Yura was excited when she got the man to agree to this. To her, this felt like a great achievement, but she did not know how to spread this to everyone outside. Since both of them did not have any friends to gossip about it to and lacked a social circle, she doubted that anyone will be able to know about it. But she knew that it wouldn’t sit well with her if this matter remains unknown as one of her purpose was to create a drama over this. If Lee Youngjae and Min Jisoo did not know about it, the uses behind them dating would be reduced by a huge lot. As she had returned to the school, she thought that the students there will be torturing her, but when that did not happen, she was taken completely aback. Moreover, it appeared that Youngjae remained absent from the school throughout the entire week and did not mention to her about the break. This made her wonder about the reason behind. It wasn’t likely for him to not know about it or act silent. This just caused a negative feeling
About taking care of him, she had mixed opinions about it. That was because it wasn’t difficult since he complied with whatever she did and ate without creating a fuss. The problem laid in the fact that he couldn’t stop himself from glaring at her throughout this entire time, and she did not how to take that even now. Taking in a deep breath, she watched as the man had finally fallen asleep after closely watching every small actions of hers. A gentle smile formed on her face while she shook her head, and extending her hand towards him, she placed it on his forehead to feel his temperature. It appeared that it had gotten down by a lot. That was a relief to her. She wondered how the man would have dealt with it if she hadn’t been here. “He is truly a child,” she mumbled. With that, she stood up and decided to keep herself occupied with something else before he woke up. It was not like she would be able to leave. Who knows if he goes back to mistreating himself once she leaves? Th
As expected, it took a lot of convincing on her part to get the man to agree to come to the amusement park with her. The reason she brought him at here was because of the amazing ability the place had when it came to lifting her mood, and she believed that it would be able to do the same to him as well. But she had thought wrong about it. Throughout the entire time, she tried to hype the man beside her up and lead him to all the places. She even asked him about he wanted to go on next to which she hadn’t received a reply. Even after doing all of that, the tension was as thick as it was in the beginning, and faced with no other options, she could only sigh in her heart at how difficult it was. Seeing his deadpan expression while he walked towards the car caused her to raise one of her eyebrows, and she let out the question she had been holding in within her for a while. “Do you not like amusement parks?” she asked. Instead of ignoring her, he turned to face her and answered, “I l
At the arcade, both of them ended up spending more time than expected, and it was already the time for the place to close when they were leaving. Unlike the time in the amusement park, she could see the man enjoyed the time at here although the range of expressions on his face wasn’t as much as hers. As this was their first time visiting this place and playing such types of games, both of them got to learn from each other equally. She almost found it unfair how eventually he got to be better than her although she was the one with most enthusiasm. It was sad that the day had to come to an end, but she made the man promise for a next time. He didn’t show hesitancy towards it. While both of them walked out of the place, she turned her head to face the man and smiled at him widely before saying, “See, I told you that it will be fun. In the end, you were too reluctant to leave as well. I don’t even know why you had to be that dramatic in the beginning.” “It was alright,” he answered.
Yura did not know where to go to find Lee Youngjae since he did not bother with picking up the call or responding to her text. Feeling enraged, she decided to go for his house. Even if she had to search through the entire country, she will be finding that man. Since she was used to coming at here, the layout of the mansion was familiar to her, and no one stopped her. Spotting one of the servants, she approached her and questioned, “Where is Lee Youngjae?” It appeared that the servant was intimidated how she looked at that moment, but that wasn’t something she could be bothered to consider at this moment. “Young Master is in his room,” the servant timidly answered. With that, she decided to head towards his room, and knowing that it was situated in the second floor, she climbed up the stairs. She hurried her footsteps. Then, rushing over to his bedroom’s door, she slammed the door open, and the noise from that caused the man sitting upon the bed to stare at her. He lifted his ga
Letting go of the man in front of her, she took a couple of steps backwards, and frustration was visible in her tone while she voiced out, “Lee Youngjae, have you really lost your mind!? What makes you think that I will be willing to go through you after you have tortured me like this? At this moment, I don’t think that you even have or had any kinds of feelings for me. After all, you are able to hit me without any kind of hesitancy. Isn’t that enough to proof that you might have some other purpose for trying to have me? Or is it just your pride that is hurt and now you are doing this to protect it? Whatever game you are trying to play, stop it, Lee Youngjae. You might be having fun from it, but this is a matter of survival for me. You know very well how my status is at the family yet you’re pushing me to do this. Do you want me to give up on my life that badly?” Her words caused the man in front of her to widen his eyes, and extending his hand forward, he gripped on to her should
A groan escaped from Yura’s mouth while she sat at a bench inside the park. Although she said all those words about giving up her life in front on Lee Youngjae, in the end of the day, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to do so. She had no intentions of giving up her life; she did not think that anything would be able to drive her to do that. Nonetheless, she did not know whether or not that would work as an effective threat against the man. Should she even try to send pictures of her trying to commit suicide in order to get him convinced. Although it made her seem like a narcissist, she knew that Youngjae wouldn’t want her to die no matter what plans he had in his mind when it came to her. That’s why, she wanted to utilize this as best as she could. Thinking about how dire the situation was for her mother, she had a headache forming, and turning on the screen of her phone, her eyes fell on Ryu Yejoon’s name upon it. A part of her was tempted to call him and inform him about it.
Min Yura had no idea on why Mirae was sitting beside for an hour now. Due to this, the air around her felt quite awkward. Although she was able to communicate with Yejoon well, it did not imply that she was sociable, and that’s why, she did not know what to say to Mirae for a while. Even though she insisted on the fact that it was alright, Mirae argued that she could wait for her, and faced with such a situation, she did not know what to do anymore. She mentioned to Mirae that someone was coming to pick her up when there was no one actually, and this made her seem a little pathetic in her opinion. Han Mirae got her to exchange her numbers with her, and Yura was surprised by that since rarely anyone wanted to do that. No, actually, she never got the opportunity to do so due to Lee Youngjae. He used to be controlling over who she could contact or not, and back then, this did not bother her for she wasn’t searching for anyone to be friends with in the first place. One of her regret
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
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
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 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
