HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 263: Moving Houses (1)

While Kang Ra-Eun was reaching the peak of her career shooting the latest Steel Man series film with the globally famous actor Lotier, there was also someone who was in the complete opposite situation. It was Kim Han-Gyo, whom Ra-Eun had awakened a sense of revenge for.

Han-Gyo had not even been able to partake in any public activities due to the myriad of allegations against him. He had been hiding in his own home while leaving the important duties to his chief secretary and his other close associates, while spending his days drowning himself in alcohol, tobacco and stress.

Today was no different. Jo Su-Hwang, one of Han-Gyo’s close associates, carefully entered Han-Gyo’s home. The chief secretary, who had visited Han-Gyo’s home with Congressman Jo Su-Hwang, waved a female housekeeper over and whispered to her.

“Where is the Congressman?”

“He’s been in his study ever since last night.”

Congressman Jo was shocked by the housekeeper’s answer.

“Has he not even been sleeping?” he asked.

“I believe he’s sleeping in the study...”

“He has a fully functioning bedroom, so why is he sleeping in the study?”

“I’m not sure either. The congressman has been acting very strange lately...”

Han-Gyo’s actions had been incomprehensible. His doctor and the people around him were considering it as one of the symptoms of his excessive stress. The other congresspersons who were still loyal to Han-Gyo were worried beyond belief.

Su-Hwang cautiously knocked on the study door.

“Congressman? It’s me, Jo Su-Hwang.”

There was no answer. Worried about if something had happened to Han-Gyo, he clenched the door handle tighter.

“Please excuse me.”

Su-Hwang opened the door. His and the chief secretary’s faces distorted. They were assaulted by the disgusting stench of tobacco and alcohol, and there Han-Gyo sat lifelessly in the thick of it. He couldn’t be described as anything but a bum.

“C-Congressman?” Su-Hwang cautiously called out to him.

Han-Gyo drowsily opened his eyes and asked, “What are you... doing here?”

“I’m here because I’ve been worried about you. Forget that; what is going on here? Have you been getting any sleep?”

“...Sleep? How can I possibly get any sleep when it doesn’t come to me?”

Han-Gyo had to rely on alcohol because he was suffering from severe insomnia. Only with the help of alcohol could he forget even a little of the current situation he was in. He was escaping from reality, something the Kim Han-Gyo that Ra-Eun knew would never do. That was how far she had driven him into a corner.

Ra-Eun had told him that she would push him over the edge the moment that he was at his peak. At first, Han-Gyo did not believe her words spoken as the masked woman. No one could have possibly imagined that a young woman would bring a highly influential politician like him to ruin. However, her words were slowly becoming reality, and that reality was gradually choking him to death.

“Cough...!”

Han-Gyo coughed dryly several times, to which Su-Hwang and the chief secretary were horrified.

“C-Congressman!”

“Are you alright?”

Blood had come out of his mouth.
