Chapter 77 – 09. Sehee Kang.
09. Sehee Kang.
“Grandpa…Father…Suddenly…”
A few days after that happened.
Se-hee was called out of nowhere and heard shocking words.
“You’re 29 now. You’ve waited a long time for this.”
“Ha, Grandpa. Just this year…Just wait until this year—-.”
“Noisy! Still, I thought of you and watched the damn Nong wondering if it was Unhyeon or fate, but putting aside the trivial things, I had no heart for you in the first place. What the hell are you looking at and asking me to wait more! So far, it’s been 9 years. 9 years. !”
“…”
Sehee bit her lip and shook her head.
Now, if you wait a little longer, Unhyeon will accept it. But is it all like this?
“… He broke off the engagement. And he said he would accept me! Just a little bit… Just a little bit longer—-“
“Even after two years!”
Damn!
The chairman hit the floor with a whip-like cane.
Surprised Sehee flinched.
“Yes. I know that he broke up his marriage. But, a guy with no roots dares to accept the granddaughter of the Hyesung group? Accept it? Where are you talking arrogantly!”
“I-I don’t mean that…”
“There’s a limit to embarrassing the company! Even if I get married right now, I won’t allow it!!”
“Grandfather…”
“You should come to your senses, too. How young are you? When I was twenty, I got married and had three or four children!”
“…”
Sehee lowered her head.
Tears welled up in his sharp eyes her.
“It’s no use crying. I don’t know if you succeeded, but your love, which has only failed for nearly 10 years, is over. It can’t be anymore.”
Eventually, she sobbed silently.
If you say this far, it’s already a decision. There is no such thing as veto power.
If you want to go against Jung, you have no choice but to cut ties with him and leave Hyesung Group.
However, if he turns his back on the group and marries Unhyeon, can he be happy? In Korea, where low-income capitalism is dominant enough to say that money is king, it may be difficult to even make a living if the top 10 group, Hyesung Group, actively interferes.
Maybe life itself is dangerous.
‘I’m fine… But you won’t kill me anyway. But Unhyeon…’
It would be better if I was alone. I can’t do it alone.
‘Asshole… So… So. You wished you had chosen me from the beginning… You asshole…’
Tears were dripping down, but the chairman did not budge.
Rather, he held out a picture as if to stop quickly.
“Iza is the man you want to become a concubine. He’s been told to be sent from tomorrow, so he behaves himself.”
Suddenly, the tears stopped flowing.
Are you a concubine?
“Concubine… Is it?”
“Then, did you think she could eat 29 and go home?”
“…”
She was dumbfounded and unable to speak properly.
Are you a concubine? A concubine in Korea, the most democratic country in Asia in the 21st century?
“It reveals a lot of women, but compared to her abilities of her, that’s nothing to fault. Keep in mind, you’re my granddaughter, the chairman of Hyesung Group. You must never discredit the company.”
“Wait…Wait! Where’s that? A concubine! It’s the 21st century now! In a world like these days, who—-.”
“Originally, the flow of the times is slow in the political and business world. Just keep quiet and obey.”
“Such… Concubines are completely illegal! They say you can’t even get married!
“It’s noisy!! I raised him and he said to me bluntly. If you go, I’ll go. What are you talking about so much!!”
“…”
“You don’t have to do anything like marriage. The reason I’m sending you anyway is because it’s half business and half insurance.”
“…Insurance?”
“Yes. He is a man who will rule the world in the future. Compared to him, our group is still a kid.”
“Who the hell are you…”
Who can make the president so awe-inspiring?
As she picked up her picture her with her trembling hands, she felt all the blood in her body her dry up.
“…!!”
A face so familiar.
A face that wants to die at the same time.
There is no way she will forget him who insulted her Unhyeon and insulted herself. She was going to the teeth her to get her revenge her somehow.
By the way…
To become a concubine of such a human?
-I’m the one who can buy you.
Creepy.
In an instant, the words she heard from Yueun were played back, and goose bumps ran through her whole body.
Come to think of it, that day, she openly pushed for a meeting with her grandfather.
‘No way…You really… Bought me…?’
It is astonishing.
Yes, arranged marriages do take the form of buying and selling to some extent.
But this time, something feels blatant.
It’s strange enough that a nonsensical word like concubine came out in the first place.
“It’s only one city yet. But his power is real. No one can stand against it. In one year, the whole world will pay attention, and in five years, the earth will revolve around him. There’s nothing wrong with being a concubine of such a man. Rather, It’s a good business man’s job to invest when prices are low.”
It’s an investment
Some people say their life itself is ruined, but they express it as an investment.
“…Grandpa, are you really going to do this?”
“Okay.”
