Maintaining a cheerful mood, she stepped into the patio with him and said, "That's it! What do you think about it?"
Bending her head slightly, she tried to check for the expression on his face. The blank on his face did disappoint her; after all, even if it would have been great, it wouldn't be like him if he showed a change of expression over this.
Since no one here dared to move or make a sound at his presence, Min Sihyeon could only take it upon herself to start this.
Picking up the party cracker from the table, she pressed on it, and as the sparkly contents from it flew towards him, she exclaimed, "Happy Birthday!"
The pieces of paper landed on his hair and shoulder. Luckily, he did not seem to be displeased by it as brushed off the remnants from his shoulder and head.
The fact that he wasn't angered was en
Once they were done with that capturing that photo, they moved on to blowing the candle and cutting a piece out of the cake.Quite reluctantly, Lee Hyunjin made a wish— which was quite debatable since he remained silent about that but Sihyeon wanted to believe he did— and blew out the candle.Only Lee Minjoon and she clapped their hands at that.It seemed that Han Minjae had enough senses to take photos in that moment. That was something she had quite appreciated although she doubted that was enough to make her forgive him.Raising one of her eyebrows, she waited for the man to cut through the cake.Even though she was ashamed to admit it, she really wanted to try out the cake in front of it.She believed that it was normal for her to feel this way. After all, it appeared to be quite delicious!"What are you
"Is it all done now?" Lee Hyunjin questioned.Staring at him incredulously, she shook her head and responded, "Of course not. What are you talking about? Everything just started right now."Taking the party cracker from her side, she pressed on it and watched as the pieces of colourful paper come out of it. Once again, they sprayed in front of him.The one that fell on him was brushed away by him, and his eyes warned her about doing that again. It seemed that he wasn't quite pleased by this, but what can be done when she felt like doing it over and over again.Grinning at him, she vocalised, "Now, it is the time for opening the presents. Are you excited about it?"His blank expression disolayed everything. There was no need for words in this case, and muttering about how he was a 'killjoy', she faced Yoon Jaemin.Smiling at the man, she then said, "Why don't
"Open it right now."Not only Lee Hyunjin, everyone held an anticipation towards the gift prepared by her. This was to be expected for she was the most enthusiastic one.This naturally set the bar for expectation toward her gift quite high.Everyone moved closer when Hyunjin was handed over the gift box. The gift wrapper was multi-coloured— blue, pink, green, and red.A large and fancy ribbon sat at the centre of the gift box. There seemed to be a sort of golden shine to the gift wrapper as well.Nevertheless, no matter how beautiful it was, the gift wrapper was torn apart by Lee Hyunjin, and for a second there, she believed that was a pity. If it was her, she wouldn't be able to bear tearing that apart.Or maybe not since she would be too curious about the present inside. Nevertheless, she would truly treasure the gift wrapper though for she had a hobb
Finally, Han Minjae and she was able to stop laughing. Maybe because of how he always wore a stoic expression, the photo left more of an impression on them.Wiping away the remnants of the tear from the corner of her eyes, she cleared her throat and put in her best effort to put on a stoic expression.Although it was tough for her to maintain it, she knew that Lee Hyunjin was going to slam that album down and destroy it if she did not.The anger was on his face was clear."I am sorry. I really did not plan to laugh this much! I just can't control myself. Sorry, really sorry. But don't you think that it is a special gift?" she voiced out, raising one of her eyebrows.In order to ease the atmosphere that was darkened due to Lee Hyunjin's intense glare, she smiled at him widely.Before Lee Hyunjin was able to respond to that, Han Minjae expressed, "I want to see
The more she watched him enjoy that cake, the jealousy within her rose. It was as if he was showing off to her on purpose, and aggravated, she made her way over to him.Although she wanted to have that cake badly, due to Lee Hyunjin's sharp eyes on her, she did not dare to get close to it.The desperation she had towards the cake made it worse.Han Minjae was having a fun time from her misery and walked in front of her while he ate that slice of cake. Right then, she knew that she would anything to remove that smug expression from his face.Taking a step closer to him, she took the man off guard when she slapped the plate from down. Because of how it was all of sudden, he wasn't able to control the plate.This resulted in the cake hitting against his face, and a gasp escaped from Sihyeon's mouth after that.Taking a step away from him, she vocalised, "Oops. T
During this period of time— after having it breakfast, lunch, and dinner— Min Sihyeon got to learn of the many different types of porridge.Although they might not taste the same, one thing she knew for sure was that she was tired of all of them. If she had to have it one more time, Sihyeon knew that she will be throwing up.Porridge was never a food that she had fancied, and now that she forced to eat it everyday, this was definitely a terrible torture!Lee Hyunjin was truly someone that shouldn't be messed with.Not being able to bear with it anymore, Min Sihyeon collapsed on the couch in her room and let out a loud sigh. There were no more energy in her limbs.She went to search for food at the kitchen, but as expected from Lee Hyunjin— who was truly a step ahead of her— there was nothing in the kitchen for her to actually eat.
