When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 38 Her Voice

Baek Sa-eon let the dog bite the bag, then stepped on the dog's neck and subdued it.

Two strong men came panting and put a collar on the dog. One man asked palely:
"You, are you okay? Is the child injured..." 

"She almost died."

Hearing the nervous voice, Hee-joo felt a sense of comfort in her heart. Exhausted, she collapsed on his shoulder.

'Maybe it looks a bit rude...'

Although she had such thoughts for a short moment, she couldn't even move her fingers. 

Fortunately, Baek Sa-eon just silently comforted her young body.

"This dirty and expensive land is so dangerous, I really didn't expect it. Whose dog is it? Is it Chairman Joo's? Or Minister Han's?"

"I'm sorry."

The administrator lowered his head, looking very ashamed.

"Have we met before?" 

"What?"

"You look familiar...ah, this dog belongs to Representative Jang."

Baek Sa-eon pointed at the dog with his chin, but his eyes were fixed on the man in front of him.

The man's face flushed, but he couldn't say a word.

"Representative Jang is not a dog lover." 

"Please, please, I'm sorry."

Baek Sa-eon turned around coldly without saying anything more. Suddenly, his cheek was stinging.

"A dog can't hit you with its front paws."

He gently touched her cheek, which was swollen from being beaten by her mother.

Hee Joo was panting and exhausted. That was the side that was swollen from being beaten by her mother.

"You have to learn to fight back too." 

"......!"

"Whether it's your sister or your mother, you have to be ready to fight back in the future, no matter who the other party is."

He said this incestuous words without hesitation.

"The opportunity for revenge will always come."

She leaned on his shoulder, and the cold voice came through her body. 

"You are an ambitious person, but you live a low-key life like this." 

The body close to her made her feel warm and almost sleepy.

Perhaps because of this, the closer she got to home, the tighter Hee-joo held his collar.

'But I still have to get off...'

Hee-joo swallowed her sigh and twisted her body to get off the car.

Just as she was about to get off the car, the boy who was walking slowly picked her up again.

"......!"

Then he walked straight through the gate of Chairman Hong's house.

Hee-joo turned her head in surprise and looked back and forth at the gate and her brother.

"Happy birthday." 

"......!"

Unknowingly, the sunset had already set.

She stared at him as if nailed to the ground, but the boy stubbornly looked only forward. 

Baek Sa-eon looked up at the sunset sky and said coldly.
