Possessed 10 Million Actors-Chapter 134:

"That guy, without even realizing it, genuinely fell for the rich girl. He was supposed to pretend to have fun when they went somewhere together, but he ended up becoming genuinely happy."

"He was supposed to pretend to like her, but he ended up falling in love."

Kim Faith tightly closed his eyes. He cooled his heated eyes and slowly opened them again.

Then, he looked straight into Lee Hyemin's eyes and spoke.

"And an hour ago, he tried to break up with the rich girl who believed he was real.' He was supposed to say he was a fake.' But the moment he faced her, he couldn't say it. Instead, he confessed as his heart commanded."

"So here I am, standing here, confessing again. I did consider whether to hide it from you, but I can't lie to you anymore."

"Until now, my life has been nothing but lies but at this moment, I wanted it to be real for you."

****

In the script, Moon Hyemin' is supposed to hesitate for a while and then embrace the con artist, concluding the scene. In other words, it seemed unnecessary to rely on Kim Faith's memory anymore.

What is it?'

However, the scene doesn't shift. It seems like Kim Faith has something more to show.

The two stood silently for a while after that.

If it weren't for the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves or the eyes being blurry with tears, one could have thought time had stopped.

After a while of silence, Lee Hyemin, who had been silently watching Kim Faith, spoke with trembling lips.

"Uh, there was a child who lost her mother at the age of twelve."

It was the first complete sentence from Lee Hyemin.

It was surprising and slightly touching, but Kim Faith was astonished not only by that but also by Lee Hyemin's ability to skillfully divert the conversation, just as she had done a little while ago.

Whether it was the opening of her words or Lee Hyemin continuing to speak, it still felt somewhat awkward.

"Unlike someone else it was a child with a lot of money. One day, after losing her mother and being sad, her father brought in a young woman. She resembled her mother. She was a beautiful woman."

Despite trying to speak calmly, tears still welled up in Lee Hyemin's eyes.

After a brief pause where she couldn't continue, she finally gathered herself and spoke again.

"But that woman she only resembled on the outside; inside, she was different. That woman subjected the child to terrible things and made sure the child couldn't tell anyone about what happened to her. Just showing any sign of wanting to speak earned punishment throughout that evening."

"3 years, no, 4 years, the child had to endure it alone. Even when the father, who realized the woman's wrongdoing, kicked her out it was already long overdue. The cheerful, lively child from before died, and the child left was filled with fear and distrust towards people."

Kim Faith could also understand that the child' Lee Hyemin was talking about was herself.

Lee Hyemin took a slow, deep breath before continuing.

"The woman who tormented her disappeared, but the child couldn't speak. It was terrifying every time she tried to speak. I don't know the reason. It was just scary to speak."

"Fearing others and not trusting them, the child tried to live her whole life inside her room. But because of her father, who looked at her with sadness while bringing in women, the child couldn't do that. Even though the father who brought in the woman was hated she was still the only family left for the child."

Lee Hyemin glanced towards the back for a moment.

Then, after taking a few breaths, she spoke with difficulty.

"The child who left her room found everything terrifying. The servants were scary, and the doctors who came every day were also scary. So, the child deliberately had to act tough and strong. Like a timid dog barking loudly."

"One day, a man appeared. Honestly, he didn't give a favorable first impression. Despite having a charming appearance and a handsome smile, he was like the other men who approached the child, busy showing off and flaunting himself."

"So, as always, the child ignored him. Ignored all his attempts to approach her, turning him away every time. Then suddenly, he confessed. The first confession the child ever received, with a feeling so pure."

Tears streamed down Lee Hyemin's cheeks. However, the more she spoke, the more memories flooded back, and the corners of her eyes curved upwards, forming a smile.

Shaking off the teardrop clinging to the corner of her mouth, Lee Hyemin continued.

"The child accepted the confession without knowing what to think. From my memory, both the man and the child were bewildered. Somehow, the child ended up continuing to meet him and got her first boyfriend since birth."

"The child who didn't know what it meant to be in a relationship did many things with him. They walked by the lakeside, went to cafes, visited the aquarium, and even tried street tteokbokki."

"And they walked hand in hand at night. Like in books, there was no kiss, but they did hold hands."

Kim Faith couldn't hold back a sigh at Lee Hyemin's words and let out a deep breath. Tears, which he had eventually suppressed, flowed down, perhaps due to the expression of frustration. The happy moments they had shared over the past three months flashed through his mind. It was the brightest moment.

