[Break] The Chairman is a womanizer

#13: We are separated by a wall

After finishing his conversation with Hoseok, Yoongi went to a meeting that had been delayed for a few hours. That meeting happened to be a meeting on the conditions of cooperation with the N Group.

김 남준 [28]

"You're 10 minutes later than the scheduled time."

민 윤기 [29]

"10 minutes? It's been 8 minutes and 52 seconds."

Namjoon and Yoongi started the meeting with a fierce war of nerves again today. The meeting ended in 50 minutes. Then, as Yoongi got up from his seat and prepared to go to the next meeting, Namjoon said to him.

김 남준 [28]

"Instead of having a dozen bodyguards around, why don't you bring a secretary with you?"

김 남준 [28]

“The conference room is small. Aren’t you overdoing it?”

민 윤기 [29]

"This secretary's seat... is the lady's seat."

민 윤기 [29]

"Jung Ho-seok made a contract with me_"

민 윤기 [29]

"When the time comes, you will see the heroine by my side."

김 남준 [28]

"...Don't talk nonsense."

김 남준 [28]

"Do you think Jung Ho-seok would hand it over that easily?"

민 윤기 [29]

"Hey, I told you I had no choice but to hand it over."

민 윤기 [29]

"I don't make contracts where I'm not sure I'll win."

김 남준 [28]

"...Don't be a jerk."

김 남준 [28]

"Secretary Kim, organize all the documents and come out."

김 태형 [27]

"Mr. Chairman, how many times have I told you not to be emotional?"

김 남준 [28]

"Be quiet. What are you going to do with this unlucky situation?"

김 태형 [27]

"...Ha, Chairman,"

Chul-chul_

bang-!

김 태형 [27]

"...Really... Are you taking your anger out on me or something..."

widely_!

김 태형 [27]

"Ah...! What is it?"

민 윤기 [29]

"Oops, sorry. Mistake_"

민 윤기 [29]

"It's just some unlucky guy passing by, so our secretary, please put up with it~"

김 태형 [27]

'You can tell at a glance that it was done on purpose...'

민 윤기 [29]

"You must be having a hard time dragging that lucky guy around_ㅎ"

김 태형 [27]

"...Mr. Jae-soo-tang, sir, sir."

민 윤기 [29]

"What... I thought they were just talking among themselves."

민 윤기 [29]

"Well then, goodbye."

Chul-chul_

widely-!

김 태형 [27]

"...Ah, I have to pick it up again!"

김 남준 [28]

'Pick up the phone, pick up the phone...'

Click!

김 남준 [28]

- "Oh, I got it. Hey, Jung Hoseok!"

정 호석 [28]

- "...why."

김 남준 [28]

- "What were you talking about with Min Yoongi, are you crazy?!"

정 호석 [28]

- "what..."

김 남준 [28]

- "What? Seon Yeo-ju is Min Yoon-gi's secretary?"

김 남준 [28]

- "What were you talking about that caused such a fuss!!!"

정 호석 [28]

- "...Hang up. I've been crying for a while now and I've calmed down, and I don't want to cry again."

김 남준 [28]

- "Where are you now? Are you home?"

정 호석 [28]

- "Don't come, it's work time."

정 호석 [28]

- "Aren't you on your way back from meeting Min Yoongi?"

김 남준 [28]

- "Is that important right now...?!"

김 남준 [28]

- "You know what kind of person Min Yoongi is!"

김 남준 [28]

- "Do you want Seon Yeo-ju to fall for Min Yoon-gi?"

정 호석 [28]

- "...ㅎ_ Yeah, I know Min Yoongi well..."

정 호석 [28]

- "A criminal... and a prostitute at that."

The first time I met Yoon Ki-hyung was when I was the chairman of P Group in the US. I was taking a walk during a rare vacation after being busy running around, and I bumped into a person with a gloomy spirit.

정 호석 [25]

"Ah..! Hey! What are you doing? (Excuse me! What are you doing?"

정 호석 [25]

"I almost got hurt...! (I almost got hurt...!)"

What made me stop talking was his eerie eyes as he turned his head to look at me. Even though he was wearing a hat and mask, his eyes were as creepy as if they were the eyes of a murderer.

He met my eyes with those eyes and then went on his way, but I couldn't forget those cold eyes. But who would have thought I would see those eyes again during the interview for my secretary?

정 호석 [25]

"Next one, please."

Chul-chul_

정 호석 [25]

"Sit down please, And What your name? (Please sit down, and what is your name?)"

