Chapter 128 Is love itself wrong?
You seem to like it a lot, why not continue following it?
Are you having too many worries about your career because of the group?
But that doesn't seem right. Ji-ryong mainly doesn't want to meet new people and doesn't have the energy to deal with interpersonal relationships. He's already been in contact with the other person for a while, and he's taken the most important step, so he's full of energy because of it.
Moreover, he could tell that he was quite willing to continue seeing this girl, and the girl didn't seem to reject him either.
Lee Soo-hyuk couldn't understand why Kwon Ji-yong wasn't continuing. Unable to figure it out, he asked, "Why didn't you go after him?"
"She has a husband."
Lee Soo-hyuk: "..."
Lee Soo-hyuk's eyes widened, and then he silently patted Kwon Ji-yong on the shoulder.
That's too painful.
A boyfriend, or even a fiancé, still leaves room for negotiation; they might break up. But a husband...
Well, we can't just wait to get a divorce.
After climbing Hallasan Mountain, Kwon Ji-yong stayed home and didn't go out again.
Every time he saw Anru Feng, he was heartbroken.
That day, Li Xiuhe planned to go shopping.
Li Xiuhe and his family live quite far from the city center, and he hasn't been shopping in a long time.
Although it's currently the off-season in Jeju Island, the resorts are even less crowded than the city center.
He planned to go shopping at the Mythical World Resort, where there was everything to eat, drink, and have fun.
On a whim, Lee Soo-hyuk asked Kwon Ji-yong to go shopping together.
Unexpectedly, Kwon Ji-yong, who hadn't been able to leave the house since their last hike, hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Mythical World Duty Free Shop, Chanel Store.
Lee Soo-hyuk stood in front of the mirror, trying on two different pairs of glasses.
Seeing that Lee Soo-hyuk had tried on both pairs of glasses several times without deciding which one to buy, Kwon Ji-yong rolled his eyes impatiently and said, "Buy them both."
Li Xiuhe rolled his eyes: "If I buy it and don't wear it, wouldn't that be a waste?"
Kwon Ji-yong ignored his continued obsession with the glasses and went to browse other areas of the store.
He tried on some rings and bracelets in the jewelry section and kept a few.
We've arrived at the ready-to-wear section again.
He looked at several items and finally kept a black tweed jacket.
Just as he was about to leave the area, he caught a glimpse of a dress with a simple design and clean lines, and without thinking, Kwon Ji-yong walked over and picked it up.
Lee Soo-hyuk had just finished arguing with her glasses and came over to find him. When she saw him holding a dress, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "What are you doing with that dress? You're not going to wear it, are you?"
Although he likes to wear women's clothing, it doesn't include skirts.
Kwon Ji-yong stared at the dress in his hand, momentarily stunned.
He only realized what he had done after he got it in his hands.
He didn't know why he picked up the dress; he just saw it and thought it suited him, so he instinctively took it.
But who is it suitable for?
Kwon Ji-yong put the clothes back where they were, then rolled his eyes at him: "Don't I have any female relatives or friends?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuhe glanced at the skirt, then his expression suddenly turned strange. He asked uncertainly, "Jilong, you wouldn't be thinking of giving it to that person, would you?"
"Who is it?" Kwon Ji-yong couldn't understand his sudden cryptic remark. Seeing his cryptic and uncoordinated manner, he couldn't help but say, "Just say what you want to say."
“The one I met while hiking last time.” Lee Soo-hyuk looked at the clothes and saw that they didn’t resemble Damien Na’s style, nor did they suit Ji-yong’s other female friends. However, they were very suitable for the person Ji-yong had fallen for during his trip to Jeju Island.
Upon hearing this, Kwon Ji-yong thought of An Yeo-feng and was momentarily stunned.
He suddenly realized that the skirt actually suited Ru Feng.
He glanced at the dress again; it really suited Ru Feng.
Unfortunately, he couldn't give it to her; it wasn't his turn.
What a pity, this dress would look so good on Ru Feng.
Seeing his expression, Li Xiuhe thought she had guessed his thoughts, so she pulled him away from the area to prevent him from actually buying it and giving it to An Rufeng, thus going down the wrong path.
Winter is approaching and the temperature is dropping. After finishing her painting at the hotel, Anru Feng wanted to go out shopping for some clothes.
She didn't bring many clothes, and even fewer for winter.
There was a duty-free shop next to the hotel where An Rufeng was staying, less than a ten-minute walk away, so she went directly to the duty-free shop next door.
Anjou had no specific destination and wandered aimlessly through the duty-free shop.
She unconsciously walked into a trendy boutique.
