[Break] The Chairman is a womanizer

#22: Each other's happiness

_ Seokjin's Point of View _ After arriving in Korea, he came straight to the company. He turned down Chairman Kim Namjoon who said he would call a reporter, and Team Leader Jeong Ho-seok who told him to rest, asking why he was going to the company.

Well, of course, the fact that I was going to post a job advertisement for a secretary was an excuse. That's why I was at a loss as to what to do when I actually sat down in the chairman's chair. Now, I don't have a secretary... no, Seon Yeo-ju is not here with me.

Since the articles had already been published and the Internet was full of articles with my name and Chairman Min on them, it was already too late to gather evidence to prove that I didn't remember.

김 석진 [29]

"...My lady."

김 석진 [29]

"My life is falling apart without you, what should I do_"

I couldn't do anything without my wife. At one time, when it was rumored to be the largest company in the country, my wife was always behind me as I worked diligently.

But I only used that kind of female protagonist to cheat on her, hang out at clubs, and satisfy my sexual desires... and on top of that, this situation has now occurred.

Even in my eyes, he was just a trashy, incompetent, womanizing chairman and ex-husband whom I could never forgive.

I'm asking you to go back to the way things were... No? It's probably shameless to even wish for that. I know. But...

김 석진 [29]

"Still, I can't let you go."

That's right, after much deliberation while sitting in the chairman's chair, I came to the conclusion that I had to push it through with the law. That was the only thing.

Even though we were divorced, Seon Yeo-ju's personal information as a secretary remained on my computer. It was a trace of Seon Yeo-ju that I could not erase even after filing for divorce.

If you put this on your marriage certificate... you'll have no choice but to meet me.

김 석진 [29]

"I absolutely will not let you go."

_ Ho-seok's point of view _ The moment I was about to collapse at the sight of the five letters in bold letters in the title, Seon-yeo-ju snatched the paper away from me.

선 여주 [28]

"What did you see that made you do this?"

And as expected, Seon Yeo-ju's expression hardened. I quickly snatched it away, but it was already too late.

정 호석 [28]

"...No, just go and cancel it. That piece of shit,..."

선 여주 [28]

"no."

선 여주 [28]

"I have to meet Kim Seok-jin in person and talk to him."

선 여주 [28]

"Looking straight into those two beautiful eyes,"

선 여주 [28]

"I have to speak clearly_"

정 호석 [28]

"No, my lady."

I quickly grabbed Seon Yeo-ju's arm, but she was faster. Seon Yeo-ju seemed to have already made up her mind as she picked up the coat hanging on the sofa and pushed my arm away.

정 호석 [28]

"...don't go."

선 여주 [28]

"This is my problem."

정 호석 [28]

"Why is that your problem, you and me...!"

선 여주 [28]

"Okay, go and talk about it when you get back."

정 호석 [28]

"Hey, Seonyeoju!"

Chul-chul_

bang-!

08:44 PM

정 호석 [28]

"...It's late. Listen to me, please..."

In the end, I had no choice but to pack my coat and go out to follow Yeoju.

선 여주 [28]

"Take it... Take it, Kim Seokjin..."

김 석진 [29]

- "Did the marriage certificate arrive safely?"

선 여주 [28]

- "What are you trying to do now...!!"

김 석진 [29]

- "Let's talk face to face. Wouldn't that be okay? You too?"

선 여주 [28]

- "Stop talking nonsense, I'm filing for marriage right now!"

김 석진 [29]

- "Let's meet first, I won't do anything until then."

선 여주 [28]

- "...Come to the cafe."

김 석진 [29]

- "Okay_h"

The phone call ended and I closed my eyes tightly. Okay, let's talk it over and cancel the marriage registration... Then I'll live happily with Jung Ho-seok.

정 호석 [28]

"......."

김 석진 [29]

"You're here~?"

As I entered the cafe, Kim Seok-jin greeted me with a bright smile. There seemed to be some pressure behind that bright, sunny smile.

김 석진 [29]

"It's been almost two days, hasn't it?"

김 석진 [29]

"Until two days ago, you were smiling so kindly at me."

선 여주 [28]

"...Shut up, do you think I came here to giggle with you right now?"

김 석진 [29]

"No? I know that's not true~"

선 여주 [28]

"So finish it quickly, I don't even want to see your face."

김 석진 [29]

"You didn't fall for this face and marry me?"

김 석진 [29]

"It's a bit disappointing when you say that"

선 여주 [28]

"I told you, I didn't come here to do this with you."