민 윤기 [26]

"Hello, My name is Yoongi Min. (Hello, my name is Min Yoongi)"

The moment my eyes met his, all my thought processes stopped. Those eyes were the same cold eyes I had seen two weeks ago on the day of the interview.

"Oh~ You're so handsome. (Oh~ You're so handsome)"

민 윤기 [26]

"Thank you. (Thank you)"

Unlike me, who was stiff, the judges seemed to have a good atmosphere, but this person also spoke clearly, so his evaluation results were much better than those of the other applicants.

I was dizzy at the score that was so close to perfection that I could have just picked her as my secretary. The ominous atmosphere was ominous, but I couldn't not pick her...

Even though I was anxious, what could I do? I thought it was a bad fate and finally passed the final selection with Min Yoongi as my secretary.

And on the first day that he and I met as chairman and secretary, when he came to work and I was sitting at my desk, I stood up and gave him an awkward smile, and what he said while staring at me was a bit shocking.

민 윤기 [26]

"Are you Korean?"

정 호석 [25]

"Yes... Ah, Yes, ah? Yes...?"

He spoke fluent Korean, not awkwardly, but naturally, like flowing water. It was nice to hear Korean after such a long time.

민 윤기 [26]

"I'm Korean too. Oh, it's just because I look Korean."

Looking at this person who slightly raised the corners of his mouth as if to tell me not to misunderstand, I relaxed my tension, thinking to myself that he wasn't a bad person after all, he just had a cold impression.

정 호석 [25]

"Oh, really? Then can I speak in Korean?"

민 윤기 [26]

"Of course."

I felt a little disappointed because I thought you didn't remember me.

정 호석 [25]

“Nice to meet you. My name is Jeong Ho-seok, Chairman of P Group.”

민 윤기 [26]

"My name is Min Yoongi and I am the chairman's secretary."

정 호석 [25]

"First of all, please take your seats here. •••"

After about half a year of going beyond the relationship between chairman and secretary to being like good brother and sister, Yoon Ki-hyung went on vacation for the first time and was left handling things by himself.

After lunch, I came up and opened the Internet to rest. When I opened it, the first article that came up was about a prostitution case.

It had been a hot topic for weeks, but because I was so busy, I started looking into the case more and more, starting with the first article I saw.

정 호석 [25]

"...This is all the evidence? A 5-second CCTV video with no face visible is the evidence."

My eyes shook as I looked at the CCTV footage. It was only a 5-second video, but I was sure of it. This silhouette, that hat and mask... It was the man I bumped into half a year ago.

Min Yoongi... Yoongi-hyung, he was my secretary.

And the day this CCTV footage was taken was the same day that Yoon Ki-hyung went on vacation... I didn't want to believe it, so I quickly closed the internet window, but I was sure. It was definitely Yoon Ki-hyung.

Even though it was just a short CCTV footage of a man knocking a woman unconscious, grabbing her by the hair and throwing her into a forklift, it was clear.

정 호석 [25]

"...No...That won't happen."

Yeah, no way... There's no way Yoongi-hyung would do that... Even though he's gloomy, he's a really nice person.

정 호석 [25]

"...Okay. I can just check it with my own eyes."

The place and time written in the next crime preview... Today at 10 PM, in an alley downtown. I decided to go and see it with my own eyes.

정 호석 [25]

'...Is this it?'

10:04 PM

I arrived on time and kept an eye on the alley. After waiting a few more minutes, I saw a man wearing black slacks, a white shirt, a black jacket, a black hat, and a black mask...

The person wearing the exact same outfit I saw on the CCTV came in from the other alley. And I was sure once again. Those icy eyes were the same ones I saw back then.

And then I saw something I shouldn't have seen. He held a sharp blade to the woman's neck, covered her mouth with his hand, and threatened her with sharp eyes, telling her not to make a sound, before dragging her to the forklift.

I had no choice but to just sit there.

After seeing that firsthand, I was so shocked that I ended up receiving psychiatric counseling and have had to take panic disorder medication ever since.

I no longer had the confidence to face my brother and work, so I hastily handed over the work and returned to Korea. And this is the last note I left for Yoon Ki-hyung before returning.

'Prostitution'

정 호석 [28]

- "...I know what kind of guy he is, but."

정 호석 [28]

- "Seon Yeo-ju is more precious to me."

김 남준 [28]

- "So you want to hand over your lover to a prostitute, you idiot?"

정 호석 [28]

- "...Don't be angry, I have a headache. I'll hang up."

김 남준 [28]

- "Hey, don't hang up, Jung Ho-seok, hey!"

