyun-seong… … .’
Plans came one after another.
I was happy just imagining it.
Whenever I imagined trampling on Kim Hyun-seong and taking revenge on him, I looked into empty space and grinned. The world of imagination was the only way he could breathe. He didn’t even realize how much time was passing, and he closed his eyes and opened them again and again. The only way to estimate time was to have the food tray refilled like it was the first time and to ask the doctor questions.
It was like that that day too.
I asked the doctor, trying hard to keep my mind from fading due to the medicine he was administering.
“… … How much time has passed?”
No answer came back.
Still, sometimes.
There were times when he blurted out an answer that would guess the time, so Yoon Hyun-min had no choice but to cling to this moment.
Slowly, my eyes closed.
I need to hear an answer.
I don’t want to fall asleep like this.
In the end, I let go of the string of consciousness that I barely held on to.
It was then.
Was it because they thought Hyunmin Yoon had lost his mind?
Beyond my blurred consciousness, I could hear the conversation between the doctor and the nurse.
“Anyway, what will happen to this patient in the future? Although three years have already passed, the chairman who promised to visit his son has also been ruined. Even if you get out of the mental hospital, you will be sentenced to life in prison and will rot in prison for the rest of your life. There is no answer, there is no answer. “You are paying for your sins in a truly terrible way.”
“Iknow, right. Still, I don’t feel sorry for him.”
“That’s right.”
A voice moving away.
Just like that, Yoon Hyun-min lost his mind.
* * *
My eyes brightened.
Cold sweat drenched my entire body.
With memories remaining vague beyond his consciousness, Hyunmin Yoon ran to the door with a pale face.

Bang bang bang!
“Open the door, open the door!”
Bang bang bang!
“Is it true that Taeyang Group went bankrupt? You f*cking bastards. “Anyone can come and say anything!”
The voice echoed throughout the space.
It was a meaningless sound.
There must have been someone guarding the hallway, but no matter how much I shouted, there was no response.
I shouted for an hour.
When his voice no longer came out, Hyunmin Yoon staggered back to his seat.
dump.
“… … ah.”
I felt dizzy.
Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet collapsed and I felt as if the ceiling was falling down.
I lasted 3 years.
My father said he would rescue me after three years, so I swallowed the pain in this ridiculous situation. But now the hope of going out has disappeared. The only person who can save him is his father, the chairman, and if the Taeyang Group is ruined, who can deal with Kim Hyun-seong?
No more.
I had no hope of living.
I felt like the nerve I was barely holding on to was being let go.
“… … okay. In the end, everything goes your way. I lost everything, and I can’t go back to being the old Yoon Hyun-min. by the way. Not this though. “I can’t suffer here for the rest of my life like you intended.”
My eyes were bloodshot.
I chattered my teeth.
Fear surged like crazy, but only one thought spread like cancer cells in Yoon Hyun-min’s head.
death.
It was the only escape.
If I had to live here for the rest of my life, I would rather choose the only refuge I could choose for myself.
Far away.
“Sigh.”
I bit my tongue.
A space where you can hang yourself and where there are no sharp metals.
The only way to commit suicide was to bite one’s own tongue.
My head, numbed by the drug, had no hesitation in my choice, and I covered my mouth with both hands even while blood was pouring out. In case his moans leaked out. Thinking that he might be treated by the medical staff who quickly rushed to the hospital, Yoon Hyun-min stubbornly covered his mouth with a red face.
however.
Suddenly.
“Hurry up and get treatment!”
“I bite my tongue!”
Only 3 seconds? 4 seconds?
It was truly a fleeting moment.
As soon as I bit my tongue, people who had not responded no matter how much I shouted burst open the door and came in.
I knew at that moment.
You can’t even choose death yourself.
It turned out that the people who did not react when I shouted were preparing to come running at any time from a blind spot that could not be seen through the window in the door. Hyunmin Yoon somehow covered his mouth to prevent his tongue from spitting out, but he was helplessly suppressed by the outstretched hands from all directions.
Sigh.
My head sank.
I stuck out my mouth and stuck out my tongue.
“Ah, ah, ah.”
The only thing I could do was open my mouth desperately and say, please let me die like this.
It was the only option for Yoon Hyun-min.
* * *
The situation has been resolved.
Thanks to the medical staff standing by in advance, Yoon Hyun-min was able to end the incident with his tongue cut out.
After treatment is over.
Someone approached the doctor.
Bae Seong-ho was always guarding the hospital, although he had not been nearby since the police were deployed.
“How is the patient’s condition?”
“Fortunately, there are no major problems. Although the tongue cannot be reattached, it is still not life-threatening. And due to this suicide attempt, patient Hyunmin Yoon is scheduled to be moved to a special ward to prevent unfortunate incidents like today. “Patient Hyunmin Yoon would be ‘safe’ there.”
Saying it’s safe.
We both knew what it meant.
Rather, because of his choice to commit suicide, Yoon Hyun-min will have to live under even more oppression until his death.
Bae Seong-ho laughed.
“thank you.”
I took a step back.
Hyunmin Yoon was stupid.
Did you believe that you could choose to commit suicide?
For the past three years, I have never once let go of the tension that this day will come.
Thanks to you, I am now at ease.
There is a precedent that he tried to commit suicide, so it will not be a problem no matter how Yoon Hyun-min is oppressed. That was the intention from the beginning. On one occasion, I intentionally pushed him to commit suicide.
Seongho Bae picked up his cell phone.
When he found Kim Hyun-seong’s name, he looked worried for a moment.
“Hmm.”
3 years ago.
Hyunseong Kim asked for this place and said this.
“From now on, please do not contact me unless a problem arises that I absolutely need to know about. The fact that there is no contact from you, and the money that is normally withdrawn every month. Because it will implicitly prove that there are no problems in our relationship. So, do your best to take care of Hyunmin Yoon. As long as Yoon Hyun-min is alive, you will never have to worry about money in your life.”
Kim Hyun-seong’s intention.
I noticed it right away.
Kim Hyun-seong tried to exclude Yoon Hyun-min from his life.
I knew that if I continued to cling to Yoon Hyun-min in the future, I would not be able to live the normal life I wanted.
This means accepting no news as good news.
Still, hesitation arose.
‘It would definitely be something that Kim Hyun-seong would like.’
Hyunmin Yoon failed to commit suicide.
Kim Hyun-seong, who once risked his life for Yoon Hyun-min’s downfall, was sure to be happy about Yoon Hyun-min’s situation.
Seongho Bae and Hyunseong Kim.
It was a one-sided relationship.
Bae Seong-ho wanted to please his employer, but after thinking about it, he quickly put his cell phone in his pocket.
“… … “There’s no need to do things for no reason.”
last few years.
While following Kim Hyun-seong, I realized something.
Kim Hyun-seong never said empty words.
If you do it, do it; if you don’t need it, you don’t need it.
Bae Seong-ho thought.
May you accept no news as good news.
He walked away and returned to his seat like always.
