chapter 15
15 – 1-15. The husband from Company S takes a look.
My whole body feels lethargic and tired.
I am so tired that I will not be able to sleep when I return home.
But unlike that, my heart was full and my heart felt light, as if it was flying.
“Whoa….!”
Proof that you enjoyed your work.
At first, I was a bit lost on what to do, but that was it for the first few minutes.
As he had already been promoted to the level of a manager once, he seemed to be able to clearly see with his own eyes the work that ordinary employees did.
Furthermore, all the things that bothered people that I felt while I was a manager.
For example, intentionally reporting completed work right before leaving work.
Making it so you don’t know what you’ve done with unnecessary effort
When copying and pasting, inserting the font without modifying it
I modified all of those things and adjusted them exactly to my taste, and the result was──
“After leaving once, the person has changed? If this continues, I will soon be appointed as a substitute!”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
─In this way, it was a repetition of a virtuous cycle in which good intentions returned to good intentions.
He pats my shoulder and seems to like it.
The two assistant managers next to me were also looking at me with a subtle warning–hey, if you do this, you’ll be in trouble again.
“I think it’s probably thanks to my gunner.”
“Shooter? You mean this assistant manager?”
“Yes. The assistant manager taught me everything.”
“Huh! Assistant manager, do you feel good?”
“Ah…It’s nothing special.”
Mr. Lee laughs it off lightly.
At the same time, the harsh look in his eyes softened slightly.
‘If you think about it, this manager… No, this assistant manager’s personality was a total mess, right?’
When I had Assistant Manager Lee as my commander, every day was really difficult.
I don’t really crave people, but should I say that I nibble on them little by little?
Even because she was a woman, she was chewed over by b*tches outside.
‘If you think about that, really….’
It was only after I resorted to an overseas business trip that the longing disappeared.
It may seem meaningless now, but at the time, I thought people were really crazy.
A life that is oppressive from the inside and oppressive from the outside.
When I think about it now, I wonder how I survived.
‘You probably lived only working, right?’
So later on, I lived with the assistant manager as my subordinate.
Anyway, since I became his superior, the assistant manager couldn’t make a fuss anymore.
Instead, we got excited about gossiping behind each other’s backs, but that also disappeared after we got married.
I guess people change when they get married.
Even in a good way. Even in a bad way.
‘Anyway, I’m glad it ended well.’
I refuse to go through the same process again as last time.
If you know whether it is poop or soybean paste, it is normal to eat it separately.
I was relieved that my reality had improved a little.
And
“Let’s get off work today! And since Mr. Hyunseong is here too, let’s schedule a dinner party later.”
“Yes?”
“I believe in this assistant manager as much as Mr. Hyunseong believes in me!”
“….I will prepare well.”
‘Wow.’
Chief.
I’m thankful that they didn’t intentionally schedule it for today because they thought of me, but I feel like I’m going to dry out and die in real time thanks to that consideration.
‘Look at that one’s eyes, really.’
The eyes are like those of a wildcat living in a mountain.
Especially with her short hair and eyes like that, she looks like a female special forces soldier somewhere.
What is the military doing that doesn’t punish people like that for active duty? I think I can do a much better job than most men.
“Hyeonseong.”
“Huh?”
I packed my bag and headed out of the department.
Time waiting for the elevator. Gyeonghyeongsu approached across the street.
“Really…I can just do as you say?”
“Honestly, there is no other alternative, right?”
It would be better if I didn’t wake up the child.
Accidents had already been eliminated.
In such a situation, the only way out for this bastard is,
“But that’s why… Ha, what I’m saying is ridiculous, but it’s really okay, right?”
Marry Kim Ji-yeon.
That was my condition.
Even though he thinks to himself, Kyungsoo keeps hesitating about how absurd it is.
“I’m fine.”
So, it’s Kyungsoo.
“Jiyeon. Take responsibility.”
“……I’m sorry. And thank you.”
Thank you.
Why are they looking at me like they have arbitrarily forgiven me?
‘You are so mistaken.’
I didn’t do anything like forgiveness.
Rather than that, he was full of revenge.
So I didn’t stop him. On the contrary, it encouraged him even more strongly.
“…You should leave the trash to the trash.”
If I decide to take care of it for no reason, I will only get dirty.
I was already able to feel that fact through Jiyeon Kim.
─Buuung!
‘Huh? Mom?’
The sound of a phone ringing while going down from the elevator.
There were people around me, so I put it on mute and got off the elevator to answer the phone.
“Why are you calling me all of a sudden?”
[Hyeonseong-ah. Are you at work now?]
“Oh yes. I’m going to finish now and go back.”
Going back home.
I have already found out where my house is.
You don’t have to go back to your parents’ house like you did yesterday.
My heart is pounding as I return to my own room after a long time.
And towards me.
[Hyeonseong-ah. Back door. Be sure to go out the back door. You understand what Mom said, right?]
“Yes?”
[Mom will explain everything later, so go out the back door.]
“…………”
They tell you to go out the back door.
I held my breath for a moment and looked ahead.
“Are their parents coming to work?”
[? How do you know that?]
“That…”
The reason was simple.
“Han son-in-law, it’s been a while since I last saw you.”
“……Ha”
Because I already came out the front door.
****************************
The entire story of the incident was simple.
