Yura was able notice how the conversation between them was taking a strange turn, and she did not want the things to go in that direction. That’s why, she immediately changed the topic by asking, “I remember that I assigned you to a psychiatrist before leaving. How is it going with that? Are you properly attending all the sessions?” “I thought that you were asking Shin Jaesuk about it regularly,” he pointed out. “Well, I know that you did not miss sessions, but how do they feel to you? Don’t you feel better than before?” she voiced out. Although she had helped him out in the past a lot, it doesn’t change the fact that she wasn’t a professional in the field, and that’s why, she wanted to know how the man felt about it the entire time. Yesterday, she was so absorbed about telling him about what all she did that she had forgotten about the most important thing. “I don’t know. Even after all those sessions, I just felt the same. My feelings for you remained, and I just missed you mor
As Ryu Yejoon found themselves a place to have lunch, he stopped the car, and seeing that, she was about to remove her seatbelt to get down from the car. But before she was able to do that, he voiced out, “Stop.” Wondering what he was up to now, she raised one of her eyebrows, and the corner of his lips curved to form a smile. Moving closer to her, he stared at her in that way again as if he was trying to seduce her. As much as Yura wanted to remain unaffected, it is an undeniable fact that he was an attractive man. She was starting to think that maybe she did not look at him as a younger brother in the first place or else how did something like this cross her mind. She believed that Ryu Yejoon’s words had something to do with it. Since he said to try to stare at him in that way, now she found herself subconsciously trying to assess him with such thoughts in her mind. Words couldn’t explain how guilty she felt for having such thoughts, but since this can not be helped, she did no
“You wouldn’t be giving me false hope. Trust me on that,” he stated. His words caused her to raise one of her eyebrows, and she questioned, “What makes you so confident about it?” “That’s because I know the perfect way for making you fall in love with me.” With that, the man did not drag the matter further and opened the door beside him to get down from the car. Staring at his back, she could only shake her head, not knowing what to make of his enthusiasm. As she was about to open the door beside her after collecting her thoughts, it seemed that Yejoon was faster than her and already opened the door. He grinned at her widely. She decided to mention to him how this was unnecessary but then decided against it. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to change his mind. That’s why, she wanted him to carry on doing whatever he wanted. As long as it wasn’t too much, she did not have a problem playing along with him. Once he got bored with it or loses his interest in her, things between t
“You are not really taking me to meet those friends of yours? Seriously? I never thought that you would have this disobedient side to you. Didn’t you say that you will fulfill all of my wishes? Come on! I want to see those friends of yours,” she voiced out, staring at the man with hopeful eyes. Ryu Yejoon and Yura laid on his bed while the two of them watched a movie on the laptop. During this entire period, Yura was dying of curiosity of who his friends could actually be. But it seemed that the man was determined of being silent about it. Nonetheless, she wanted to keep this up with him and show him that she will be the winner at the end of it. “I am not agreeing to that,” he answered, shifting his eyes to the screen in front of him. “Why? Mirae mentioned that it was because of how I might accidentally fall for one of your friends since all of them are charming. But I am pretty sure that’s not the case. You are not that silly. Then why are you—” Before she was able to continue f
“I thought that you have lost all hopes, but it seems that you have started to groom yourself up,” Yura commented while assessing the man in front of her from top to bottom. Although he did not look as handsome as he did in the past, Lee Youngjae looked much better than the last time she had seen him. Gone was his beard, and he seemed to be dressed in much cleaner clothes. Even though she wasn’t fond of the cigarette in his hand, she could see that it was a great improvement. She knew that the man was up to no good these days and had an idea on how he was connected with the underworld. Right now, he was at a much dangerous state than the last time around— not that it mattered to her either way. She might feel a slight amount of grief if he passed away though. As she stood in front of the alleyway, she stared at the man. She had a clue that the situation might get dangerous for her since she was here all alone, and now that he was well, he might attack her. But she believed she wa
As Yura walked out of the car, Ryu Yejoon moved towards her and hugged her from the back. As his hands wrapped around her waist, she raised one of her eyebrows, waiting for his next set of actions. “Do you really have to go and meet him? You know that he is not a good guy and clearly dangerous,” Ryu Yejoon voiced out. This wasn’t the first time Yejoon tried to convince her out of trying to visit Youngjae, but what could she do if she wanted to check up on him every now and then? “I want to check up on him before he falls into any trouble and die,” Yura voiced out. Yejoon’s grip on her waist tightened, and he trailed off, “What do you mean? Are you planning to…” “What are you thinking? I am just curious. As a person who hurt me for so long, tried to keep me under control, I want to see how far he will go, how long will he be surviving for. Take this as a side effect of being too bored. And these days, he got involved into something dangerous and big. As someone pampered and spoile
Yura could see how his cheeks were slowly turning red due to her words, and because of that, she was starting to feel flustered as well. Throughout this entire time, she acted calm for his sake and thought of the best possible way for him. But all of a sudden today, she had the urge to let out all of the thoughts that went through her mind. That’s what she did right now. After doing so, she had to admit that she had felt better than before but did not want her emotions to be burdensome on the man. Although he had such feelings towards her, she wondered how long they will be lasting if she did not give a proper reply to them. After that, wouldn’t it be normal for him to find someone else and fall for that person? She did not want to see him in such way. She felt disturbed that she felt in such a way. At first, it was her who did not dare to accept him yet she had the audacity to act so selfishly. Even though she knew that he wouldn’t be angry from her words now, there was no sayi