She was stunned as soon as she stepped into the store. Why would she enter a store that sells clothes of this style?
She was somewhat dazed... Did she like it?
It seems like someone likes it?
But who would like that?
She rarely buys clothes of this style.
Anru racked her brains trying to think of which friend would like it, but couldn't remember.
Now that everyone's inside, Anru Feng decided to take a look.
She walked slowly, looking at clothes as she went, and then stopped at a loose-fitting coat with a red and blue color blocking.
When Lee Soo-hyuk saw An Joo-feng enter the shop, he instinctively pulled Kwon Ji-yong to a place where An Joo-feng couldn't see him.
"How come she's here too?" Lee Soo-hyuk was surprised. He suddenly felt that Jeju Island was so small, and he had run into her again.
Kwon Ji-yong looked at An Yeo-bong from afar.
It's easy to run into her whenever you go out.
Is it a regret, or a destiny?
Quan Zhilong walked towards Anru Feng.
Li Xiuhe pulled him.
"I was just saying hello as a friend," Quan Zhilong said without replying.
Can't we be lovers, but not even friends?
Who says single people can't be friends with married people?
Thinking of this, Kwon Ji-yong felt relieved. He walked up to An Ru-feng and said with a smile, "Ru-feng, you're shopping too?"
An Rufeng was a little surprised to see Kwon Ji-yong, but only for a moment. They always bumped into each other by chance, so she was used to it.
Jeju Island is rather small, and there are only so many leisure, entertainment, and shopping attractions.
“This is my friend Lee Soo-hyuk,” Kwon Ji-yong introduced An Yeo-poong and Lee Soo-hyuk to each other after they greeted each other. “This is An Yeo-poong, a friend I met in Jeju Island.”
Kwon Ji-yong said he was just greeting him as a friend, and Lee Soo-hyuk thought he was a sensible person, so she believed him.
An Rufeng was a friend of Kwon Ji-yong, and Lee Soo-hyuk greeted her with a smile: "Hello, An Rufeng-xi."
An Rufeng still had some impression of Li Xiuhe; it seemed that he and Quan Zhilong were together during the Hallasan incident.
She nodded to Li Xiuhe and smiled politely, saying, "Hello, Mr. Li."
Seeing her being so polite, Li Xiuhe said, "An Rufeng, just call me by my name."
Upon hearing this, An Rufeng hesitated for a moment, then swallowed back the words "Mr. Li" and addressed him by his name instead: "Okay, Mr. Li Xiuhe."
"Is Ru Feng alone? Do you want to go shopping together?" Quan Zhilong asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Lee Soo-hyuk couldn't help but wonder if Ji-yong was really just saying hello as a friend.
“Sure.” An Rufeng glanced at Li Xiuhe, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
Kwon Ji-yong was overjoyed to see her agree.
He glanced at the clothes she had just been looking at—a very nice coat. If he had seen it earlier, he probably would have bought it. He smiled and asked, "Ru Feng, are you interested in this coat?"
An Rufeng shook her head. She looked at him, then at the clothes, and suddenly said, "I think this coat suits you quite well."
She had only stopped here to look around subconsciously; she didn't intend to buy the dress.
Seeing Kwon Ji-yong now, I feel that this color-blocked oversized coat suits him quite well.
Aside from their first meeting when he was dressed entirely in black, every time she saw him, his outfits were relaxed and playful.
Most of his clothes are oversized, covering his entire body, making him look warm and casual. Each outfit features a bright and vibrant color, sometimes a sweatshirt or hoodie with cartoon patterns or colorful graffiti, sometimes bright socks, and sometimes a small, brightly colored bag that looks like a child's toy.
In short, even when his outfit is all dark, the bright colors he adds are just right to break the monotony.
"Really?" Kwon Ji-yong asked in surprise, then smiled. She had a good eye for fashion. "Do you think I'd look good in this?"
“Of course it will look good.” Anru Feng nodded affirmatively.
"Then I have to buy it."
Upon hearing this, Lee Soo-hyuk became even more skeptical of Kwon Ji-yong's reasons.
An Rufeng laughed upon hearing this: "You're very confident in your ability to handle it, aren't you going to give it a try?"
"Ani, I trust your judgment. It will definitely suit me." If you think it looks good, then you like it, and if you like it, then it suits you.
I finally tried it out to see if the size was right.
"It looks great."
An Rufeng glanced at him and praised him. She noticed that the lines of his clothes were slightly crooked at the shoulders and subconsciously wanted to step forward to straighten them for him.
Realizing what she was about to do, An Rufeng immediately stopped herself.