Min Sihyeon, who had a grand attraction towards the amusement park, doubted that she would have left Lee Minjoon alone on those rides. Of course, the mature version of herself might have different thoughts.That would be understandable."Mom, you were sick," the boy answered after a couple of seconds of silence. "But you did say that you will be going over with me next time around."She let out a chuckle and stated, "Even now, I wish to go with you. Too bad that I don't know when it will be possible."Lee Minjoon's eyes widened slightly, and facing her abruptly, he questioned, "You want to go to the amusement park with me?"The surprise was genuinely visible in his eyes, and not wanting to think too much about it, she passed the thought to the back of her head.Then, letting out a chuckle, she nodded her head and responded, "Of course, I want to! I can just i
Feeling a tug of his sleeve, Lee Hyunjin raised one of his eyebrows as he stared down at Minjoon."What is it?" he questioned.Lee Minjoon stared at the ground and played with his fingers— a gesture done by him when he was nervous— before voicing out, "Dad, do you want to get on the rides with me?"Hyunjin just stared at his son silently for couple of seconds. Nervousness started to brew within Minjoon due to that, and Minjoon's gaze instantly went to Min Sihyeon.Following that, Hyunjin looked at Sihyeon. Not wanting to be in the middle of this, Sihyeon spun around and whistled a tune while she stared at the rid, pretending to not have a clue about."Dad," Minjoon enunciated.Hyunjin took in a deep breath and answered, "Fine."A wide grin instantly bloomed on the boy's face due to it, and he hugged on to his dad's leg t
This wasn't the first time she had seen the two of them in front of the gate in this week, and she had a feeling that this wasn't going to be the last time as well.Lee Hyunjin kept his words, and his mother wasn't allowed to enter into the mansion. Sihyeon particularly did not feel anything about it.His mother tried to send her messages and threaten her with everything she got. She even brought her parents into it, which infuriated her.But as Hyunjin dealt with that for her, she did not have to worry about that. Hyunjin told her to not make any decisions on her own as his mother was really dangerous at this moment.Sihyeon abided by those words of his.As much as she did not want to hide, it was not like that she was able to go violent on an elderly lady even if that woman were to start beating her up.With the disadvantages laying on her side, she knew th
A loud squeal left her mouth as she fell back on the bed, and she was able to feel her heart beat rapidly inside her chest.She had a hard time believing what had just happened, and the fact that she was able to muster her courage up to do something like that was considered to be a great achievement on her part.She did not think that she had it in her to do something like kissing him on the lips.Raising her hand, she placed them on her lips, and a giggle escaped from her mouth when she remembered how soft his lips were.The sensation was still there, and thinking about it was enough to get her cheeks to be red.She wasn't able to hold in the excitement within her while she rolled on the bed. Honestly, with the ways things have been going, she thought that it was going to be her who will be kissed by him.Who would have thought that the things would no
She had to admit that she felt a little shy when he held her like that, and her cheeks were starting to get red.Although the atmosphere in the room was getting solemn, she wasn't able to stop herself from feeling this way.Her heart was starting to beat rapidly inside her chest while nervousness started to build up within her."What's the matter? Did anything happen?" she questioned.She was well aware of how sore the muscles felt during fever, and she wondered whether or not he was fine with letting her sit on top of him like that."Just for a while. Please let me hug you like that."If someone were to tell her that she would be experiencing this side of his when she first met him, she wouldn't have believed that person for real.For a person like Lee Hyunjin to show this weak side of his to her showed how he trusted her, and for
Lee Minjoon was able to feel how high Hyunjin's temperature was right then, and a dramatic gasp escaped from his mouth.Then, he vocalised, "Father, you are burning up. Don't go to work today."Lee Hyunjin turned his head to face his son, and seeing how his son was worried about him caused the corner of his lips to curve upwards.He then said, "I will be fine."Even someone like Min Sihyeon who considered the man to be really reliable knew that he was being reckless right now and was firmly against the idea of him going outside at this state.Her eyes met with those of Minjoon, and as both of them had a clear idea of each other's intentions right now, this was enough to convey to the child what his mother wanted.Being good at this right now, he blinked his eyes multiple number of times, and tears started to form at the corner of his eyes. Hyunjin was surpris
