[Break] The Chairman is a womanizer

#36 : Come back : Jake 2

The nurse's trailing voice suddenly gave me a strong aura. This tone, this blond hair, this delicate, jade-like complexion... No way.

박 은서 [26]

"Well then... I'll be leaving now, patient."

선 여주 [28]

"...Just a moment."

박 은서 [26]

"yes?"

선 여주 [28]

"Would you please take off your nurse's hat?"

Drumroll_

내 커리어 때문에 내가 이렇게 예민하게 화를 낸다고? 정호석이 어떤 개새끼인지 알면서 이래.

김 석진 [29]

"...it's annoying."

김 남준 [28]

"What's so annoying?"

김 석진 [29]

"...you, you."

김 남준 [28]

"She's my ex-wife..."

김 석진 [29]

"what?"

김 남준 [28]

"I guess you're a bit anxious about the fact that Yeoju is worried about Jeong Ho-seok?"

김 석진 [29]

"My ex-wife, don't talk nonsense."

김 석진 [29]

"Haven't you seen it? It must have been at the reception."

김 석진 [29]

"Yeoju and I got married today."

김 석진 [29]

"Isn't it inevitable that you'll be angry?"

김 남준 [28]

"As the heroine said, isn't it okay to worry?"

김 남준 [28]

"I don't even know if my best friend of 10 years is alive or dead..."

김 석진 [29]

"What did that kid do to the female protagonist?"

김 남준 [28]

"Chairman Kim, you're the one who gave Yeoju everything she could to hurt her and still live a normal life."

김 남준 [28]

“There’s no reason why Jung Ho-seok can’t do that.”

김 남준 [28]

"When Chairman Kim was being mean, how much did Jeong Ho-seok protect Yeo-ju with his eyes burning brightly?"

김 남준 [28]

“Shouldn’t you be thankful instead?”

김 남준 [28]

"You should be thankful that the heroine didn't commit suicide back then."

김 석진 [29]

"The heroine forgave me, so she married me."

김 남준 [28]

"Looking at the fight you just had, it seems like you haven't forgiven him yet"

김 남준 [28]

"Seeing you fight while building up your self-esteem... Chairman Kim, as expected, hasn't changed at all."

김 석진 [29]

"Hey Kim Namjoon. What makes you different? Don't interfere. Don't act like you're righteous and hypocritical."

Then, suddenly, Kim Namjoon grabbed me by the collar with both hands. His gaze was noticeably different from before, a gaze I'd never seen before. It wasn't angry, but rather a look of calm, a look of rage.

김 남준 [28]

"Watch your words_ who said you were being hypocritical?"

김 남준 [28]

"I held it in for a long time, but now I look like a fucking idiot."

김 남준 [28]

"If I put my mind to it, I can control the heroine as I please."

김 남준 [28]

"So, whether it's stamping the divorce papers with Yeoju again, filing for divorce, having a huge fight, or killing Jeong Ho-seok."

김 남준 [28]

"Try it out, just once."

김 남준 [28]

"I'll change my behavior depending on how you do it."

Only then did Kim Namjoon, his trembling hands free from his grip on my collar, walk away from the hospital room. "This is hilarious. I'm just scaring you for no reason."

김 석진 [29]

"...You crazy bastard. Let's see who wins."

Among the VIP wards, at the end of the hallway, in the most remote corner, lies Jeong Ho-seok's hospital room. He was admitted to this room with money secretly donated by the P Group, hoping to secure a better room for himself.

I opened the door and went inside, and he seemed to be working, wrapped in several casts and typing on a laptop with one hand. Chairman Jeong of P Group, you haven't changed at all.

김 남준 [28]

"Your brother is here and you don't even say hello?"

정 호석 [28]

"Can't you see I'm busy, bro~"

김 남준 [28]

"Did you have to rush to work? Do you really have to do this when you're injured?"

정 호석 [28]

"If it's for P Group to do well again, there's no reason they can't do this much."

김 남준 [28]

"Have you really... eaten?"

정 호석 [28]

"I eat the hospital food here because it's delicious. The VIP ward seems a little different."

김 남준 [28]

"That's too bad, I was going to buy you your favorite chicken."

정 호석 [28]

"Hey, didn't you know that chicken stomach and rice stomach are separate?"

김 남준 [28]

"I knew it. Just wait a minute."

For the first time in a long time, Jung Ho-seok and I were in a good mood, bursting into laughter. Perhaps this was the kind of happiness Jung Ho-seok had been hoping for.

정 호석 [28]

“Kim Seok-jin, you seem quite upset?”

김 남준 [28]

"Did you see? I told you not to come out."

정 호석 [28]

"No way~"

정 호석 [28]

"Did I see it myself?"

Jung Ho-seok winked out of nowhere, took out his phone, opened an app, put on some earphones, and handed them to me.

정 호석 [28]

"P Group, where are you not going?"

The sound you hear when you put on the earphones is,

Kim Seok-jin's voice,

Park Eun-seo's voice.

