Chapter 129 – Anecdotal – The Story of a Nuclear and Gold Player (11)

※This story is centered on Kang Kyung-chul’s ex-wife, Kim Seon-ha.
──────────

Kim Seon-ha’s life was terribly twisted.

Until then, she had been living her gracious life on the hefty living expenses that her now-divorced ex-husband pays each month. Every morning, she chats while having brunch with the same apartment moms at a nearby cafe, sweats at the sports center, and spends the rest of her time browsing TV and the Internet.

At home, she has a handsome younger husband and a smart son. She thought that if she was a woman, she was living a wonderful life that anyone would envy.

But one day, such a peaceful life started to creak.
It started when Kim Seon-ha’s ex-husband filed a paternity suit. She didn’t know where or what she had heard, that her ex, dancing like an idiot on the palm of her own, had suddenly given her superpowers.

She’s been a mess ever since. Her living expenses, which were paid in the name of her child support, were immediately stopped. If she wanted to continue, she would have to take a paternity test at a court-appointed hospital and she would have to prove that her son was her ex-husband’s son.

Of course she was, but Kim Seon-ha had no intention of taking the test. The odds of being her ex-husband’s biological son weren’t out of the question, but the odds of not being hers were much higher. Besides, she may have to vomit all her living expenses that she has received so far if it is found out that she is not her biological father. It was something she should never have.

But even if she just held on, things weren’t going to be solved. In court, she constantly pressed her, threatening to pay a fine or imprison her.

She thought that it couldn’t go on like this, so Kim Seon-ha decided to visit her ex-husband’s apartment and meet her in person. If it was her ex she knew, she thought, he could convince her by the look on her face and drop her lawsuit. After all, that man is a man with no strengths besides having a lot of money and being a good person.

But he was a completely different person. Not only was he staring at him with cold eyes, but he had a young girl who looked like a high school student next to him.

Clearly, her young bitch must have blown nonsense into his ex’s head. Having judged that, Kim Seon-ha decided to impose appropriate sanctions on the two.

It was a momentary idea to try to crash into a car. He only meant to threaten her, so she didn’t really want to fuck her. I meant to make you realize that if you piss me off more than this, someone might get hurt.

However, the operation ultimately failed. Kim Seon-ha momentarily misunderstood the accelerator and brake and accelerated suddenly. She didn’t hit the car herself, but her ex-husband hurt her head enough to bleed. As a bonus, two of her foreign cars, which were parked quietly, were also hit.

Nothing happened. Kim Seon-ha herself was also injured and received treatment at the hospital, and she was even put on trial for special injury. Most of all, he was charged an exorbitant amount for repairs to the car he crashed into.

20 million won and 70 million won. I don’t know how the amount came out, but it was the repair cost requested by the other party’s insurance company.
Naturally, having no money for it, Kim Seon-ha declined the agreement, and this time she again became embroiled in a civil lawsuit with those people.

But did I say don’t be new to life? When there were bad things, there were also good things. Many women who saw the news about Kim Seon-ha, who caused her accident this time, reached out to her with her helping hand.

Her current ex-husband, Kang Kyung-cheol, was a public enemy among some women. He not only made a lot of money while running My Tube for sexual exploitation, but also randomly sued women who criticized it.

Now, ex-husband Kang Kyung-cheol is even called the enemy of all women in Korea. And the women over there lifted Kim Seon-ha, who physically attacked and injured Gyeong-cheol, like a hero. On the female subject site, Kim Seon-ha was called Joan of Arc, or her godmother, and even started raising money to help her lawsuit.

Thanks to that, Kim Seon-ha was able to relax even though she was cornered.
Besides, today is the day I am discharged from the hospital after a week of examination and treatment. Kim Seon-ha felt even better today because of the freedom he had enjoyed after a long time.

There were a lot of problems to be solved in the future. From paternity lawsuits to special injury charges, to vehicle compensation. But she, Kim Seon-ha, vaguely thought it would work out somehow. She put off all the troublesome things and decided to enjoy the moment.

