[Break] The Chairman is a womanizer

#37: The End of a Relationship

It felt like time had stopped. Jung Ho-seok, whom I'd longed to see so much, was standing right in front of me, smiling brightly.

All emotions were intertwined. Like a tidal wave, the longing to see you, the relief at being alive, the countless times I'd asked why you jumped, the regret of not being better, and the hatred I felt for you all the same.

You, whom I tried to turn away from, wanted to forgive but couldn't, and I, who loved you. In the end, tears brighter than crystal fell one by one from my eyes, where you were reflected.

정 호석 [28]

"You cry as soon as you see me~"

정 호석 [28]

"You pretended to be strong, but in the end, you're still the same."

선 여주 [28]

"...You really are a fool..."

정 호석 [28]

"Just stop it"

선 여주 [28]

"It's so annoying... why did you jump...!"

정 호석 [28]

“I can’t stand to see you marry Kim Seokjin with my own eyes.”

선 여주 [28]

"Is that all your plan was?"

선 여주 [28]

"You should have strangled her or cursed her like you did with Park Eun-seo..."

선 여주 [28]

"I wish I could hate you!"

정 호석 [28]

"Because I couldn't hate you either."

정 호석 [28]

"I knew it all, you were shaken by me."

정 호석 [28]

"I had to do it this way so that you would come over to me more definitely."

정 호석 [28]

"Because sometimes cruel methods can lead to repentance."

선 여주 [28]

".....You could have just said it."

정 호석 [28]

"Okay, I'm sorry_"

Even though a lot of time has passed, you still gently wiped the tears from my eyes with your fingers and stayed by my side with a mysterious smile.

At this point, I was confused. Like Seokjin oppa said, who do I truly love? Was my concern for Jung Ho-seok simply a friend, or was it true love?

정 호석 [28]

"Are you feeling a little better? Do you want some water?"

선 여주 [28]

"Okay, you drink..."

정 호석 [28]

"That little brat's temper is still the same."

정 호석 [28]

"You didn't want to see me?"

선 여주 [28]

"You call that talking...!"

정 호석 [28]

"I guess you missed me?"

선 여주 [28]

"What do you really think of me as..."

정 호석 [28]

"My best friend~?"

정 호석 [28]

"Are you done?"

선 여주 [28]

"...What, what do you want me to do?"

정 호석 [28]

"It's ticking again"

정 호석 [28]

"Am I jumping again?"

선 여주 [28]

"Oh, no!"

정 호석 [28]

"I'm kidding, do you believe that?"

선 여주 [28]

"You really! I'm jumping, really..."

정 호석 [28]

"Oh, go ahead~ You don't even have the guts to do that."

선 여주 [28]

".....I hate you."

Tiring_!

정 호석 [28]

"......."

The moment when they were chatting and making jokes about being the only ones being teased, the peace was broken by the sound of Jung Ho-seok's phone ringing, and Jung Ho-seok's expression hardened.

정 호석 [28]

"...I think I need to go out for a bit."

Drumroll!

박 은서 [26]

"Why aren't you answering my calls?"

선 여주 [28]

"......Park Eun-seo?"

정 호석 [28]

"...I told you not to come in at all, because I'll take care of it."

박 은서 [26]

"You are the very talented Chairman Jeong of P Group~"

박 은서 [26]

"And why did you meet the female protagonist first?"

선 여주 [28]

".....uh?"

박 은서 [26]

"This would be a breach of contract, wouldn't it, Chairman Jeong?"

정 호석 [28]

"Okay, then go out and talk."

박 은서 [26]

"I think you forgot who's in control right now...

As Park Eun-seo tried to continue speaking, Jeong Ho-seok quickly grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the hospital room. The world's greatest Jeong Ho-seok was powerless against a mere Park Eun-seo.

I closed my eyes tightly as I saw the image of Park Eun-seo, who had once been pushed to the edge of a cliff while being manipulated.

김 석진 [26]

["If this was going to happen, why did you marry me?"]

선 여주 [28]

"...the person I truly love."

Now I don't know the answer to that question either.

정 호석 [28]

"What are you doing... Are you crazy?"

