Secret Weddings

Chapter 5. Meeting My Husband's Beloved

"King of hell, what's his name?" Ask Chae Eun.

Jin Ji knitted his brows, "not the king of hell, his name was Im Seok Woo. So, don't just call people carelessly!" Tukas Jin Ji's.

"Just whatever. What is clear is that person why so long? Just buying a beer all this time, it's strange that he can be the manager of an up-and-coming actor" Chae Eun said.

"Geez, your mouth hurts so much huh," Jin Ji scolded. However, Chae Eun ignored him.

On the other side.

His low alcohol tolerance makes Seok Woo now lying on the road, imagining that the cold paved road is his bed.

"I can finally get some rest" raced Seok Woo, and he began to fall asleep without remembering that there were two people waiting for him to bring a beer.

(Back to Jin Ji, and Chae Eun.)

"Tumben once you've been here" said Jin Ji.

Chae Eun sneered, "tumben? Does that mean you're here a lot, huh?"

Jin Ji fell silent, only to realize that he had just admitted that he often came to this house. Fuck me, why am I so stupid? Jin Ji cursed himself in his heart.

That magnificent house may have once belonged to the Jin Ji family. However, after the Bank auctioned it off, the mansion had already officially become Chae Eun's property.

"B-don't I.., I mean.., I just...,"

"That's it," interrupted Chae Eun. "I'm really tired, to the point that I feel like my head will explode if I have to listen to your excuses."

Jin Ji lowered his head, "sorry huh. I've been presumptuous to enter here without your permission. I just..., just miss the atmosphere of this house, and also.., thank you for not remodeling the interior of this house, so that I can reminisce with my happy memories with my parents."

Chae Eun grumbled, "cheer, instead of me not wanting to remodel it, it's just that I don't have the money to do it," Chae Eun muttered. Since the pandemic began, Chae Eun lost a lot of her income, she even had to sell her luxury home to be able to pay for the production costs of health supplies such as PPE costumes, masks, hand sanitizers, and others. Actually he could have asked for money father, or his family, considering they are all successful. However, Chae Eun was unwilling to do so. He did not want to be called a failure by his family. "Hahh, my mansion," muttered Chae Eun. But that's okay, I heard the profit from selling health supplies is huge, so, I can definitely buy back a more luxurious house. The petty thoughts that revolved around Chae Eun's head.

"I'm really grateful to you, Miss Chae Eun.., I.., have not been able to move on from this house," said Jin Ji weakly. "You know Miss Chae Eun? I became an actor to be able to take back this house. I thought it would be easy for me to earn a lot of money by being an actor, at least that's what I saw when I saw the celebrities on television. But it turns out it's not like that. I.., never succeeded. I..," Jin Ji fell silent.

Chae Eun turned her head, and found Jin Ji was apparently too drunk, until he had collapsed earlier.

"Gosh, he just had a few cans of beer but, already drunk? Ckckck, his alcohol tolerance level is really concerning," sneered Chae Eun who has a high alcohol content.

Chae Eun gets out of her place, she goes to the room to pick up a blanket, then puts it on Jin Ji.

"Sleep well.., my husband," whispered Chae Eun, before she left the house she won at the auction.

Jessi was wide-eyed at the sight of 73 missed calls from Chae Eun.

"Great!!"

"What's wrong?" Hyunwoo was surprised after seeing Jessica surprised.

"Chae Eun called me 73 times."

Hyunwoo let out a long sigh, "what's wrong. You just surprised me," Hyunwoo complained.

"For what? Didn't you say he went to his extended family residence?" Hyunwoo reminded. "After all I know very well about his family, they are all very kind and affectionate towards the mouth of the chili, so why do you have to worry about him every time he gathers with his family, eoh? Never mind, this is your schedule with me. I've let you go to him five days a week, so he can't bother you two days a week!" Tukas Hyunwoo's. Although Hyunwoo was a president whose work was very much done. However, in Hyunwoo's eyes, Jessica was busier than he was. He can only contact his girlfriend on weekends.

'true. Chae's family is indeed very good, I also think how strange Chae Eun is because for no reason she feels depressed being in her family. But, in the end, I could understand her feelings, and it felt natural that she felt depressed'. Think Jessica.

