Chapter 502 – The Ugly Truth (1)
He is nearly 2 m tall.
The rugged muscles that cover that tall body.
From the angular and thick chin to the beaky eyes.
These characteristics created a small prejudice in those who saw him.
That person definitely has rough and violent tendencies.
But this is wrong.
Anyone who has ever talked to him knows this.
What a thorough and cool-headed person he is.
But why is it so full of dirty heat now?
The reason was because of Han Joo-yeon.
I’ve been in love with her for 10 years, and I met her again when she confessed to me.
And in a completely unexpected place.
For Morgan Paul, that meeting was very sweet.
‘Maybe she and I are meant to be.’
So much so that I feel like it’s my destiny to be with her.
He approached with a happy heart.
“Juyeon!”
Calling her name vigorously.
“Morgan… ?!”
She was embarrassed at first, but soon she also welcomed him warmly.
Yes.
“Main actor…, Are you ever thinking of coming back…”
Until I asked if I would come back.
From this point on, Han Joo-yeon suddenly turned cold.
“I’m sorry, Morgan. “I’m not going back.”
It was shocking.
From when she joined the guild to her final contract.
He and the guild did their best.
Not only did she receive the best treatment in the industry, but any request she made was granted.
But such a harsh rejection.
It was from then on.
A dirty heat began to fill his head.
“I want to talk to you a little more.”
“Sorry. “I have nothing more to say.”
A cold rejection after an earnest request.
The more he did it, the more he burned.
Then it got to this point.
I unconsciously stretched out my hand towards her who wasn’t even looking at me anymore.
Tak!
A man who appeared out of nowhere was pushed aside by Kim Do-jin.
Stinging pain felt on the back of the hand.
“And then the hairs on your hands fly off?”
And even the provocative remarks of a distant junior.
If it were him, he would have quickly recognized and accepted the fact that it was his fault.
Of course, the other person’s words and actions were a little sharp, but the reason is mine.
But not now.
“My wrist is flying off… ?”
It’s rising.
The anger of someone who was not chosen and abandoned by the one they love.
“It would be impossible with that level of skill.”
She pours out her love for the man she loved.
Intense pressure as if pressed from top to bottom.
But Kim Do-jin didn’t care and made fun of her mouth.
“How can I cut it for you? Since the saint is here, we can avoid being maimed.”
A situation that seems as if it could explode at any moment if given the slightest chance.
It was when the saint, who realized the seriousness of the situation, was about to step forward to stop the two people.
“Both of you stop!”
Han Ju-yeon, who had been staying behind Kim Do-jin’s back, suddenly jumped out and blocked the gap between the two.
Then, the energy that had slowly taken over the surroundings disappeared as if it had never happened.
The two men who couldn’t bear to hurt her took away her energy.
She didn’t miss this moment and took the initiative with her angry face.
“What are they doing now? “Have you forgotten where you are?”
“Uh, um.”
“That…”
Two people who are very embarrassed.
I forgot about it for a moment.
What kind of place is this right now?
“It would be really worth seeing if there was a big fight here.”
The two people bowed their heads in response to the sharp criticism.
They keenly realized their mistake.
This is a one-night festival where world-class celebrities gather to laugh and chat.
What would happen if a fight broke out in a place like that?
‘I almost turned the world into an enemy.’
‘I almost got screwed.’
It wasn’t an exaggeration.
If the people gathered here joined together to reject the two people, it would have created a lot of pressure.
Morgan, who regained his composure at the dizzying look of her hair, lowered her head towards Han Ju-yeon.
“… I’m sorry, Juyeon.”
A sincere apology delivered in a more humble tone.
“I think I was thinking about bringing you back somehow. I wanted to talk a little more calmly…, I ruined everything.”
Clean acknowledgment and apology.
Han Ju-yeon’s anger eased slightly when she saw her old colleague belatedly returning to normal.
“Ha…, I’m sorry too. “I didn’t mean to be so cold-hearted.”
“No. “It’s my fault for sticking with you persistently even though you said you didn’t like it.”
Han Joo-yeon smiles softly at his attitude of humbly accepting all his mistakes.
“Hehe…, I think the Morgan I knew has finally returned.”
“Okay, don’t make fun of me. “I’m amazed at myself like this.”
Kim Do-jin, watching this, was dumbfounded.
‘What is that?’
The two people, who were arguing just a moment ago, are talking in a friendly atmosphere as if it’s the first time they’ve done so.
“It’s a shame. “My colleagues miss you a lot too.”
“You should have come together.”
“They refused. “They said they just hate this kind of position.”
“But…, I didn’t like this place very much because everyone was unique.”
“That’s right.”
It was not easy to intervene.
Because their conversation is a memory shared by just the two of them inside this banquet hall.
