Chapter 70: Do you really think so?

The day after President Yu tested Itaegyeom and had a conversation with Im Seunghyun, Yoo Eunho visited the hospital where Yoo Yeon Seo had been hospitalized.

“To be honest, it’s hard to say anything about Yeon Seo’s condition... It’s very unusual.”

His visit was so important that even the hospital director came to see him.

The professors who were in charge of Yoo Yeon Seo’s treatment and mental health sat down and answered Yoo Eunho’s questions.

“It wouldn’t be surprising if she had serious brain damage from losing so much memory, but fortunately, there was nothing wrong with her brain. And her memory wasn’t impaired at all.”

She had paid a cheap price for surviving miraculously after being on the verge of death.

“But her personality was calm... Usually, people who don’t remember anything are confused and anxious. They sometimes make up false memories. Did she do that?”

“No.”

Yoo Eunho would have noticed if she had made up false memories.

“I see... We recommended hypnosis or drug-induced counseling to help her recover her memory, but she refused, saying she didn’t need it. How is she now?”

“She’s fine. She’s gradually recalling her old memories.”

“That’s good. Sometimes people can’t find them for a long time...”

Yoo Eunho looked at his watch. The time for his appointment was approaching.

“I feel like I came here for nothing.”Finndd the newest novels on n/o/velbin(.)com

“No, not at all. We were glad to see you.”

As he got up abruptly, the director and the professors also stood up.

“Please send my regards to the president.”

“Yes.”

Yoo Eunho left the hospital and headed to another place instead of going back to the company.

He sat in a cafe on the second floor and waited for someone. Some people recognized him and took pictures of him, but Yoo Eunho drank his coffee as if he was used to it.

“Yoo Eunho. You’re still popular, huh?”

“Baek Seojun. Long time no see.”

He smiled slightly at the person who sat down across from him.

The person called Baek Seojun crossed his arms and looked at Yoo Eunho with displeasure.

“What brings you here, busy man?”

“I missed you.”

“You? Bullshit.”

Baek Seojun, he was Yoo Eunho’s high school classmate.

The high school they attended was full of children from the upper class, so Baek Seojun was also a son of a police family.

He was smart and never missed the second place in the whole school. The first place was always Yoo Eunho, of course. He tried to beat him with all kinds of tricks and rivalry, but somehow they became close friends and kept in touch until now.

“You’ve become more rude since I last saw you. Is work hard?”

“Some greenhorn kid came with a lieutenant rank and turned out to be the next chief’s son, what do you think?”

Baek Seojun tilted his head back and looked at the sky. Yoo Eunho drank his coffee without a word.

“There are assholes who suck up to him and assholes who go crazy with jealousy. I can’t get my mind straight. I have to be tough to make them shut up. Hey, don’t you have that kind of thing?”

Yoo Eunho put down his cup and said.

“No.”

“Lucky you.”

Yoo Eunho chuckled. Who would dare to say anything to him? He was the grandson of President Yu, who cherished him and pushed him forward. He was called a genius since he was young and he never slacked off in his efforts, so he earned the trust of the company people.

“So, why did you call me?”

“I have something to ask you.”

“Why did you come all the way here for that? Just call me.”

Yoo Eunho ignored Baek Seojun’s grumbling and got to the point. He ticked like his younger brother when he was happy, and that’s why they were best friends.

“It’s about my mother’s suicide case.”

“Lee Heeseo?”

Yoo Eunho looked at Baek Seojun’s eyes without a word. He lowered his tail and corrected his words.

“Lee Heeseo, yes. Why do you bring her up?”

“Can you reinvestigate it? By yourself.”

“What?”

Baek Seojun leaned forward from his comfortable seat.

He knew that Yoo Eunho was not the kind of person who would say something like this without a reason.

“A case that was closed as a suicide? It’s been over ten years.”

“My brother said...”

Baek Seojun looked at Yoo Eunho with a bored expression as he mentioned his sister.

“I’ll think about it seriously, since you asked me. But I have to do my work too, so I can only do some research in my spare time.”

Baek Seojun sighed deeply.

Yoo Eunho’s suspicion was honestly an absurd thing.

The police had already conducted a thorough investigation several times, and reopening a closed case required a lot of determination from Baek Seojun.

‘This fox bastard...’

That’s why Yoo Eunho might have come to him. He was the son of the next police chief.

Anyway, he would do him a favor since he was his best friend, but he planned to get out of it after giving him some hints.

“Seojun. You can’t let anyone know.”

“I know.”

It was a case where someone boldly entered Chairman Yoo’s bedroom and killed his daughter-in-law.

If it was really a suicide, then the perpetrator, accomplice, and helper were all part of Juseong’s pillar, and they were not easy opponents.

“Eunho. But do you think your grandfather didn’t have the same doubt as you?”

“He must have.”

“Then why hasn’t he done anything until now?”

“Because he’s family.”

To be precise, not family, but blood.

To Chairman Yoo, his second grandson who had gone mad was more important than his dead daughter-in-law.

“That’s our grandfather’s only weakness.”

***

That’s why Yoo Eunho’s attitude was strange. But that didn’t mean it was weak.

Yoo Yeon Seo was the first to notice his subtle change, and when Yoo Yeon Seo doubted him, Yoo Geonmin and Choi Yujin also had a vague idea.

But the other relatives didn’t catch anything odd from Yoo Eunho’s attitude.

Even his grandfather and grandmother.

Yoo Yeon Seo, who still didn’t know that fact, was choosing his next work by skimming through the scripts and synopses that Itaegyeom had brought.

“How is it?”

“Not bad.”

“Really?”

Yoo Yeon Seo shook the script in his hand.

“Just this one.”

“Ah...”

Itaegyeom dropped his head. He had brought them with great ambition, but they were all rejected.

“Improve your eye for good scripts.”

“Hey, am I you?”

“You can’t be me. Go and practice more.”

You’re so full of yourself. Itaegyeom grumbled and leaned back on his chair.

“But it’s surprising. You chose that one.”

The script in Yoo Yeon Seo’s hand had ‘The Deprived People -Season 2-’ written on it.

“What, is there a problem? It’s a popular work, isn’t it? It’s already decided for season 2.”

“It is a popular work, the original is a famous webtoon. I really enjoyed it too...”

“Yeah? So what?”

“The original fans are concrete. They’re so extreme that they complained from the casting stage. Season 1 looked good to me, but the fans protested to the production company that it didn’t meet their expectations, and in the end, the writer and the director both quit. From season 2, the original author will participate as a writer and the director will change too. They’ll interfere a lot, won’t they?”

“Why do you care about that?”

“Yeah... What do you know.”

What would an original madman who drives both the fans and the haters crazy know.

Itaegyeom sighed.

“I thought you chose it because the original was famous, but you didn’t even know the original... Then why did you choose it?”

“Because I liked the role of a madman that I’ll play.”

Only a madman can understand a madman’s heart, something like that? Itaegyeom looked at Yoo Yeon Seo with a dumbfounded expression.

Of course, he changed his expression as soon as their eyes met.

‘The Deprived People’, or De.Pe for short, was a story about people who had something taken away from them by an unknown group. The main character was a man who had his death taken away, and it was a battle thriller where he moved to find his lost thing.

The role that Yoo Yeon Seo got was a man who had his sleep taken away and went crazy, ‘Lee Taeo’.

‘Lee Taeo had his sleep taken away and went crazy, and I had my dead mother’s ghost and went crazy.’

They were somewhat similar. Yoo Yeon Seo suddenly burst into laughter. He didn’t care even if Itaegyeom looked at him strangely.
