"It's not the time for you to do this to me. You should immediately apologize to that woman and ask her to come back. I'm sure she'll understand you."

"I am a child born out of wedlock."

"What?"

"A child born out of wedlock, from the scandal of a stupid conglomerate."

A child out of wedlock? Lisa wrinkled her forehead, not understanding why the man suddenly said that to her. Then, what's the connection? Suddenly Lisa's eyes widened as if she remembered something. It turns out that the reason this man's proposal was rejected was because of that origin issue.

"Perhaps..."

"That's right. No family would accept an illegitimate child as their son-in-law. I also don't want to be called a husband born out of wedlock by that woman."

Jungkook calmly and honestly told her the reason for separating from Shin Hee.

Perhaps he could move this woman's heart by telling her the truth.

"What kind of nonsense is that? Just because of that trivial matter, your relationship was opposed and you had to separate like this?"

"For us, this is not a trivial matter."

Although Jungkook looked calm, Lisa couldn't act like that. She looked at Jungkook with wide eyes. In her opinion, Jungkook's story was completely absurd and unbelievable. Lisa seemed to feel angry and upset in place of Jungkook.

"That's outrageous. Then, you just shut up and give up?"

"There are people who love her more than me. Besides, I also want Shin Hee to live a happy life. If I don't go with you, Shin Hee will feel uncomfortable too."

Jungkook again said honestly. For Shin Hee, there was another man who loved Shin Hee much more than him.

"Hm, Jeon Jungkook-ssi."

"Aren't you going to help me? I wish you would go with me."

The man asked politely. The man who had been very self-centered, liked to act as he pleased, yet was cunning like a fox. If it was like this, surely this woman could not refuse him.

Lisa is not a stupid person. But she's also not heartless enough to refuse his request.

Although she can't forgive Jungkook's actions in this situation, it seems like she can understand Jungkook's position.

"You're smart, too."

The woman who seemed to be muttering to herself looked at Jungkook straight. Her face looked as if she was thinking about something. It turns out that this woman is indeed not a stupid woman. This also turned out to be a plus in Jungkook's eyes. Then, there was the sound of Jason's breathing which seemed to interrupt their conversation.

That's right, it turns out that this person also doesn't really agree with his friend's plan.

"Are you sure you won't regret it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Because in my opinion, just letting that woman go would be really stupid."

"Shin Hee wanted all of this. And I want to do this for her too. Therefore, I need your help."

Lisa sighed in despair and Jungkook who finally got what he wanted smiled inwardly. This woman... She was smart and brave, but she was weak at heart and easily felt sorry for others.

Jason glanced at Jungkook's eyes that were shining in the rearview mirror and shook his head slowly. So quietly that Lisa who was with them didn't notice.