I returned to Korea.
After learning the news, Jiyeon said that your father came to see me.
At the same time, it is said that they created a space for family members to have deep conversations and resolve misunderstandings….
‘This isn’t Ssang8nyeon or the Joseon Dynasty.’
What on earth is this?
With both mom and dad’s faces rotting, my father-in-law (the person who was there) ordered makgeolli and poured a glass for each of her parents.
“Let’s have a drink and talk first.”
The hand of my father-in-law.
“Bring the car.”
Dad quietly refused.
“I’m not good at drinking alcohol….”
Mom also refused.
“….Keuhum!”
The atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing.
The bowls, which were as large as the craftsman’s adult size, were raised and she shouted loudly at us.
“Let’s do marriage properly again.”
“””…………”””
I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t even come up with an answer.
The look in your eyes that tells you to start talking.
The father-in-law seemed to have taken this as a positive sign and continued speaking, raising his voice loudly.
“It’s true that my child made a mistake when she was still young. But how does one live without making a mistake? My daughter has also reflected a lot and will never do something like this again. So, let’s not blush like this, children who like each other. “Let’s get back together again.”
“……………………….”
“Honey.”
My father is slowly reaching for the earthen pot.
Her mother quickly put her hand on her to stop her, but her father-in-law’s hand did not.
“No matter what, a man needs alcohol to speak. Here, take a drink.”
“…..Huh!”
hehehe!
Uhhhhh!
My father holds his glass so tightly that his veins are visible.
I endured the house that was about to throw me, but you poured me a drink there?
At this point, his father seemed to have found it rather funny, so he shook his head in silence.
He just turned his head and looked at me without saying a word.
“Hyunseong…..”
“Yes, father.”
“I’m going to wake up first.”
“…………”
I can’t possibly be here.
It seemed as if the desperate feeling that I was going to have an accident if I stayed here came to me.
“Huh? In-laws! Where are you going now!”
“……Ah.”
My father got up from his seat and tried to leave, and my father-in-law grabbed his wrist.
Now, I have truly reached my limit.
“Let go of this hand, you Gannasuki.”
“W-what…?”
“Is that bastard really going to gouge out both eyes?”
“…..In-law. Isn’t it better to end things on good terms when things turn out well? Even the other kids are watching it now.”
“If all the kids are watching, shouldn’t they behave properly from now on?”
“Are you going to keep coming out like this?”
“You’re talking about an asshole, but if anyone sees you, they’ll think you’re talking!”
The two people gradually become more heated.
If it were normal, I would have stopped him, told him to hold on, told him to stop, and asked what he was doing when everyone else was watching.
Two people who didn’t get along well in the first place. At least my father was patient when I told him that I was the woman he really wanted to marry, but that wasn’t the case anymore.
“Why are you coveting our family’s precious son in the first place?”
“When did my daughter covet your son? Your son coveted my daughter!”
“Now that you’re the boss, get the hell away. In the first place, you weren’t our son’s daughter-in-law, you were someone else’s son’s daughter-in-law!”
“So, I am so sorry for making that one mistake!”
“Do you know that it’s just one or two mistakes that make you lash out at a child? You should marry someone who has been very naughty and cruel, so why are you holding on to your child’s son!”
The voice is getting louder.
Even though Kim Ji-yeon was swearing so much that it was hard for her to hear it, her b*tch’s reaction was consistently expressionless from beginning to end.
‘No, that’s not it?’
A look in his eyes that says he doesn’t like it.
The look in his eyes is growing irritated because things aren’t going his way.
“Ha…..”
I drank the alcohol from her father’s glass instead.
I felt like I had to drink at least to survive.
How long on earth will this sh*t last?
I was starting to hate everything more and more.
“You and Jiyeon. What are you two doing here now?”
“”───!””
The restaurant door opens and my mother-in-law comes in.
I wondered how she knew and came in, but it seems that her mother, who was quiet next to her, sent a message.
“You.”
“!,….I didn’t do anything.”
“I’m not doing anything! And Jiyeon, you too! Do you want to do this to your dad?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Ugh….Ugh!”
Ayu, ah, oh my gosh!
The mother-in-law was trying to pull the two people to their feet by slamming the humidifier as if she was frustrated with the world.
The father-in-law shouted, pressing down on her mother-in-law’s hand with his weight.
“If the child is just crying in the room, then you become the child’s father and tell him to stay still!”
“If you cry, just let me cry! I did something stupid, so I should cry!”
“You said my child did something wrong! It was a mistake, but isn’t that what happens in people’s lives?”
“Oh my, this person! Do you think that only our children are precious? You should know that other people’s families are also precious!”
The mother-in-law bowed her head and apologized several times and tried to help them get up.
However, contrary to the mother-in-law’s wishes, the father-in-law used her courage to endure and spoke to Ji-yeon, who was sitting next to her.
“You said you were upset with your son-in-law, right?”
‘Are you upset?’
It’s a shame.
He says he feels sorry for me.
I felt a little interested and looked at Jiyeon with my hand on my chin.
“….Yoo Hyeon-seong.”
So, I’m waiting to hear what will be said.
“Do you like hanging out with a b*tch who sells her body?”
“……………………….”
It was beyond my imagination, perhaps even as expected.
