Secret Weddings

Little attention Nathan

"******! You family deserve to die!! Worth dying!!!"

"HAHHH—" Jin Ji was aghast from his sleep. Sweat of corn soaked his forehead, and his heart was pounding very fast. Again, that nightmare. The roar of Jin Ji's heart. He got out of his bed, went to the kitchen to get a drink to calm himself from the shock of the dream he had just experienced.

"Wahhhh I thought you were a thief."

Jin Ji spouted out the water he drank when a voice emerged from behind his body.

Jin Ji twisted his body, and looked at the owner of the voice in annoyance, "yes! You surprised me, you know?!"

"Jinjja! I'm really not used to living in one house with a man like you" muttered Chae Eun, astonished. Chae Eun has a high sensitivity, therefore when Jin Ji exited the room, her super sharp ears immediately caught the sound of the creaking of the door and Jin Ji's footsteps.

Jin Ji frowned, "a guy like me? You mean you've lived with a guy who's not like me?!" Jin Ji asked, annoyed.

"Eoh," Chae Eun replied.

"Wahhhhh, are you crazy?! You're married, why live with another man, huh?!"

"The other man was my father and second brother, you know?" Chae Eun replied, making Jin Ji instantly speechless. "If you've had a drink, meet me in the living room, I have something to talk about."

"What—" Chae Eun had already left before Jin Ji could finish his words.

"Basic him!" Jin Ji muttered. She immediately downed her drink, and then followed Chae Eun into the living room.

"What are you talking about?" Jin Ji asked, sticking his butt on the sofa.

"Lusa is the anniversary of the wedding of my father and mother. They want you to come" Chae Eun said lightly.

"The deer? I'm.., uh...,"

"You can't, can you? Then I'll tell my mom and dad" Chae Eun interjected, then she got out of her place and went into her room. Leaving Jin Ji who was now silent was stunned.

"I want to say that I can, why does he.., huhh~ always seems to be alone, you know!" Oceh Jin Ji's. It is customary for Chae Eun to assume that Jin Ji can never participate in her family's events. It's not without reason that Chae Eun is. The first reason, because she knows how busy Jin Ji is —she knows all Jin Ji's activities because she told people to keep an eye on her husband's— the second reason is because she doesn't want if her family is talking too much in in front of Jin Ji, considering the wedding day his family threw a lot of questions to Jin Ji so they could only sleep in the morning. And the last reason, and the third one is.., Chae Eun doesn't want to cause rumors for Jin Ji, he had already seen with his own eyes that Jin Ji had beaten his director just because of a trivial scandal.

I'm sorry Jin Ji, but you better not have to deal with my family.

Shooting Man Are You

Jin Ji was sitting in his waiting room when Haejun came.

"Can I come in?" Haejun asked from the doorway.

Seok Woo doesn't look happy. However, Jin Ji still maintained the smile he used to display before Haejun, "just enter, senior. I always accept you anywhere."

"OK." Haejun entered Jin Ji's waiting room, and he immediately grabbed Jin Ji's hand and rested in front of the junior.

"Jin-ah, I'm sorry that yesterday I was seen cornered you but, you know best that I didn't mean that. I..., I just want to do my job well for this show. So, please forgive me," said Haejun, sounding more sincere than he actually felt.

Goddamnit! I had to sit down in front of this rancid boy. How asshole! I'm really curious, what is this lackey actor related to the heir of Chae-gu Group?! Haejun's heart.

Jin Ji and Seok Woo were shocked. Jin Ji immediately asked Haejun to stand up, "senior, what's wrong with you? Don't do this, wake up. I don't blame yesterday's events either, nor have I ever thought so of you. Wake up please."

Haejun obeyed Jin Ji's orders, "thank you Jin Ji-ah, I'm very anxious because the director took issue with yesterday's incident."

"Director?" Jin Ji empathizes. He can feel Haejun's sadness because he also often gets the same bad treatment. "Already, senior. I'll talk to the Director, and explain."

"really? Jin Ji is the best." Praise Haejun. "Then I leave everything to Jin Ji, ok? I'm going back to my waiting room." Haejun left Jin Ji's waiting room feeling annoyed.

"Speaking with the Director? Who does he think he is?! Before he was famous I was the one who gave that jerk Director a meal!" Haejun. He walked towards his waiting room, and there he was already greeted by his assistant.

"Sister, everything is in order" said the assistant.

"Good! Continue on." Just look, I will kill you both in one shot, Jin Ji, and my beloved director.

On the other hand

"I was really surprised" said Seok Woo.

"I am too."

"But are you sure you want to talk to the Director about this?"

Jin Ji nodded confidently, "let alone however, Senior Haejun is the one who made us and the trainees in Starscript able to eat and practice. All thanks to the money Haejun senior made for the company."

