Chapter 180 – 27. Bridge Building (3)
27. Bridge building (3)
What I saw over the intercom was the face of a man I had never seen before. Is it a courier? Or is it someone who has found the wrong house? Yoonjeong tilted her head and confirmed her opponent.
“Who are you.”
– This is Kang Yoon-jung’s house, right?
“Yes, that’s right. Who are you.”
– Babe!
A familiar face poking out from behind the face of an unknown man. Sometimes annoyed and hateful, but that face that comes to mind sometimes even now after we broke up. It was Myung-jin, Yoon-jung’s ex-boyfriend. Yoon-jeong was astonished at his insensitivity. He wasn’t enough to come alone, was he a thoughtless person enough to bring another man to his ex-girlfriend’s house? He couldn’t believe he’d been with that goblin man for so long.
– Honey, open the door!
“What kind of person are you…”
– Brother-in-law. I’m sorry. Because the senior was so proud of me, I said I really want to see it. Can’t you just come in and say hello?
Who else is this man? Senior? Junior? Judging from what he said, he seems to be Myeong-jin’s co-worker, or rather, his successor. Hongdukkae wouldn’t be so embarrassed at night. Yoon-jeong was not really happy about this incident, which happened while she was tired, but she thought she should know what Myung-jin talked about to her juniors and about her at work.
“Now, wait a minute. Please wait a moment.”
Yoon-Jung rushed into the bathroom. She quickly washed her face, went back to her room, did a very, very basic makeup on her face, and changed her clothes. This is actually a fight, a war. Myung-jin’s fight. Girl friend? Boast? It’s a sound that doesn’t even eat seeds. If Yoon-jung dresses up well and copes well, he will talk about it because he loves him, and if Yoon-jung shows an ugly appearance, he will probably secretly behind his back say that he dumped him.
The heart of wanting to be rejected at all is like a chimney, but it is necessary to check the truth about her. No, I just wanted to check. I wanted to find out what the hell he was talking about himself, what gossip he was talking about, what lies he was spreading, and openly giving him a side. Yoon-jeong’s thoughts were actually close to paranoia, but considering what she had suffered from Myeong-jin so far, it was only a little excessive, but not completely unfounded.
Changing into long sweatpants in her haste, she threw a cardigan over her short sleeves before going out. She wasn’t sure how to dress or how she should greet them, but she had already made Myeong-jin and his junior wait quite a while. After catching her breath, she went to her front door and turned her doorknob.
“My baby~”
As soon as her door opens, her Myung-jin first rushes towards her and raises her arms over her shoulders and hugs her. The weak smell of her alcohol and the unwanted touch made her feel bad, but Myungjin didn’t care and whispered in her ear.
“Please tune in. I’ll do everything you ask later.”
“What?”
Without listening to Yoon-jung’s answer, Myung-jin poured kisses on her ex-girlfriend’s cheek. Then she turned around and showed off to her juniors.
“My sweetheart. I am currently working as a professor at a nearby university while doing my Ph.D. Look, you bastard! Gurah no!”
“Wow~ Are you really a professor?”
Even though everything in this situation was her dislike, Yoon-Jung replied with a shy smile.
“I’m just a part-time instructor.”
Before her juniors could ask further questions, Myeong-jin brought Yoon-jung into the living room from the front door. In his hand was a package of chicken, beer, and other alcohol. Tired from work, Yoon-jeong wanted to put these things away and rest in moderation before going to sleep. However, as long as they are brought into the house, they have to greet the minimum number of guests. Moreover, Myung-jin had already started pretending to be her lover in front of her juniors, and her juniors seemed to believe it.
“Sister-in-law, can I use the bathroom?”
“Yes, it is over there.”
The moment Myungjin’s junior entered the bathroom and closed the door, Yunjeong’s cold eyes came to Myungjin and stuck. He put the chicken on the table and took out the liquor one by one as he spoke in a crawling voice.
“I’m really sorry. But that bastard keeps ignoring me, saying I look like a fool. You were the only person who came to mind, no, you were the only person who could proudly show it off.”
“Are you kidding me now? Is that what you mean by breaking into someone else’s house at this time? What did you say Except for lying about being a lover…”
“That’s it, that’s it. Nothing could be more of a problem…”
Before Myeong-jin could explain anything further, the bathroom door opened and his junior, who was wiping his hands, came out. Myung-jin’s junior, who finally caught my eye, was a handsome man with a tall, broad shoulders and a neat hairstyle that looked good on him. He stood in front of Yoon Jeong-eui and bowed with a bow.
“How are you? I am learning a lot from Myungjin hyung. It is called Oh Je-gyun.”
