"That's right?!" Effie exclaimed. "Who was that hot senior who just let you both seem very familiar with each other. Cara had even let him be with you all by himself."
Jae Hwa avoided Effie's gaze. Even at this moment, Effie couldn't hide her passion for handsome men and has become inquisitive.
What should she give as an answer now?
“A concerned guest.” Jae Hwa answered, trying to be as casual as possible, “He felt guilty about the incident and decided to make my recovery a top priority of his, not leaving till he apologises in a direct dialogue."
That, of course, was only half the truth. She couldn't afford to let them know the person she was supposed to wait on, was actually her billionaire uncle who had tried getting her off the show.
That would only bring more questions which would ultimately reveal her family background she tried so hard to be set apart fro
"The hell!" Someone yelled from shock opening the doors of the bathroom Jae Hwa was currently bathing in.The person grabbed her from the bathroom floors before turning off the incredibly hot bath.Grabbing a towel she was wrapped immediately before being carried to the sitting room, gently placed on the couch."Wake up Jae Hwa!" A shrill voice rang in panic, shaking her violently."Please!"After some seconds, Jae Hwa jolted awake from all the noise. Her eyes were red and stung badly as she regained consciousness"Oh, Thank God!"When her eyes regained focus, the first thing that came into view was Hae Jin worried face, searching hers anxiously."How are you feeling? Does it hurt any where? Do you have a concussion from falling? If you knew you weren't fine why didn't you say so, huh? Ugh, what I'm I doing right now,
"I want to talk. That's the least I can do after you saved me from my bathroom fit. It isn't right to leave you in the dark about this." She added in a serious note."So, come sit." She tapped on the space beside her. Hae Jin walked over and sat on the other end of the couch, to her command.Jea Hwa wondered why he had done that but didn't purse the topic."Forgive me for being vague on most parts of this, there a minute details I do not wish to share, like why and how I got myself in such situation. If you ever know of it, I'm afraid you wouldn't look at me in the same way again... At least in in a positive light." She added a note of warning as she twiddled her fingers nervously.Hae Jin had wanted to assure her that there nothing she would say that could ever change his views about her but decided against it seeing her resolute expression."I wasn't lying when i said nothing h
"Who had taken the golden opportunity to prey on a weak little girl who hadn't known any better. And as karma has it they will all serve their due punishments ten folds over!"!!!Jae Hwa stared at Hae Jin in a daze, he looked really handsome when he was determined. She pursed her lips, letting out a thin smile, "I know. It doesn't bother me as much anymore, today was an exception."She exhaled heavily, and immediately felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Was this the effect of venting out all that had been on her mind? If it was, it felt really good, she should do this more often… her face darkened a bit… but to the right people."If you need anything," He breathed, more relaxed from seeing Jae Hwa in a better mood, "I'm right here.""Hmm, should you be saying that to your rival." She said putting on an air of seriousness."I&
Two figures silently slipped out of a room threading the hallway like fugitives,, as they miraculously escaped the security man on duty eagle eyes, giggling their way into the kitchen.As soon as they got in, Jae Hwa noticed a well placed camera and panicked. Just between two rarely used switchesWhen she saw the inscription "KME'' on it she quickly became calm. The hotel's management and KME were two different entities, while the latter's job was to film the housemates' lives for the next few months, they couldn't interfere too much on the behavioural patterns of the contestants since they weren't in the mansion and would not even if they could.Since it strives towards better unfiltered tv, why would they ruin it?"What's up?" Hea Jin asked, noticing her changing expression."Nothing!" She strode to the walk-in freezer which had caught her attention due to how large it was.
Mentally calculating the time she had left, she proceeded to cut up already peeled, washed and seeded onion and bell peppers.Sanp! Zilch!The knife on the board made a steady, soothing sound perfect for an ASMR, peculiarly cutting through the vegetables into cubes of roughly similar sizes.Crash!Jae Hwa instinctively spun around to meet a pitiful figure."The hell Hae Jin!"Stiff from Jae Hwa's whispering yell, which he didn't phantom how she managed to articulate, Hae Jin stood in place holding the doors of the upper cupboards on the wall with difficulty. Anything that could make a huge metallic noise if it came in contact with the ground from that distance was in there, he couldn't spare time to look at Jae Hwa lest his attention would be divided.Quickly, Jae Hwa turned off the heat and took a fairly long wooden spoon from the counte
"This… really…!!!!!!!""Let go." She raised up a spoon, brandishing it before Hae Jin's eyes."Alright, alright!" He hopped off immediately, "You really wanted to use that on me? So ruthless!""I don't joke with my meals." She eyed him, keeping her weapon close."But I want to help…" He buzzed like an annoying fly, but made sure to be out of Jae Hwa's lethal reach."You won't let me be if I don't give in would you." She turned uncomfortable from Hae Jin keeping a close watch on her from the back.He nodded fervently."Alright! There are multiple burners, grab a pot and cook the chicken, I need it tender." She smiled, this could make the process faster.Hae Jin's eyes widened at her request, he hadn't expected her to give him such a job so quickly."Sure." With a deep bre
"Alright, if you want to cook so much why don't I teach you how to make this recipe? It will be between us, okay?" She smiled showing a full set of teeth, very appreciative of his thoughtfulness. Moving quickly, she had an apron over him in an instant, "Don't be a drag, let's get cooking, we've wasted enough time." "S...sure." Hea Jin quickly replied, breaking away from the daze he had himself in from her bright smile. Taking heed from her first remarks on his mistakes, Hae Jin moved to wash his hands first before joining Jaw Hwa waiting for directions. "This Is powdered ginger, thyme, garlic…" She brushed up Hae Jin on the names of the set up spices. "This has been pre measured by me and is only a tablespoon, any more would taste too strong in the chicken stock." "Looks like sometimes less is more." Hae Jin said thoughtfully.
