Jadeite’s Hotel.Ae Ra’s POV.We greeted some senior executives and selected investors. Now and then, ladies would sneer at me and whisper to themselves. Some would laugh and others would look away in disgust. The more time I spent by CEO Jung’s side the louder the whispers got, even now women seemed to look at me funny.“You remember what I said in the car right?” He whispered into my ear. “Of course I do.” How could I forget? How could anyone forget? “Well you’re barely smiling, if anything, the grimace on your lips would scare people off.” He said softly.I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, he was staring straight ahead with a smile of his own. It was fake but effortless. He looked at me for a split second. “Ignore the whispers and looks. I’m the problem and I apologize for that.”I paused in my tracks, too surprised to carry on our little walk. Did he just apologize to me? He stood next to me, his hand resting on the little of my back. “There’s no need to be surprised.”
Jadeite’s Hotel.Third Person.When Bo Mi told her that Ae Ra’s father left her because he discovered she wasn’t his child she knew she had hit the jackpot. She had discovered Ae Ra’s one weakness and she was going to enjoy exploiting it."Got you.” Min So mouthed before screaming, effectively gathering the attention of everyone around them.“What is wrong with you?! Leave her alone, you drunk!” Sa Rang screamed and pushed Ae Ra to the ground. They hurried to Min So who now had tears streaming down her face. “I can’t believe she hit you.” Sa Rang gushed.Ae Ra stared at the gathering crowd that formed around them. They looked horrified but she could see the smile that graced their lips, they were enjoying this. They pointed at her accusingly and whispered aggressively amongst themselves.“I knew she was trouble.”“Crazy woman!”“I heard she threw herself at Ji Won.”“I heard she slept her way up the ladder.”“Serves her right.”Amidst the spiteful words that rang around her, Ae Ra hear
Ji Won’s POV.Just when it looked futile, I spotted familiar long brown curls and a dazzling red dress. I pulled over and got out of the car. She was crunched over with her long brown hair covering either side of her face with her back to me inside a phone booth.I took quick strides to her and gently knocked on the booth door. She looked up at me slowly, her big brown eyes were filled with regret and pain. When she saw it was me she looked away, she must not like me very much. "I'm going to open the door now, Miss Lee," I announced carefully and slowly opened the glass door.I bent to her level. "Hello, Miss Lee." Silence. "Hi, Miss Lee." I tried again with an even more gentle tone."Sir, I'm not in the condition to be of assistance to you," She answered, still not looking at me."That's not why I'm here, Miss Lee." I didn't leave the investor I needed to ally with and come all the way here just to drag or order you around, I came because I was worried. "You left unannounced and i
Lie Blu’s Apartment.Ae Ra’s POV.“It’s a relief to see you safe and sound. I was worried when you ran out of the hotel like that.” He stared pitifully. “I don’t know what happened but eat well and get loads of rest, Ae Ra.” He passed me a bag. “Ji Won got you these, please accept them.”“Thanks for bringing these to me, Seonbae. I’ll treat you to lunch soon.”He shook his head dismissively. “Focus on getting better first, then we can eat lunch.” He smiled warmly. “Thank you, Seonbae. Have a good night.” I bowed.“Goodnight, Ae Ra. I hope your night is peaceful, you’ve been through enough for one night.” He placed his hand on my head and ruffled my hair softly. “Take good care of yourself.” He smiled.“I will, thank you, Seonbae.” I bowed once more and shut my door.It would be nice if CEO Jung was half as nice as Baek Jin was. I dropped the food on my table, I had no appetite whatsoever for it. My stomach grumbled loudly… okay, maybe I was hungry. I begrudgingly ate the tteokbokki a
Lie Blu’s Apartment.Third Person.Ha Na poured the water out of the basin carefully and set it on the counter with a distraught sigh. If she hadn’t gotten here in time if she had even been a second later than she was… what would have happened to her best friend?She clenched her jaw in anger. She wasn’t going to let this slide, not when they made Ae Ra go through so much pain. She pulled her phone out and dialled her grandfather’s secretary’s number. It rang only once before the line connected. “Miss Kim,” He answered monotonously on the other end.“Ju Won, I need you to find out everything you can about Miss Gim Min So. Anything that can get her in jail with as much evidence as possible.”“Understood, Miss Kim.”“Thank you.” She sighed as she ended the call. She turned towards Ae Ra’s room lovingly, she would do absolutely anything for her.“What took you so long?” Ae Ra eyed her friend as she walked into her room. “You sneaked off to eat my snacks didn’t you?” She teased hoping to b
[Warning] This chapter mentions violence and sexual assault which may be upsetting to some readers. Reader’s discretion is advised thank you and keep reading ‘My Unlovable Boss’ Jung Goods.Third Person.“Good morning Ae Ra–” Baek Jin’s jaw dropped along with the file he held in his hands as he took in Ae Ra’s appearance. Her hair which was usually let down was in a dishevelled ponytail. She was always neatly dressed and while she didn’t have much make-up on she was always pretty but today was different.Ae Ra could tell what Baek Jin was thinking from how he stared at her in shock at her appearance. He didn’t have to be so blatantly surprised but she couldn’t blame him either. If he showed up for work looking like she did, she would probably react the same way.They stared at each other silently, unsure of how to proceed. “Are you okay, Ae Ra?” He ran to her side. Her right eye twitched in annoyance, “Seonbae, do I look okay?” He swallowed and took a frightened step back, the fire i
Jung Goods.Third Person.Her eyes widened a fraction, “What are you doing, sir? I can walk by myself.”"You clearly cannot walk on your own, Miss Lee.” He retorted.She looked away from him and reluctantly wrapped her arms around his neck. "T-thank you" she uttered embarrassingly."There's no need to thank me, Miss Lee." He glanced at her. She looked anywhere but at him while biting her lips. Baek Jin’s jaw dropped as they walked past him. On one hand, he was shocked to see Ae Ra in such a sorry state, on the other hand, he was surprised to see Ji Won carrying her in his arms. He sprung to his feet. “What happened, Ae Ra? You looked bad this morning but now you just look awful!” He queried as he followed them into Ji Won’s office.Ji Won placed her gently on the sofa and took her heels off carefully. Seeing her injuries up close made him upset all over again. “How did this happen, Miss Lee?”Her heart thumped hard in her chest as she stared at the angry man in front of her. She felt
Jung Goods.Third Person.Baek Jin watched his friend shuffle to Ae Ra’s desk, he quietly picked up her belongings as well as her iPad and disappeared into his office. Shortly after he did that he emerged again not casting a glance at him.Ji Won ignored Baek Jin’s stare as he thought of what Miss Lee would like to eat. He pulled out his phone and searched for tasty meals but paused, a lot of meals in Korea are pretty good. He cleared the search bar and searched for foods that are good for healing sprains.He paused again, most of them looked more herbicidal than actual food. Would she like that on a hot Monday afternoon? He cleared the search bar once more and looked up tasty meals that are good for healing sprains.Kongguksu and kimchi seemed like the perfect meal for a sunny day. Healthy, refreshing and tasty. He smiled to himself as he turned to Baek Jin. “Get me a bowl of Kongguksu with a side of summer r****h green kimchi.”Baek Jin blinked repeatedly, “You might die if you eat t
