Secret Weddings

Niah's Suspicion

Haejun looks satisfied when Chae Eun enters the hotel room he booked.

"Waahh I don't think you're coming, Director Chae."

Chae Eun did not respond to Haejun's words. He just kept walking towards the man, and sat down on the sofa that was beside the man.

"So, what do you know about Jin Ji's past?" Chae Eun to the point.

"Don't do that, we better have a drink first."

Chae Eun grinned. "No need to try to tease me. You will never be worthy of being just my toy. So, just tell me what you know, and I'll consider what I have to do for you!" Tukas Chae Eun with her chit.

"Stop being sarcastic with me. You might be sorry for preferring a broken toy like Jin Ji over me."

"You're so sure. I think you know something very important."

Haejun smiled sumringah. "of course. You definitely would not have expected that Jin Ji who always put on a plain face turned out to be just a cheap man!"

Chae Eun flinched, she listened to Haejun carefully.

Haejun poured the wine into the glass, and gave it to Chae Eun. Saying, "he's the sponsor's toy, you know? Yanghyang Production, JM Studio, Kyungra Group, and Meora Electronic. All the company leaders have tasted the ***** Jin Ji. The homosexuals were very fond of Jin Ji. Absolutely disgusting."

Chae Eun remained unmoved. Ji Hyujin's. You.., you...,

Jin Ji confirmed his suit when he wanted to enter the magnificent house in front of him. Yep. Today he had an appointment with his father-in-law to come home.

"Mr Ji, you've come." A well-dressed old man welcomed Jin Ji's arrival.

"Sir Jong?"

The old man named Jong Man smiled. "It's been a long time since I've seen each other, but Mr. Ji hasn't forgotten me, I'm so happy."

"How can I forget, Mr. Jong was my witness when I married Chae Eun."

"Then, please come in, the great master is already waiting." Jong Man is.

Jin Ji followed Jong Man's steps, until Jong Man stopped in the spacious living room. There, sat a middle-aged man in dapper clothes. The man turned to Jin Ji, and gave a small smile.

"You've come. Sit down," said the middle-aged man, Chae Eun's father. He turned to Jong Man, "sir Jong, thanks for driving Jin Ji. You can continue your work."

"Good." Jong Man left his two masters. Jin Ji stepped over to his father-in-law and sat in front of him.

"It's been a long time, Hyujin-ah. Or should I call Jin Ji?" Guru his father-in-law.

"Dad can call me with a call as comfortable as possible."

The father-in-law smiled, "drink. This is plum tea made by our chef."

"Yes, dad."

They spent a few minutes in silence, and only heard the tea they were drinking.

"Dad, dad said there's something you want to say, what's the matter?" Jin Ji asked, unable to bear the silent atmosphere created.

"Ah that." His father-in-law took a long breath. He was actually hesitant to convey what he had in mind to Jin Ji, considering that Jin Ji was the son of his best friend. However, he also could not ignore Chae Eun's happiness.

"Yes, dad?"

Chae Eun's father put down his teacup, and looked at Jin Ji seriously. "You know that I consider your father my brother?"

Jin Ji smiled, "of course. I even remember very well how dad helped my dad in times of trouble."

"That's right. Our relationship is so close that we involve our children. You and Chae Eun" said Chae Eun's father. "We shouldn't force the closeness of our relationship on you."

"What do you mean, dad?"

"Jin-ah, please divorce Chae Eun."

Deggg

Jin Ji felt like there was a huge rock hitting him. "Dad, what's the max?"

"I married you because I owe your father a lot of debt. The case that befell your father and your complicated life, made it hard for me to give Chae Eun to you at that time. That's why, I went to your father, and asked him to forget about your match and Chae Eun. After all, Chae Eun has a bright future, and your father realized that, he finally let me cancel the wedding but, it seems too late. Chae Eun, she fell in love with you first."

Jin Ji flinched. Whatdoes thatmean? Does this marriage continue because of Chae Eun?

"I told her that your match was annulled. However, he does not care, and still wants your marriage to continue. This is the first time he has challenged our opinion. You know what, Jin-ah? You're a nice guy, but, your complicated life, your status, and your job. Everything related to you might bring trouble to Chae Eun's future. I asked someone to keep an eye on you, and found out that you were involved in so many scandals. I could probably ignore it all but, paid dating? Being the mistress of entertainment industry company officials who are bisexual? I can't ignore it. Chae Eun's life is surrounded by people who are ready to take her down at any moment, and you, you are the only gap that Chae Eun has to break. So, please, divorce Chae Eun. Me, and his brothers have asked him many times. However, he always ignores us, hence, Jin-ah. Please. If you ask for a divorce, she will, because she." Chae Eun's father explained at length, and it made Jin Ji dumbfounded.

Not because of his family? Chae Eun..., she...., did this marriage because it wasn't because of her family? Wh why? I thought he...,

"Jin-ah, Chae Eun is not a stupid woman. Even though I didn't tell her, Chae Eun already found out about you. He, he already knows all about you. Even the drama project that made your name big, it was all due to Chae Eun's interference. As well as the bad news about you being instantly missing from the search list, it was all Chae Eun's interference."

