Her words were momentarily stuck. She was at a loss for what to say, because he was too serious.
“Um, Min Hyuk.”
“Hmm.”
Da Hyun bit her lips and hesitated. She had called him, but she didn’t know what to say.
His sudden seriousness seemed to call for a serious response.
Min Hyuk couldn’t hide his bewildered face and chuckled at the sight of Da Hyun’s display of confusion.
“By the way, it seems like your sister wants us to get divorced. We’re newlyweds, yet she wants a divorce. That’s too much.”
Turning his body toward her with his chin propped up, Min Hyuk clicked his tongue.
“The one who invited us for dinner was Kang Min Hyuk.”
She answered Min Hyuk’s attempt to change the subject quickly. She knew he had deliberately shifted the conversation, noticing she was feeling awkward.
“So, why did you invite us?”
“I wanted to see directly how I should interact with you.”
Da Hyun, as soon as Ji Yeon disappeared, wetted her throat with the red wine poured into her wine glass.
Her throat felt as if it would be on fire with thirst, but as the liquid passed down her throat, her thirst was quenched.
At last, her breathing eased a bit.
After putting down her wine glass, Da Hyun looked to see if Ji Yeon was coming. She lowered her voice, just in case Ji Yeon could secretly listen in on the conversation.
“But did I talk a lot about my sister?”
Da Hyun, not noticing Min Hyuk’s subtle expression, tilted her head in confusion.
Come to think of it, he was well aware of my circumstances the first time we met.
“I don’t remember talking to Kang Min Hyuk about my family. I don’t like to mention it, so I rarely bring it up.”
He knew exactly where I stood and what my situation was, even though I had never mentioned my family or Ji Yeon.
Had we met somewhere before?
However, there were no memories of even brushing past him when he lived abroad. Judging by his lack of mention, it seems that our first encounter was indeed at the formal meeting.
Da Hyun threw out the deepening thought. She was on edge and might take things too sensitively.
“Are you curious about how I know?”
Min Hyuk spoke as if he would tell her the truth if she was really curious.
Da Hyun started to nod, then hesitated and shook her head.
“Never mind. Don’t say it. My father must have told you. Very few people know that Ji Yeon and I don’t get along well.”
She had held a conversation in order to stand in front of Su Cheol, so he must have started speaking ill of her from then on.
He must have made up detailed reasons for their poor relationship to oppose the marriage.
“Han Da Hyun! Where are you roaming around! You can’t! Stay at home. Don’t tarnish the family name by carelessly getting photographed.”
Su Cheol did not like Da Hyun going outside. Paparazzi or reporters could always be lurking, ready to write an unfavorable article. But, the same situation applied to Ji Yeon.
However, Su Cheol was strict only towards Da Hyun and was lenient towards Ji Yeon.
Although it was obvious, Da Hyun didn’t question Su Cheol. Despite being three years older than Ji Yeon, he wished her to stay more at home.
Suddenly, Da Hyun thought it was a huge relief that she had gotten out of Su Cheol’s interference by marrying Min Hyuk. She regretted her marriage to him, but she felt a huge sense of gratitude for escaping from Su Cheol.
If she hadn’t married him, she would probably be wasting time in her room in that helllike house.
Min Hyuk stared at her intently.
She was speaking calmly, but he could see her tension in the slight quiver of her eyelid as she lowered and lifted it.
“Father usually doesn’t share family matters with others, he must have really disliked the idea of marrying you off.”
Min Hyuk, seeing her tense over such a small thing, felt pity for the flushed Da Hyun.
“But still, you were able to go against the stubborn wishes of my father, Mr. Min Hyuk. That’s quite remarkable. My father is so stubborn. If he says something won’t happen, he absolutely doesn’t change his mind.”
“I told you, didn’t I? I would give you the freedom to escape from your father.”
“Thank you. If it wasn’t for you, Mr. Min Hyuk, I would be barely breathing in the shadow of my father.”
She drew a smile on her face and her eyes softened, showing her sincere gratitude.
Min Hyuk was dazzled by her natural demeanor. It was consistent, just like before.
He couldn’t comprehend the life she had led, living through acting to protect herself.
However, he couldn’t hide his emotions at the moment. Seeing her revealed like that made him recall the first time he met her.
At first, he looked at her with the same gaze as other women, but the mask she showed to others intrigued him.
As the past surfaced, Min Hyuk furrowed his brow at the intense pain that was creeping in.
Min Hyuk shook off the past and opened his mouth.
“Have you ever wondered why your father treats you that way?”
Even Min Hyuk found it strange. Why was Su Cheol only good to Ji Yeon? She was his bloodline too, after all.
