[Break] The Chairman is a womanizer

#03: My husband's girlfriend

After finishing my preparations, I got into Jung Ho-seok's car. As soon as I got in, Jung Ho-seok leaned towards me and put on his seatbelt.

Jeong Ho-seok tightened his seatbelt, saying safety was the top priority, and set off with a satisfied smile.

선 여주 [28]

"...Ah, I can't breathe. Do you like it when it's so tight?"

정 호석 [28]

"Yeah, that's good."

정 호석 [28]

"I don't want to see you get hurt, I guess I'll have to keep doing this from now on_ㅎ"

선 여주 [28]

"You're worried... Drive carefully."

정 호석 [28]

“You’re only safe if I take care of you.”

정 호석 [28]

"I'm fine, so stay safe wherever you are. Health comes first."

선 여주 [28]

"Okay... I keep nagging you every time I bring you home..."

정 호석 [28]

"I made some toast for breakfast earlier and put it in my bag."

정 호석 [28]

"Eat that and work, I'll check."

선 여주 [28]

"Oh, really? Thank you_"

정 호석 [28]

"What, work hard."

정 호석 [28]

"Would you like to have lunch together?"

선 여주 [28]

"okay_"

Well, since Kim Seok-jin was likely going to eat lunch with his girlfriend anyway, he ended up eating lunch with Jung Ho-seok every time.

I gave up because I knew he wouldn't eat with me.

정 호석 [28]

"We've arrived, let's get off."

선 여주 [28]

"huh_"

As I was walking with Jung Ho-seok towards the large J Group building, a familiar face caught my eye.

선 여주 [28]

"Huh? Chairman of N Group..?"

김 남준 [28]

"Oh, hello, Miss Yeoju"

선 여주 [28]

"What's my name...?"

김 태형 [27]

“I’m here too, but I guess you can’t see me, sir.”

선 여주 [28]

"Oh..ah! Hello, Secretary Kim_"

선 여주 [28]

"It's been a while_ㅎ"

정 호석 [28]

"Who are you?"

선 여주 [28]

"Ah, the N Group chairman and secretary who had lunch yesterday."

정 호석 [28]

"Ah, hello."

김 남준 [28]

"I guess you're an employee."

정 호석 [28]

"I've been working here for three years, _"

김 남준 [28]

"Oh... Even under that chairman, you can endure like that_ㅎ"

선 여주 [28]

"yes...?"

김 남준 [28]

"Oh, no. I'm just talking to myself, so don't worry about it."

정 호석 [28]

"...That's right. How did you hold out?_ㅎ"

선 여주 [28]

"Oh, by the way, what's going on? I thought you didn't have anything scheduled with our group today."

김 태형 [27]

"Oh, my schedule has changed."

김 태형 [27]

"I understand that today the secretary won't be following along and only the bodyguard will be going out."

김 태형 [27]

"You didn't get a call?"

선 여주 [28]

"ah_..."

I quickly turned on my phone and saw a text from Kim Seokjin. It wasn't a detailed explanation, just a photo of the schedule change, with a brief note attached.

김 석진 [29]

_ The schedule has changed, but you don't have to come.

선 여주 [28]

"..."

김 태형 [27]

"Miss Yeoju?"

선 여주 [28]

"Oh, yes... I got a call."

선 여주 [28]

"What's your morning schedule?"

김 남준 [28]

"Yes, I'm waiting."

As I nodded in agreement with Namjoon's words, I saw Kim Seokjin rushing out of the J Group building, followed by numerous bodyguards.

As soon as Kim Seok-jin met my eyes, he glanced back and forth between me and Jeong Hoseok, who was standing next to me, then snorted and got into the van.

And his girlfriend, Park Eun-seo, is sitting next to him with her hand clasped.

선 여주 [28]

"....!"

Jung Ho-seok must have seen that too, as he patted my head a few times, put his arm around my shoulder, and dragged me into the J Group building.

bang_

widely_!

After bringing me into the secretary's office and locking the door, Jeong Ho-seok called my name several times while getting down to my eye level.

정 호석 [28]

"Lady, Lady!"

Before I knew it, tears were flowing from my eyes, and before they could flow down my cheeks, Jeong Ho-seok wiped them away with his thumb.

