Chapter 62 – Family Affairs, Not Other People’s Business

“Where did you go?”

When Choi Ju-ri returned to her house, her husband, Park Cheol-gwan, was waiting for her.
It was creepy to see him sitting on the stairs going up to the second floor with the whole house dark.

The way he held the bottle in one hand and the fact that the bottle was half empty showed that he was drunk today.

“Where are you going? I came to work.”
“Day? Day?”

Park Cheol-gwan repeated the same words as if he was dumbfounded.

“I will give you another chance. Think carefully and answer. Are you really working now?”
“All right, of course. Then what am I…”

Kwajangchang!

Choi Ju-ri felt something heavy brush the side of her face and closed her eyes tightly.
It was clear what Park Cheol-gwan had thrown.
A bottle of wine in his hand.

A loud noise broke the silence and reverberated through the dark house.

“Because you are that shape, her daughter is not so out of line! I know what that bitch did yesterday!”
“Dain… What else did he do…?”
“Also? What kind of criminal are you treating our Dain? Huh?”

Park Cheol-gwan asked again, grabbing the horse’s tail.

“That’s not it… Just because you said something happened…”
“Fuck!”

Park Cheol-gwan got up from the stairs and walked towards Choi Ju-ri.

“Hey, honey…”

He grabbed Choi Ju-ri’s face.

“Look at me. Fuck you, do you know what I did to marry you? By the way, have you been dating other men?”
“Another man… What are you talking about, honey…”
“Hot!”

Park Cheol-gwan let out an absurd laugh.

And he swung his right hand wide.

Match!

I couldn’t get Choi Ju-ri back and had to sit down on her floor.

“Remember. If you meet another guy, I’ll throw both you and him into the sea. Do you think I can’t Thanks to whom are you proud to be the CEO? A beggar bitch! I was leaving him to be a beggar with Abby!”

Choi Ju-ri bit her molar while covering her swollen cheek.
Her talk of her father was her Achilles heel.
Under no circumstances was she mind-controlling, but it’s hard to do that about her father.
A father who raised himself alone without a mother.
It was because the love she received from him was so great.
So, at the last moment, it was difficult for her to refuse her request.
Words to save the GP, who was no different from his alter ego.

Park Cheol-gwan said, “Fuck! Fuck!” He walked around the living room, spitting out disgust, and pulled out another bottle of alcohol from the display case.
Choi Ju-ri made up her mind to spend a long night today.
She gets abused and abused all night long, and then…

Her tears flowed by themselves and dripped onto the floor.

Park Cheol-gwan, who was about to open a new bottle of alcohol, was stopped by his cell phone that suddenly rang.
“Who the fuck are you?” Receiving the call with a frown on his face, his expression widened like a lie.

“Hey, how are you? Minister. No~ It’s too late. You should contact us anytime. Haha! Yes? Now? Of course it does. I just had dinner with her wife. Isn’t it that we have a separate stomach for food and a boat for alcohol? Haha! You’re right! Go right away!”

After hanging up the phone, he contorted his face again and said, “Fuck!” He muttered.
I put the liquor I was about to open back into the display case.

Then he turned his head towards Choi Ju-ri and growled.

“I know you are lucky.”

Choi Ju-ri quickly stood up.
Fortunately, tonight was able to pass quietly.
Still, if Park Cheol-gwan’s drinking party ended quickly, he could come back and attack him.
In that sense, I won’t be able to sleep comfortably today.

She went into the dressing room and sat down in front of the dresser.
Her cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were torn and bleeding.

‘Who the hell did I meet?’

Park Cheol-gwan was the one who watched everything.
Therefore, even out of his sight, he did not dare to do anything carelessly.

She stared blankly at the mirror and suddenly remembered something else Park Cheol-gwan had said.
She said she knew what her daughter had done.

And I remembered what Seong-gyu Choi, whom I met today, said.
She said she had something to say about Dain.

Anxiety crept in.
I was used to Park Da-in having accidents.
However, it was rare for Park Cheol-gwan to show such a violent reaction.
He was as generous towards his daughter as he was towards himself.

