Unless it was a crime as horrific as murder, the Bar Association rarely suspended a lawyer’s license for personal misconduct before the judgment was pronounced. However, to hold the Disciplinary Committee so quickly meant that someone powerful wanted his own disciplinary action.
Soon, it meant that Kim Tae-jun had recklessly intervened.
‘Has the button finally been pressed?’
Really, could it be that Kim Tae-jun and Han So-eun were finally parting ways as he had longed for?
With an excited heart, Hee-wook called the central headquarters of K-Electronic Services.
[We love you. Dear customer. This is K-Electronic Services.]As the automated response system continued, a counselor answered the phone.
“Yes. Thank you for your hard work. I received advice on mobile management from a journalist some time ago, but I can’t remember what the journalist told me. Can you connect me to the mobile specialist Han So-eun?”
[Han So-eun has resigned. Can I connect you to someone else?]The color drained from Hee-wook’s face as he confirmed the truth.
“Really? Is that so! She resigned quite recently, didn’t she? Oh, what a pity. Well then, thank you for your hard work!”
Finally, had Han So-eun and Kim Tae-jun separated? Hee-wook borrowed a secretary’s phone and tried calling So-eun.
A machine sound returned, indicating that the number didn’t exist. Han So-eun had truly disappeared.
Hee-wook’s heart fluttered. He was curious about how Kim Tae-jun’s face had changed after Han So-eun left.
The next day, Tae-jun came to see Jae-pil again. Everything was as Seok-hwa had described.
Tae-jun, looking more disheveled than the previous day, entered the chairman’s office and, instead of sitting on the prepared sofa, quietly knelt down next to it.
Jae-pil could sense the meaning behind Seok-hwa’s words that the next day would be even more shocking. Jae-pil himself felt like his heart was collapsing.
“Inseok, get up.”
Despite the urgent order, Inseok didn’t rise, so Jae-pil also crouched down in front of Tae-jun.
“Ouch, my knee!”
An eighty-year-old and a thirty-year-old couldn’t be the same. As Jae-pil tried to bend sideways with difficulty, Tae-jun held him to prevent him from falling.
“Inseok, sit! Sit!”
He told him to sit without putting on a show. With another scolding, Tae-jun finally made Jae-pil sit first and then found his own seat.
Grandfather’s long sigh repeated several times.
“Is that girl so great? To the point where she’s not in your aunt’s or grandfather’s consideration?”
Finally, Tae-jun couldn’t answer the resentful question from his grandfather.
The feeling toward his aunt and grandfather, not being in their hearts, remained true. Kneeling today was just to understand Han So-eun’s situation.
Jae-pil reproached him with a painful expression.
“Isn’t she the woman who loved another man so fervently?”
“I love her just as fervently.”
Tae-jun also confronted him without flinching.
He knew well what Jae-pil was pointing out. A woman who loved her ex-boyfriend so recklessly that she would give a part of herself to his mother. Could he handle that? That was the implication.
But that was a story about a So-eun that he didn’t really know.
“Grandfather, it was a special situation.”
So Tae-jun’s answer was easier than ever.
“That friend is like that. A friend who can’t pass by a sick person and shares the pain. If I were sick, she probably would have done the same to me.”
“But still, even so!”
Even so, even if his grandson showed weakness, even if he embraced the woman recklessly in love, the grandfather’s heart crumbled. That foolish woman and his grandson, who had fallen so recklessly in love, were pitiful and regrettable.
“What could I do.”
The more his grandson showed weakness, the more he embraced the woman, the more his grandfather’s heart shed tears.
“With the daughter of the person who killed your parents, what could I do.”
“Grandfather, it’s okay, I…”
Facing such a grandfather, Tae-jun’s voice became more composed.
“I’m okay.”
“…”
“Now I’m really okay.”
Overcoming all past pains, sorrows, and hardships, Tae-jun’s eyes gleamed triumphantly. Rejecting his grandson, who shone with a newfound light, Jae-pil covered his face with both hands. Slowly wiping his face, Jae-pil confessed.
“I haven’t overcome anything yet.”
“…”
“I haven’t overcome anything yet. Tae-jun.”
The trembling voice was close to a sob. The wrinkled skin seemed to bear tear stains from many years.
“My son, my daughter-in-law, those lovely children are still alive as if it were just yesterday, and yet, like yesterday, they leave me.”
The pain of losing a child remains in that place just as it is for 20 years, and he will live forever in that abyss. Every day, as if parting with his son.
For Tae-jun, facing his grandfather’s distorted face was also painful. However, to Tae-jun, who had overcome and transcended all of this, his grandfather’s sadness sometimes sounded like weak exaggeration.
“Then, you have to overcome it.”
“Why should I overcome it!”
“Because if she’s not there, I might die.”
Jae-pil, who finally opened his eyes, chased after Tae-jun and swung a punch at his broad back.
“You brat! You brat!”
Thud. Thud.
The frail old man’s swinging hands couldn’t really hurt much. Tae-jun also raised his voice.
“Ouch! Chairman, please control him!”
“There’s no such thing as not saying that in front of your grandfather!”
When Tae-jun said he had come to see Jae-pil again, Seok-hwa rushed over as soon as the meeting ended, but he was one step too late.
“Tae-jun already came and left?”
“He went crazy and left.”
In a voice drained of strength, Jae-pil answered. The sight of his father lying on the sofa was the first time he had seen it in his lifetime.
“I sent him to New York, but he didn’t show up at the airport, so he went crazy like yesterday.”
“…Still, you let him go a lot. At least you let it out.”
“What can I do? He says he’ll die.”
“…”
“How can I deal with that foolish and fragile thing…”
At the blurred end of his father’s eyes, Seok-hwa also felt a pang in his chest. The chairman, who commanded the world with majestic charisma, was, in fact, a frail old man who groaned at every word of his grandson.
“His emotional hole was so big that he couldn’t hold anything. But someone appeared to fill that hole, Father.”
Seok-hwa, who approached Jae-pil closely, smiled sadly.
“Now we have to let go of that child, Father.”
“If you’re giving up, help me find a way to locate her.”
“I said I would support you in everything, but how can I find a disappeared kid? I know less about that kid than Tae-jun. Still…”
“Even so…”
“To overcome such a fateful connection, we need to endure this level of trial, right? That child and Tae-jun. It’s because overcoming the world’s various gazes with just mutual affection is difficult.”
Jae-pil’s heart had been fluctuating without taking root in one place until now. Just the fact that it was fluctuating was already a significant change.
“…If it doesn’t work out after looking for her hard, then we’ll give up. I hope it turns out that way.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