I guess I was overcome with emotion without realizing it, and Jeong Ho-seok must have noticed it before I did, as he dragged me into his secretary's office.

정 호석 [28]

"My lady, my lady..."

선 여주 [28]

"Uh, ah..._"

정 호석 [28]

"Look at me, don't cry."

정 호석 [28]

"I told you not to be discouraged."

I guess I just felt sad when I saw my husband's girlfriend without realizing it. I was sad that the person my husband loved was that woman, not me.

Every single look in his eyes, even the one that alternated between me and Jeong Ho-seok and the empty smirk he gave, was miserable and heartbreaking. Slowly, as I pondered the reason, the tears wouldn't stop flowing even more.

선 여주 [28]

"Huh, uh, Hoseok..."

정 호석 [28]

"...(pat pat_) It's okay, it's okay..."

선 여주 [28]

"Uh...Should I just get a divorce..."

정 호석 [28]

"...Are you okay? No, but are you going to do something about it?"

선 여주 [28]

"Just... to let you know..."

선 여주 [28]

"It's too cruel for you and for me..."

정 호석 [28]

"...okay."

정 호석 [28]

"Drink some water and calm down."

정 호석 [28]

"Oh, right, work..."

정 호석 [28]

'Kim Seok-jin said he was leaving work behind...'

정 호석 [28]

"I'll eat some toast. I have a lot of work to do, so I should go."

선 여주 [28]

"Ugh... Bye_ㅎ"

선 여주 [28]

"Thank you..."

정 호석 [28]

"What_h"

정 호석 [28]

"Let's go home together after work."

선 여주 [28]

"Yeah..! Work hard_"

정 호석 [28]

"I'll pick you up at lunchtime, see you later."

선 여주 [28]

"huh!"

bang_

widely-!

I sat down, feeling a little better, and prepared for work. If I could just break free from this tiresome shackle with Kim Seokjin, wouldn't life at least be a little easier?

I felt a little better, a little bit of hope and anticipation mixed in.

선 여주 [28]

"_he"

And because there was Jung Ho-seok, who was always by my side, protecting and taking care of me, even though we were just friends, I was able to happily write the story that followed.

dripping_

선 여주 [28]

"yes~?"

bang_

김 석진 [29]

"Are you feeling good?"

선 여주 [28]

"Uh...ah, Chairman."

선 여주 [28]

"Your schedule is already over..."

김 석진 [29]

"The chairman of N Group is unlucky, so he just finished it and came back."

김 석진 [29]

“You talk a lot with that chairman, don’t you?”

김 석진 [29]

"Do you like it when I look at other men?"

선 여주 [28]

"...Chairman. That's_"

김 석진 [29]

"Call me oppa"

선 여주 [28]

"...Brother, we..."

김 석진 [29]

"I'm your husband, right?"

선 여주 [28]

"You too, oppa... I'm your wife, but why...!"

김 석진 [29]

"Go out with Jung Ho-seok, then."

김 석진 [29]

"I just watched my husband cheat on me like an idiot..."

김 석진 [29]

"You have to live your life too, if you want to cry under me."

He spoke again, his voice cracking and curt. He managed to force out the words, "Let's get a divorce," which were stuck in his throat, and then took a deep breath. For me, those words took a great deal of courage.

선 여주 [28]

"...Let's get a divorce."

선 여주 [28]

"Let me do it."

김 석진 [29]

"Why_ㅎ?"

선 여주 [28]

"...Are you asking because you don't know? Like you said, my brother and I are married."

선 여주 [28]

"Why do you go clubbing every night, meet women, and why do you have relationships with me...?"

김 석진 [29]

"Are you asking because you don't know?"

선 여주 [28]

"That's not a given, that's...!"

김 석진 [29]

"You should have accepted this much if you wanted to marry me."

선 여주 [28]

"Brother, three years ago...!"

김 석진 [29]

"Enough, I'm tired of talking to you."

김 석진 [29]

"Let's get a divorce, then."

김 석진 [29]

"See you in court_ㅎ"

선 여주 [28]

"Oppa...!!"

김 석진 [29]

"That would be nice, you have a boyfriend of 10 years who takes care of you instead of a playboy husband."

I cried when I saw my husband leave with such a bitter smile and even poking Jeong Ho-seok, and I couldn't do any work for about an hour because I was lying down and crying.

dripping_

선 여주 [28]

"...Uh, come in_"

bang_

김 남준 [28]

"Can I come in?"

