June paced back and forth in front of Lena. She was still awfully quiet, not wanting to give anything away.
However, June was already convinced.
It was her-Lena Park.
"At first, I couldn't believe it," he started off. "I had been looking for the 'head' of Phoenix for so long. A lot of people knew about 'him,' but they never knew his identity."
He stopped pacing and stood right in front of her. "Turns out, it's because we were looking for a 'she' instead.""However, I still wasn't sure. But then, I started piecing the puzzle together."
"First," he started off. "You're awful amount of money. I knew that Minjun was rich; however, he surprised me every time. He said it was because both of his parents owned a company. Yet, this was on another scale. Minjun had everything before it even came out."
"Another reason that solidified it for me was when you helped me with my dilemma regarding Phoenix. Nobody would have been able to help me get out of it so easily—yet you did," he continued.
"Third," he continued, kneeling in front of Lena. The woman was surprised, and she scooted further away from him. However, June held onto her arm and turned it to show her tattoo.
Lena quickly retreated it, but June had already seen it.
"This tattoo," he chimed, standing once again. "I thought I was losing my mind when I first saw it. I knew it looked familiar-the logo of Phoenix."
June shook his head in disbelief at how he was able to find out it was Phoenix's logo. When he was taking a dump and using a 'Sanipoo,' he was reminded of what Lena's tattoo looked like.It seemed like the 'Sanipoo' was more useful than he had expected.
Lena finally lifted her head, glaring at June.
"Those aren't solidifying facts," she smirked. "What? You inferred I was the owner of a multi-billion company just because I'm rich and have this tattoo?"
"You're not as smart as I made you out to be."
She stood and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I knew I had a bad feeling about you. Why are you even looking for the 'head' of Phoenix in the first place?"
June shrugged. "Honestly, at first, I wasn't really interested. However, after knowing everything they did to me as a trainee, I wanted to bring the company down."
"However, I'm past that now. In fact, it seems like it's 'Phoenix' who wants to find me."
"What are you talking about?" Lena asked with a frown.
"Confusing, right?" June asked. "Let's just say that I'm more involved than this than you would expect."
"I don't care," Lena sighed. "You're talking to the wrong person."
"You can't convince me otherwise," June said, nonchalantly observing his nails.
Lena bit her lip in frustration. She had hidden her identity for so long. Only her husband and their trusted workers knew about it-and that was the reason why they grew apart in the first place. However, someone actually found out on their own?
She sighed and massaged the bridge of her nose. "What do you want?" she asked.
A small smirk made its way to June's face. "Finally," he muttered. "You've admitted to it."
Lena crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Well, you're a stubborn piece of shit. You've already made up your mind."
June nodded. "You're right about that."
Lena shook her head in disbelief. "Pathetic," she muttered. "Is that the reason why you became close with Minjun and my mom, huh? Have you known all along?"
"I even gave you the benefit of the doubt, but you're using my son to get to me, huh?"
June frowned. "You're talking nonsense."
Lena smirked. "Why else would you get close with Minjun?"
June shook his head. "I became close with Grandma and Minjun before I even knew."
"Ah, I see," Lena sarcastically said. "You just happened to become close with them without thinking of the bigger picture, huh?"
"Yes," June said. "That's exactly what happened."
Lena frowned, glaring at June and pointing at him with her index finger.
"So, you're telling me-you were able to deduct all of those from the reasons you told me a while back? Just because I have a lot of money and have this tattoo? I could be a fan of Phoenix for all you know!"
June sighed and sat on the bed. "You might want to sit down for this one."
"No," Lena deadpanned. "Tell me the real reason why you were able to realize why I was the owner of Phoenix."
June pursed his lips and leaned against his hands, positioning them behind his back on the bed. Then, he recalled the exact moment when he came to an epiphany.
He couldn't believe it. In fact, he still felt it was ridiculous up until today.
It even seemed like the universe was teasing him.
All along, they had been connected.
"I was here," June said, causing Lena's eyebrows to furrow even further. "The other day, I was here."
Lena frowned and massaged the bridge of her nose. "I knew it," she muttered. "There was a faint scent in my office. You fucking went there and went through my files? How low could
you go?"
"Fuck, I ought to kill you," she continued to mutter. "Nobody has disrespected me this way
"Listen to me," June firmly said, causing her to halt.
Lena pursed her lips before sighing impatiently, gesturing for him to continue.
"I didn't go through your files. I know my boundaries. Again, that isn't the reason why I found
out."
"Then, what?" Lena exclaimed. "Stop going around in circles."
"It's because of the photo I found above your door."
Lena froze, her eyes widening in realization.
"Your family portrait," June continued. "It had you, Grandma, and your dad, I presume."
"Your dad is the reason why I found out. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I knew right away."
"The original 'head' of Phoenix."
"Mr. Klin Ing."
