Evil Half Ghost Wife - Chapter 6 Is That Your Face Made Up Of Brick?
Never in her dreams, Nam Ji Won could guess that a short rabbit like him could even punch her like that. He runs like a wild cat, jumps like a rabbit, and lands his punch right on Nam Ji Won’s face. She even has a purple eye. It isn’t the worst for her. She has been hurt like this a lot during her training with her father and siblings.
“What do you eat, you trash?” Seo Tae Il shakes his hand. His hand is hurting like he has punched an iron wall. “Is that your face made up of brick?”
“Don’t say a word.” She points her finger at him and holds her jaw with the other hand.
“You are at fault here.” Seo Tae Il is incensed again. “You will meet Eun Ji and explain everything to her. You have to apologize to her.”
“Do you think that she will take you back if I apologize?” She looks at him in a funny way. Seo Tae Il pinches his lips. He wants to poke those twin half moon shaped eyes for looking at him like that.
“Relax, hah!” Nam Ji Won leans back. “I will apologize to her since I have wronged her.”
Seo Tae Il doesn’t trust her at all. His forehead creases. Nam Ji Won chuckles when she sees him like that. Wild kitten!
Nam Ji Won stands up. “I should have her number here…I will just call her.”
“You will apologize to her face to face.” Seo Tae Il jumps on his feet and grabs her wrist. “You will give her a formal apology. You will tell her why you did it.”
“Okay.” She doesn’t like him holding her wrist casually like that. “After that, you will apologize for hitting me.”
Seo Tae Il smirks. “Why would I? I am someone who is fighting for my ex-girlfriend’s honour.”
“Did you hear your words? EX-GIRLFRIEND’s Honor?” Nam Ji Won looks at him with disbelief. She looks like she heard a joke. Seo Tae Il is too mad to reply.
“By the way, you should work on your punch.”
“I don’t want you to advise me.” They start walking toward Geum Eun Ji’s home. “My punch was good enough. It accomplished its task. It hurt you well.”
“My wound will heal in three days. But you sprained your thumb.” She points at his hand. “You should keep your thumb outside like this.”
She shows him her fist. “See? If you keep it inside, you will badly injure it next time.”
Seo Tae Il stares at her fist and tries to make the same form, but his thumb hurts. He frowns deeply. This isn’t good for him.
“Rather than punching, focus on hitting with your legs. You are short. You need to exercise more to make your body stronger. You should drink milk.”
He finds himself listening to her advises intently. This Ju Jimin knows how to fight. Then, why didn’t he punch him back? Why should he listen to this trash? He is the cause behind his breakup with Eun Ji.
“Keep your mouth shut.” Seo Tae Il scolds Nam Ji Won. “It looks like you are well. We will run to Eun Ji’s house.”
He grabs her hand with his left hand and starts dragging her along with her. They find Eun Ji just outside her house. She is coming back from her singing school. She is shocked to see Seo Tae Il and Nam Ji Won together.
“Did you fight with Jimin Oppa?” Her eyes bulge out when she sees Nam Ji Won’s purple eye. Seo Tae Il is hurt when he sees her like that, but he pretends like he doesn’t care. Nam Ji Won feels guiltier. She steps forward and gives her a deep bow.
“I am sorry, Geum Eun Ji.” She speaks in a solemn voice. “I believed the rumours that you were going out with Jin Minsoo. I thought that he wronged his ex-girlfriend. That’s why I wanted him to experience what he did to someone else. Everything that I did with you was a play. I never liked you in that sense or loved you. I wanted you to break up with Jin Minsoo because I believed in the rumour. I played with your feelings. Please forgive me for my actions.”
Geum Eun Ji is speechless when she hears the words. It is true that Nam Ji Won flirted with her and treated her good, but she never had those kinds of intentions. Besides, she has found her quite shady since the beginning.
“Jimin Oppa, you are misunderstanding something. I was never interested in you.”
Both Seo Tae Il and Nam Ji Won stare at her with a puzzled expression.
“Jimin Oppa,” Geum Eun Ji looks at her with pity. “I went out with Seo Tae Il. I think that he already told you that. I was never interested in you. I didn’t even like your company because you seemed like a shady personality. I treated you nicely because you never treated me bad and you seemed like you desperately wanted to be my friend. Now, I am not comfortable knowing your true reasons. You shouldn’t interfere with other people lives.”
“….” Nam Ji Won’s jaw is still hurting. She feels like cursing someone right now. Geum Eun Ji holds back her laugh when she sees her expression.
“People changes and their feelings change like the seasons. If Jin Minsoo leaves his girlfriend for someone else, why is it wrong? Is it right if he stays with her even when he has no feelings for her?” She asks Nam Ji Won.
Nam Ji Won doesn’t agree with her views. Is it love if it could be easily changed like seasons?
“Did your feelings change for me too like the seasons?” Seo Tae Il asks suddenly. “I thought that you left me for him.”
“Tae Il, I…” She looks down at her feet. “My feelings changed a long time ago. You are always busy with your work. The gap between us is becoming bigger with time. You are like a bright sun. It hurts to look at you. I liked you once, Tae Il. But I am tired.”
Seo Tae Il smiles at her sadly. “Did you find that person who doesn’t make you blind?”
She doesn’t meet his gaze. “Yes, I am going out with Park Doyoon now. He is my classmate. He is always there for me. Do not think that I cheated on you. I broke up with you before I decided to go out with him.”
She is justifying her reasons. But who is she justifying her reasons to? Is it for herself or is it Tae Il?
Seo Tae Il grabs Nam Ji Won’s hand. He drags her away from Geum Eun Ji and her house. They stop after they reach a quiet street. It is already dark.
Nam Ji Won notices his back tremble weakly. She stands behind his back and covers his eyes with her hand.
“If you want to cry, you can cry.” Nam Ji Won whispers in his ears. “Nobody is watching. I am standing behind you. I cannot see your tears either.”
