The Temperature Difference with Him (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18

So Min sneered and added another remark directed at Ha Jun.

“I’ve known Ji An for sixteen years too. I understand her just as well as you do.”

“Say it clearly so I can understand.”

“I also told her she was bad luck—on the day I was going to confess, right to Ji An, who stepped in for you. …… Attorney Yoon wouldn’t just casually say ‘let’s live separately,’ and Ji An wouldn’t have done anything to deliberately get under your skin. So I figured—you made her do something pointless again. Like asking her to meet a woman and have her reject you. But you didn’t like how it turned out, right?”

When Ha Jun saw So Min pinpoint the truth so precisely, he pressed his lips tightly together and stared straight at her.

Seizing what she saw as her chance, So Min unleashed all the pent-up words she’d been holding inside like a bomb.

“Since we’re on the topic, I’ll add just a bit more. We’re the ones who’ve had our parents’ expectations piled onto us—we can’t possibly understand Ji An. We never say things like, ‘I’ll back off,’ or ‘I’ll help you out,’ while just smiling cheerfully.”

“Don’t twist Ji An’s character like that. It’s unpleasant to hear. ……So where is she now?”

In truth, So Min already knew Ji An was in Jeju Island—she’d even spoken to her on the phone about a class opening issue at the academy. Of course, she also knew it was supposed to be a secret from Ha Jun.

After a brief pause, she let out a faint, unreadable laugh and said,

“How would I know where she is? And stop acting like you mean anything to Ji An.”

“Lee So Min. Push any further, and you’ll be crossing the line—not just with Ji An, but with me too.”

But So Min ignored him and kept going.

“If you’re not going to take responsibility for Ji An’s life, just drop it already.”

Ha Jun looked at So Min, who kept moving her lips, his eyes dark and heavy.
