Return To The Building Owner [EN]: Chapter 654

A few hours later.

The two of them left the hospital.

“Brother-in-law, I feel dizzy.”

Han Jimin, exiting the hospital, grabbed Hyun-sung’s arm beside her. Hyun-sung had no choice but to support her.

“Are you very dizzy?”

“No, just a little. Let’s just go to the parking lot like this.”

Han Jimin leaned on Hyun-sung’s arm and started walking towards the parking lot.

A moment later.

Arriving at the parking lot, Hyun-sung quickly opened the passenger seat door and said,

“Get in quickly.”

“Thank you, brother-in-law.”

Hyun-sung closed the door after confirming that Han Jimin had completely gotten into the passenger seat. Then, he immediately got into the driver’s seat.

The Jeep, with the two of them inside, had just passed through the main gate of the hospital when Han Jimin immediately opened her mouth.

“What did my sister say?”

“She said it’s a relief it’s not a serious illness.”

“Tch, I was in so much pain…….”

Han Jimin pouted. Seeing that, Hyun-sung chuckled and immediately continued,

“How are you feeling now?”

“I still feel a little sick.”

It was then.

A porridge shop came into Hyun-sung’s view. Hyun-sung immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road.

“Why are we here?”

“Didn’t you hear what the doctor said earlier? He told you to eat porridge today, right?”

“Oh, right. Porridge…….”

Han Jimin looked at the porridge shop as if she had just remembered.

“What kind of porridge do you like?”

“Um, vegetable porridge.”

“And what else?”

“What else?”

“You can’t just eat one meal, can you? You have to eat two meals today, for lunch and dinner, right?”

“Then pumpkin porridge.”

Hyun-sung immediately got out of the car and went into the porridge shop. Watching his retreating figure, Han Jimin’s expression began to change subtly.

‘No matter how I look at it, he’s such a catch [desirable person].’

After thinking for a moment, Han Jimin started making a phone call.

Beep, beep.

The signal rang once, and the other party immediately answered the phone.

-Hello.

“Jisoo *unnie* [older sister or respected female friend], it’s me.”

The place Han Jimin called was none other than Yoon Jisoo.

-Oh? Jimin-ah, how are you feeling?

“I still feel a little sick, but it’s bearable. I’m just leaving the hospital now.”

-Where’s Hyun-sung?

“Brother-in-law just went into the porridge shop. Even though I said I was okay, he insisted that I had to eat porridge today and went to buy it.”

A strange smile spread across Han Jimin’s face. She immediately continued,

“Brother-in-law said he’s going to have lunch at our house. When I told him to just go, he said that if I eat alone when I’m sick, I won’t have an appetite, so he’s going to eat with me. I’m calling in case my sister is waiting.”

-Huh? Oh, okay. I understand.

“I’ll come visit Bupyeong in a few days when I feel better.”

-Okay, sure.

“Then, see you next time, *unnie*.”

Click.

A bitter smile began to spread across Han Jimin’s face after she hung up the phone.

A moment later.

As Hyun-sung got into the driver’s seat, Han Jimin immediately opened her mouth.

“Thank you, brother-in-law. I almost had a big problem today if it weren’t for you.”

“So, be careful not to eat food at night.”

“Yes, I understand. But, brother-in-law, are you always this kind?”

“…….”

Hyun-sung didn’t respond and immediately started the car. Then, Han Jimin opened her mouth again towards Hyun-sung.

“Brother-in-law, why aren’t you answering?”

“…….”

“Huh? You’re still not answering?”

“…….”

“Brother-in-law!”

Han Jimin shouted. Hyun-sung glanced at Han Jimin and said,

“Let’s just go quietly. Aren’t you tired?”

“I’m not tired at all when I’m with brother-in-law. Actually, I…….”

Han Jimin’s words were endless. Her words continued until they arrived home.

20 minutes later.

Squeak.

Just as Hyun-sung was about to get out of the car after arriving in front of the house,

Han Jimin suddenly called out to Hyun-sung.

“Brother-in-law!”

“Yeah, why?”

“Are you always this quiet?”

“Yeah.”

Hyun-sung nodded. He didn’t have anything to say anyway, but he thought that if he talked too much, he might get strangely involved.

The two got out of the car.

This time, Han Jimin spoke first.