In a situation where I couldn’t do this or that, only ugly jealousy burned.
A man who knows her past that she does not know.
She is my woman who laughs and chats happily with him.
A thought crossed her mind that if she made a mistake, she might leave.
‘If you come out right now and tear things apart between them…’
I can barely suppress the urge that suddenly surges.
Even if we force a separation between the two people.
I’ll just show my base jealousy that I don’t want others to see.
“Well, it’s difficult.”
Kim Do-jin is confused by a base jealousy that he has never felt before.
One thing was certain.
“… “It’s not fun.”
This banquet, which everyone dreams of attending at least once in their lives, has become horribly boring.
Kim Do-jin immediately turns his back and walks out of the banquet hall.
That was the end of the second congregational meeting I participated in after the time of Son Si-woo.
* * *
When I’m standing, I want to sit down, and when I’m sitting, I want to lie down.
In this way, people are beings who constantly hope from the moment they are born until just before they die.
She was no different.
At first, she thought it would be the end if she ended up with him in any way.
I’m actually happy too.
How could you not be happy that you broke up a relationship that you could never have dreamed of, and that even though the relationship was not clearly defined, it has developed into a relationship that can safely be considered lovers.
However, I only realized it too late.
The fact that the moment people are satisfied, they have no choice but to stay in that place and become stagnant.
In other words, stagnation means elimination.
While others are struggling to take even one step further, if you are the only one standing there, you will fall behind and end up being left out.
This also applies to human relationships.
‘It can’t stay like this.’
You can feel it even without hearing it or seeing it.
Where are the other women who are in a relationship with Kim Do-jin staying?
Those who were either ahead or behind until a few months ago have noticeably moved away.
While she was happy that she could be with him, they were not satisfied and kept moving forward.
From there, a dizzying sense of crisis rose.
‘It’s not time to stop yet.’
I take a step again.
However, it is impossible to catch up with those ahead at the same speed.
So I decided to take it out.
The dark delusions written in the diary I kept open when I was bored in the United States.
When she became her lover, she had various desires that she wanted to try at least once.
The passionate affair they had on an airplane is one of them.
And upon a chance reunion with her old colleague at the altar, Morgan Paul, she decided to get her second wind.
“… I think this is enough.”
“Hehe, you worked hard.”
As soon as Morgan Paul finished her performance, she smiled bitterly as she looked down at Han Joo-yeon, who was only looking at her place where Kim Do-jin had left, as if she didn’t even care about herself.
“You’re a terrible woman too.”
“Oh my, me?”
“You’re using a man who liked you for 10 years just to make another man jealous… “Is there anything more terrible than this?”
It may have all been an act for her, but it wasn’t for him.
He has loved her for 10 years.
She truly regretted letting her go, and she still missed her.
Not long after meeting her, she was asked to act.
So she had an extremely bitter appetite.
Never in her wildest dreams did she know that 10 years of unrequited love would end so cruelly.
Han Joo-yeon’s eyes turned to Morgan.
“I’m sorry, Morgan. “They remember me as a bad bitch like no other in the world.”
A sincere apology.
But what made Morgan’s heart break even more than that was her will.
A strong, yet somehow twisted will that doesn’t matter if others remember her in order to win over the heart of the man who left a little while ago.
“You tried for 10 years to win my heart.”
“… “It was like that.”
“I endured 20 years to be with that person.”
I left because it could never be concluded.
However, I couldn’t let her go completely away from my heart, so I spent 20 years keeping it intact.
They say that when the distance between each other grows, her heart also grows apart, but she couldn’t relate to her.
In that case, I went to my hometown to at least see his face.
And suddenly, I had an opportunity.
A golden opportunity to take him without any hesitation and live as his life-long companion.
After tasting a little of that dizzying fruit, she became even more infatuated and became even more twisted.
Even if she used a little strong sweetener, she wanted to light a fire in his heart.
Even if it smelled ugly, she hoped to make the fire against herself grow stronger.
Finally succeeded.
He used the heart of a grateful person who had liked him for 10 years as mere kindling.
Now is the time to transfer that flame to my body.
“I can’t be anything other than that person, Morgan. So, you too, just forget about me.”
“… That’s right.”
“I will pray that I meet a better woman than a woman like me. Bye then.”
Han Joo-yeon quickly says goodbye and walks away.
I hope for a moment that the heartfelt blessing contained in the last greeting will stop the terrible pain of heartbreak.
“For a moment…, 20 years?”
Feeling puzzled, he immediately took out his smartphone and searched for Kim Do-jin.
His age listed in the search bar is 22 in Korean.
That means.
“… “You’ve had your eyes on him since he was two years old?”
Tuk!
A smartphone falling helplessly to the floor.
The abyss he suddenly encountered plunged him into a state of shock.
