A Deal With The Frigid Wizard  Chapter 4


Chapter 4

Three months later, Jaeha was speechless when she received the trial results. The world was terribly cruel to her, a victim. As she was the youngest, it was difficult to refuse a drink at the dinner party, and she was so drunk that she was nearly raped while mentally and physically weakened, which no one knew about.

The lawyer that the director paid a lot of money for was very competent compared to Jaeha’s lawyer, and the judge clearly favored the director’s hand. The judge acquitted the director, describing the case as a result of inconsistency and misunderstanding in communication. However, he also did not accept the director’s claim of innocence.

The terrible experience that night left only deep wounds in her heart, distrust of the law and society, and an empty bank balance. It was as if she had been utterly defeated. However, the director was a crueler and more terrifying person than Jaeha thought.

The incident was published as an article in an Internet newspaper. The article was written as if to represent the position of the director.

[As the director of an academy said, “Favor has turned into sexual assault.”]

As this spread to men online, Jaeha was treated like a gold digger who sued an innocent man to extort his money. A modern-day witch hunt began. Thousands of comments criticized and swore at her.

There was even a petition on the Blue House (Korean President’s office) website saying that the punishment for false accusations should be strengthened because of these women. People somehow found her email address and cell phone number and started sending her e-mails and messages full of abuse. The reality was too heavy for 28-year-old Jaeha to bear with the passing of the year.

The unresolved anger, sadness, and resentment swallowed up Jaeha little by little. Eventually, six months after the article was published, she completely lost the will to live.

One night in mid-September, when the summer heat had not yet faded. Jaeha chose the early morning hours when people are rare and stood in front of the Han River. The dark blue reflection of the river looked like the river Styx from Greek mythology.

“Yeah, you die and I die.”

A gloomy voice came out of her mouth. The prideful woman’s last resort was to prove her innocence by committing suicide and to remove a little bit of the director’s mask.

If her body is found in the Han River, reporters who were not interested in the explanation will rush in like a swarm of bees. For a stimulating scoop. Jaeha put a bunch of coated paper in the pocket of her trousers, succinctly summarizing the incident.

“Just in case…….”

Considering that her body might not be found for a long time, Jaeha removed her shoes and put the coated paper inside. Having finished her preparations, she walked toward her death on feeble feet, just like that night.

“Huhu…….”

She made up her mind. The moment she was encased in the dark blue water, her tears burst out. But as Jaeha struggled, she continued deeper.

“Bastard, this fucking world!”

Cursing to the end, Jaeha immersed her body in the Han River. The moment the water rose to her head, she automatically closed her eyes tightly. So she couldn’t see anything strange happening to her.

Whiiiipp

There was the sound of a gust of wind, and a blue light began to flow from the bottom of the dark Han River. The sparsely visible blue light soon connected with a line and took on a shape similar to a magic circle. A strong wind blew out from the circular pattern that seemed to absorb anything.
