Chapter 163 – Chapter 163
After hesitating for a while, I got lucky.
“What’s going on?”
At the question, Seo Hye-jung fiddled with the car in front of her.
She calmly waited for her thoughts to settle in her head.
“…I filed for divorce.”
As much as it was organized, her words were very calm. Seo Hye-jung, who was so lucky, told us the stories that had happened.
We sat down and waited for her to finish talking.
“Whoa… That’s all so far.”
Hearing everything, we looked at Seo Hye-jeong with pity.
We are in a position to listen, but how difficult it is for the person concerned. It was not light enough for us to hastily judge the weight and value of the struggle.
I didn’t force them to break up with my resume, it actually happened.
“…”
Ko Min-jung was even showing her tears.
“So, can I stay here for a while?”
Seo Hye-jeong asked Ko Min-jung as she came out.
“It’s too far away from my parents’ house to go to work… And I don’t want to see them anymore.”
“I’m fine. My brother…”
Ko Min-jung, who was so affectionate, gave permission without delay, but was waiting for my answer.
“I’m okay too, but is Teacher Seo okay?”
“Yes… I hired a lawyer and I have enough evidence.”
It was a fight that started with collecting all the evidence rationally and calmly, not emotionally prepared.
“Thank you.”
“What are you going to do with your luggage or something like that…”
It looked like it just came out. She didn’t seem to have packed up.
“You should get it. Her husband would have checked all the pictures by now.”
“Aha…”
The depth of my experience was too shallow to give any advice in this situation.
How many people have experienced divorce in their lives?
“Then…”
This time I looked at Joo Seo-yeon.
“Why did you come?”
Ju Seo-yeon, who was listening to her, shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m coming over to my friend’s house, what kind of permission do I need?”
“That’s right. Still, you visit a married friend’s house without saying anything.”
Joo Seo-yeon leaned on her chin and looked at her Go Min-jung.
“Can I come?”
“Sure!”
She thought that maybe she didn’t like Joo Seo-yeon. Surprisingly, Ko Min-jung readily answered, which made me even more puzzled.
“I think I have so much to learn from Teacher Joo!”
“Hmm…”
There was no way to know what happened between the two.
“Huh~, should I just live in this house?”
Joo Seo-yeon said with her eyes full of interest. Ju Seo-yeon took a step back when I noticed that she was flustered.
“No~, that’s it. There’s nothing to do after coming here~”
Although she spoke fluently, it somehow seemed to her that one day she too would enter this house.

Hyejeong Seo.
Evening when the sun goes down.
Tiririk.
When she unlocked the door and went inside, her husband was sitting there.
“Hye, Hyejeong.”
He sees her and smiles at her. However, Seo Hye-jeong had no feelings left.
The divorce papers and the photos he had collected so far were strewn about in front of him.
“My cell phone doesn’t work… Where did you go~. Huh? I think you’re misunderstanding…”
“It’s a misunderstanding for the two of you to hold hands and enter a motel.”
Even though it was still early autumn, it was so cold that it seemed like it would snow right away.
Seo Hye-jeong went inside her and began to pack her own things.
“Honey, Hyejeong. Listen to me for a moment.”
“…Do you think it only exists in pictures?”
Seo Hye-jeong got up from packing her things and stood right in front of her husband.
“Cherry blossoms. Did you go to see cherry blossoms in Gangwon-do? It was a meeting that day. Holding hands with a female employee and looking at cherry blossoms is a meeting? Do you think that’s all there is? Even if there were no photos, just seeing it with my own two eyes is enough evidence.”
“No divorce!”
A loud voice came out of his mouth. Despite the loud voice, Seo Hye-jung’s heart had already cooled down, so she didn’t show any reaction.
Seo Hye-jung said as she put the clothes she often wore back into her suitcase and came out to the living room.
“I’ll just say one thing. This house. I don’t want it. Property division? I don’t want the baby that will come out without asking, I don’t need child support, I’ll raise it with the money I earn rather than the money I earned with my dirty hands.”
Her husband couldn’t say anything.
He couldn’t even refute, he just stood there. What could he say in this situation?
The evidence is already overflowing and the divorce papers are all prepared.
If you are smart, you will already know.
That she had been preparing for a long time ago.