김 남준 [28]

"uh...?"

박 은서 [26]

@ "Long time no see, oppa."

김 석진 [29]

@ "...why are you here."

박 은서 [26]

@ "Can't I come too?"

박 은서 [26]

@ "My brother's wife was injured."

김 석진 [29]

@ "What is that nurse's uniform?"

김 석진 [29]

@ "No way... Are you the nurse who came in earlier?"

박 은서 [26]

@ "After I got punished, I had nothing to do~"

박 은서 [26]

@ "I used to have a nursing license, but is this how it's used?"

김 석진 [29]

@ "Get out, get away from the heroine."

박 은서 [26]

@ "I have no business seeing the female protagonist."

박 은서 [26]

@ "I came to see you today, so do you want to go up to the rooftop to talk for a bit?"

김 석진 [29]

@ "How do I know what you'll do to me and what you'll say to me, so I trust you and follow you?"

김 석진 [29]

@ "I know what will happen to the female protagonist."

박 은서 [26]

@ "Well~ I'm saying that I'm not interested in bothering you anymore?"

박 은서 [26]

@ "Just give me a moment. Will you come with me?"

박 은서 [26]

@ "I changed my mind, so I don't know what kind of harm will be done to you, Yeoju."

김 석진 [29]

@ "...You haven't changed at all."

박 은서 [26]

@ "They say that when a person changes, he dies."

김 석진 [29]

@ "You fight even if you die, and it's also a blessing to be able to walk around normally."

박 은서 [26]

@ "Even you, oppa, can't be that honest."

박 은서 [26]

@ "I'm the one who can open this door right now and go in and kill the female protagonist."

박 은서 [26]

@ "Wouldn't it be better to follow me obediently instead of spitting on what I say?"

김 석진 [29]

@ "...take the lead."

김 남준 [28]

"......."

정 호석 [28]

"How about my surprise?"

김 남준 [28]

"...No, that's not the problem right now."

정 호석 [28]

"Are you so impressed?"

김 남준 [28]

"no..."

정 호석 [28]

"Then what is it? Your face has been stiff since earlier."

김 남준 [28]

"...Park Eun-seo and Kim Seok-jin, it seems like they went up to the rooftop to talk about something."

정 호석 [28]

"Eunseo Park? Why is Eunseo Park here?"

김 남준 [28]

"...I think I got my nursing license a long time ago."

김 남준 [28]

"I guess she got punished for not going to work at J Group and is now working as a temporary nurse at this hospital."

김 남준 [28]

"But I think he approached me intentionally. For some reason..."

김 남준 [28]

"It seems like the heroine has no intention of touching anything."

정 호석 [28]

"How can I trust that dark inside?"

김 남준 [28]

"By the way, when did you install the wiretapping device..."

정 호석 [28]

"We have an intelligence team on our side. Hacking Kim Seokjin's phone and installing an app is no easy task."

김 남준 [28]

"...Anyway, I think something is going to happen."

정 호석 [28]

"When was it ever quiet and not waking up?"

정 호석 [28]

"Ah, I'm bored. I want to go outside..."

정 호석 [28]

"I'm starting to miss the heroine who was ruined because of me."

That day, seeing Jung Ho-seok like that, for the first time, I felt like he was a psychopath. Perhaps that's why Yeo-ju wanted to forgive Jung Ho-seok, but couldn't.

Come to your senses, Kim Seok-jin, you must never fall for this vixen again.

김 석진 [29]

"...What are you trying to say?"

박 은서 [26]

"It's been a while_ It's nice to see you again."

박 은서 [26]

"As you might have guessed... I came because I wanted to see you again."

김 석진 [29]

"That's funny_ Do you think I'll meet you again?"

박 은서 [26]

"No way."

박 은서 [26]

"Team Leader Jeong, no, now you're Chairman Jeong."

박 은서 [26]

"Oppa, you were growling at Chairman Jeong and he said everything was forgiven, what was that?"

김 석진 [29]

"That's right. It's true."

박 은서 [26]

"Did you think I didn't know that you had someone behind Yeoju-unnie's back to keep an eye on her for about a month?"

김 석진 [29]

"...what?"

Then, a few photos flashed before my eyes and fell to the floor. When I picked them up, I saw that a man with a hat pulled down low was chasing after the female lead.

The hat I wore was J Group... and it had a logo only high-ranking employees wore. I always gave each of them a hat, thanking them for their hard work.

But how did Park Eun-seo, who was only a deputy, know the meaning of this hat? And when was this photo taken? My head was already starting to hurt.

He said that he had someone assigned to him to monitor who he met so that he wouldn't be swayed by Jeong Ho-seok, but why is this still in Eunseo Park's hand as photographic evidence?

As I was looking at the photos with an embarrassed expression, Eunseo Park snatched the photo from my hand and spoke.

박 은서 [26]

"Should I show this picture to my older sister right now and tell her that her husband is like this?"