박 은서 [26]

"Why are you so excited~"

정 호석 [28]

"Why are you acting so selfishly? If you're going to do this, you should have just cancelled the contract and everything."

박 은서 [26]

"I have nothing to lose. Rather, isn't it Chairman Jeong who will suffer more?"

정 호석 [28]

“If you do it like this, I’ll ruin all your plans to seduce Kim Seok-jin.”

정 호석 [28]

"If you just tell Seokjin Kim, you're finished."

박 은서 [26]

"Tell me, what happens?"

박 은서 [26]

"In that case, please remember that the female protagonist will not be safe either."

박 은서 [26]

"Unless you want to be reminded of that nightmare from long ago."

박 은서 [26]

"You'd better not do anything foolish."

정 호석 [28]

"...I never meant to join hands with a bitch like you in the first place."

박 은서 [26]

"What can I do since I've already caught it?"

박 은서 [26]

"Think of it as fate"

정 호석 [28]

"That bastard's fate."

박 은서 [26]

"Let's go in now. We don't want to get caught by the heroine, right?"

정 호석 [28]

"...I see."

정 호석 [28]

"I have one last request to make."

정 호석 [28]

"If you act selfishly one more time, I will use all my power to make sure you can never hold your head up again for the rest of your life."

박 은서 [26]

"Be fierce~ Okay, I understand, so let's go in."

That vixen bitch, once this plan is over, I'll nip her in the bud. I won't let her mess with me again.

Drumroll_

선 여주 [28]

"Jung Ho-seok~ I'm here."

김 석진 [29]

"......Jung Ho-seok?"

선 여주 [28]

"...Ah, ah, oppa."

When I heard the door open, I thought it was Jeong Hoseok coming in, but when I raised my head, Seokjin oppa was standing there, wiggling his eyebrows.

김 석진 [29]

"...Jung Ho-seok."

김 석진 [29]

"What does that mean?"

선 여주 [28]

"...That's it, oppa."

김 석진 [29]

"Jung Ho-seok is alive? When did you meet him again?"

김 석진 [29]

"Why are you hiding so much from me...!"

선 여주 [28]

"......Brother."

선 여주 [28]

"Shall we take some time?"

Seokjin oppa, who had been crying and shouting for a moment, suddenly hardened his expression and became cold at my words.

김 석진 [29]

"...Why is that such a one-sided announcement all of a sudden?"

김 석진 [29]

"If you were going to make decisions on your own from last time, why did you marry me?"

김 석진 [29]

"Why are you always so impulsive?"

선 여주 [28]

"It's not impulsive, I thought about it a lot."

선 여주 [28]

"You felt it too, oppa, that we are not the same as before."

선 여주 [28]

"and..."

김 석진 [29]

"........"

선 여주 [28]

"We can't go back to the way things were."

김 석진 [29]

"...Why, why doesn't that work?"

선 여주 [28]

"We... already broke up once."

선 여주 [28]

"As you know, oppa, the eyes of those around you are not good either."

선 여주 [28]

"Who doesn't know that my brother had an affair with Park Eun-seo and divorced me?"

선 여주 [28]

"It's spread so much that not only the article but also everyone at the company knows about it."

선 여주 [28]

"I've blocked all the wedding articles, but one day everyone will find out."

김 석진 [29]

"So, you want to end it with me now?"

선 여주 [28]

"I'm not saying let's end it. Who's going to end it?"

Again, the voices grew louder. The thought of how many times I'd have to replay this relationship, how it would continue, was already making my head spin.

선 여주 [28]

"...Ha_ Okay, go out. My head hurts."

김 석진 [29]

"Does your head hurt? Where does it hurt?"

And in that confusing situation, it was really an accidental act that I slapped Seokjin oppa's hand away when he put his hand on my head when he said it hurt.

김 석진 [29]

"....."

선 여주 [28]

"...sorry."

Seokjin oppa, his eyes filled with worry turned cold and he turned to leave the hospital room and opened the door.

And Jeong Ho-seok standing in front of him.

정 호석 [28]

"...hello."

정 호석 [28]

"Wow... the sunlight has really damaged you."

정 호석 [28]

"This messy look suits you very well, doesn't it?"