Choi Ju-ri took out her cell phone after thinking about it.
She and she sent a message to Choi Seong-gyu with whom they exchanged numbers today.

– If it’s okay, would you like to have lunch together tomorrow?

Strangely, after sending him a message, I felt at ease.
Pounding, a heartbeat that even she herself could not understand spread from her heart to her whole heart.

Burr,

A minute or so that required patience passed, and a reply came from Seong-gyu Choi.

– Yes, I’m fine.
– Then we will meet at 12 o’clock. I’ll pick a place and call you back.
– All right.

Choi Ju-ri held her phone tightly to her chest.
The bright energy that I could feel from Shin Hye-yeon and Choi Seong-gyu.
Why is he not allowed to do those things?
All he could do was spend time with them and forget the hellish daily life.

Only after confirming that Park Cheol-gwan had left with the sound of a door coming from outside, Choi Ju-ri said, “Whoa.” And let out a trembling sigh.

‘I can’t believe there is such a coincidence.’

This life felt like things were progressing like water.
A sub-quest I executed during the ‘Combat Practice’ lecture became the reason, and the professor recommended me as a transfer student to Gaon Academy.
And the one I met there was Park Da-in.
Today Shin Hye-yeon took me to buy shoes at the GP shop, where she met Choi Ju-ri, the CEO.
She was Park Da-in’s mother.

At least, it seemed that he could meet all the curses of his previous life again if he carried out the quest step by step.
A system that obtains blessings by taking revenge on the person who created the curse.

Meeting Choi Ju-ri helped me in many ways.
It didn’t just stop in the sense that he had simply obtained an excuse to carry out the quest.
First of all, the equipment and sword she presented to me.
It was an object of value that could not be surpassed with my current economic power.

In addition, just getting to know the representative of the GP, which she will continue to win, was like having a great personal connection.
Unlike Gahee Kim, she would not ignore me or take her eyes off me.
The current favorability reached 70%, and as the quest progressed, the number would increase.

After sharing a goodnight message with Shin Hye-yeon, I sat down on the bed.
I didn’t feel very tired because I didn’t practice separately in the afternoon.
I drank, but I wasn’t intoxicated to this extent.

‘I’ll have to find out more.’

Looking back on my past with Park Da-in was never fun for me.
However, there is one fact that has not yet been confirmed.

Because there was one more character in the NTR I was hit with.
I couldn’t find any hints about it at all.
Perhaps, if you read the ‘Book of Memories’ more, you will come to know it naturally.

With that thought in mind, I was about to take out the Book of Memories, but my cell phone rang.
I looked into it and was stunned.
Because it was a message from Choi Ju-ri.

I didn’t expect that she would send me her message so quickly.

– If it’s okay, would you like to have lunch together tomorrow?

I sensed an unpleasant aura behind this message.
Of course, it wasn’t just a message sent to mean that we should just have a meal together.
This had to do with a conversation we had over dinner tonight.
I have something to tell you about Park Da-in, because she said that we should meet alone.

Even so, sending a message so quickly was still a bit odd.
She could guess that something was wrong with her.

I sent a reply

– Yes, I’m fine.

She then sent her message saying that she would pick up a place for her and let her know.

What I originally intended to do was read the ‘Book of Memories’.
However, I felt the need to read the ‘Book of Truth’ first.

I was worried about what state Choi Ju-ri was in now.

I took the book out of my inventory.

I asked what I wanted to know about the thick book floating in the air.

“Show me what just happened to Choi Ju-ri.”

Fluttering,

The bookshelf fell over with a heavy sound, revealing the information I was looking for.

“Hmm…”

The fact that Choi Ju-ri was suffering from her husband’s violence she knew from her information window, which she looked into while eating dinner.
But after hearing this specific anecdote, I felt even more somber.

If it hadn’t been entangled in quests, this would simply be someone else’s family affair.
It means that it is not at all an issue that I am interested in and involved in.

But for me now, everything is intertwined.
Park Da-in, Choi Ju-ri, and Park Da-in’s father, Park Cheol-gwan.

I asked another question without covering the ‘Book of Truth’ to find out what the story was.