As soon as she left Kim Seon-ha’s hospital, she headed to her cafe right across from her. She is a famous foreign-affiliated cafe with chain stores nationwide, and she used this cafe every day before her hospitalization.

“Today’s short coffee and brown rice cream soup, please.”

She waited in her line for a while, and when it was her own turn, she placed her order in a familiar manner. Her young part-timer also took orders naturally.

“Yes. It’s 7500 won.”

She gives Alba her credit card and finishes her checkout. However, as she held her card several times, the part-timer tilted her head and returned her card to Kim Seon-ha.

“I’m sorry, sir. Do you have another card?”
“Yes? Why?”
“The card says it’s suspended…”
“Yes? Stop?”

Seon-ha Kim, who found Alba’s words strange, stuck her head out and looked at her calculation screen. There, as the part-timer said, [ERROR: This card has been suspended.] Was displayed.

“…That’s strange. There’s no way it stopped.”

She muttered to Kim Seon-ha as if to listen, but she had some idea inside. This is because I delayed paying her card for two months after her living expenses were cut off.
But she spent years on the card and she stopped it because she was only 2 months behind. She resented her credit card company for her red flag.

“Then, please calculate with this.”

Kim Seon-ha put her credit card into her wallet and took out another card. This time, it was a check card linked to her bank account.
However, the payment was not made this time either.

“…Sorry, sir. Your balance is low.”
“Yes? Why?”

Even if I asked why, there was no way a simple part-timer would know. [ERROR: Insufficient balance.] Message appeared on the screen.

Not once, but twice.
It’s also a lack of balance. It meant that there was not even 7,500 won in the bank account.
It can’t be. Clearly, there should have been about 2 million won left in the bank account. There is no way that the money you put in the bank will suddenly disappear.

Kim Seon-ha felt her face heat up at her embarrassment. The other guests waiting behind seemed to be whispering to him.

“Sorry. Do you have another card or no cash?”

Coincidentally, that was all there was to the card. Today, there was no cash in Kim Seon-ha’s wallet.
Her young part-timer tried to respond as kindly as possible, but even that attitude upset Kim Seon-ha. The fact that the part-time worker in front of her was the same age as Goppiri, who was attached to her ex-husband, was also a factor that made her angry.

“What? Are you laughing now?”
“Yes…?”

At Kim Seon-ha’s sharp tone, her part-time job face hardened.
It was just a business smile that the part-timer laughed at, but in Kim Seon-ha’s nervous eyes, it looked like he was laughing at even that.

“You just laughed. Are you ignoring customers? Do you know how many years I’ve been in this store?”
“Hey, sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way… I’m sorry.”

Kim Seon-ha’s voice grew louder and louder. Albasaeng didn’t know what to do and apologized while lowering her head.
Other customers lined up behind them saw it and began to whisper.

‘Wow, great. Look at me telling the truth.’
‘There really are people like that. Let’s film a video.’

Some even pointed the camera towards Kim Seon-ha, sneaking up on her. Although she let Kim Seon-ha play her tantrums as she pleased, she also quickly realized that the current situation was not very favorable to her.

“Sorry, sir. Our staff has just started working. As an apology, we will not charge you for the menu you ordered.”

This time, the part-timer fell behind and the man who appeared to be the store manager responded. The part-timer who was struck by lightning in the dry sky stepped back and was wiping away tears.

“Oh, that’s all right. Please cancel the order because I don’t need it. I think this is the only cafe.”

Kim Seon-ha left her shop screaming loudly without bending her pride until the end.

Today, the air outside felt more suffocating. It felt like everyone around me was talking badly about me.

“…Let’s go home for now.”

Her body was weak. Right now, I just wanted to relax.
Thinking so, Seon-ha Kim tried to take her taxi, which was stopped by her shoulder, but she soon remembered that she had no money in her hands. Now she couldn’t even afford to pay for a taxi.