박 은서 [26]

"Or, you should tell your older sister Yeoju that you can't meet her because you keep worrying about Jung Ho-seok, and then come to me after getting a divorce."

박 은서 [26]

"Ah~ But it's thrilling. Is this what it feels like when you threaten someone, oppa?"

박 은서 [26]

"You must have been through a lot, haven't you?"

What I started for your happiness ended up holding me back. I wonder if this is how Jung Ho-seok felt. I'm only now beginning to regret it.

김 석진 [29]

"...Give me just one day to decide."

박 은서 [26]

"Well, I can show that much kindness."

박 은서 [26]

"You idiot. Don't you think he might have made some kind of deal with the female protagonist?"

선 여주 [28]

"Would you please take off your nurse's hat?"

박 은서 [26]

"...Oh, I got caught, sis."

박 은서 [26]

"How have you been, sister?"

선 여주 [28]

"...Why are you here?"

박 은서 [26]

"I came because I missed you, unnie~"

선 여주 [28]

"...Get out now."

박 은서 [26]

"Hey, what's wrong? I won't do anything, just answer the questions."

Seeing you standing in front of me again after tormenting me like that... I guess the world really is unfair.

박 은서 [26]

"Seokjin oppa, do you truly love me?"

선 여주 [28]

"You're already married, so how could you not love me?"

박 은서 [26]

"Well, I don't think they'll last long and they'll probably end up stamping the divorce papers."

선 여주 [28]

"Who are you to judge our relationship so rashly?"

박 은서 [26]

"You still have feelings for Chairman Jeong, don't you?"

선 여주 [28]

"What kind of regret do you have left?"

선 여주 [28]

"I have no desire to meet that crazy bastard who is so obsessed with me again"

박 은서 [26]

"Well... if you hate it so much, why did you collapse?"

선 여주 [28]

"A person is dying, a person falls and dies right before my eyes!"

박 은서 [26]

"Isn't it still unknown whether he's dead or not?"

선 여주 [28]

"A person fell from the 20th floor..."

선 여주 [28]

"How can you just get kicked out without dying? I'm going crazy because Namjoon didn't even tell me the funeral date, so why don't you get out right now?!"

정 호석 [28]

• "The bandage is so uncomfortable"

선 여주 [28]

".....!!!!!"

Jung Ho-seok's voice... Jung Ho-seok's voice was clearly piercing into my ears, so I looked towards the hospital room door, but Jung Ho-seok wasn't there. When I looked at where the voice was coming from, it was Park Eun-seo's cell phone.

정 호석 [28]

• “Did you jump for no reason like you said?”

김 남준 [28]

• "...even though I died and came back to life."

선 여주 [28]

".........what is this."

박 은서 [26]

"The recording date is today."

박 은서 [26]

"It's your choice to believe what you want..."

박 은서 [26]

"Make a contract with me_"

선 여주 [28]

"........."

박 은서 [26]

"I want Seokjin oppa. If you divorce me, I'll mobilize everyone to help Chairman Jeong heal."

선 여주 [28]

"...therapy?"

박 은서 [26]

"Hehe, the recording date is today, right?"

박 은서 [26]

"I'll be meeting Chairman Jeong soon, so make up your mind before then."

박 은서 [26]

"Let's not just bite each other... let's benefit each other."

박 은서 [26]

"You still haven't forgiven me because of what happened in the past, right?"

박 은서 [26]

"I guess I was more attractive in your eyes, oppa"

I slapped away Eunseo Park's hand as she tucked my hair behind her ear with a cheeky smile, but her expression didn't change at all, and I thought, "You're still the same."

박 은서 [26]

"Don't tell anyone that Chairman Jeong is alive."

박 은서 [26]

"Well, I guess you're too shocked to say anything right now."

Drumroll_

widely_!

선 여주 [28]

"...Jung Ho-seok, is alive?"

If Jung Ho-seok were alive, how would I feel? How would I act? I'd immediately pull the IV needle out of my wrist and go looking for him, bleeding profusely or not. But Kim Seok-jin would be out there...

선 여주 [28]

".....Jung Ho-seok, are you really alive?"

"Honey, I told you I'd be back."

선 여주 [28]

"....uh?"

정 호석 [28]

"I'm back. Jake... I don't know if you remember."

선 여주 [28]

"...Jung Ho-seok."

정 호석 [28]

"Long time no see, heroine."

Now it was time to put what I'd only dreamed into action. Jeong Ho-seok was right before my eyes. He was smiling, seemingly normal, with just a bandage wrapped around him... The feelings of longing and resentment began to surge through my mind like a tidal wave.

[Preview]

박 은서 [26]

"Brother, it's been a while since I've seen you. Can I hug you?"

정 호석 [28]

"You said you made some kind of deal? I didn't see it that way. You've grown a lot, my heroine~"

정 호석 [28]

"Do you want to make a contract with me too?"

정 호석 [28]

"Business Love Contract."
