Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 9.3

In the car driven by Jae Hyun, he and Shin Hee were both lost in thought. Yoo Shin Hee who is usually cheerful and likes to act like a child now does not say a word. Unable to bear the silence, Jae Hyun turned on the radio in his car. One of the songs from the movie Phantom of the Opera, which was heavy but beautiful, filled the car. At once Shin Hee looked at him sharply.

"I don't like hearing this song. Does this song fit this situation?"

"It suits me."

"I'm struggling with jealousy and envy. Are you the same?"

Shin Hee asked sharply as if she had found an interlocutor to pour out her frustration, while Jae Hyun just sighed and turned off the music.

Jealousy and envy. Jae Hyun and Lisa initially only greeted each other for about a week or two and slowly started chatting little by little. Their relationship clearly hadn't gotten that far. Despite that, Jae Hyun didn't feel happy in this situation either. He doesn't know why.

"Do you want a drink?"

"Yes? Ah, no, I..."

"Take it easy. I'm not hitting on you. I just really want a drink right now."

Hearing Shin Hee's insistent answer before the other person could refuse, Jae Hyun finally nodded slowly. Not because of Shin Hee, but because he suddenly wanted to drink at this time. Maybe alcohol could help him confirm his own feelings that made him confused.

The late-night bar was still quite crowded. The European-style bar room looked neat with a mix of red wood and iron furniture. Shin Hee sat in one corner of the room staring at her cell phone and muttering under her breath.

"That guy. How could he not call me to ask if I'm home yet?"

Shin Hee, who was still feeling hot in the bar room, quickly gulped down the cold water that the barman placed on her table. The summer night was indeed quite humid and sultry. After ordering their drinks and making sure that the waiter had gone away, Shin Hee started to vent to Jae Hyun.

"I dated him for more than 10 years. But now he likes another woman he's only known for 3 months? Is that possible?"

"I don't know."

It doesn't take long to fall for someone else. In fact, many people can fall head over heels at first sight.

"Jeon Jae Hyun, do you want to keep acting like this isn't your problem?"

Shin Hee looked at him sharply as if she was really annoyed with Jae Hyun's half-hearted reaction. At times like this, Jungkook was usually always willing to be on her side. Before that day, the day when Shin Hee declared that she would part with Jungkook, the day when even Jungkook did not try to hold her back.

If only Jungkook had asked her not to leave, Shin Hee would still be in his arms right now. But in fact, Jungkook did not do that. He didn't do something that Shin Hee had been waiting for. Something that she thought would definitely happen.

"This is not my problem."

"It's also your problem."

Shin Hee gave him another sharp look, but Jae Hyun didn't look too discouraged. He was now dizzy thinking about his own problems. After all, he was not Jeon Jungkook who could obey everything Shin Hee said.

"It's not my problem. Anyway..."

"What is it anyway?"

"Hyung won't change his mind if he's determined about something," Jae Hyun said slowly and confidently while looking at Shin Hee blankly.