"She actually dared kiss me." He was feeling really giddy at this moment.Suddenly his face turned dark, as his eyes flashed with remorse and regret."I really didn't wish for this to get this far." He soliloquised bitterly."She would be terribly hurt and angry with me if she finds out." He added vaguely.Soon after that, he turned and decisively walked away from her door, "I should avoid her not to avoid hurting her."Alas, he couldn't carry on with his main mission!On the other side of the door stood Jae Hwa, beating herself up over her own actions.
Hae Jin placed his hands over Jae Hwa's eyes, successfully blocking her vision."Why…?" She questioned, startled.A musky voice replied, "That kind of thing is not worthy enough to be gazed on by you."Jae Gwa was speechless, even after accompanying Hae Jin for a long time he still manage to stun her with his boldness from time to time. Was he trying to tease her?"And is yours worthy?" She blurted her thoughts without thinking, regretting it immediately.Hea Jin smirked, wondering what sort of question was that. However he didn't fail to give a reply, "Of course it is.""Uhmm ..guys" Jay threw his arms over the tow talkative shoulders, "I'm still here."Jay smiled in satisfaction feeling them get rock 'medusaed' by his words. It was their punishment for totally forgetting he was close by and feeding his ears with their unusual con

"That." She said pointing into the crowd.Hae Jin and Jay trailed their eyes down to the direction she was pointing.Jay facepalmed himself,his tone filled with dissaproval "Yuna?Jae Hwa rasied an eyebrow to his question, "Is there anything wrong?"Hae Jin shook his head, "Is it because she one the last challenge, you considered to vote her out as someone who gives the most competitor?""I'd suggest voting Luna out, she is much more formidable. Although quiet, she sees like a person who can easily give others a hard time during a challenge in the near future."Jae Hwa set her glass down to explain, "That's right, she does seem to have that aura around her. However, I might still be voting Yuna out she is smarter than most of you here, that's a strenght I wouldn't want around me." She said truthfully.Smiling slyly Jae Hwa added, "I reall

Tick Tock.The clock sang away each tick increasing Evelyn's anxiety. She sat at the dining table a bit dizzy, as she struggled to keep her eyes open.It's been hours since she finished preparing dinner. While waiting for Nathan's return, Evelyn hadn't taken a single bite from what she cooked, fantasizing the thought of eating together with him.However, it has gotten too late into the night that she had to reheat the meal in the oven twice, wondering what was taking Nathan so long. He had only returned just that morning, working overtime like this wasn't a good idea.She once thought of phoning the Wither's family company which she was sure that Nathan would be in, but decided against it. It was already this late i
2150 words each"I might just have a thing for glazed turkey!" Luna said excitedly."What? Your father died in Kentucky? Sorry got your loss." Liam replied straining his ears.The sound of a lively party mix saturated the hotel that had been closed down to host the KME elimination ceremony, making it impossible for Liam to hear anything correctly."No, that's not it." Luna corrected leaning close you yell the words into his ears."If you guys want to have a proper conversation, could you consider not doing it in front of the sound speaker? Some of us just want to listen to some good music." Hoseok groused, unable to tolerate the duo's delinquent actions any
Her hold on Jae Hwa became tighter as her tone leaned on anger, "Tch! I think someone just started a very dangerous game."With a smile, Jae Hwa gradually pulled her hand out of Effie's hold, 'Could she have made her intentions any more obvious?' She thought."I know." She simply said.Of course, she knew what had really happened back then, how would she not know? She was the victim after all, after going through such an experience one would take time to think, reminiscing the event over and over in their minds, at some point they were bound to have some kind of clearance on some things.Jae Hwa sighed. Just now, the 'concerned' Effie had tried to use that fact to incite anger in Jae Hwa against Nari, generally urgi
SERENE POTTERY PAINT AND SIPSeveral moulds of clay pots were scattered around the place in an aesthetical fashion. This air smelled of paint, clay and art.At the corner, Jae Hwa is seen struggling to complete a piece but ends up running the paint everywhere, her clothing included.She tried to salvage the situation but it only got worse."Stop, just stop, you are triggering me." Effie took the tools off Jea Hwa's hands, as she couldn't stand watching such abomination any longer."How did you manage to get everywhere, so messy?!" She added taking a good look at the environment."Haha, painting surely isn't for me" Jae Hwa laughed, taking off her art smock."Ya' think?"Jae Hwa looked over at Effie's piece, "Wow, this is so pretty. You do have a knack for art don't you?""It's a hobby," Effi
"Everyone gather around it's time to read out the good news both on rating and the winning price!"As these words were announced, Cara and Bitna appeared in the hall followed by some crew members, unsmiling."In terms of customer service, this organisation's rating has risen by one and a half stars. A lot more progress than what was originally planned!" Jun Suh me said in his usual clear jovial tone, which could make one tingle all over.Hearing the good news both the employees and KME housemates applauded feeling giddy from the change. This kind of improvement was brought up by a seven day challenge. It's surprising how customers can be generous when they are satisfied.Although the hotel was only a three poi