Kim Seon-ha nervously chewed her lips and searched through her bag.
As she diligently collected the coins that had been rolling around in her bag, she barely had enough money to ride the subway once.

She felt Kim Seon-ha’s stomach swell as she got on the subway. The subway, not her car or taxi. She felt like Kim Seon-ha’s own life grade had dropped several notches in an instant.

She took the subway for about an hour to shake. She was Kim Seon-ha and she was barely able to get home.

“Honey. Joo Won is the father.”

When she returned home, she called Seon-ha Kim for her husband, but the answer she expected did not come back.

In fact, she was in a cold war with her husband even before this incident. It was a problem that her living expenses stopped coming in, so she told her husband to do some work for her.
But even if she did, she never came to visit her while she was hospitalized. She said that this time she would not go overboard, and she firmly held on to Kim Seon-ha.

“…Mom?”
“Joo Won, who is your father?”
“I don’t have a father.”

Joo Won, his son, shook his head helplessly. For some reason, clothes and unorganized items were piled up here and there in the house. He had only been away for a week and it was a total mess.

“No? Where did you go?”
“I don’t know. She hasn’t been since I went to my mother’s hospital.”
“…No way.”

At the words of her young son, Kim Seon-ha’s heart passed with anxiety.
She hurriedly checks her account on her smartphone. Then, six days ago, there was a record that all of her money, which was about 2.2 million won, was withdrawn.

“…”

Her husband subtracted the money.
I don’t want to believe it, but I can only see that her husband took all the money and ran away.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with being called a husband, the two did not hold a ceremony or register their marriage. It was just a common-law marriage relationship where we had been dating for a long time, met after marriage, had children, and lived together even after divorce.

“…”

No matter how much it is said that it is only a common-law marriage relationship, the period of living together is 8 years, and he is also the son’s real father, and he has lived on the money he has earned (sent from his ex-husband, to be exact) until now, and he never dreamed that he would betray him. Did The shock was hard to describe in words.

“…Mom, I’m hungry.”

What did the young son, who had been without a mother and father for 6 days, eat so far?
However, Kim Seon-ha did not have time to think of such thoughts.

“Park Joo-won. I’m in her room. Mom, I’m not in the mood to cook for you right now.”
“Mom…”
“I told you to go in!”

After screaming, the frightened son entered the room.
Kim Seon-ha, who remained in her living room, walked around in her place, biting her nails.
It was difficult. She didn’t even have money to buy dinner tonight.

She had no choice but to contact Kim Seon-ha who could help her right away.

[Kim Seon-ha: Hello]
[Kim Seon-ha: Are you okay now?]
[Arms: Yes!]
[Force: Say it haha]

After this accident, she was the sole proponent of fundraising to help Kim Seon-ha and also the operator of a women-only website.
She respected her, calling her Joan of Arc and her godmother. She also said that she would contact her whenever she needed help, so she was less burdened with such sudden contact.

[Kim Seon-ha: Yes]
[Kim Seon-ha: How much money have you raised?]
[Force: Yep! We have now collected about 31 million won!]

31 million won! It was a lot more money than I thought.
If there was that much, it seemed that there would be no problem in living for a while.

[Kim Seon-ha: I’m sorry, Commander-in-Chief]
[Kim Seon-ha: It’s because I don’t have enough living expenses right now]
[Kim Seon-ha: Can you send me some donations?]

Kim Seon-ha asked with high expectations.
However, her reply was negative.

[Leader: Godmother]
[Forerunner: Sorry, but this is a donation]
[Leadership: It was collected under the pretext of payment for the lawsuit by Godmother]
[Foreignty: I can’t give you living expenses]
[Forearmy: I have to submit everything like usage and receipts]
[Kim Seon-ha: Ah… Yes…]

Kim Seon-ha was disappointed, but she couldn’t show off much.
Originally, this donation was a donation collected by women to fight against men, not to cover her own living expenses.