김 태형 [27]

"Miss Yeoju, it's us_"

선 여주 [28]

"Ah... It's a bit like that now."

김 남준 [28]

"...Did you cry? Your eyes are red."

김 남준 [28]

“You were looking at me with such bright eyes this morning.”

선 여주 [28]

"...that is_"

김 태형 [27]

"Uh...don't cry, why are you like that..."

선 여주 [28]

"Uh, uh... Mr. Chairman..."

김 남준 [28]

"...Chairman?"

bang_

정 호석 [28]

"Seon Yeo-ju_ I'll drink coffee,"

정 호석 [28]

"...Why are you crying, you?"

Jeong Ho-seok, who saw my tears, changed his expression completely, passed the N Group chairman and his secretary, and crouched down in front of me.

정 호석 [28]

"Why are you crying?"

선 여주 [28]

"Huh, uh, uh... Kim, Seok..."

정 호석 [28]

"Speak straight. Calm down."

Jung Ho-seok speaks firmly to me, who is gasping for breath and crying, not sure if he is angry or trying to appease me.

Still, when I didn't stop crying, he sighed, got up from where he was crouching, hugged me, and slowly stroked my head.

정 호석 [28]

"Say it again. Why are you crying?"

선 여주 [28]

"K..Kim Seokjin, this.."

선 여주 [28]

"I'm getting a divorce... You and I... You keep stirring things up..."

정 호석 [28]

"Okay, okay. Okay, stop talking."

선 여주 [28]

"Ugh, uh... Now, I... only have you... you know... right...?"

정 호석 [28]

"Okay, I'll take responsibility until the end."

정 호석 [28]

"So stop crying. Maybe it's a good thing."

Even though his tone was so blunt, I could feel the hand stroking my head trembling slightly.

So, I broke free from Jeong Ho-seok's embrace and smiled, telling him not to worry.

선 여주 [28]

"Heh, I'm okay now."

정 호석 [28]

"...Really."

선 여주 [28]

"Yeah... Thanks for calming me down..."

As I turned my gaze to the side, I saw the still flustered N Group Chairman and his secretary, and opened my mouth in shock.

선 여주 [28]

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a bit sensitive..."

김 남준 [28]

"Yeah, no... it's okay."

선 여주 [28]

"I heard you have some business..."

김 남준 [28]

"Oh, I just kept worrying about what might happen since you went in so quickly earlier..."

김 남준 [28]

"I came right after my schedule was over"

김 태형 [27]

"The J Group Chairman has a really bad temper, doesn't he?"

김 태형 [27]

"It's the first time someone has treated our president like that_ㅎ"

김 태형 [27]

"I was so angry that I left the meeting and came back."

김 남준 [28]

"Be quiet...!"

선 여주 [28]

"Huh, since you're here, would you like to have lunch together?"

You didn't come here to see me cry...

김 태형 [27]

"Good, right_"

선 여주 [28]

"Yes_ Is now a good time, Jung Hoseok?"

정 호석 [28]

"Yeah, I'm fine."

선 여주 [28]

"Then let's go now_"

I took Jung Ho-seok, whose expression relaxed slightly as he saw me smiling, and the others who were belatedly introducing themselves as Kim Nam-joon and Kim Tae-hyung, out of the secretary's office to have lunch.

I acted as if the crying and complaining I had done earlier had never happened.

선 여주 [28]

"Eat plenty, everyone - I'm the one paying."

김 남준 [28]

"Oh, I'll eat well_ㅎ"

선 여주 [28]

"So, Mr. Kim Namjoon and Mr. Kim Taehyung?"

김 태형 [27]

"Yes, you are Seon Yeo-ju, right?"

정 호석 [28]

"I guess you don't remember my name."

김 태형 [27]

"Oh, no! Ho... Mr. Seo... Are you right...? Haha..."

정 호석 [28]

"...yes?"

김 남준 [28]

"Uh... Ah! I'm sorry, Jeong Hoseok."

김 남준 [28]

"I think Yeoju is acting like this because she heard Ho-seok say that earlier..."

선 여주 [28]

"Ah ...

정 호석 [28]

"...Please remember now, Mr. Kim Taehyung."

