Chapter 1397. Making A Deal (2)
Kang Jin-Ho crumpled the newspaper and threw it in the corner of his cell.
He pressed his forehead against the wall and closed his eyes.
You were being foolish...
The discarded newspaper had an article about Choi Yeon-Ha. The cultural impact from that incident must’ve been earth-shattering, considering that the news article took a prominent spot in the society pages instead of the entertainment section.
Since traditional newspapers were usually more conservative than their online counterparts, her bombshell declaration must've raised one hell of a fuss on the outside.
Kang Jin-Ho chuckled helplessly. This event reminded him of how isolated he had become from the rest of society. Things must be in utter chaos right now on the outside, yet in here, everything seemed so peaceful.
“My lord. It’s not looking good.”
“We’re doing our best, Assembly Master, but it’s not as easy as we thought it’d be. Maybe we... No, don’t mind me, sir.”
“Jin-Ho, are you okay?”
Faces and voices of the people who came to see him in this prison flitted in and out of his mind.
“Don’t worry about it and just focus on getting out of here, Mister Jin-Ho. But... But even if you can’t get out of here soon, you still have nothing to worry about. Finding another guy who will meet my standards will be nearly impossible, after all.”
Kang Jin-Ho couldn’t get the memories of Choi Yeon-Ha forcing a smile on her stiff face out of his mind.
