“I’ll confide in you since I trust you. For some reason, I overheard Ji Hyun-jung’s phone briefly. It seems like she’s monitoring you.”
Taeseok, who was unresponsive, threw out the facts. He had faith in his belief that, despite Shin Min-cheol’s meddling attitude, he was a trustworthy brother.
Shin Min-cheol wasn’t greatly surprised. However, in his eyes, there was a color of sorrow that couldn’t be understood.
“You still don’t trust me. She does.”
Tae-seok made a face that seemed to require an explanation, but Shin Min-cheol turned his gaze out the window for a while. Then, after a long time, he spoke heavily.
“Ji Hyun-jung. She likes you. Seo Tae-seok. That’s why we got divorced.”
Seeing Tae-seok’s helpless expression, Shin Min-cheol continued speaking.
“It’s not your fault.”
“I can’t say I’m sorry. But sorry. Hyung.”
Shin Min-cheol smirked. The guy who said he learned as much as he could was now making such contradictory statements.
“She’s that kind of person. She doesn’t hesitate to use any means for her goals. Hyun-jung needed to get rid of me first to approach you. She might have thought I didn’t know, but I’ve been watching her since college, so I could tell just by looking at her eyes. That she likes you.”
“…….”
“I’m cool about it. Love cooled down, what can you do? I’ve stamped it. I’ve even left the company. But I was a bit annoyed by the rumor that I cheated. Moreover, that girl skillfully closed her mouth as if the rumor she spread wasn’t about her.”
“…….”
“I decided to just watch even that wickedness. In my opinion, Seo Tae-seok wouldn’t see Ji Hyun-jung as a woman even after a hundred years, but I’m curious to see how far that girl alone will go. After knowing about this, I’m also looking forward to how Seo Tae-seok will handle it.”
“…….”
“But why did you wiretap? Let’s hear that first.”
Tae-seok hesitated for a moment. But he had already told Shin Min-cheol many things. What more could he not add here?
He casually explained about meeting a woman two years ago, breaking up, and recently meeting her again. He didn’t mention being a drama writer.
“So, she wants to repay more than what happened to her.”
“You really love that woman. Seo Tae-seok. If that’s the case, Ji Hyun-jung would be furious. Hasn’t that girl done anything worse?”
Shin Min-cheol sneered.
“Tae-seok-ah, you should have known about Ji Hyun-jung sooner. You were too self-centered. You lived without much thought because Ji Hyun-jung arranged everything for you.”
As if determined, Shin Min-cheol continued speaking.
“If you were in a relationship for a long time, Ji Hyun-jung always intervened and broke up all the women for you. Don’t you know? The actress Jeong In-a, whom you met for the first time after your debut. She got slapped too. She’s in our agency now. She finally confessed. It was terrible back then.”
“!”
“Hey. So, how much did you hate that woman who risked her life and rushed in saying she loves you? In the end, it’s all your fault. Hey. You should have looked around sooner.”
Shin Min-cheol criticized him.
Tae-seok thought about Jeong In-a, whom he met almost ten years ago.
How did they end up dating? They met a few times, and when the woman drew the line from her side, it ended reasonably. In fact, he barely remembered it now. But thinking that it was also Ji Hyun-jung’s coercion, he felt sorry for her now.
I really, only knew myself.
With a troubled expression, Tae-seok asked Shin Min-cheol.
“You know what kind of person Ji Representative is, but why get along well? And why didn’t you say a word to me? Hyung. If I had known earlier, something might have changed…”
Tae-seok’s voice carried a hint of resentment.
“Why should I tell you when you didn’t ask? Strictly speaking, it’s your business. And Seo Tae-seok. When I was being falsely accused and kicked out of HJ Planning, you weren’t on my side either. I was just prepared to answer if you asked.”
Tae-seok had nothing to say.
“I’ve decided to live as an onlooker. I’m just watching Hyun-jung’s path. When that girl wants to set me up as a stepping stone, I’ll just go along with it. Let’s see how far she can go. So, let’s see what happens in the end.”
“What’s that? What does it have to do with anything?”
“You can’t understand all relationships in the world.”
Shin Min-cheol responded quite sagely.
“Hyung, do you still like Ji Representative?”
“…To some extent.”
Shin Min-cheol deliberately gulped down the cold coffee.
“Oh, I’ve spilled too much. Going back to the beginning, the reason she’s monitoring me is obvious. It’s for the property.”
“What property?”
“I think she expects me to file for property division now. I once joked that since Seo Tae-seok is making so much money, let’s reconsider property division. She didn’t take the joke lightly, especially when it comes to money.”
“Oh.”
Faced with a truth that seemed understandable but difficult to accept, Tae-seok was speechless.
“Seo Tae-seok. Even if she wasn’t a woman you met because you loved her, you should have had some interest in your past women. If you had, you could have noticed Ji Hyun-jung’s evil deeds earlier. I see your indifference has fueled the situation more. I…”
“…”
“I’ve said it all. I hope your plan goes well. If I have to pick a side, I’m closer to your side.”
Shin Min-cheol teased again, poking fun at Tae-seok.
Ji-hyuk had no choice but to admit it. Choi Yeoreum was taken away by Seo Tae-seok.
Strictly speaking, there was never a time when Yeoreum belonged to him, so the expression “taken away” was a misguided thought, but he chose that word to fuel his anger. Since he was already engaging in something resembling a romantic relationship in his mind, the sense of betrayal was even greater.
He thought it was a matter of who made the first move. If he had been more proactive, it could have been his feelings that he could obtain.
He was more gentlemanly and courteous, but he thought Yeoreum had a taste for a worse man than she appeared. If he had known earlier, he could have acted more recklessly.
“Drawn to a man who behaves badly, inflicts wounds, and even humiliates.”
He laughed mixed with self-pity while toying with the wine glass. The puppy wagged its tail as if it understood.

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