"True as well. Hahhhh~ that damn director really treats his artist like an item. He used to adore Haejun a lot but, now that you are more famous and make more money from Haejun, he immediately threw it away, and made you like a dairy cow. Goddamnit!"

"True, our Director is a fucking!" But still I have no power in front of him. He.., knows too much of the gap in me.

"Eun-ah, won't your husband come again?" Ask Chae Jung.

"He's busy, you all know that, too" Chae Eun said, tasting the seaweed soup that her mother had just served.

"But everyone here is busy, not just your husband" Chae Sun's husband chimed in. Chae Sun immediately warned her husband by touching her husband's hand. Giving a signal not to ignite a commotion in the middle of his family event.

Chae Eun smiled coldly, she was stirring up her seaweed soup. Saying, "sister-in-law, did you just come to our family event today, and already dare to offend my husband? It's funny."

"Alright, Eun-ah. Honghwa didn't mean to offend Jin Ji, so just forget it, okay?" Chae Sun said softly.

Chae Eun smiled softly, nodding as her brother said. "Yes, my dear brother, I'm just kidding, like, usually."

"That's right, Honghwa. I hope you're not offended because Eun is so happy to joke around" Chae Hyun exclaimed.

"Yes, even he used to joke about going to art school when he couldn't draw and didn't know anything about art" Chae Jung chimed in, and everyone there laughed cheerfully.

Right, that's how you can take my word, saying that it's just a joke.

"By the way, dad, mom. Congratulations to you, I can't prepare anything, so I can only give you this," Chae Eun who disliked the topic of conversation that was created immediately changed the topic by giving gifts to her father and mother. A tab.

"Wahh, Eun-ah, thank you very much, but you really don't have to bother. You just come, I'm happy" said his mother.

"True," his father chimed in.

"That doesn't bother me at all. Only reports about our stocks are soaring" Chae Eun said.

His father opened the tab screen, and sure enough, the tab contained the increased Chae-gu Group stock reports.

The father let out a long sigh, "basic boy, how can you give a present like this to us, huh?" Said the father as he ruffled Chae Eun's hair.

"Look, right? Eun likes that. It was a pleasure to joke," Chae Hyun said, and again everyone laughed.

Joking what?! Isn't my gift better than the one you've prepared?

"Dad, don't do this." Chae Eun brushed off her father's hand gently.

"Followly, now it's better to start the show," Chae Jung exclaimed, bringing a birthday cake for her father and mother, along with her husband.

Happy birthday chants echoed in the Chae family's dining room. Laughter, and cheerfulness become the decorator of the dining room. Until the time finally showed at nine o'clock in the evening, and the little children were already sleeping in their rooms. While the adults continued the event by drinking wine that had just been removed from the wine storage warehouse owned by his father.

"Let's toast to Eun-ah's hard work, it's amazing that she can increase our company's stock in the midst of a pandemic like this" the father exclaimed. And they toast together.

"I told you, didn't I? Eun-ah, it's great when it comes to managing. It wasn't in vain that father moved your major," Char Jung said.

"Yes, you don't need to praise me, because I already know that" Chae Eun said. He invited his family's laughter. However, not with Chae Sun and her husband.

Chae Eun who realized it could only glance at them once. His sensitivity made Chae Eun realize that there was something strange about her third sister and her third brother's husband.

Jin Ji stepped foot when he entered his house. Today the schedule is very busy, after shooting Man Are You, he went to Incheon to shoot ads, then to Dongmak to shoot his plays, and after that, he went to Incheon to shoot ads, must go to Bundang for a photographer for a teaser photo for his new drama.

"Crazy, I'm so tired." Jin Ji dropped his body on the sofa. His feet could no longer afford to drag him to his room.

"Waahh, I'm really not used to living with you," said Chae Eun who had just walked out of her room after hearing the sound of the door Jin Ji created upon entering the house.

"Hahhhh~ I'm not used to either. You know, you often surprise me!" Tukas Jin Ji was weak.

Chae Eun sat on the small sofa beside the long sofa that Jin Ji used. "Is it tired? If you're tired what if you just stop being a celebrity, and work at my place. I'll pay your salary very well."

The quirk was able to develop a smile on Jin Ji's face. "How much would you pay me? I don't want to be under twenty million, because I have to pay the rent" joked Jin Ji.

"Eihhh, you're elevating yourself. Your work isn't even worth five million."

Jin Ji got up from lying down —now he sat— "you don't know? I used to study at UNS Department of Management."

"Just time, it means you didn't pass."

"Yes," Jin Ji replied, making Chae Eun laugh.

"Stupid!"

"Let it go, what matters now is that I'm successful!" Both giggle. Jin Ji noticed the laughter on Chae Eun's face.

I haven't seen that laugh in a long time. Jin Ji thought, until he finally realized that something was different from his wife's face.

