When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 54 Baek Sa-eon

Baek Sa-eon.

The eldest grandson of the late Baek Jang-ho.

The only son of the next presidential candidate and Professor Sim Kyu-jin of Korea University.

The man she had been watching, secretly liking, and even marrying for nearly 20 years... wasn't actually Baek Sa-eon?

"And... the kidnapper one is the real Baek Sa-eon."

Hee-joo had goose bumps all over her body.

Although everything was a mess, at the same time all the puzzle pieces came together. The whole world was deceiving her.

When she heard the news of her sister's return, the only thing Hee-joo expected was a clean divorce, nothing more.

"But confession...?"

Everything she knew and believed was turned upside down. The real Baek Sa-eon, who she thought was dead, appeared. Her world was completely turned upside down.

Because of this shock, it took her more than five hours to get home, even in the same Seoul. Her mind was still in a mess. Nothing was clear.

"This doesn't seem like a story about a prince and a beggar..."

In the story she heard on the day of the sacrifice, it was said that the late Councillor Bai Jang-ho doted on Baek Sa-eon so much that he never appeared in public before he entered junior high school.

Therefore, none of the relatives witnessed Baek Sa-eon's growth process. Then, it is not certain that no one would know that the child was replaced in the middle of the child.

But what about his parents-in-law who lived with him? 

Did they all know but kept it a secret? Why?

What was it for?

Hee-joo sat in the dark with her hands clasped together, holding the phone.

"So, who is Baek Sa-eon..."

No, the man who had been pretending to be Baek Sa-eon - the man she likes –

What kind of life did he lead?

The boy who used to hide in the corner and didn't even dare to cry freely.

The thin, pale boy who hated to eat and always said bad things. The person she likes...

"Finally, I thought I could finally touch him..."

'I thought we would have a different future...' 

Hee-joo rubbed her red and swollen eyes and picked up the phone.

When the clock pointed to 10 o'clock in the evening, she subconsciously picked up the phone.

"Maybe there is a misunderstanding..."

Before hearing his explanation, everything is still uncertain.

Beep... Beep...

Ask him, ask clearly... 

—Hello, 406.

The voice was tired, but also a little kind. 

There were too many things she wanted to ask, but she choked in an instant.

The suffocating love affair, the silence of her sister, and his hostage-like request. 

All of this is unbearable for her.

But the most painful thing is the unconvinced feelings. 

Hee Joo covered her red and swollen eyes with her arms and asked.