As Yura was mixing the batter for the cake, the man walked over to her and wrapped his hand around her waist. Yejoon’s actions caused her halt her movements, and she turned her head to face him. One of her eyebrows was raised. He placed his head at the nape of her neck, which caused her to speak out, “Didn’t you say that you are going to maintain a distance from me? Then, why are you being this close to me?” “I thought I could, but I can’t do it anymore. You don’t know how much I want to hold you like this, not let you escape from my arms.” Yura believed that it was normal for her heart to flutter when she heard such words, and when her heart did so, she did not think too much about it. In this matter, overthinking might ruin what the two of them had between each other, and it was just better to go with the flow. One thing Yura knew that not every time did thinking way too much makes one reach into a perfect decision. Most of the times, overthinking just makes the situation much
Unable to catch a wink of sleep, Yura decided to visit the swimming pool. When she reached there, she saw that someone was already present there. On a closer observation, she learned it was Yejoon.Hearing the footsteps behind him, Yejoon turned his hand. Surprise flashed through his eyes for a second before a smile appeared on his face. Yura gave him a smile in return.She walked over to him and sat beside him, dipping her legs in the cold water. It felt refreshing."Why are you here?" he questioned."I probably slept a lot in the afternoon. What about you?" she said."Thinking," he mused before raising his head to stare at the sky. "On?" What could have needed him so think so deeply in the middle of the night."A lot of things," he answered furtively.This made her frown, wondering what the issue was since he hid from her. Nonetheless, understanding he had his boundaries, she didn't push it.Following his line of sight, she looked at the sky. The blanket of darkness had shiny, sm
The corner of her lips curved to form a smile as she received the call and brought the phone closer to her ear. Before she was able to greet, Mirae stated, “Wow! Did you see the picture!? I feel baffled right now. I thought that he was decent guy, but I am changing my mind right now. I know that you have only returned recently, but how could that man go and hug someone after claiming to love you for so long? I am telling you that he is the worst kind of man. You should slam the phone on his face and demand an answer from him. Men like him shouldn’t be trusted. You can’t imagine how infuriated I feel right now.” Yura knew that the only way Mirae was acting so angrily about it was because of how she hated Yejoon with passion at this point. But she did not point that out to the girl, knowing that Mirae would not be accepting that. “Is that so?” she voiced out, “I thought that you said to me you will not be helping me reject him, and you also complimented him greatly.” “I don’t know
Ever since that day, Yejoon’s friends started to contact her, and she had gotten a lot closer to them. A feeling within her told her that Yejoon knew about it all but did not interfere in the matter despite that. She couldn’t guess why he was all of a sudden alright with her getting to know his friends, but so far, she thought that it was because of how she mentioned that they were not of her type. Although Yura said that to calm him down back then, that did not mean that she was lying. They were the bunch she did not want to date. In all honesty, she did not want to go for someone who would attract a lot of attention. This wasn’t because of the past but due to the fact that she wanted to lead a peaceful life. Certainly Yejoon did not meet those criteria, but she knew that he wouldn’t do anything to cause her life to be in a turmoil. Moreover, he was the only person who would be allowed to make her life troublesome, and she couldn’t get angry at him for that. Yejoon’s friends wer
“Isn’t it a coincidence how we meet at the same place all the time?” Her words caused Youngjae to turn his head in her direction, and his eyes widened slightly. Her eyes then fell on how his thigh was injured and bleeding. She shook her head at him due to that. “That looks terrible,” she commented. Although he was struggling to stand up, she did not make her way over to him to help him. That was because of how she did not have the desire to do so. It’s not like seeing him in pain caused her to feel any kinds of emotions. She knew that he was going to be in this state sooner or later, so she wasn’t surprised to see him in this way. A groan escaped from his mouth due to the pain, and he collapsed. His face contorted due to the pain, and she shook her head at it. He reaped what he sowed. She gave him a chance to have a better life, but since this was what he chose to follow, who could he blame other than himself? “Shut up! I am in mood to entertain you right now. If you are not s
A solemn silence was present in the room after that, and even she was able to sense how the atmosphere of the room had change to a much serious one after those words had left her mouth. Nonetheless, she did not regret those words of hers. When it came to Ryu Yejoon, this was the most she could do. It’s not like she could judge them since his choices and hers differed a lot. Yoon Shihyuk was the first one to break the silence. Not knowing what to say to that, he awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and answered, “Yes, we will make sure of it.” Their friendship was something that couldn’t be described in words. Although they might not tell each other about their feelings or life, they still got together and played around. She grinned and voiced out, “Why don’t you guys continue eating? Just let me know if you need anything.” However, the peace in the café was immediately broken when the door to the place was pushed open, and a man walked in through it. “What do you think you three
“This should be the place, right?” Yoon Shihyuk asked while he removed his sunglasses. Beside him was two of this other friend— Lee Junghyun and Jung Yugyeom. The three of them showed interest in this place with their level of that varying. “I want to go in, but I am scared of Yejoon. The three of us will be dead for real if he gets to find out that we came here,” Lee Junghyun commented. The three of them stood in front of Yura’s café. Finding the location to this place was hard for them since Yejoon tried his best to hide it. After they bribed Jung Yugyeom, they finally got the information on this place. Junghyun and Shihyuk wanted to see this lady for a long time, and now given the opportunity, they did not want to miss it. “We die then. Who cares about that? Yejoon is out of Seoul, and this is our only chance to meet her,” Shihyuk bravely vocalized. It wasn’t as if he wasn’t scared; it was rather that he did not prefer to think of the consequences right now. That would be ruin