Her line of sight fell on Lee Hyunjin who was seated on the ground, and beside him was a glass of wine. The wine spread through the ground.His closed eyes indicated how he had fallen asleep in that state, and a bottle of half empty wine was beside him. Anyone was able to guess how terrible state he was at.This raised concerns in Min Sihyeon's heart. Such an image of Lee Hyunjin wasn't something she had ever expected to encounter, and due to that, a gasp escaped from her mouth.Since the weather was cold these days, she was worried that he would be catching a cold and rushed towards him.The stench of wine was strong on him, and holding his shoulder, she tried to help him up while calling for his name, hoping that would be enough to wake the man up.His weight wasn't something she would be able to bear on her. Seeing how he stirred slightly gave hopes to her, and it seemed
A scream escaped from Min Sihyeon's mouth as she sat up on the bed. While sweat fell down her body, she had a sharp pain spreading through her forehead.The contents of the dream she had just now was very clear to her, and she recognized the individuals in her dream as her and Ryu Jisung.Both of them appeared to be quite in that dream of hers, and she wondered whether or not this was a memory that was triggered due to her meeting him earlier the day.Her heart started to beat rapidly inside her chest.Due to the noise created by her, the boy beside her had woken up, and he turned his head to face his mom.As he rubbed his eyes with his fist, he noticed how Min Sihyeon was shivering, and that was enough to get the small child to worry.Immediately extending his hand towards her, he placed it on his arm in order to comfort her.His chest a
Although it was for only a few seconds— he probably changed it fast in order to not get her suspicious— she was able to notice the panic in his eyes.Such an expression wasn't something she had seen on his face to an extreme amount, and she noticed how he had clenched his hand into a tight fist.Min Sihyeon did not know why, but she was able to feel the pain he was in. This made her feel slightly despondent.To her, it was lame how she was so easily affected by his change of emotions and wanted to make him smile brightly.But this was one of those things she couldn't help against. That's why, the only thing she did was sigh in her heart."Get up," he said.Nodding her head, she abided by his words and stood up straight. Then, scanning his expression, she tried to read what he was feeling right then.But because of how good he
"Did I say anything wrong?" Sihyeon asked, feigning innocence and pretending to be ignorant.Despite the front she had put on, she was quite enjoying the situation. Although she did not know how the things would turn out to be by the time she returned home, she should have fun as long as she could."What are both of doing at here?" he questioned.Pointing at Lee Chaeyeon, Sihyeon answered, "She called me at here. She threatened me so much that I had to come at here. You should have seen how frightened I was. This was too much for someone as fragile as me."Lee Chaeyeon looked at Sihyeon with disbelief due to the bullshit that had left her mouth. It was clearly obvious who was the scared one today, and Chaeyeon did not think her threat even caused Sihyeon to budge.Although that was quite humiliating for Chaeyeon to admit, that was the truth."Brother, don't t
"Omo! What do I do? I am really curious about what your brother might do to me," Sihyeon said.This was how Min Sihyeon was when she revealed her totally crazy side. It was foolish of her to think that Chaeyeon was cool back then. Chaeyeon was really pathetic.A stinging pain went through Chaeyeon's neck, and blood started to flow through her neck. As Chaeyeon was able to feel that, her eyes widened.There was no one who stepped forward to stop them. Everyone was too pressurized by the air in the cafe. Even if a murder was about to occur, they did not think that they had the courage to move forward.Her eyes held fear and body trembled while she looked at Min Sihyeon. Words wouldn't be able to express the satisfaction Sihyeon felt in that instant.It was as if her chest inside her chest was being able to breathe properly, and she felt really energetic. It had been a long time she
