Chapters Chapter 280: Han Ye-Sun (2) (1/2)
On the rooftop of Ongok Elementary School’s Building B, three women were watching the 5th floor of Building A.
“T-that woman!”
Lee Chae-Rin exclaimed in surprise. It was when Han Ye-Sun had jumped into Kang Chul-In’s arms.
“...”
Skadi was silent. Silence was her only answer since her relationship with Kang Chul-In hadn’t gone that far.
“Hm? So Husband was a womanizer I see! I always knew that.”
Unlike Lee Chae-Rin, Ninetails acted like she was amused.
“U-unnie…”
Lee Chae-Rin spoke up in a concerned voice.
“Hm?”
“Who do you think that fox… n-no, that sly woman is?”
“I don’t know?”
Ninetails shrugged her shoulders.
“I wouldn’t know.”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“No.”
“...”
“Not even a little bit.”
Was she confident? Ninetails didn’t seem to care about Kang Chul-In’s apparent affair.
“He’s…”
“What?”
“Mm... so Husband is…”
“...?”
“He’s impossible to have to yourself, anyway.”
“Ah!”
Lee Chae-Rin realized what kind of man Kang Chul-In was again. Yes, even if Kang Chul-In had another woman, there was no need to make a big deal out of it. It was impossible to stop him, and only she would be hurt if she cared about it.
However...
“Well, we still have to watch her, yeah?”
“Watch… her?”
“She might be another one of us so we have to know what kind of woman she is.”
“...!”
“Like a kind of a test.”
Ninetails smiled.
“So let’s quietly watch, sisters.”
“Yes, unnie.”
“Okay.”
Lee Chae-Rin and Skadi nodded their heads.
***
Meanwhile, Kang Chul-In, not knowing he was being watched, was shocked by Han Ye-Sun’s sudden attack. It was unlike himself.
“...!”
Kang Chul-In was surprised. Han Ye-Sun was quick. Too quick. She was in his arms before he realized it.
“Bad... bastard…”
Han Ye-Sun sobbed in Kang Chul-In’s arms.
“I… I! Heuk…!”
“...”
“I love you so much… I missed you and wanted to be with you…”
“...”
“How could you not meet me even once? You didn’t answer a single call! Heuk!”
She was so upset that she started to spew her words out.
Kang Chul-In’s shirt was soaked with her tears, so he could feel how much she had missed him.
“I… never forgot about you…”
“...”
“I still… think about you... everyday…”
“...”
“And don’t be mistaken...”
“About what?”
“It’s not because you’re successful…”
“Yep.”
Kang Chul-In almost burst out laughing, but he was able to hold it in with his supernatural endurance.
Everyone knows that.
He knew better than anyone that Han Ye-Sun wasn’t a gold-digger. When Kang Chul-In was poor, she was a dedicated woman who had looked after him without any complaints. Han Ye-Sun was also the first person to take him to an expensive family restaurant in his entire life. She was also the reason why Kang Chul-In wore the expensive “Jazzmaster” watch from the Hamilton Company, which he accepted because she kept crying about it. When he was serving in the military, she had even sent him letters and goods, even signing up to meet him… although he rejected everything.
There was even a time when she sent some money to Park Sun-Ja secretly.
I know… I know too well.
A passing dog would laugh if they heard that Han Ye-Sun was approaching Kang Chul-In because she wanted to enjoy a lavish lifestyle by marrying him.
Han Ye-Sun. Her affection was 100% genuine, and it was dedicated.
“It’s a relief that it’s not.”
However, Kang Chul-In didn’t express a tiny bit of what he was thinking.
“I-It’s a relief... that it’s not?”
“It’s a harsh world.”
“...”
“Of course you have to have your guard up when a strange woman approaches you.”
“O-Oppa!”
Instead, he pretended like he was suspecting Han Ye-Sun.
“How… how could you…”
“Are you something to me?”
“...!”
“We’re not in any relationship.”
A counterattack. Kang Chul-In’s cold and dry words were like a sword in Han Ye-Sun’s heart.
“Oppa…”
“You and I were finished 12 years ago.”
“...”
“What do we have between us now that everything’s over?”
“Do you have to say it like that?”
“I only said the truth.”
Kang Chul-In was colder than ever.
Nothing can be done.
Han Ye-Sun’s heart? He knew how she felt. However, he had to pretend not to know because it would become complicated. It would be more polite to coldly draw the line than to have an unclear stance.
“Fine… okay…”
“Move.”
“...!”
“Don’t touch me.”
Kang Chul-In roughly moved Han Ye-Sun off of him. He wasn’t the Kang Chul-In Han Ye-Sun knew from the past. The struggling high schooler and college student who was just entering society didn’t exist anymore. Just the Supreme King of the West, Kang Chul-In.
“Bad bastard…”
“That’s not the first time I’ve heard that.”
“You’ve changed…”
“Everyone changes.”
“No…”
“...”
“That doesn’t mean they become a war fanatic.”
“A war fanatic?”
An unexpected sentence came from Han Ye-Sun’s mouth.
“I heard all about it.”
“What?”
“The World Community.”
“...!
“Foreign adventurers occasionally put news of that world on there.”
She was right. Not all adventurers focused on dungeon subjugations or monster hunting.
“Oppa…”
“...?”
“Why are you going that far?”
“That’s…”
The answer was too simple.
Ambition.
That one word was behind all of Kang Chul-In’s movement.
