When Song Ji Hwan saw what Aera was doing, he ran with all the might and before she could jump off the bridge, he roughly pulled her towards him and tightly hugged her.
Aera stumbled due to this sudden pull but he balanced her and rested her head on his chest while he wrapped his hand around her waist.
Aera was surprised with Song Ji Hwan’s sudden presence but right now she wasn’t in the state to ask or process anything.
Feeling the warmth, which she unknowingly had been craving for, Aera leaned on him and cried her heart out.
Song Ji Hwan sighed in relief that he reached on time and was able to save Aera. If she would have indeed lost her life today, he would have never been able to forgive himself as he feels he was the one, who pushed her to this extent.
He caressed the back of her head with one hand while firmly holding her with other.
“Just because you failed in love doesn’t mean your life is over. My brother is not worth you losing your life” Hwan couldn’t help but say these words.
“Why? Why did… Kiaraa do… this to me?” Aera sobbed uncontrollably.
Song Ji Hwan then realised the person that affected Aera and forced her to take this step was not his brother but her sister.
“If she… was with Song… Ji Hun all… these years… and was in… love with him… she could… have just told me… At some point, I would have given up. Why did… she did this? Does she… hate me so… much?” Aera asked Hwan looking like a broken toy.
Song Ji Hwan was aware of the fact that Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun lied about being in love, so he didn’t know how to console Aera. He had no choice but to let her be.
Slowly, Aera’s knees were losing its strength, so Song Ji Hwan carried her in his arms and made her sit in the front passenger seat of his car and offered her some water.
Aera drank some and then she leaned back on the seat and closed her eyes.
“Aera, I need to make a call then I’ll take you to Lee conglomerate” Song Ji Hwan informed her but he didn’t leave her side, he sat next to her and called Yang Nam-il, who updated him about the situation there.
…
Few Minutes Earlier
Yang Nam-il hailed a taxi and quickly reached the bar where Ian was drinking.
When he reached there, he was greeted with the view of Ian drinking in a private room while his sister was trying to stop him but he ignored her.
Kim Do-Yun was crying seeing her brother’s state as she was helpless.
Ian too was crying, his eyes turned red, his one hand was bleeding and it was evident he broke a glass and hurt himself.
“Elder brother, please listen to me…” Kim Do Yun was begging him but as if he couldn’t hear anything, he didn’t react.
“Hey, Song Ji Hwan sent me” Yang Nam-il went to Kim Do-Yun’s side and introduced himself.
“You?” Kim Do-Yun still looked at him in confusion as she never met this guy before.
“I am Song Ji Hwan’s friend, Yang Nam-il, actually Lee Aera was about to commit suicide so he had to be on her side. He therefore sent me in his stead” Yang Nam-il explained.
“What?” Kim Do-Yun loudly shouted in shock, “Aera tried to commit suicide?”
That’s when she realized her friend too is going through the same torture as her brother. She totally forgot about it and now she felt guilty.
“But I am sure she is fine” Yang Nam-il tried to calm her down.
“How can you be sure, please call Hwan and ask” Kim Do-Yun shouted in panic and just then Yang Nam-il received Hwan’s call and both the men updated each other of the situation.
They both decided, Yang Nam-il will take Ian to the hospital to get him treated while Hwan will take Aera to her home.
Yang Nam-il then with the help of few men of Song Ji Hun took Ian to the hospital and on the way, he assured Kim Do-Yun that Aera is fine and Hwan decided to be with her the whole time to ensure she doesn’t do something like this again.
Kim Do-Yun sighed in relief and decided to be with her brother for now as Hwan was there with Aera.
After reaching the hospital, the doctors decided to admit Ian for one day as he consumed too much alcohol and his condition was weak. Also, he works there so they knew him very well.
After admitting Ian and he relaxed, Yang Nam-il approached Kim Do-Yun, “The doctors here will take good care of him, you should go home and rest”
“How can I leave him alone?” Kim Do-Yun worriedly asked.
“He is not alone, these doctors are his colleagues and friends, they volunteered to take turns and be on his side the whole night. Only if you’ll rest, you will be able to take care of him tomorrow” Yang Nam-il convinced Kim Do-Yun, who finally agreed to go back home.
Yang Nam-il dropped her at the Kim Mansion and she thanked him for all his help. Yang Nam-il then dropped a message to Song Ji Hun giving him all the updates on message as he didn’t wish to call and disturb him.
…
Here, after getting updates from Yang Nam-il, Song Ji Hwan started his car to take Aera to the Lee Mansion when suddenly Aera held his hand and stopped him.
“What happened, Aera?”
“I don’t want to go to the Lee Mansion” she requested him with teary eyes.
Noticing the confused expression on his face, Aera explained, “I don’t know why but that home doesn’t feel like mine anymore. Mom, dad left and now after Kiaraa’s betrayal, this house feels like a big hell to me. I don’t want to be here”
Song Ji Hwan could understand what she was going through right now.
“Drop me at some hotel and book a room for me. I have no money on me right now, so please let me borrow some, I promise I’ll pay you back” Aera made another request.
“No need for all of that” Song Ji Hwan said this much and started driving.
Aera again leaned back on the car seat and closed her eyes, she didn’t even realize when she fell asleep.
After reaching the destination, Song Ji Hwan saw Aera was already sleeping and he didn’t wish to wake her up as he was scared of what kind of thoughts she will have if she is not sleeping.
Carefully, he stepped down from the car and gently carried Aera to his home. Then he laid her on the soft bed in his bedroom.
Song Ji Hwan bought an apartment of his own when he started earning well to have some privacy in his life. No one was aware of this place except for Song Ji Hun and Yang Nam-il, he didn’t even tell his parents about it.
Aera is the first person he brought into this home as even his brother and Yang Nam-il never visited him here as they are aware of how much he loves his space.
Hwan didn’t feel hungry so he decided to sleep on the couch in the living room and he locked the doors well with internal password so that even if Aera wakes up before him, she doesn’t have a way to leave.
After ensuring Aera is deep asleep, he too slept and before sleeping just like Yang Nam-il he too sent a message to his brother updating him of the whole situation.