김 석진 [29]

"...go away."

정 호석 [28]

"Hello, Chairman~"

Why did I secretly enjoy Jung Ho-seok's landslide victory in the duel? Why do I like this side of you, too?

정 호석 [28]

"How have you been?"

선 여주 [28]

"Yeah... so-so?"

선 여주 [28]

“Did you have a good talk with Park Eun-seo?”

정 호석 [28]

"Yeah, I found out something very interesting too."

선 여주 [28]

"Huh? What is it?"

정 호석 [28]

"....."

정 호석 [28]

"You're crazy, Jung Ho-seok... holding hands with Park Eun-seo."

박 은서 [26]

"Mr. Jung Ho-seok!"

정 호석 [28]

"Hah, what is it again?"

박 은서 [26]

"I thought it would be good for you to know."

박 은서 [26]

"The female protagonist made a contract with me."

정 호석 [28]

"I'm not particularly curious. There's no way the female protagonist would do that."

박 은서 [26]

"You can think about it however you want, but I'll tell you what to do first."

박 은서 [26]

"In exchange for giving my all to Jung Ho-seok's treatment, I asked him to divorce Seok Jin oppa."

박 은서 [26]

"Jung Ho-seok also played a recording of the conversation he had with Kim Nam-joon on the rooftop, so he seemed a bit worried."

정 호석 [28]

"...the female protagonist?"

박 은서 [26]

"Yes, I think it would be more appropriate to say that there are cracks in the relationship between the two."

박 은서 [26]

"You should also know this, it seems like the female lead is interested in Mr. Jeong Ho-seok."

정 호석 [28]

".....To me? The heroine?"

박 은서 [26]

"If you don't want to believe it, you don't have to"

박 은서 [26]

"I just told you the truth, so don't blame me later~"

Park Eun-seo, her blonde hair fluttering, seemed to have finished speaking, and resumed her duties as a nurse, going in and out of other patients' rooms. Only my confusion and the cold wind remained on the stairs.

정 호석 [28]

"...Our heroine, while I was away, you made some kind of deal with Park Eun-seo?"

정 호석 [28]

"You've grown so much~ I knew you'd even sign a contract."

선 여주 [28]

"Ah... I was just trying to grab onto straws."

정 호석 [28]

"Really? Then do you want to sign a contract with me too?"

선 여주 [28]

"Huh...? What is it?"

정 호석 [28]

"Business Love Contract."

You looked flustered. A business love contract? It was unheard of, and hearing it from me must have been even more embarrassing.

선 여주 [28]

"suddenly...?"

정 호석 [28]

"Yeah, my revenge isn't over yet."

선 여주 [28]

"...But why is it a business love contract?"

정 호석 [28]

"Why, are you suggesting we make a real love contract?"

정 호석 [28]

"You and... me?"

선 여주 [28]

"You say it as if it's absolutely impossible."

정 호석 [28]

"...huh."

정 호석 [28]

"If you hate me, I can't help but hate you too."

정 호석 [28]

"You always treated me as an object of hatred..."

정 호석 [28]

"I was watching you from a few feet away."

정 호석 [28]

"I don't know what started your hatred for me after I lost my sight."

정 호석 [28]

"You know very well that we're already over."

선 여주 [28]

"...That's not it, I was immature back then."

선 여주 [28]

"Now I want you...!"

정 호석 [28]

"If you wanted to say that, you should have said it before I threw myself into it because of you."

정 호석 [28]

"It's over with both Seokjin Kim and me."

정 호석 [28]

"What more do you want from me?"

선 여주 [28]

"...Yeah, I'm sorry."

정 호석 [28]

"Let's make a business love contract. I prepared it because I thought you might be disappointed."

정 호석 [28]

"I hope you like it. My spectacular comeback, and our relationship."

선 여주 [28]

"...Yeah. I like it."

In the end, I watched you completely collapse, and tried not to collapse, but I stood on the edge of the cliff, my legs tensing up.

Was it really going to end here between you and me?

[Preview]

정 호석 [28]

"love you_"

선 여주 [28]

"I want to end it with you, oppa."

김 석진 [29]

"정호석 그 개새끼 죽여버릴거야."
