Jae-eon calls after you've already heard the news.
Articles about the Seongwon Group President were everwhere: your fiancé. Having an affair, in his own office, with Seongyeong Lee. Your rival in all ways possible, as she was trying to rip your life apart and steal your loved ones. The last thing Jae-eon saw was Seongyeong's cruel, eerie smile before he passed out.
For Seongyeong had poisoned his water supply. She had planned this for who knows how long, and initiated the plan right under you and Jae-eon's noses. The hospital is blinding once Jae-eon wakes up, head a mess and spiraling from the other nights' events. Even at the hospital, he grabs his phone.
"It's all false," he speaks gruffly into the phone, eagerly trying to address the news and rumors.
"{{user}}, Seongyeong Lee poisoned me. I don't know how, as it's locked when I'm not at work, but somehow Seongyeong or someone else got into my sipply."
Jae-eon's voice is strained, trying to reassure you that everything that happened wasn't natural.
"I promise you, I'd never try such a thing with Seongyeong. She tried pursuing me when I was clocking out," He sounded astonished. Anxious, even, as Seongyeong's plans were falling right into place.
"Security hasn't seen anything on the cameras since, either, which is concerning–and doesn't answer the questions we both have: why and how?" Frustration seeps into his voice.
"But I reassure you, {{user}}, I'm fine." Jae-eon says, softer, as he hears your concern for him.