"Eoh, what's your face?" Jin Ji asked as he touched Chae Eun's face.

"It's nothing" Chae Eun replied as she slowly brushed aside Jin Ji's hand.

Jin Ji again touched Chae Eun's face, and noticed a bruise on Chae Eun's left cheek. "Did anyone hit you?" Jin Ji looked annoyed.

"Who would dare to hit me, huh? It's just.., I just accidentally hit a wall" Chae Eun quibbled.

"Geez, really? You should be careful. Wait here, I'll take the medicine box." Jin Ji moved out of his place, and then returned with a medicine box.

"No need, I've compressed it with an ice pack before" Chae Eun said.

"Already, hush. I used to have bruises like this, and Seok Woo's brother gave me a very potent saleb" Jin Ji said, taking out the saleb he meant. He rubbed the saleb slowly onto the bruise on Chae Eun's left cheek, "you're a woman, your face is an asset, so don't be careless like this anymore, okay?"

"Are we going to get divorced if I get ugly?"

"Ck, you're still joking around, you son of a bitch!" Omel Jin Ji's. "How, is it okay?" He asked, after finishing applying the saleb on Chae Eun's bruise.

"It feels warm."

"warm? Shouldn't it be cold? I wear it a lot, and it gives the effect of cold, not warm. Is something wrong?" Jin Ji read the text on the saleb box, trying to convince himself that he was not wrong to give the saleb. "This is true salebnya."

"I mean your hand. Your hands..., warm."

Jin Ji was speechless, he slowly looked at Chae Eun who was now looking at him sincerely.

"Hey, Ji Hyujin. Can I..., hug you?"

"Why...,"

Not yet finished Jin Ji spoke, Chae Eun had already hugged him first, making Jin Ji's Heart beat hard and even her face flushed red.

"Miss Ch-Chae Eun, y-you why is this?"

"Just one minute. Nah! Thirty seconds, let me hold you. I.., love your body warm."

Epilogue

"But...,"

"But what?! You should talk about this with your mom and dad!"

"But, it's all Chae Eun's hard work. After all, I've never been interested in dad's business."

"Sun-ah, so you mean you're just gonna keep being a parasite on your life, huh? Do nothing, and drift in my house, and eat the food I make with hard work, huh?!!!" Honghwa. During the pandemic, the company belonged to Chae Sun's husband, Honghwa. It was in crisis, and it was almost bankrupt. Therefore, the unusual Honghwa attended the Chae family event, for the first time taking part. However, her intentions were so selfless, she urged Chae Sun to demand her right to her father's company.

"But...,"

"******!!! Why do you keep saying but to me, HUH?! If you don't obey me, then you'd better throw your womb out, we won't be able to feed it!" Honghwa.

"I thought so." Chae Eun who had been standing behind the wall had finally come out of hiding. "It's weird that sister-in-law suddenly came to our family event. Turns out that's the reason. It's disgusting!"

"Eun-ah!!" Tegur Chae Sun's. However, Chae Eun doesn't care. He walked over to his sister-in-law. Stand tall and proud in front of the sister-in-law.

"******? Aborting contents? Hey, ********! If you can no longer afford my brother, then divorce. Our family is very capable of living it!" Tukas Chae Eun with an intimidating tone.

"********? You're fucking!"

#prakkkkk

Honghwa hit Chae Eun's face so hard that Chae Eun fell down.

"Opa!!!" Chae Sun screamed, and immediately approached Chae Eun. "Eun-ah, are you okay?"

"You don't have to care about him!" Honghwa pulled Chae Sun's hand violently.

"Let go, oppa!" Chae Sun rebelled. However, her strength was no stronger than that of her husband.

"Look yeah! You're just your father's cheating son! You don't deserve to inherit all these treasures! So, don't try to be greedy!" Tukas Honghwa, made Chae Eun dumbfounded, and immediately looked at Chae Sun.

"Son..., affair? I-i?" Chae Eun looked in shock. Chae Sun immediately smacked her husband in the face.

"Fuck you, oppa! Who do you dare say that to my sister?! HUH!!! You better get out of here! GO!!!" Bentak Chae Sun.

"Just whatever. But, you have to make sure that this cheating son doesn't take all your father's property!" Tukas Honghwa just before he left for Chae Sun and Chae Eun.

"You okay?" Ask Chae Sun.

"I..., the cheating child? What's that supposed?"

"Don't listen to him, Eun-ah. Honghwa is often so angry."

"She may be so to you, but this is only the second time I've met her, does she deserve to be mad that way at me if what she's talking about isn't true?"

"Chae Eun's. You...,"

"I'm going home. I'm.., tired." Chae Eun got out of her place, and left Chae Sun who was now staring at her with concern.

So this is the reason why I don't hear them all the time? My opinion? My dream? My wish? Is that why they ignore it? I.., because I.., from the beginning was not a part of them.