김 석진 [29]

"Then what are you doing? You can't take a single step from here."

김 석진 [29]

"You know what the conditions are for coming to see me."

선 여주 [28]

"...You are a real beast, worse than a beast."

김 석진 [29]

"You too."

김 석진 [29]

"Who is the one who got divorced and then immediately switched to her ex-boyfriend?"

선 여주 [28]

"...Who is cheating..."

Kim Seok-jin's expression suddenly hardened, and he flinched for a moment, then crouched down and mumbled, and from that moment on, Kim Seok-jin began to threaten.

김 석진 [29]

"As you know, no matter how much my image has been tarnished..."

김 석진 [29]

"You know very well that J Group is the most influential group in the country, since you worked as a secretary too"

선 여주 [28]

"...What do you want?"

김 석진 [29]

"With a few clicks of my fingers, I can plaster every headline on the internet with you."

김 석진 [29]

"If you want, you can fall into the abyss with me_ or,"

김 석진 [29]

"Jung Ho-seok will also go to the abyss."

선 여주 [28]

"what...?"

김 석진 [29]

"So, listen carefully when I speak."

김 석진 [29]

"Come back as my secretary and I'll give you a free pass."

김 석진 [29]

"On the premise that you will come back, I will also cancel the marriage registration."

선 여주 [28]

"What is that...!!"

김 석진 [29]

"If you're done with Jung Ho-seok and don't want to remarry me, listen to me carefully."

김 석진 [29]

"Don't you get it yet? You can never escape from me, ever."

김 석진 [29]

"Because I love you, you can't go anywhere."

김 석진 [29]

"I don't think I can give up."

김 석진 [29]

"Well, I'll give you the choice_"

김 석진 [29]

"You have to take care of the aftermath yourself."

선 여주 [28]

"......."

What did Kim Seok-jin say? Funny enough, he said nothing wrong. There was no way J Group would fail since they were joining hands with the N Group Chairman and other big companies.

So, like Kim Seok-jin said, all the articles about me and Jung Ho-seok. Whether they are false or exaggerated, I will be cursed at by the public without being able to say anything.

But I love Jung Ho-seok so much. So, I need a way that doesn't harm Jung Ho-seok... If the person I love is more important than me,

선 여주 [28]

"Stop... so I can go back."

In the end, I had no choice but to give in to Kim Seok-jin. I could have worked overtime every day like before and taken all of Kim Seok-jin's stress on myself.

But, if you dream of a happy future... then.

김 석진 [29]

"Don't you regret it?"

선 여주 [28]

"...huh."

김 석진 [29]

"Okay, then."

김 석진 [29]

"Come to work tomorrow, Secretary Sun."

선 여주 [28]

"...Yes... Chairman."

I have never experienced such a miserable and difficult love, nor such a painful one.

The next day, I come to the secretary's office after a long time. Jung Ho-seok and I... are still in a cold war. Yesterday, he turned his back on me and went to sleep without saying a word. Is this the relationship between you and me that I wanted?

Giving up ourselves for each other was what brought our relationship to the brink of breaking up.

Just as I was almost done unpacking, I received today's schedule via PC messenger from Kim Seok-jin. Unfortunately, I had to meet with the team leaders... and see Jung Ho-seok.

dripping_

선 여주 [28]

"...Yes, please come in."

김 석진 [29]

"Let's go with the schedule, Secretary Sun."

And I'm going crazy because of this Kim Seok-jin. Why are you suddenly smiling and talking to me? When you threatened me yesterday... When you treated me like that and bullied me...

선 여주 [28]

"Oh, yes. I'll just take your personal information and go."

김 석진 [29]

"I already picked them all out, just come out."

선 여주 [28]

"Huh? Oh... yes."

Since when did you start taking care of all the documents needed for meetings?

김 석진 [29]

"Here, sit down."

선 여주 [28]

"Oh, thank you."

선 여주 [28]

"And Mr. Chairman, from next time on, I will get ready early, take the minutes, and go pick you up first."

김 석진 [29]

"How could I ask my precious secretary to do such a trivial thing..."

김 석진 [29]

"I'll do the simple things, so take it easy."

Starting with him pulling out my chair and telling me to sit down, to him not even doing small things like that in the past but now smiling and saying he'd do them himself... I felt so awkward I could die.

And at that very moment, the leaders of each team entered the conference room.

"Oh, the rumors about Secretary Sun's comeback were true!"

선 여주 [28]

"Huh, it's been a while, Team Leader Yoo."

