Evil Half Ghost Wife - Chapter 50 Those Are Wise Words
“Teacher Choi?”
Nam Ji Won is completely still in Choi Min Ho’s embrace. At first, she didn’t mind the sudden hug. But, it’s been more than five minutes. She understands that his brother saved her life. Choi Min Ho didn’t have an easy life. She understands that he is just hugging her because he is emotional. What’s more? She can’t move an inch because of the way he is holding her.
A 1-minute hug is okay. But, 5 minutes and more… She didn’t even hug Seo Tae Il for this long.
“Teacher Choi?
Choi Min Ho doesn’t let her go. He shamelessly digs his face in her hair and smiles. She can’t see his smile. She can feel his warm breath on her nape.
“Choi Min Ho!” This time, Nam Ji Won’s voice is dangerously low. “Let go of me now.”
“Stay still. I am not done yet.” He peeks at her. She is getting mad now.
“You fox! I am your student.” She can’t move her arms, but her legs are free. She kicks his legs. “You can’t hug a student.”
This time, he frees his arms. “Ah…I don’t mind breaking rules.”
She clenches her fists and resists the urge to punch his face to wipe off that sneaky smile. He has been feeling her, isn’t he? Pervert! Pervert! Pervert! “Teacher Fox, I have underestimated you. You are more shameless than I can comprehend.”
He pats her head. “I am not more shameless than you, Ji Won. You were the one who forced kisses on someone…for how many times? I forgot.”
She jerks his hand away. “So, you will forcefully hug your student?”
“A teacher is a forever student.” He grins at her. “I am learning from the best.”
Nam Ji Won cracks her knuckles. Calm down! She tells herself. He is the brother of the person who saved her and died for her. He is the one who helped her wake up. He is a good person.
She takes a deep breath and shows him a plastic smile, “I am glad that you are learning, Teacher Choi. But, you should hug someone else. Do you want me to help you date someone? I can be a good coach. I guided a few ghosts in love matters when I was wandering like a ghost.”
“You will?” Choi Min Ho holds his hands behind his back and bends down his waist. His face is inches away from her. He has a fox smile on his face. “I am interested in someone, but she is interested in someone else.”
“Ah!” Nam Ji Won moves her head slightly back absentmindedly. She has a cunning look in her eyes with a sly smile on her lips. “So, you do like someone. I feel bad for that girl who attracted a fox.”
“I do feel bad for her too.” He chuckles in a low voice. “So, tell me. How do I make her look at me? She already has someone else in her heart.”
“It depends.” She rubs her chin. “If it is unrequited love, then it is easier. If it’s a couple, it is a bit tough.”
“Couple.” He moves back away from her.
“So, you are the third person who wants to break them up, huh?” She eyes him sternly. “You are bad, Teacher Choi.”
“I never said that I am a good person.” He cocks his head and laughs.
“You are in luck, Teacher Choi.” She crosses her arms and chins up proudly. “I am a couple breaker with experience.”
Choi Min Ho’s eyes have a mischievous glint. “Is that so?”
“I usually dealt with couples who cheated or wronged someone.” She gives him a thoughtful look. “But, I will help you win that girl’s heart. We will do a double attack. You should find out what she likes and dislikes. Is she the type who likes pampering? Is she an independent type? Is she the mysterious type?”
“She’s cute.” He sits beside her. “I saw her in someone’s future vision first. It was a long time ago. In that vision, she was sitting on the roof and looking distant. The wind and the sunlight played around her hair like they were in tune with her. She was shining to the world alone. At that moment, she looked like she was one with the world. The world was hers. She was the world.”
“Teacher Choi, you are unexpectedly romantic with words.” She is surprised to hear his words. “She must be really beautiful.”
He glances at her. “She is.”
“You really love her, huh?” She winks at him. “We will make her profile first. We need to know her good side and her bad side. We need to make a profile of her boyfriend too.”
“Okay, I will make them and give it to you.” Choi Min Ho’s foxy expression is back. “Keep this a secret from your boyfriend.”
“Hmm?” She raises her brows. “He might be able to help though.”
“The person I like is a student of the academy.” He sighs. “I have to wait a bit before I can officially date her. For her and my reputation, don’t tell anyone yet.”
“Okay.” Nam Ji Won agrees to keep the secret. “If you know that it is wrong, you shouldn’t make a move on her until she graduates.”
“It will be too late if I wait that long.” Choi Min Ho looks up at the sky. “Life is fleeting.”
Nam Ji Won follows his eyes. The white clouds are moving in the sky.
“Our thoughts are like those clouds,” He says, amused. “They are wandering in our mind like these clouds. We can pick up a thought and decide whether we want it to represent us. If we don’t, it will go away or hang out for a while before it goes away. It goes away if we don’t choose to act on it. Our thoughts are not us until we choose them to become us. They don’t represent our true self.”
“Teacher Choi, those are wise words.” The mountain’s wind is cool. The day is warm. Life is fleeting indeed.
“I should have followed that oracle demon’s advice.” Choi Min Ho lays himself down. “I kept fighting my heart when it was inevitable that I would fall in love…” with you.
“Teacher Choi, we resist the things that make us uncomfortable.” Nam Ji Won isn’t looking at him. She doesn’t know who this oracle demon is. She guesses that it must be someone from his past. She closes her eyes and thinks of Seo Tae Il. When did she fall for him? When she was watching him every day for the last five years, it was inevitable for her to fall in love with him.
“Nam Ji Won, those are wise words.” Choi Min Ho plays with the ends of her hair using his fingers.
