"You’ve been asking a lot of questions about me. Looking into my work history at other sites?"

Whose loose tongue spilled that?

Junyoung sighed briefly and met Yeongbok’s eyes. They were pitch black, so unreadable that she couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

Staring him down, she spoke.

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Jung Mansu."

At the direct accusation, Yeongbok’s jaw twitched. Junyoung continued.

"Kim Cheon-gyu, too. And probably others."

The silence between them was sharp, cut only by the whistling wind. After a long pause, Yeongbok finally spoke in a slow, deliberate tone.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"If it had been revenge, that would have made sense. Or if it had been about money. But it wasn’t either of those, was it? You were actually close to them."

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

"How do you feel?"

Ignoring his growing agitation, Junyoung tilted her head slightly, lips curling in a faint smirk.@@novelbin@@

"Jung Mansu ‘failed,’ didn’t he?"

Yeongbok’s tightly clenched jaw trembled. For the first time, his dark eyes flickered with something other than impassivity.

Junyoung, gripping her fists, lifted her chin. Her voice came out clear and unwavering.

"If that accident hadn’t happened, Jung Mansu would have paid off his debts within a few years. It wouldn’t have been easy, but he would’ve made it past that hurdle. His family would have endured, relying on each other. They would’ve gotten through it together."