“Brother-in-law, can you carry me down the stairs?”

“Is your body that bad?”

“Yes, I feel like I don’t have any strength left in my body.”

Hyun-sung was in a difficult situation. He couldn’t ignore the patient’s request, but he didn’t really want to carry her on his back.

But what could he do? She was a patient.

After thinking for a moment, Hyun-sung had no choice but to turn his back to her.

“Thank you, brother-in-law.”

Han Jimin quickly climbed on his back and wrapped her arms around Hyun-sung’s neck. Hyun-sung momentarily regretted his decision, but he had no choice but to carry her down the stairs.

“Then, I’ll be going now.”

Hyun-sung said after putting her down in front of the door. Then, Han Jimin looked at Hyun-sung and frowned.

“Brother-in-law, aren’t you being too much?”

“Huh? Why?”

“No, is someone going to eat you up? Why are you in such a hurry to leave without even coming into the room?”

“Oh? That’s…….”

Hyun-sung couldn’t continue his words. Whatever the reason, Han Jimin’s words were correct.

Hyun-sung had no choice but to enter the room.

Han Jimin immediately asked,

“Brother-in-law, what are you going to eat?”

“Huh? What do you mean, eat?”

“I’m going to eat porridge, but I can’t just watch you, can I? And you’ve been suffering because of me since this morning, so I can’t just send you away. Don’t you think so?”

“No, I’m just going home to…….”

“No, I can’t let you. That’s not polite. Don’t do that and tell me quickly.”

Hyun-sung was in a difficult situation. He had rushed out after receiving an urgent phone call before even eating breakfast. The problem was Yoon Jisoo at home. She must be waiting for him.

“Brother-in-law, hurry up.”

“Don’t do that and eat alone. I’m going home to eat with my sister…….”

“Tch! Are you really going to do that? Then I won’t eat either.”

“Huh? That’s not right.”

“So, hurry up and order something for brother-in-law too. I’m hungry.”

“Oh, okay, fine…….”

Hyun-sung had no choice but to follow Han Jimin’s words.

A moment later.

Hyun-sung started eating *jjambong* [spicy seafood noodle soup], and Han Jimin started eating vegetable porridge.

Slurp, slurp.

As Hyun-sung ate the *jjambong* quickly, Han Jimin, watching him, opened her mouth.

“Eat a little slower. Is someone chasing you?”

“Huh? It’s not that, it’s just that I originally eat fast…….”

“So, eat slowly even if it’s just today. Do you know how bad it is for your health to eat quickly?”

Hyun-sung was anxious. Thinking of Yoon Jisoo waiting at home, he felt like even the time it took to chew the *jjambong* was a waste.

But what could he do? The person in front of him was the priority.

Hyun-sung had no choice but to adjust his eating speed.

“Brother-in-law.”

“Yeah, why?”

“I heard you’re seven years younger than my sister?”

“Oh? Yeah, but why are you asking that?”

“I’m just curious.”

“Curious? About what?”

Hyun-sung stopped eating *jjambong* and stared at Han Jimin. It meant that her question was absurd.

“What’s wrong with brother-in-law that you’re with a sister who’s seven years older…….”

“Wait a minute!”

Hyun-sung put down his chopsticks and interrupted Han Jimin. Then, he immediately continued,

“What did you just say?”

“Huh? What did I……?”

“What’s wrong with my sister?”

“My sister is older, isn’t she?”

“So?”

“Huh?”

Han Jimin looked at Hyun-sung with a puzzled expression. Then, Hyun-sung’s words continued,

“What’s wrong with being older?”

“No, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong, I’m just stating the facts…….”

“You said you were just stating the facts? I don’t think so. It seems like you’re looking down on my sister, am I wrong?”

“Huh? When did I do that?”

“You just said it a little while ago. What’s wrong with me that I’m meeting a sister who’s seven years older, didn’t you?”

“That’s…….”

Han Jimin had nothing to say. The words she had been thinking unconsciously came out.

It was then.

Hyun-sung suddenly stood up from his seat.

“Brother-in-law, why?”

“I’m done eating.”

“You haven’t even eaten half of it?”

“I lost my appetite. Han Jimin-ssi [formal address], let me say one thing. Don’t call our Jisoo-ssi’s name carelessly in the future.”

