Divorce : This is a Trivial Matter

CHAPTER 11: EXPOSED — DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PAY THE THE WATER AND ELECTRICITY BILL?

It just happened to be lunchtime. The students of Imperial Capital University were currently enjoying their carefree weekend.

A slender male figure rushed through the entrance, his appearance incongruous with his surroundings.
Jungkook had gone to the teaching and research building this morning and had just started to head downstairs. When he saw the time, he’d decided to head to the cafeteria and eat lunch first.

As soon as he turned to descend the stairs, he heard someone call out from behind him. “Jungkook!”

This voice was definitely not one that would be considered friendly; in fact, it could even be described as somewhat ferocious. Nevertheless, Jungkook still turned around—because the voice he’d heard was Haruto’s.

Haruto’s black hair was quite disheveled because of his intense sprinting. When he reached Jungkook, he hadn’t slowed down at all. Instead, he swung his fist toward Jungkook’s face. Followed by a rush of cold wind, his fist accurately slammed into Jungkook’s chin, causing him to stagger a couple of steps back. Jungkook licked his lips, feeling the pain radiating from the corner of his mouth.

Haruto towered above Jungkook, his fury not abated in the slightest after striking him. “Jungkook, you didn’t say a word when you married my older sister back then, and now you’ve chosen to remain silent yet again after divorcing her a year later. What are you to my older sister? Before she married you, you weren’t ever her boyfriend, yet she gave up studying abroad for you! Yet, you’ve treated her like this? Why?!”

His words dripped with rage, and he tightened his fist in preparation to punch Jungkook again.

“Haruto! Stop!” Lisa yelled, gasping for air, as she ran over to Haruto and yanked his hand back. “This place is a school! What are you doing?!”

Haruto gritted his teeth and shook off Lisa’s hand. Afterwards, he stood there motionlessly. Lisa then turned to look at Jungkook. The corner of his mouth had already begun to bruise, and a small trickle of blood had even formed. Lisa stepped forward and helped support him by the arm, slightly worried. “Curly, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Jungkook shook his head but didn’t try to remove Lisa’s hand.
Lisa pulled a tissue out of her bag and helped wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth. “Don’t you exercise quite often? You could have easily dodged a punch like that; why did you just stand there and let him him hit you?”

Jungkook replied, “He seemed to be extremely angry, so I figured doing it like this might make him feel a bit better.”

Lisa frowned. Haruto, that damned boy, hadn’t cared much about the outcome of his actions. Fortunately, there weren’t many people near the teaching and research building. Otherwise, who knew what any onlooking students would make of the situation? When Haruto saw her cautious movements, he could help but sneer. “He’s the one who divorced you, yet you’re still taking care of him? Why bother?”

Lisa turned her head and spared him a fake smile. “We divorced peacefully. As such, Jungkook has nothing to apologize to me for. Furthermore, Jungkook is a professor. Considering the fact that you struck him on campus grounds, the consequences of your actions won’t be very good.”
Haruto’s lips curved into a mocking smile. “I did so for the exact reason of allowing others to clearly see this scum’s true colors.”

Lisa became somewhat angry. “I said that we divorced peacefully.”
Haruto glanced at her with an agitated look. “I don’t feel like dealing with this matter of yours. You can return home and explain it to dad and mom yourself!”