“I won’t say anything else. Just stamp the divorce papers. And I’ve already talked to their house and mine.”
“Ah…”
As long as it started moving like a runaway locomotive, it only looked ahead and ran quickly.
“Now you and I will have nothing to do.”
“Well, then what are you going to do with the child… Ho, are you going to raise it alone…? Then the child…”
“You cheated on me knowing it was bad for the kid? Why?”
Seo Hye-jeong, who became emotional as she spoke, gritted her teeth and asked.
“What is it, because she’s younger? Because she’s prettier? Or did she do better? What!”
“That…”
Even if there is a reason, how can I say. Her husband was like a mute from honey.
A moment of awkward silence followed.
Barely holding back her tears, Seo Hye-jung stormed out of her house.
She thought she had sorted out all her emotions, but when she faced the man she even loved, her tears seemed to burst.
“Bad boy.”
Standing alone in the elevator, she wiped away the tears again.
She packed her things and headed back to the house where Oh Ha-jun was.
When she arrived in front of the house, she saw Ha-jun Oh smoking a cigarette in the parking lot.
“…”
She used to hate people who smoked. Of course, that was still the case today.
But I thought it would be okay if it was Oh Ha-joon.
A small smile formed on Seo Hye-jung’s lips as she saw Seo Hye-jeong getting out of her car while smoking her cigarette and seeing him hurriedly extinguish the cigarette.
“You can smoke all of them.”
“No, no, it’s okay. Jim…?”
He ran this way and carried the burden instead.
“…”
My eyes went to the thick eyebrows and jawline visible under the moonlight. In the past, I had a feeling of being generous, but lately I haven’t had that feeling at all.
She had known him for a long time, but she hadn’t tried to see his charm.
“Thank you.”
“Ah~, thank you.”
Oh Ha-joon leads the way home carrying his own luggage. Looking at his back, I felt that it was very wide.
He is trustworthy and even though I can look stupid when I’m with him, I get the impression that he’s very innocent.
‘… Good job, good education… , You don’t need it all…’
She also knew about Oh Ha-jun’s academic background. A person who graduated from a junior college and works on repairing facilities at a rural school like this, literally earning a meager salary.
In her younger days, she sometimes found it pitiful.
Looking at Oh Ha-joon’s broad back, I felt like I knew what it felt like to be asked to meet someone who was genuine rather than her looks or background that her grown-ups did.
Click.
Even her little happiness made her face reality when she opened the door.
“Brother~.”
When I opened the door, Ko Min-jeong, who had been cleaning with an apron on, ran over and carried my luggage instead.
“Eek~, it’s heavy~.”
“Puha, it’s okay, I’ll carry it.”
When Oh Ha-joon looked at Ko Min-jung, the eyes and expressions he showed were very different from those shown to him.
His heart was thumping for some reason.
“Sir Seo, you can sleep here. I’ll bring you a blanket and everything.”
“Thank you…”
He went into the room, unpacked, and changed into comfortable clothes.
As he sat there wearing shorts over his sleeves, he heard a knock on the door.
Smart.
“Yes.”
Hearing Seo Hye-jung’s answer, Ko Min-jung stuck her head out.
“Ah, Teacher Go.”
“Hello~.”
Perhaps it was awkward to be alone in a private meeting like this, Ko Min-jung hesitantly entered the room.
The car was in her hand.
“They say this is the tea that helps you sleep well at night.”
When I smelled it, it was the smell of jujube tea.
Hyejeong Seo smiled at her and made her sit across from her.
“Thank you.”
“Hi-Hi…”
The two of us were sitting together, so I couldn’t think of anything to say.
At that time, Go Min-jung carefully brought her words out.
“I heard that you and I have been working together for a long time. He helped us a lot…”
“Yes, it helped me a lot.”
“Even though my brother is stupid, he has eyes for people.”
“…”
I could see the love in her eyes as she talked about Oh Ha-joon.
“I also believe in your eyes. So you can stay with Teacher Seo until you want.”
“…Thank you.”
Although she is a younger sister, she felt more like an adult than herself.
All of her images of love were not uniform, but it seemed that her own field of vision was very narrow.
Seeing through and recognizing Oh Ha-joon’s true nature, in some ways she was wiser in living the world than herself.
“Thank you for saying that.”