Deggg

Jin Ji felt really like he was being banged. She..., all this time know?

"Jin Ji it's really rubbish. A useless creature, and a coward. Know it? Even the director easily made him a pet dog because of his disgusting past. His father was a famous businessman but, he raped a girl he had adopted from an orphanage, and when the girl was pregnant, he asked the girl to have an abortion. After that he went back to raping the girl, and fearing that if the girl became pregnant again, he forcefully took the girl's womb so that he could enjoy it without worrying if she would leave the seed." Haejun laughed as he downed the wine. "Oughhh I goosebumps every time I tell that story. But the fucker, somehow the news about his past is never exposed by the media. Goddamnit! This is going to be a fun story."

"You're trying to expose this to the media?" Chae Eun asked in an intimidating tone.

Haejun looked at Chae Eun astonished, "why are you even asking that? Don't you want to ask me what else is so disgusting about Jin Ji's past?"

Chae Eun grinned. "It's stupid. Who do you think made that story impossible?"

Haejun. "You.., y-you...,"

"At first I thought of giving you a little chance to survive in the entertainment industry but, it seems like you are not worthy of it" Chae Eun said. He got out of his place, was about to leave the moment before he said, "ah yes, because you like the media so much, he said, so I called all the media companies and told them that the illegal video fugitive is here."

"What?! The fugitive?!"

"You don't read the news? You've just been named a suspect in that case." Chae Eun sneers, then she leaves Haejun who is now like a debt collector.

"Where are you from, Mr Ji?" Jessica asked when she saw Jin Ji enter her house.

"Oh that, me.., out of the shooting location." Jin Ji displayed a fake smile.

"Shooting? Is that all right? Your face, even though the bruise has improved but, if in the spotlight the camera will definitely be seen clearly," said Jessica.

"No need to worry, the crew will edit it well" Jin Ji said. "Oh yes, miss Chun. I brought this for you on my way home. I don't know if you like it, but I don't want to go home empty-handed either."

Jessica was moved, "jeez, you don't have to bother, Mr. Ji. Besides, you're my guest, and also her husband Chae Eun, so you don't have to feel sorry for me."

Husband? I used to feel so empty to hear that status but, after knowing that I got that status because of Chae Eun's sincere feelings, I felt so happy but, still I. Jin Ji looked sad, and it caught Jessica's attention.

"Mr Ji, are you okay? You look moody."

"Ah is nothing, just still carried away the atmosphere of the characters I play." Again Jin Ji showed a fake smile. "Oh yeah, is Miss Chae home yet?"

"Yet. He said he still had something to do." Jessica took a long breath. "This pandemic made Chae Eun twice as busy as the company had to push its pace to produce health equipment. We are laymen about that, so Chae Eun has to keep an eye on the employees so that there are no mistakes."

"Is that so? He's really busy" muttered Jin Ji.

"Jessi, look at what I—" Hyunwoo who had just entered Jessica's house, immediately shook his head when he saw Jin Ji's figure.

"You're still here?" Tanya Hyunwoo was curious. Both of his eyes then poked. "Mr Ji, is it possible that you're here to seduce my Jessic?"

Jin Ji was stunned. "Did?!"

"You!!!" Hyunwoo looked at Jessica. "Why is it so hard to have you for myself. First I have to fight over you with Chae Eun, then now comes a new rival, and is an actor!! It sucks!" Hyunwoo was angry, he left jessica's house with a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Jessica and Jin Ji are staring at each other without understanding.

"N-nona Chun, she.., seems to have misunderstood."

"Yeah. Then I'll chase him first. Mr. Ji, if you want to eat, you just heat the side dish in the refrigerator." Jessica immediately moved from her place, she chased after Hyunwoo.

Jin Ji let out a long breath. She really felt awkward and uneasy to continue being at Jessica's house.

"I'd better go home tomorrow." He muttered, and soon the door to Jessica's house opened again.

"Eoh, Miss Chun, have you done it." Jin Ji flinched when she found out that Chae Eun was the one who appeared from behind the door.

"What?" Ask Chae Eun. "I'm not Chun Bong."

"E-eh you, you're home."

Chae Eun let out a long breath. His body was slightly hollow and his cheeks were red. He intoxicated. "I'm so tired." Chae Eun complained. She was about to go into the room when she previously asked Jin Ji, "hey, have you had dinner yet?"

"I'm not hungry." Jin Ji replied.

"OKs. Then I'll sleep." Chae Eun disappears behind the bedroom door. Jin Ji was still in his place.

I..., should I tell him? But..., never mind! From the beginning I did not deserve to be happy. Jin Ji steadied his heart. She catches up with Chae Eun, and...,

"Chae Eun, I want to tell you something, we.." Jin Ji fell silent, and pegged at the door when he saw Chae Eun...,

She...,