"It really suits me." Kwon Ji-yong was very satisfied after hearing her say it looked good and looking at himself in the mirror.
The group strolled around for a while longer. An Rufeng spotted a pair of thick-rimmed black glasses, pointed at them, and turned to Quan Zhilong with a smile, saying, "Would you like to try these on?"
The shelves were quite crowded, and Kwon Ji-yong used the back of his hand to shield her back to prevent her from bumping into the shelves.
He picked up the glasses Anrufeng pointed to and put them on: "How is it?"
An Rufeng covered her mouth and chuckled: "Very good."
He looks artistic and somewhat cute in those thick-rimmed black glasses.
To be precise, it's not cute, but rather "adorable".
It's amazing how he can harmoniously embody both the seemingly contrasting qualities of being artistic and "cute."
Kwon Ji-yong looked in the mirror, revealing his white teeth, and seemed satisfied.
After browsing the boutique for a while, Kwon Ji-yong and Lee Soo-hyuk took a liking to a few items, while An Joo-feng didn't find anything she liked and left empty-handed.
After leaving the boutique, the group had no specific destination in mind; they simply wandered around, going in to check out anything that caught their eye.
Anru bought many clothes at a minimalist brand store.
At this moment, Anru Feng was putting on an outfit and checking the effect in front of the mirror.
She was dressed in gray, and although it was a single color, it looked very layered because the brightness and saturation of gray varied.
Kwon Ji-yong felt that Anjou-style gray layering was very similar to Mondrian's geometric abstract paintings, with a strong sense of structure.
Mondrian's art style is pure abstraction. He uses the most basic elements, such as abstract geometric shapes and pure colors, to find a "universal beauty" and express the universal laws of harmony and balance.
Mondrian's paintings used only the three most basic colors: red, yellow, and blue. In addition to these three primary colors, he only used black, white, and gray.
"Do you need this?" Kwon Ji-yong brought out hats in red, yellow, and blue.
Anru Feng needed this; she wanted this outfit to give off a similar vibe to the Schroeder Residence.
An Rufeng tried on hats in front of the mirror. All the hats that Quan Zhilong picked out were very nice, and she hesitated in front of the mirror, not knowing which one to choose.
Kwon Ji-yong gently took the hat she had taken off, smiled and handed her another hat she was hesitating over, saying, "You can try it on again, take your time."
After browsing the store and carefully selecting a few scarves, Lee Soo-hyuk wanted to roll her eyes at Kwon Ji-yong when she heard his words.
Anjou finally chose a Klein blue beret.
She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully, and was very satisfied.
Kwon Ji-yong looked at it carefully and thought it looked great—simple, harmonious, and bright.
The visual impression is very similar to the Schröder House, a classic example of De Stijl architecture influenced by Mondrian.
As Anru Feng walked out of this minimalist brand store, she saw a Chanel store and instinctively wanted to go in and take a look.
She paused slightly before entering Chanel.
A few moments of confusion and bewilderment flashed through my mind.
As she walked toward Chanel, she was thinking about seeing what was suitable.
Who would be a good match?
She has never bought Chanel since her mother passed away.
The people who needed and were suitable for Chanel are no longer here. Who will she buy from now?
Since we're just shopping, there's no harm in looking around.
The staff at the Chanel store were somewhat surprised to see Kwon Ji-yong and Lee Soo-hyuk return with a beautiful woman by their side.
Judging from their positions, it was easy to see that the group was led by the extra woman. Although she was curious about the relationship between the group, she didn't show it on her face.
Anru Feng browsed the cosmetics section and picked up a few lipsticks. Although she felt that there probably wouldn't be any she liked, she still went to the ready-to-wear section.
An Rufeng looked around, her gaze suddenly drawn to a piece of clothing, and she walked over and picked it up.
Lee Soo-hyuk looked somewhat surprised when he saw An Joo-bong pick up the dress that Kwon Ji-yong had looked at earlier.
They know each other quite well.
The coat and glasses that Anru Fengxi picked out for Jilong before looked great on him when he tried them on. The dress that Jilong liked was exactly what Anru Fengxi would like.
Seeing this, Kwon Ji-yong smiled and followed, saying to An Ru-feng, "I think this dress suits you quite well."
“I think so too.” An Rufeng smiled as she took off the clothes; the cut, color, and fabric were all to her liking.
Anrufeng tried it out, and the effect and size were both good.
Kwon Ji-yong looked at An Ru-feng in the mirror, and sure enough, the dress looked really good on her.
Anru bought it.
"Shall we go eat?" After shopping at Chanel, An Rufeng looked at her watch; it was getting late.
Kwon Ji-yong and Lee Soo-hyuk had no objections.