[Foreign Command: When will the godmother’s lawsuit begin?]
[Force: Can I know?]
[Kim Seon-ha: I don’t know yet]
[Kim Seon-ha: Then, can I receive donations only when the schedule is set?]
[Arms: Yes]
[Forearm: It may be uncomfortable, but we can’t help it either]
[Forearms: Because the country has set the law like that]

It was an annoying situation for Seonha Kim, but she couldn’t help it. She wouldn’t have even thought of collecting donations if it weren’t for them in the first place.
In addition, they said that if she collected donations in her name, she would have to pay 30% of the tax.

[Kim Seon-ha: Then, I will contact you again when the schedule is decided.]
[Forearm: Yes~ Go in haha]

After the conversation with the fundraising commander, Kim Seon-ha searched through her conversation list, feeling frustrated.
Is there anyone I can borrow some money from? If not, I had no choice but to take out a loan.

And Kim Seon-ha, who was looking through her friend’s window for a while, witnessed an unexpected picture of her.

“…What is this?”

A man smiles happily between two women under a tree in full bloom. It was a profile picture of her ex-husband, Kang Kyung-cheol.

“…What.”

Beyond being angry, Kim Seon-ha was so stunned that she couldn’t even speak.
If you look closely, one of the two women was the reins you saw then. As if they were lovers, he was clinging tightly to her side, arm in arm with Kyung-chul.

Another was a woman who looked mature. I don’t know who it is, but I could tell from the atmosphere in her photo that Kim Seon-ha and Kang Gyeong-cheol weren’t in an ordinary relationship.

Aww
Seonha Kim grinded her teeth. She is having such a hard time because of who she is right now, but the person concerned is playing with a woman. My teeth were trembling with shame.

She reluctantly pressed the call button, but of course the call was rejected.
Kim Seon-ha, in her frustration, called his lawyer, Kim Cheong-ki. Attorney Kim was the only person who could bridge the gap between her and Kyung-chul now.

[Yes. Kim Chung-gi.]
“Lawyer. It’s me.”
[Yes. Please speak.]
“When are you going to send child support? It’s hard to live right now because of that.”
[…I told you. When paternity is confirmed, everything will be sent.]

It was a conversation that lawyer Kim had already repeated several times since he became Kang Kyung-cheol’s exclusive manager. Even as a lawyer, Kim was getting tired of it.

“Lawyer. Please let me meet my brother just once. Just talking to him can solve everything.”

Attorney Kim wanted to take out what the hell was going on in this woman’s head. She seemed to be the only one who didn’t know that even if the world was destroyed, she was at an irreversible stage.

[It’s not possible. I even had an accident like this this time. And because of the accident, an application for a provisional injunction was also issued. If you approach unauthorizedly one more time, this time it won’t just end.]

Attorney Kim’s words made Kim Seon-ha sick of it. Now, the only way to solve it is to talk to him directly, so why are people who have no relationship so interfering?

Seonha Kim scratched her head hysterically. Her messy hairdo made her look like her madwoman.

“Lawyer. Then, if you confirm the paternity, you will send me money, right?”
[Yes. Of course. I will also send all the money owed so far.]

Yes. That was all I had to do now. She just needs to find out that her son is her ex-husband’s real son.
Then there will be no lawsuits, and her debts will be paid off by her ex-husband. The old elegant life is back.

The son, Joo Won, was most likely the son of his current husband. He’s like when he had children, and so is his facial features.
But that didn’t mean there wasn’t a chance that he was the son of an ex-husband. Because he had things to do with his ex too.

The only thing you have to do anyway is to end up drowning in the pit. Rather than that, it felt like a good move to bet on the gamble of a lifetime.
I hadn’t even dreamed of what would happen if I didn’t get the results I wanted even once in a while.

“Joo Won, let’s go to the hospital with mom.”

Kim Seon-ha smiled broadly and said to her son.
She was finally trying to untwist her thread.
