Chapter 13
“Are you trying to claim that it was my fault that you and I broke up the engagement?”
This time, I didn’t even get angry and just laughed. How much did this guy suffer from Seong Chan-young so that his thoughts continued to flow in an extreme and negative direction?
‘I’ll let you off the hook cuz you’re such a pitiful guy.’
I told Baek Do-jun neatly and kindly about what was in the envelope.
“No. I’ve just prepared a memorandum that I won’t show up in front of you in the future, and a document that you and I will agree to a breakup.”
“It can’t be……it’s true.”
Baek Do-jun, who was staring at me in disbelief, opened the envelope and immediately caught a pheromone of anger. Inside the envelope was a memorandum of prohibition of access in the same form that I handed to Seo Eun-soo. In addition, the consent form for breaking up the engagement, which is the purpose of today, was also attached.
I thought the signature would be suspicious because of the different handwriting, so I had it stamped. With Baek Do-jun’s signature or seal in the blank space, my future worries will be over.
‘I had such a hard time finding out where the seal stamp is..….’
“Once you agree to that, it’s the end of the relationship between you and me.”
I cut the grilled short rib patties into bite-sized pieces. The savory chestnut filling inside made my mouth water. Baek Do-jun was puzzled when he saw me calmly starting eating first.
“Really, you and I…… You said you’d break up my engagement. Without putting any disadvantage on me like this.”
“Yes, I even told you a few times.”
“…….”
“I know you’ve suffered a lot because of me. However, I hope you don’t dismiss my decision as a lie even now.”
When I put a piece of cool cabbage kimchi on tteok-galbi and swallowed it with white rice, there was no better heaven. I could forget the unpleasant pheromones that Baek Do-jun released just now, thanks to the rice that melts gently in my mouth.
“You didn’t want me to tremble. Because I’ve always bothered you.”
“…….”
“But I’m not asking you to forgive me. I don’t think I can make up for the past when you were hurt by such an apology.”
However,
“I meant it when I said I don’t like you. I didn’t choose you as my fiance because I really didn’t feel anything about you from the beginning.”
“……what are you talking about?”
“It means that I had a heart that likes you and also a heart that hates you.”
This was what I said to Baek Do-jun on behalf of Seong Chan-young. Seong Chan-young in the original work did not admit it until he fell to the rock bottom and died, but he definitely had a heart for Baek Do-jun.
‘Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of attacking Baek Do-jun.’
Seong Chan-young had not only a sense of inferiority to Seo Eun-soo, but also a desire to be loved by Baek Do-jun. The reason why I’m telling Baek Do-jun this now was not because of compassion for Seong Chan-young, but to break up the marriage with Baek Do-jun more definitely.
‘As I keep looking for reasons, I have no choice but to convince you like this.’
I didn’t feel guilty. This would be a better choice for me and for Baek Do-jun.
This was the best I could do.
Baek Do-jun was quite shocked by the successive confessions, and unlike me, he sat still with a spoon frozen in his hand.
“But why….”
“Not now. My heart for you has cooled down, and I am sick and tired of my ugly jealousy for Seo Eun-soo.”
The next food for chopsticks was