Stop_

There was a long silence after the disconnected call. As I thought back on the past, I began to understand what kind of person Yoon Ki-hyung was, but my mind was already set on sending Seon Yeo-ju away.

정 호석 [28]

"....."

dripping_

정 호석 [28]

"Seon Yeo-ju_"

선 여주 [28]

"...huh..."

정 호석 [28]

"Do you love me?"

김 석진 [29]

- "Tell me you love me... just once."

선 여주 [28]

- "...What are your intentions?"

김 석진 [29]

- "I couldn't think of anyone else but you, just...!"

김 석진 [29]

- "And every single day was hell."

김 석진 [29]

- "I missed that love so much, when you called my name and said you loved me."

선 여주 [28]

- "...I guess you don't remember what you did to me."

선 여주 [28]

- "When I was happy with Park Eun-seo, I felt like I was going to die."

선 여주 [28]

- "It's the same now. Jung Ho-seok has gone crazy because of Park Eun-seo and now he has no one to lean on."

선 여주 [28]

- "But how can the brother who made it like that say something like that now?"

김 석진 [29]

- "...I was scared."

김 석진 [29]

- "But I loved you, I loved you..."

선 여주 [28]

- "...Is that love...?"

선 여주 [28]

- "Then at least you shouldn't have brought up Jung Ho-seok or cheated on him."

선 여주 [28]

- "Jung Ho-seok and I cried a lot. But a lot of it was your fault. Don't you think about it?"

김 석진 [29]

- "I'm saying this now, but I'm sorry..."

김 석진 [29]

- "I have one and only wife, but I cheated on her and thought of her only as a bed partner..."

김 석진 [29]

- "Is there any way I can repay this...?"

김 석진 [29]

- "I'll do anything. If you tell me to kneel, I'll kneel. If you ask for a vacation, I'll give it to you."

선 여주 [28]

- "...I think you're still very confused, oppa."

선 여주 [28]

- "Let's take some time to think, shall we..."

선 여주 [28]

- "Let me rest for another week. Just treat it as a vacation."

김 석진 [29]

- "Okay, my lady.."

김 석진 [29]

- "love you."

Stop_

The call ended with Kim Seokjin saying he loved me, and tears finally started to fall from his eyes.

I was stupid. I acted strong because I knew I would be treated like that, but my heart wavered. I promised to be strong... This is different from what I promised, Seon Yeo-ju...

And this time, Jung Ho-seok is asking me for love. I couldn't answer when he asked me in a low voice from beyond the door if I loved him.

You... I'm more confused and have a harder time now than when I first saw Kim Seokjin cheating.

정 호석 [28]

"Answer me, Seon Yeo-ju. Do you love me?"

Jung Ho-seok's voice was trembling slightly, and he couldn't say anything. He could have just said that he loved her, even if it was just empty words, but his rebellious spirit caused completely different words to come out of his mouth.

선 여주 [28]

"...Just tell me what's going on, I'm tired."

정 호석 [28]

"...Min Yoongi... can find the person who told you that."

정 호석 [28]

"But there's a condition... He wants you to be handed over to him, and that he'll give you a job as his secretary."

선 여주 [28]

"...so?"

정 호석 [28]

"It's P Group, P Group... I think this is better than Kim Seok-jin's warm behavior in J Group."

정 호석 [28]

"I'll come see you sometimes, I'll beat up that little brat you made."

선 여주 [28]

"Are you... not aware of the situation, or are you just stupid?"

정 호석 [28]

"...what?"

선 여주 [28]

“You acted like you’d never let me go to Min Yoongi, so I didn’t want to go either.”

선 여주 [28]

"But why are you suddenly like this? Is the person who said that to me that important?"

정 호석 [28]

"It's not just because of that...! You can just build your career there, make more money, and go on a trip to the US."

선 여주 [28]

"What's the point of building my career! You're not in it...!"

Eventually, when I started to scream like I was crying, Jung Ho-seok stopped talking. Don't you know how much I like you, you idiot... And then I got angry and said things I shouldn't have said.

선 여주 [28]

"If it was going to be like this, I should have gone to Kim Seokjin instead of you."

•••

There was a brief moment of silence, and I heard the door locking as I went outside. We were separated by a wall, and I thought I could see your expression. Whether you were blaming me... or crying... that complex and subtle expression.

[Preview]

김 석진 [29]

"Let's start again."

정 호석 [28]

"I love you, but... this is the best I can do."

민 윤기 [29]

"Nice to see you again."
