The Substitute Wife || JR&LK ✔️

CHAPTER 198

Upon hearing this, he laughed. In his heart, he also felt that she was truly not worth it.

When Bambam entered the bar, only a few people were inside. Kim Namjoon saw him and, as he was now familiar with Bamban's regular patronage, he nodded his head at him.

Bambam ordered a drink, and Kim Namjoon delivered it to him personally. He'd seen the news about Bambam's company listing, and he placed the glass bottle down and said, "Congrats."

Bambam grinned while pouring out two glasses and then passed one of them to Kim Namjoon. "Care for a drink?"

Kim Namjoon did not stand on courtesy and pulled the chair across from Bambam to take a seat before he accepted the glass of alcohol. After a word of thanks, they touched their glasses and yanked back their heads to take a gulp. They didn't speak much and, once the bar had gotten busier, Kim Namjoon got up and prepared to leave but Bambam stopped him. "Mr. Kim, can I ask you a question?"

Kim Namjoon gestured to him to take another shot. Bambam did, and once the spicy sensation spread to his stomach, he looked up at Kim Namjoon and asked, "Did you regret giving up all that glory and wealth for your wife?"

"If I had lost my wife for glory and wealth, I would definitely have regretted that." After Kim Namjoon said this, he smiled amicably and indicated for Bambam to make himself at home before he turned to entertain the other customers.

It was a simple sentence, but it was like a hand that clenched Bambam's heart tightly, causing him to exalt a breath of air in pain.

Glory and wealth? One true love?

Which will I choose when these two are in conflict?

Bambam thought that there would definitely be many people in the world who would choose glory and wealth like he had. He also believed that, at the beginning, these people had chosen to pursue glory and wealth for the sake of the person to whom they had wanted to give this glory and wealth. However, after one has obtained them, the person for whom they were intended was no longer by one's side.

As this thought crossed his mind, Bambam's lip twitched into a faint smile. Lifting up his glass, he began furiously gulping down alcohol. When he was completely drunk, his phone began to ring. He dug it out from his pocket and forced his eyes to open. He looked at the caller ID for some time but he couldn't manage to make out who was calling. After he picked up the call, before the person on the line could speak, he said, "My wife, Lisa. Lisa, my wife..."

When Choi Jeongyeon, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Bambam call out these words repeatedly, her eyes became cold and sharp.

......

Lisa Lim had dreamed of Jeon Jungkook the night before, making her restless the next day at work. Once it was time to leave work, Kim Jennie, a colleague with whom she was close, asked her out to a bar later that night.

Lisa Lim had turned Kim Jennie down the previous night when she had asked her out to dinner, and she felt that it would be inappropriate to turn her down again. Also, Lisa Lim felt she should get out to socialize, so she agreed. After dinner, they went to a bar.

It was only 9:00 p.m., and there weren't many people in the bar. As Lisa Lim was afraid that her stomach would ache if she drank alcohol so late, she ordered a glass of fruit juice, and Kim Jennie ordered a bottle of alcohol. As they drank, she complained to Lisa Lim about her problems with her jerkish boyfriend.

Kim Jennie could hold her alcohol well and, within an hour, she'd gone through six bottles. There were now many more people in the bar, and they'd started gathering on the dance floor swaying to the music.