“Brother-in-law!”

Han Jimin looked at Hyun-sung with a surprised expression. Then, Hyun-sung immediately continued,

“Don’t call me brother-in-law either in the future. I don’t have any intention of having a woman who badmouths her sister behind her back as my sister-in-law. And people don’t do that. No matter how much you look down on our Jisoo-ssi, there’s a limit to how you can say such things out loud?”

Hyun-sung’s words continued again.

“And I just let it go when you played a prank last time even though you didn’t have any luggage, but now you’re looking down on my sister’s age?”

“Brother-in-law, why are you doing this?”

“I think I told you not to call me brother-in-law a little while ago.”

“It’s not that, I just think brother-in-law is too good for her…….”

“See, Han Jimin-ssi is still definitely looking down on our Jisoo-ssi. And just keep one thing in mind. I’m not better than our Jisoo-ssi in any way. So, never again…… Let’s stop, there’s no reason to see each other anymore anyway.”

Hyun-sung finished speaking and left Han Jimin’s room. He kept hearing Han Jimin’s voice from behind, but he ignored it and walked outside to where his car was.

A moment later.

As soon as Hyun-sung got into the car, he made a phone call somewhere.

Beep, beep!

The other party immediately answered the phone after the signal rang once.

-Hello.

“Jisoo-ssi, it’s me.”

The person Hyun-sung called was his wife, Yoon Jisoo.

-What’s going on?

Hyun-sung tilted his head momentarily. The reason was that her voice strangely felt colder than usual.

“What’s wrong with your voice?”

-What do you mean?

“Did something happen?”

-Nothing happened. By the way, did you have lunch?

“Huh? Lunch?”

Hyun-sung tilted his head at the word ‘lunch’. The reason was that he wondered how Yoon Jisoo knew he was eating lunch. He had never told her.

“How did you know? That I was eating lunch.”

-Jimin was bragging about it? That she was going to have lunch with you.

“Huh? When?”

-When else? When you went into the porridge shop to buy porridge, even though Jimin said it was okay.

“Ha…….”

Hyun-sung was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even speak.

No wonder she kept telling him to eat lunch and go, even though he said he was just going to leave. In the end, it meant that everything was planned from the beginning.

“Jisoo-ssi, listen carefully to what I’m going to say from now on.”

-No, I don’t want to listen.

“I’m going to tell you everything that Han Jimin-ssi did from now on, so listen carefully. Jisoo-ssi, you were also taken advantage of.”

-Huh? I was taken advantage of?”

“Yes, so listen carefully from now on. That’s because…….”

Hyun-sung began to explain in detail what had happened so far.

A moment later.

After Hyun-sung’s explanation, Yoon Jisoo immediately asked,

-Is that true?

“Would I have left the *jjambong* unfinished if it wasn’t true?”

-Oh, that bitch is really…….”

“I can tolerate everything else, but I can’t forgive her for badmouthing Jisoo-ssi behind her back. I won’t be seeing that woman anymore in the future.”

-How could that bitch do that to me…….”

“Think carefully and decide. Whether you’re going to use a woman who badmouths you behind your back as an employee.”

-Um, I understand. Leave it to me. I’ll take care of it. And I’m sorry, I didn’t know and I was just…….”

“It’s okay, it was a situation where you could misunderstand, but don’t forget to check with me first no matter what you hear in the future.”

-Yes, I promise. Come quickly, I miss you.”

Click.

Yoon Jisoo’s expression instantly distorted after she hung up the phone.

After a while.

Yoon Jisoo immediately started making a phone call somewhere.

Beep, beep.

-Hello.

“Jimin-ah, it’s *unnie*.”

The person Yoon Jisoo called was Han Jimin.

-Oh? *Unnie*?

“Why are you so surprised?”

-No, just…….”

“I won’t talk long. You know better than anyone what you’ve done anyway.”

-Unnie, why are you doing this? You’re scaring me.”

“Listen carefully, you’re fired as of this moment. You don’t have to come to the cafe.”

-Unnie, unnie……!”

Click.

Yoon Jisoo hung up the phone immediately, even though she heard the desperate voice calling from beyond the phone.

Beep, beep…….

The phone kept ringing, but Yoon Jisoo didn’t answer the phone anymore.