"Why has the secretary become prettier~"

선 여주 [28]

"Hey... no, Team Leader Lee_ㅎ"

I was exchanging greetings with the team leaders for the first time in a while, and the last team leader to enter was Jeong Ho-seok.

선 여주 [28]

"...Team Leader Jeong, too... hello."

정 호석 [28]

"....."

The other team leaders who knew that I was dating someone started to murmur as Jeong Ho-seok just nodded and returned to his seat.

김 석진 [29]

"The meeting, let's begin."

김 석진 [29]

"Secretary Sun, please proceed."

선 여주 [28]

"Yes, I understand, Chairman."

The conference room, which had been noisy, became quiet as if cold water had been poured over it as Seokjin Kim's words broke the chaotic atmosphere.

선 여주 [28]

"Then, on Xth of Xth year, 20XX, we will begin the team leader invitation meeting."

선 여주 [28]

"The topic this time is..."

I left the meeting in a hurry, without looking at the content, and now that I see the title, I am quite embarrassed. The topic of the meeting was the suspicion of sponsorship of the chairman of J Group that Chairman Min recently revealed.

선 여주 [28]

"...Is this something that the Chairman also passed?"

선 여주 [28]

"How can you bring up this sensitive topic in front of the person involved...!!!"

정 호석 [28]

"I think it is the duty of the chairman to look straight at and confront the situation that has occurred in his group..."

정 호석 [28]

"I don't think the secretary thinks so."

As Jung Ho-seok spoke in a low tone without changing the pitch, I felt both anger and fear. That's true, no matter how angry I am, to my lover...

선 여주 [28]

"...No. I will proceed with the meeting."

선 여주 [28]

"The suspicion about Chairman Kim's sponsorship that Chairman Min revealed during his recent press conference..."

선 여주 [28]

"Since it has not been confirmed whether the recording is true or not, all leaked articles should be deleted..."

정 호석 [28]

"How about holding a press conference and apologizing first?"

정 호석 [28]

"There's a lot of disparagement going on about the J Group right now. Have you checked it out?"

선 여주 [28]

"That,"

정 호석 [28]

"I think it would be much better to apologize first before all support is lost, and then secure evidence and claim innocence."

Why are you doing this when you don't even come up with original ideas, really?

김 석진 [29]

"...I agree."

"I agree with what Team Leader Jeong said."

"I agree."

선 여주 [28]

"...Then, the first meeting will be decided based on Team Leader Jeong Ho-seok's opinion."

선 여주 [28]

"I hope you prepare well for the second meeting next week."

선 여주 [28]

“And Team Leader Jeong, please look at me for a moment.”

정 호석 [28]

"Yeah, right."

김 석진 [29]

"It's going according to plan."

I dragged Jeong Ho-seok to a hallway where employees rarely went. I really wanted to know why he was doing this to me.

선 여주 [28]

"What are you trying to do now?"

정 호석 [28]

"what."

선 여주 [28]

"Why are you interfering with my work? Why are you acting like you're doing whatever you want."

정 호석 [28]

"...under_"

정 호석 [28]

"Work? Are you proud of that?"

정 호석 [28]

"Why am I doing this to Kim Seok-jin, hurting his pride?"

선 여주 [28]

"You're the one who got me reinstated."

정 호석 [28]

"We fight too much these days, don't we?"

선 여주 [28]

"So what, are you going to say let's break up?"

선 여주 [28]

"Try it once, you'll never be able to do it."

정 호석 [28]

"...Try it?"

선 여주 [28]

"Yeah, if we're going to have a cold war like this, it's better to break up. What more do you want?"

정 호석 [28]

"Let's break up."

선 여주 [28]

"...what?"

정 호석 [28]

"Let's break up, let's stop."

정 호석 [28]

"I'm tired of fighting with you and watching Kim Seokjin's every move."

정 호석 [28]

“I endured everything because I loved you, but now it’s hard.”

선 여주 [28]

"...hey..."

정 호석 [28]

"Maybe we're not meant to be."

정 호석 [28]

"I'm thinking about retiring now."

선 여주 [28]

"Hey, Jung Hoseok...!"

정 호석 [28]

"Why do we have more memories of crying and fighting than of being happy?"

정 호석 [28]

"Now, I'll let you go."

정 호석 [28]

"You let me go now too."

정 호석 [28]

"Let's just wish each other happiness from afar, that's what we've been hoping and wishing for."

김 태형 [27]

"I figured it out."

김 석진 [29]

"I'm telling you not to be so nosy."