The group then chose a restaurant at the resort.
On the way to dinner, Kwon Ji-yong glanced at the daisy watch on An Yeo-feng's wrist and pursed his lips.
What? It's been almost a day! He left his wife alone on the trip without even calling her! Why did Ru Feng have to marry someone like that?!
How could someone as good as Ru Feng be worthy of someone who doesn't even offer a little care?
How could Ru Feng have fallen for him?
He glanced again at the daisy watch on her wrist and found it irritating.
Kwon Ji-yong plans to give An Yeo-feng a pair of daisy-themed shoes that he co-branded with Nike.
Next time you see a daisy with a missing petal, remember him.
Once his daisy shoes are officially released, I think a lot of people will pay attention to them.
kk, maybe when people see Ru Feng wearing the daisy watch, the first thing they'll ask is, "Do you like GD?" instead of her husband.
My thoughts are becoming increasingly scattered.
Kwon Ji-yong was shocked by his own thoughts. "Are you crazy? How could you think like that!"
Ru Feng treats me as a friend, but I have inappropriate thoughts about her. How could I do this?
But I really like Ru Feng.
Why didn't he meet her first?
No, I can't think about it anymore.
Can't I even think about it? He didn't hurt anyone!
Is love itself wrong?
As long as Ru Feng falls in love with him willingly, she'll be happy, right? And she won't get hurt, will she?
Would that hurt her husband?
He has hurt so many people, one more won't make a difference!
Oh dear, he shouldn't have done that.
Why can't he do that? Is he out of his mind? Oh well, never mind!
Kwon Ji-yong remained silent the entire way, his mind in turmoil, constantly teetering on the edge of morality.
During the meal, Kwon Ji-yong was frequently "attracted" by the watch on An Yeo-poong's wrist, which disturbed his thoughts.
After looking at her for a while, he suddenly noticed a faint scar on the willow twig tattoo that her watch often covered. It was hidden by the tattoo and not easily noticeable unless you looked closely.
This location.
Kwon Ji-yong felt a pang in his heart, and a look of heartache flashed in his eyes.
His troubled thoughts suddenly calmed down completely.
She said that she and her husband had a very good relationship.
He shouldn't cause her any more trouble.
They had a great time in the mythical world that day and didn't part ways until very late.
After returning home, Kwon Ji-yong didn't sleep all night.
The next day, when it was fully light, he sent a message to An Rufeng.
In the afternoon, Kwon Ji-yong flew back to Seoul.
This relieved Li Xiuhe, who was secretly thinking about what he should do if he still had feelings for An Rufeng.
An Rufeng looked at the message from Kwon Ji-yong saying that he was leaving Jeju Island to go back to Seoul to work, and felt a little lost for some reason.
My new friends have left, and now I'm all alone. Why does Jeju Island suddenly feel a bit boring?
She came to Jeju Island alone because she didn't want to socialize frequently or make new friends.
After Kwon Ji-yong returned to Seoul, he lost contact with An Joo-pung.
An Rufeng sent him a message, but he didn't open it.
When I first learned she had a husband, she said she wouldn't reply to messages, but actually Kwon Ji-yong would reply with a sentence or two from time to time, though brief. Later, when she was conflicted, she would reply to messages, and there was always room for reconciliation.
Kwon Ji-yong is now completely determined not to contact them again.
He dared not contact her, afraid that he might do something he couldn't help but do, and afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Aside from being busy with his collaboration with Nike, Kwon Ji-yong's life is a complete mess.
The thought that he and she would never cross paths again, and that she was someone else's wife, broke Kwon Ji-yong's heart.
Quan Zhilong thought that by staying away from her, not seeing her, and not contacting her, he would slowly forget An Rufeng, but her image often appeared in his mind, clearly visible.
He felt as if his soul had been ripped out, leaving only his physical body alive.
Even so, Kwon Ji-yong didn't send An Yeo-feng a single message, nor did he read her messages.
After the official release of his collaboration shoes with Nike, Kwon Ji-yong stopped going out.
Seeing that he was heartbroken and had locked himself in his house for a long time, Li Xiuhe couldn't help but take him out for a hearty drink.
That day, they drank a lot of alcohol. When Kwon Ji-yong returned home, he slept soundly and had a dream.
A long dream about him and Anjou Feng.
Japan, South Korea, Egypt, Africa, the United States, China, Italy, France... Tahiti.
It can't really be called a dream.
Those were all real historical events.
The next day, Kwon Ji-yong woke up with his previous gloom gone and his mood was happier than ever before. Even the pain of a hangover couldn't hide the ease in his eyes and brows.
