Chapter 55 : What I Do Is My Business

___________________________________

"H-He's my relative..."

Hana panicked under Jungkook's gaze, "He used to treat me pretty well... Even though he made a mistake, his life will be ruined if he really goes to jail for three years. Jungkook Oppa, please give him a chance to turn over a new leaf..."

"I gave him the chance five years ago."

"He's the one who insisted on going down this path," Jungkook said coldly.

"But my parents are gone. As for Oh Sehun,"

Hana lowered her head, not daring to look at Jungkook. "He's considered my half-relative..."

Jungkook's thin lips curled into a sneer. Family?

Back then, Oh Jungse was willing to acknowledge this distant relative of the Chou family, but he probably had impure motives.

Otherwise, why did they not acknowledge each other earlier or later, but only after the Jeon family's chip was successfully developed?

"The law will decide how to deal with Oh Sehun," he said calmly. "You can't just plead for him."

"But as long as Jungkook Oppa is willing to settle this outside of court, the law won't find Sehun guilty!"

Hana seemed to have thought of something as she said, "Ever since Park Lisa came back, Jungkook Oppa has been more and more indifferent to me. If Park Lisa were to come and beg you today, would Jungkook Oppa agree?"

Jungkook's face darkened. "She wouldn't do that."

"But Jungkook Oppa didn't pursue the matter with the Kim family back then. Wasn't it because of Park Lisa?"

Hana's gaze fell on the half-glass of pomelo juice on the coffee table, and her heart grew even more bitter. "Jungkook Oppa has never eaten pomelo since he was young. It's just that when we went to the Park family's house for a meal, Park Lisa casually said that she liked fresh pomelo juice the most, and Jungkook Oppa has always remembered that since. I'm sure that Jungkook Oppa prepared this cup of pomelo juice for Park Lisa, but did she ever appreciate it?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red. "Park Lisa might've liked Jungkook Oppa before, but she stopped liking you a long time ago. If she really did like you, would she have faked her death and disappeared for five years? In those past years, you've suffered so much for her. No matter how much you've sacrificed for her, was it useful? Was it worth it?"

Jungkook's face turned even colder, and his dark eyes were as cold as ice. "What I do is my business. You don't need to care."

Hana knew that she had angered Jungkook. At this moment, the pressure around him was at its lowest, and there was a terrifying sense of alienation.