"But...,"

"Ssttt, don't talk anymore, or I'll kiss you" Hyunwoo said, and it made Jessica look at him intensely, as if trying to tease her lover.

"You sure you want to kiss me?"

Hyunwoo's face in an instant seemed to be given a blush-on effect. He's actually just kidding. After all, Hyunwoo was a typical shy person near Jessica.

"I-I., I.., just kidding," said Hyunwoo softly.

"It's a pity that if you don't joke, I'll actually kiss you" Jessica teased. She was very happy whenever she teased Hyunwoo in such a way, and it was really entertaining.

"really? You're really gonna kiss me?" Hyunwoo asked with a face like a child expecting candy.

"Come here." Jessica tugged at Hyunwoo's nape, about to stick her lips together when the sound of the door opening shocked her.

"YESY!!! WHY DID YOU JUST COME IN?!" Omelette Jessica. While Chae Eun —the person who originally opened the door— looked at Jessica and Hyunwoo alternately without feeling guilty had disrupted the intensity of the two couples.

"Hey, Chun Bong, I called you so many times, why not get picked up?" Ask Chae Eun.

Jessica snorted in annoyance, "my name is Jessica!" The drill.

"Just give it up" Chae Eun said, sitting between Jessica and Hyunwoo.

"Hey, you can sit somewhere else!" Tegur Hyunwoo's.

"Chun Bong, why don't you pick up my phone? You know that I need you every time I visit my family," Chae Eun complained to Jessica, as if she didn't care about Hyunwoo.

Jessica wanted to protest when Chae Eun called her by her old name. However, seeing Chae Eun's sad face, Jessica preferred to tolerate it.

"Hey, why do you always need my girlfriend after every gathering with your family, huh?!" Tegur Hyunwoo's.

Jessica let out a long sigh, "hahh, has anything happened there?" Ask Chae Eun, as if she also doesn't care about Hyunwoo's whereabouts.

"none. They always seem happy and love each other. I...., am I crazy, Chun Bong? My family is that harmonious but, why do I feel depressed?" Chae Eun asked weakly.

Jessica patted Chae Eun's shoulder gently. Chae's extended family has always been harmonious. However, that harmony requires the sacrifice of Chae Eun. Chae Eun is the youngest child of the family, as the youngest child she should be the most spoiled. However, the reality is that her parents are more inclined to pamper Chae Eun's three older siblings. They were more obedient to the wishes of the three oldest children. Not without reason, all Chae Eun's sisters are not greedy people who want their parents' property, they already have their own life goals, so their father and mother only need to support their goals. Chae Eun's first sister, Chae Jung —women (37) years— has always been interested in the world of fashion, so she learned about design until she left the country, and now his name has entered the ranks of famous designers. Chae Eun's second sister, Chae Hyun —man (32) yrs— who is very happy to learn, finally managed to become a lecturer of UNS (Seoul State University) which he highly coveted. While Chae Eun's third sister, Chae Sun —women (29) year— only dreamed as a housewife who takes care of homework, and her dream is now realized, and her dream is now realized, although her businessman husband was a bit unattentive, Chae Sun was still happy, even soon she would have children. However, in contrast to his older brothers, being too smart and able to do everything he does with his perfect, Chae Eun's parents, and also all her older brothers began to dictate Chae Eun's life. At first Chae Eun thought it was not a problem, considering that she herself did not know the purpose of her life. However, their habit of dictating Chae Eun's life makes them never listen to Chae Eun's opinion, and always assume Chae Eun's words are nonsense, or nonsense. Until finally, when Chae Eun was a teenager she began to realize that she had completely lost herself, all she did was at the direction of her parents, and also her brothers. Chae Eun never once won while trying to maintain her will, her family was great at always being able to dismiss Chae Eun's argument. Maybe that is also what makes Chae Eun always sarcasm towards the people around her.

"Yes, I think you're crazy. If you're not crazy, there's no way you're frustrated with your perfect family like that" Hyunwoon said. But again, he was ignored.

"Not so, how could you be crazy. If you're crazy, I can't be friends with you. Let's just get some sleep, come on." Jessica leads Chae Eun into the room, then closes the door, leaving Hyunwoon looking at her in disbelief.

"I..., ignored huh?"

"It sucks!" His grunt.
