The Next Day
Yesterday, Daehyun didn’t see Minhyuk’s face. Knowing that he felt uncomfortable, she didn’t mention that Kim Yoonhee was coming to the house.
The employee brought dinner to the bedroom, informing Daehyun that Minhyuk wouldn’t come out of the study. Daehyun didn’t ask, but thanks to the employee’s kindness, she knew he had returned home.
Since yesterday morning, Daehyun hadn’t seen Minhyuk’s face. When she woke up and called the employee, he informed her that he had already left for work.
At this point, it seemed like he was avoiding her, not the other way around.
“Hannah Daehyun.”
Daehyun stopped her thoughts at the sound of her name being called and snapped back to reality.
“Yes.”
When Kim Yoonhee called her name, Daehyun returned to reality, and shivers ran down her spine. She felt like she might vomit at any moment. Kim Yoonhee and Minhyuk’s faces overlapped naturally.
Kim Yoonhee arrived precisely on time for the appointment. She took off her coat like it was her own house, intending to hand it to the employee, but the employee ignored her and approached Daehyun.
Due to that, Kim Yoonhee’s face wrinkled, and she coughed as she hung her trench coat on the dining chair. She gave the employee a sidelong glance, dissatisfied with being ignored.
Daehyun just watched without telling the employee to take Kim Yoonhee’s trench coat.
Since Kim Yoonhee wasn’t invited as a guest, the employee didn’t make her showy.
Kim Yoonhee tried to smile gracefully, managing her expression.
“Thank you for inviting me.”
Daehyun, who had come to her senses, sat in the dining room, openly displaying her wariness toward Kim Yoonhee, who looked at her with a worldly face.
She had received a call from Kim Yoonhee yesterday.
“It’s Kim Yoonhee.”
The familiar number from yesterday belonged to Kim Yoonhee. She remembered too late that the last digits of the number were the same as before.
“Keep it a secret from Oppa, and let’s meet just the two of us. Ms. Hannah Daehyun, will you do that for me?”
Kim Yoonhee wanted to have a private conversation with her without Minhyuk knowing.
Even though she didn’t know how Kim Yoonhee got her number, Daehyun didn’t refuse the suggestion of meeting alone.
Daehyun thought about meeting when her body felt better, but there was no point in delaying. She immediately informed Kim Yoonhee to come to her place the next day.
Daehyun provided the appointment time and promptly hung up before Kim Yoonhee, who wanted to have a long conversation, could start. Both of them preferred short discussions that got straight to the point.
The employee brought the car and bowed to Daehyun.
“If you need anything more, please feel free to call, Madam.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Daehyun slightly raised the corner of her mouth, smiling at the employee. As the employee turned away, Daehyun immediately fixed her gaze on Kim Yoonhee with a stern expression.
As the employee left the dining room, Kim Yoonhee sparkled her eyes and looked around restlessly.
Daehyun didn’t like the sight of Kim Yoonhee exploring her house. However, since she had called her, she couldn’t say anything to her.
“I didn’t know you’d invite me to your house. Thank you for inviting me so willingly.”
Kim Yoonhee seemed to finish inspecting the dining room and fixed her eyes on Daehyun, who was watching her with suspicion.
“I didn’t want to go far to meet you, Ms. Kim Yoonhee. It’s because my time is precious.”
She didn’t want to invite Kim Yoonhee to her house. However, due to her poor health and the doctor’s advice not to move much for the sake of the child, she didn’t want to inform Kim Yoonhee either.
Thinking that Kim Yoonhee might poke around if she knew her condition, she thought it was the right choice to invite her.
“I’m sorry. Considering your health, I shouldn’t have contacted you to meet, but I also have my circumstances.”
Yoonhee showed composure as she looked at Daehyun expressionlessly.
Seeing the obviously fake smile, Daehyun raised the corner of her mouth.
“If someone keeps contacting me, it seems deliberate, doesn’t it?”
“Oppa doesn’t know I’m here, right?”
As if she didn’t need to answer, Yoonhee asked if Minhyuk knew or not.
“No, he doesn’t know.”
“By the way, I didn’t expect you wouldn’t tell Oppa that we met. Actually, I expected Ms. Hannah Daehyun would tell Oppa.”
“I also wanted to talk to Ms. Kim Yoonhee alone. I thought I wouldn’t be able to speak comfortably with Mr. Minhyuk around.”
Kim Yoonhee, with her bright red hair tied up neatly, looked at Daehyun, who held a teacup to her lips, with interest.
“So, both of us wanted to have a conversation. We seem to understand each other for the first time. Don’t we?”
“…….”
Kim Yoonhee never seemed tense in front of her, either then or now. She always acted as if she were in control.
While appearing considerate of the other person, her intention was purely for her own benefit.
If Han Jieun was the same inside and out, Kim Yoonhee was the exact opposite.
“Ms. Kim Yoonhee, go ahead and say what you want.”
