Chapter 75: Shut up, you homewrecker!
I waited for Jin-Yeok’s response, hoping he would clear the misunderstanding because I couldn’t interfere. I would only be making things worse and she just might yell at me.
But then, when Jin-Yeok did open his mouth, he first sighed, glanced around at the eyes on us, and then at me.
I had my lips pursed, my hands holding each other and my gaze on the floor. He saw this and thought I was uncomfortable so he opened his mouth once more and decided to respond to her.
"Su-Yeon, can you leave it at that for now? I’ll talk to you about it later." He said. "For now, just leave us." Huh? Why was he dismissing it like that? Where was the warmth and affection he was meant to show her? "You’re putting Jo-Pil on the spot."
Wait, what? Me? She’s putting me on the spot? Excuse me, sir, I believe you’re the one doing that.
"It’s not enough that you called him a breeder to his face but you’re also making a scene. It’s too much."
Why was he being so mean to her? It was as if he didn’t care about her feelings at all.
"What do you mean by that, Jin?" Su-Yeon, who couldn’t understand his response, asked. "Are you telling me to leave just so that things can be comfortable? I deserve to know why you’re going this far with your breeder?"
Jin-Yeok’s face immediately turned grim and his eyebrows furrowed. The smile on his lips turned cold and heartless as he gazed at his girlfriend.
As much as he tried to keep up his soft appearance, it felt like he couldn’t tolerate things any longer.
"Don’t call him that," he said. "Don’t call him a ’thing’ or a breeder. He’s a human being and he has a name. So, treat him like one."