After wiping away the flowing tears, Kim Faith focused his eyes and looked at Lee Hyemin. Then, Lee Hyemin continued with a smile mixed with sadness.

"The first date. On the day we went to the lakeside, the truth was, the child had hurt her foot the day before. Despite not being able to walk properly, she endured it and walked along. We laughed, took pictures, and enjoyed ourselves."

"On the day we went to the cafe, the child knew that drinking milk would upset her stomach. However, she smiled and drank the milk-based drink recommended by her boyfriend. That night, the child couldn't sleep because of a stomach ache. Of course, she didn't tell her boyfriend about it."

"The street tteokbokki was the spiciest. The child really couldn't eat spicy food. Nevertheless, she forced herself to eat it while watching her boyfriend enjoy it. It was so spicy that she ended up having to go to the emergency room."

"There might be things that the child couldn't eat or were uncomfortable with, and her boyfriend probably didn't know. It was a small secret only known to the child."

She wanted to ask why she didn't say it, but for now, it was more important to listen to Lee Hyemin's words to the end.

"And an hour ago. The friend came to the child and confessed. It was a very wonderful confession, with all the memories we had together contained in an album."

"Not long after that, the boyfriend confessed to the child again. He revealed who he really was, how he had lived, and that meeting me was just because of her father's request."

"The process of becoming boyfriend with the child was all a lie.'"

Lee Hyemin smiled lightly, almost like a bitter smile. Kim Faith shook his head at the sincerity of the confession, feeling that even though she spoke the truth, the sins committed were too great for forgiveness.

But then, a miracle happened.

"But I I don't think the moments when you laughed with me were lies."

"?"

"As you said, you really like me. That's something you can't hide."

""

"You talked as if you were a great con artist, but you're just a fool inexperienced in love. You don't even know what the other person likes or dislikes for sure."

Kim Faith looked puzzled by Lee Hyemin's gradually brightening voice. Lee Hyemin chuckled at that expression.

"Look at this. You don't know anything, right?"

""

"If you had hidden the fact that you deceived me, I might have been really disappointed in you. But since you believed me and confessed first I'll believe in you too."

After finishing her words, Lee Hyemin smiled gently. Kim Faith, as if in disbelief, raised his head and looked at Lee Hyemin.

Kim Faith took a step towards Lee Hyemin. Then, instead of trying to embrace her as he had dreamed, he hesitated and stopped.

Not yet.'

He didn't have the right to be happy. After all, he was the one who had lived by deceiving others. Even though he couldn't undo everything, to walk with her, he needed to atone for his mistakes.

With traces of tears and a bright smile mixed on his somewhat comical face, Kim Faith said, looking incredibly happy.

"100 days from the day I first confessed to you, two weeks ago."

"Yes. But?"

"By that day, I'll return all the wealth I've earned through scams. I think that's the only way I can properly face you."

As Lee Hyemin looked at herself intently, Kim Faith grabbed Lee Hyemin's shoulders and finished speaking.

"So, on February 16th, at 6 p.m. Let's meet again at the Nonhyeon-dong restaurant where we first met. I'll prepare myself with at least the minimum qualifications to meet you and come to see you."

""

"Promise me."

In response to those words, Lee Hyemin seemed to want to say something, but eventually, with a faint smile that seemed to convey understanding, she nodded her head.

Having confirmed the answer, Kim Faith hurriedly ran to his car. To return all the money he scammed, it might be tight, so he was in a hurry.

It was such a fortunate day. He had received partial approval from the chairman for his relationship with Lee Hyemin, and he had been acknowledged by her despite revealing everything.

Really, it couldn't get any better than this.

Kim Faith immediately got into his car and started the engine.

I can't return it openly, so I'll have to secretly arrange for it, I guess.'

Kim Faith let out a refreshing sigh. It felt like he was expelling all the depression that had built up over the past few weeks.

The car moved forward rapidly, and the refreshing night air flowed in through the open window.

The past few weeks had been so frustrating, but he thought it was for the sake of this refreshing feeling now. With that in mind, he felt like he could do it two, no, three times over.

But What about all the money I returned?

Boom!

The headlights went out, and the eerie horn blared loudly. A massive truck was coming towards him. It didn't stop. He couldn't avoid it.

The truck approached closer and closer. Just before the collision of the two, in that fleeting moment. What crossed Kim Faith's mind was

We promised to meet at the restaurant on February 16th'

If he died, he would be lying again.
