Jenny approached with a puzzled look on her face.
“Sister-in-law!”
Faced with an awkward situation, Chaewon bit her lower lip.
“Hee-Ju unni, sister? Why are you here?”
Even as she spoke, Jenny’s curious eyes remained fixed on Yu-Geon.
Having thought it over, Chaewon quickly smiled brightly and turned to Jenny.
“Oh my, how did we meet like this? What a small world.”
“Exactly, but sister, who is this man?”
Chaewon’s gaze shifted from Jenny to Yu-Geon. His silent, waiting expression seemed calmly threatening.
Swallowing hard, Chaewon changed her tone to be more formal.
“What to do, Yu-Geon? I’ve met a very, very important person. Let’s call it a day here, and I’ll contact you later. I’m sorry.”
After a polite farewell, Chaewon quickly grabbed her bag and stood up.
“Wait, sister, what’s going on? I have an appointment here!”
Well, she should have pretended not to know then.
Chaewon forcefully dragged Jenny out, linking arms with her.
“Ah! Where are you taking me? Just let go and talk.”
Once they found a sufficiently quiet spot, Chaewon faced Jenny with dry eyes and a barely lifted smile.
“The world is really small, meeting like this unexpectedly.”
Jenny, after scrutinizing Chaewon’s much more elegant appearance, suddenly realized something.
“Wow… That’s an Erdatang new collection! Sister, how much compensation did you receive? Did you get hit by a rich man’s car or something?”
“Not exactly a rich man’s car.”
Chaewon brushed off Jenny’s hand, touching her clothes, and stood with dignity.
“But, what brings you here, miss?”
“I came to meet Ho-Tae.”
“Ho-Tae?”
As Chaewon scanned her, Jenny frowned.
“The man I’m going to marry. Wow, sister, you really had a serious accident, didn’t you?”
Chaewon awkwardly smiled and nodded.
“How much compensation did you get, sister?”
Jenny’s slightly tan skin and deep double-lidded eyes widened in shock.
“Um…?”
Irritated by the continuous talk of compensation, Chaewon let out an uncomfortable sigh.
“Shouldn’t the first concern be whether the family member injured in the accident is okay or receiving proper treatment?”
When Chaewon asked this with a blank expression, Jenny blinked several times, flustered.
“I didn’t mean that.”
“Go ahead, tell me.”
As Chaewon took a step forward, looking intent on listening, a panicked Jenny stepped back.
“What’s with you, sister? You’ve really become strange since the accident.”
What kind of existence was Hee-Ju in their minds?
How poorly treated and how undervalued must she have been?
And why, feeling so unappreciated, did she not just divorce cleanly, but instead leave the house in defiance?
“Um, sister, how is she doing in the hospital?”
Chaewon gave a rotten smile in response to the belated question.
“They say it’s temporary, so don’t worry.”
“Um.”
As Jenny glanced around with a slightly shrunken expression, she spotted Yu-Geon emerging from the lobby and her eyes widened again.
“But what’s with you and that man, sister? Does brother know?”
Following Jenny’s gaze, Chaewon inhaled sharply and quickly turned her head. Just then, Yu-Geon was coming out of the lobby.
“I told you earlier, it’s a business meeting.”
“What business could you have? You’ve only ever done housework… Wait, there’s Ho-Tae!”
Chaewon turned to see a man in jeans and a denim shirt, an eyesore fashion, capturing her attention.
That man stood in front of Yu-Geon, who looked like he was walking a fashion runway in his clean suit, and shouted.
“Bro!”
At the same time, Chaewon’s eyes shook minutely.
Bro? Did he say bro? What kind of bro? Surely, it’s just a common term of endearment like the universally used ‘unni’, right? Hoping for that, Chaewon’s gaze clung to Yu-Geon’s lips.
“Yeah.”
Observing Yu-Geon’s reaction, Chaewon opened her mouth wide in shock and turned her head forward.
Of all things, Jenny’s fiancé and Yu-Geon were brothers.
Now that it had come to this, to avoid her identity being revealed, she really had to end things with Yu-Geon today.
“Ho-Tae!”
At Jenny’s oblivious loud voice, both men’s attention instantly turned to them, and Chaewon, meeting Yu-Geon’s gaze, smiled wryly.
Right, she had to get out of this situation quickly before things got more complicated.
“Well then, miss, enjoy your time with Ho-Tae.”
Feeling Yu-Geon’s gaze on her back, Chaewon hurried towards the emergency exit.
“Sister?”
Chaewon pretended to answer a non-existent phone call, hoping Yu-Geon wouldn’t come over and call out “Ms. Kim Chaewon,” and that Jenny wouldn’t shout “Hee-Ju unni.”
“Sister! Hee-Ju unni, where are you going!”
Damn.
That girl seems like a nuisance in life.
Biting her lip, Chaewon quickly opened the emergency exit door and disappeared.
“What are you doing here, brother?”
Yu-Geon, whose gaze had followed Chaewon, now turned back to Ho-Tae.
“Here to meet someone.”
“Did you have your blind date?”
“I’ll handle that.”
Ho-Tae’s curt response was followed by an uncomfortable expression as he noticed someone approaching.
“Oh, nice watch. How much did you pay?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