“Oh, hello. I am Kang Yoon-jung.”
At the smile of her ex-boyfriend’s junior, who raised her head and grinned, Yoon-jung felt her heart pounding for a moment. Aside from all other conditions such as personality, taste, and personality, a handsome man has something that attracts women. Top predatory species. In the dating market, isn’t it said that overwhelmingly handsome is stronger than a beautiful woman? Unknowingly, Yoon-jung thought that if this was the case, it would be okay to allow Myung-jin to come home a little.
“Keu~ Myungjin hyung. Really respect My girlfriend class is kya~ really~”
“Yumma. I said I’m not as popular as you, but I’m popular.”
“…”
Not wanting to see Myeong-jin being smug, Yun-jung went to the living room and opened the table. Her delicacies followed her, placed her chicken on her table, and unwrapped her, the smell of her delicacies wafted out. Afterwards, Myung-jin brought a drink, and each of them took their seats and a sudden late-night snack event began.
In order not to hurt Yoon-jung’s mood, and to keep her lie from being discovered by her juniors, Myung-jin hesitated carefully as if walking on thin ice. Yoon-jeong found it very funny. Besides, sitting next to her is her unusually handsome man, offering her a drink while flattering her. She was even mistaken that she had come to the host bar.
I heard that Je-gyun is the son of the president of the four Myung-jin companies, whose business partner or business partner is unclear. It was Yun-jeong that Myeong-jin, who felt a sense of qualification for this man who lacked nothing in terms of looks, put forward. It was like a praying mantis boasting in front of a lion that he caught a locust, but even so, the fact that his ex-boyfriend’s only boast was himself and that it was recognized by this handsome man made Yoon-jung happy.
The feeling that hit the floor at Myung-jin’s unexpected visit at first was noticeably improved by the time her chicken was more than half gone. Unbeknownst to her, she had been so drunk that she had allowed the two of them to sleep over at her house. Attention, interest, interest towards oneself. It didn’t matter if it was sincere or sugarcoated. Didn’t the man whom I had coldly abandoned suffocate at him, testify that he showed no lingering feelings and that the only thing he had to present to the world was the fact that he had dated him? Moreover, this handsome young man guaranteed that it would work as something to boast about. Even though she thought of Myeong-jin as a stupid man, it was the same with Yoon-jeong herself who was flattered for such trivial reasons.
She was said to be intoxicated by the atmosphere, but Yoon-jung suddenly felt better, and she drank a fair amount of alcohol and was in a hazy mood. It is known that he maintains a cool friendship even after a breakup – the reality is different for each person – but he didn’t try to maintain a cool relationship with Myungjin like Westerners do, but I thought it would be okay to visit him often.
“Oh, I drank too much. There’s a lot of pee coming out…”
Myung-jin, who had already had some alcohol before coming to Yoon-jung’s house, was constantly going in and out of her bathroom. When he got up from his seat again and went into the bathroom, silence passed between Yoon-jung and Je-gyun, who were still awkward together. The sound of someone talking comes out of the TV, and it goes around the living room in vain and disappears. Myeong-jin, who would normally come out right after urinating, takes quite a long time in the bathroom. The awkwardness increased as much as the time he was gone, and before I knew it, Yoon Jeong-eun was waiting for the return of her ex-boyfriend, whom she did not want to see.
“Brother? No, who? Mr. Yoon Jeong? What should I call you?”
Jekyun asked with his face facing the TV. Yoon-jung pondered for a while before answering.
“Just call me by name. What is your brother-in-law?”
Jekyun sensed something strange in her nostrils and asked again.
“Mr. Yoon Jeong. Is it true that Myung-jin is dating her brother?’
“…Why?”
“No, this. I’m not dating Is Myungjin really an asshole? I’m going to hit this again and catch it.”
The sudden change in attitude made Yoon-jung feel slightly worse. He is different from the front, and there are things that other people don’t like, but ignoring Myeong-jin here means that the praise he gave to himself was a lie, and furthermore, he is ignoring himself.
“I will believe you if you kiss me once.”
“Yes?”
Je-gyun lifted his hips and sat right next to Yoon-jeong. It was such a sudden statement that Yoon-jeong only looked at him with blurry eyes. Then he came closer and spoke quietly to her.
“If Myung-jin gives me a kiss before hyung comes out, he believes me. Why can’t I?”
I don’t quite understand something. He lies that he is still dating Myungjin and has to make this guy believe it, so why should he kiss him? No, why did he have to believe that he was dating Myung-jin in the first place? I can’t suddenly recall if there was a reason or why these two were stuck in their house in the first place.
“From now on, let’s start.”