김 태형 [27]

"Uh..ah, yes, I'm sorry_..."

정 호석 [28]

"...Do you like cola? Would you like another one?"

김 태형 [27]

"Oh, yes_!"

정 호석 [28]

"Okay, I understand."

As I was watching them become closer and closer, I felt happy when a familiar silhouette entered the restaurant.

Ding~

선 여주 [28]

"uh...?"

김 석진 [29]

My husband, who has decided to get a divorce...

박 은서 [26]

He entered the restaurant with his girlfriend, and with a bright smile on his face.

It felt like she hadn't seen me yet, and the glimpses I took of them were truly remarkable. I knew she was my girlfriend, but seeing their relationship firsthand made it all the more real.

김 석진 [29]

"Eunseo, what do you want to eat?"

박 은서 [26]

"Um... Should I eat pasta? Oh, this is too expensive."

김 석진 [29]

"I'm buying it for you, so why are you asking about the price?"

김 석진 [29]

"Choose comfortably, Eunseo, eat whatever you want_ㅎ"

박 은서 [26]

"Oh, really? Thank you... As expected, my brother is the best!"

When Park Eun-seo acted cute towards Kim Seok-jin, Kim Seok-jin smiled and kissed her. He had even wrapped his arm around her waist when he came in earlier...

With that smile, I was captivated and he must have seduced countless women in that club.

김 남준 [28]

"Why aren't you eating, Miss? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

선 여주 [28]

"Ah..! Yes, I have to eat it_ㅎ"

I felt Kim Seokjin's gaze on me as he recognized me when my name was suddenly called. My name wasn't all that common.

김 석진 [29]

"...he"

박 은서 [26]

"Why, oppa?"

김 석진 [29]

"Ah, my wife."

Huh? You introduced me to your girlfriend...? But she accepted it and we're still dating?

I wondered if this was the time to use the expression "kkiri kkiri".

박 은서 [26]

"Your wife is really pretty"

김 석진 [29]

"Really? That's right."

박 은서 [26]

"How old are you?"

김 석진 [29]

"28 years old."

박 은서 [26]

"You're older than me? Do you think she'd mind if I said hello?"

김 석진 [29]

"I don't like it, that's not possible_ㅎ"

Kim Seok-jin glared at me as he said those words. It was probably some kind of warning.

But would I be able to stand it if my husband's mistress were to introduce herself to me as my husband's girlfriend?

정 호석 [28]

"Seon Yeo-ju, are you really not feeling well?"

선 여주 [28]

"Huh? Oh, that's..."

Before I could even answer, Eunseo Park came and stood next to me. Namjoon and Taehyung were flustered by the appearance of a new person, and Ho-seok Jeong's expression hardened because he knew who Eunseo Park was.

박 은서 [26]

"Oh, you and Seokjin are married?"

선 여주 [28]

"...But."

Don't look me up and down, it makes me feel dirty.

박 은서 [26]

"Oh, nice to meet you! My name is Eunseo Park, and I dated Seokjin oppa for about a year. _ㅎ"

선 여주 [28]

"Yeah... nice to meet you."

Namjoon and Taehyung's faces gradually hardened at Eunseo Park's absurd introduction.

김 남준 [28]

"...Girlfriend?"

박 은서 [26]

"Huh? Are you the people I met earlier?"

김 태형 [27]

"Somehow, he was so strong. Even his eyes were so ruthless."

Taehyung covered his mouth with his hand as he was about to say something harsh and quickly finished.

선 여주 [28]

"Nice to meet you_ㅎ Enjoy your meal."

박 은서 [26]

"Ah... yes, you too, sister."

Only after she returned to the table where Seokjin Kim was did she take her hand off Taehyung's mouth and catch her breath.

김 석진 [29]

"..."

I felt Kim Seok-jin's gaze, but I ignored it and drank the glass of water.

김 남준 [28]

"Miss, are you okay?"

선 여주 [28]

(Gulp_)

widely-!

선 여주 [28]

"It's okay_ㅎ"

김 태형 [27]

"It doesn't look okay."

선 여주 [28]

"Eat quickly, it looks like lunch time will be over soon_ㅎ"

정 호석 [28]

"..."

[Preview]

김 석진 [29]

"Now, it's a man and a woman."

정 호석 [28]

"Stay at my house for the time being."

박 은서 [26]
