Then you should have just stayed away!’ Geun Suk’s voice boomed throughout the room. The two men glowered at each other for a while before Geun Suk took one step back, breathing heavily. ‘If you knew all that then you should have left her alone from the start. That’s what I did.’
Min Ho could feel anger enveloping his body. How dare he tell me what to do? He has no idea what I’m going through!
‘Do you know why I thought you deserved her?’ Geun Suk asked, his tone tempered. ‘Because you took the courage that I was never able to.’
Geun Suk ran a hand through his hair and looked away.
‘I’ll admit it. When I saw you with her, I was jealous,’ Geun Suk continued. ‘Not because I still have feelings for her, but because you were the man I couldn’t be. I never confessed to her because I was never sure if I loved her more than I loved my career. If I couldn’t even make up my mind about that, then I didn’t have the right to tell her how I felt.’ He paused, meeting Min Ho’s eyes. ‘So even if I was jealous, I was happy for her. Because you’re the better man.’
Geun Suk’s yielding gaze turned contemptuous in a second. ‘But it turns out, you’re even worse than me, Lee Min Ho. At least I had the decency to admit that I couldn’t be the one to make her happy. I didn’t lead her on, nor did I make any promises I couldn’t keep.’
Geun Suk’s words pierced through Min Ho like sharp knives. Min Ho staggered back and clutched his chest, pounding it a few times, in a futile attempt to make the pain go away. He bit his lip and sank on the couch. ‘Do you think it doesn’t hurt? I’m a wreck. I hate myself more than you hate me. But I couldn’t do anything about it.’ I'm so exhausted.
Min Ho looked up at Geun Suk. ‘What do you want me to do then? Tell me!’ He paused. ‘Tell me because I have no idea! I love her, but I couldn’t be with her. Not like this.’ He shook his head remorsefully.
Geun Suk continued to glare at him, his eyes showing no pity or compassion. ‘You’ve made your choice. There’s nothing left to do but stay away,’ Geun Suk told him firmly. ‘From now on, stay away from her. Until she gets over you.’
Min Ho’s jaw tightened. He knew Geun Suk was right, but hearing him say those words only filled him with rage. He balled his fists, trying to contain himself, and stood up to walk to the door.
‘Lee Min Ho,’ Geun Suk called out as soon as Min Ho reached for the doorknob. He stopped without turning around to confront him. He wasn’t sure he could keep it together if he sees Geun Suk’s face again.
‘I mean it,’ he heard Geun Suk say. ‘Don’t hurt Shin Hye any more than you already have.’