“…”
“Tomorrow, move to the address you wrote down. From now on, that’s your house. If there’s something missing, tell me anytime.”
“…”
Her address is the one she visited a few days ago. The home of a guild called Harem Palace.
In other words, it is Yueun’s house her.
Despair.
Those words got engraved into my head.
‘Fuck…’
The swear words that keep coming out.
I can no longer wish for a lifetime with Unhyeon.
I don’t know what it would be like if it was a secret tryst, but at least I couldn’t connect with him.
‘Tomorrow…’
There, time is running out. If I had to go live there starting tomorrow…
‘Let’s meet today. Let’s meet, even if it’s my virgin… I’ll give it to Unhyeon.’
It has been kept for a very long time.
In order to give him even a little more joy, he endured all kinds of temptations.
I didn’t want to give the result to that cheeky scumbag.
But…
“If you’re thinking of meeting him for the last time or whatever, stop. You’re very busy today.”
“…Let me at least say goodbye.”
“Can’t be done.”
“Grandfather!”
“Do you know what you’re going to do!! Do you think I can’t read your mind!”
“…”
Sehee glared at him with wide eyes and bit her lip.
“Being like a child is enough until yesterday.”
The chairman finished his speech and sent instructions to let him out with his chin.
“Sir, let’s go.”
“…I’m disappointed, Grandpa.”
“Huh.”
As soon as I got up and turned around, tears poured out of my eyes.
I had been thinking that maybe one day something like this would happen, but it really happened in the worst possible way.
Leaving her president’s office, her secretary her, who followed her, clung to her.
“Director, I have a meeting with the lady-in-waiting over there in an hour.”
“The maid of honor… Is it?”
“He is the former guild leader of the Stone Age Guild, which can be called the predecessor of the Harem Palace Guild. You can say that he is Lim Seo-Hyun, and he is actually in charge of the guild.”
“…I’ll make a call and come back.”
“Yes. You do.”
Confused, she approached her window.
I could see ant-like people coming and going under the high-rise building.
Tick-tit-tit.
Turrr.
A voice that goes through Unhyeon.
If it was usual, I would not receive it until the end, and then it would be connected to Sori Saem, but today, fortunately, I received it on time.
-Uh. What’s up?
“…”
I opened her mouth, but no words came out.
It just whimpers like a crucian carp.
Jureuk.
Tears flowed incessantly from both of her eyes.
After 14 years of continuous love, she eventually failed and fell in love.
Tears flowed incessantly at the thought of taking the end.
-What. Why did you call me and not say anything?
“…Hey.”
-…Are you crying?
He asks anxiously in a trembling voice.
Then she opened her mouth.
“Didn’t I say I’d wait for you?”
-…Uh. I’m thinking thank you Even though I’m sorry-.
“I’m getting married, you asshole.”
-…What?
“I told you so. Choose me a long time ago. Why are you making things difficult for nothing? Why are you making things like this?”
-You… What are you talking about all of a sudden?
“It’s too late…It’s too late. Starting tomorrow, I have to fawn as a concubine to a scumbag. Got it? It’s because of you. When I confessed to you, then…You should have accepted it. But …”
-…..
“Like this… Black… Ugh…”
In the end, Se-hee bursts into tears.
She was a woman who was usually evaluated as being as strong as her name her suggests, but at this moment, she could n’t help but cry.
Unhyeon was also silent while she cried.
She had nothing else to say, but he was also quite shocked.
What should I say, it should be said that he had such thoughts that Sehee would always be by his side.
Didn’t she say she would wait for me this time too? Maybe she was thinking about insurance.
But no.
Now, really, she’s leaving.
It’s not that he leaves her, it’s that she leaves him. That came as quite a shock and fear.
“…I just called to tell you that.”
After some control over her emotions, she spoke again. His tone her was still watery, but better than before.
-…Can we meet now?
“No.”
-Then tomorrow-.
“I told you. I’m going to the bastard tomorrow.”
-…Suddenly…
“What are you talking about, you idiot… I’m 29… I should have gotten married a few years ago, my grandfather waited for me.
-…..
“It’s over now, you asshole…It’s all over…Grandpa…Don’t wait anymore. He said it’s only until next year…But he says it’s not working. It’s over…”
-…..
He couldn’t speak any more.
Following Sora, now Sehee. A corner of my heart… No, it seems that the heart itself has been torn to pieces.
“Did you say you were going to get revenge on him? A bastard named Yoo Eun.”
-…Uh.
A slightly watery voice. Unhyeon was also crying.
She felt it too, and she was a little overjoyed, but she deliberately said it coldly, thinking that it was already over.
“Give up.”
-What?
“He’s my husband.”
-!!!
