“What’s this about?”
Kang Hyun released his grip from Ha Joon’s wrist, which he had grabbed abruptly, causing Ha Joon to wince. A red mark from the intense grip was visible on Ha Joon’s wrist.
“I thought you were some stranger hitting on her. There was a guy like that recently.”
Ji An, momentarily lost for words by Kang Hyun’s response, just fluttered her lips.
Kang Hyun seemed defiant, cutting off his sentences and pretending not to recognize Ha Joon, despite having met him before. His wild eyes and arrogant demeanor felt strangely familiar.
“Why are you still here if you’re off work?”
Appearing uninterested in continuing the conversation with Ha Joon, Kang Hyun turned to Ji An, who was blinking in confusion.
“Uh… Ah, I met a college friend nearby.”
“Was your important appointment a class reunion?”
Blushing at Kang Hyun’s informal and familiar tone, Ji An brushed her cheek with the back of her hand. Although he occasionally spoke informally, this time felt different.
“No, it wasn’t like that. I’ll explain later.”
“Let’s go, Ji An.”
Ha Joon, sensing the strange tension between Kang Hyun and Ji An, urged her to leave.
Kang Hyun’s closeness to Ji An, using the excuse of twins and even dining alone with the new secretary, had been bothering Ha Joon.
“Yeah, we should go. You’re on your way home too, Director? Then I’ll…”
“How about we have dinner together since you’re done with your important appointment?”
Ignoring Ha Joon and the planned executive dinner, Kang Hyun interrupted Ji An’s goodbye. Under his calm exterior, resentment towards Ha Joon was evident.
Kang Hyun’s patience had been tested several times after witnessing Ha Joon’s unhesitant touches on Ji An – stroking her hair, touching her cheek, and even carrying her while she was asleep.
The emotion of losing someone he wholly possessed and dominated to someone else was still a weak point for Kang Hyun.
“Dinner?”
Ji An hesitated at the sudden invitation. Although she planned to dine with Ha Joon, leaving Kang Hyun alone was strangely difficult, even before acknowledging her feelings for him. Her thoughts always seemed to flow towards him, regardless of liking or disliking him.
“Let’s all eat together.”
As Ji An’s hesitation grew, Ha Joon quickly made the decision.
“All of us? Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
Ha Joon agreed readily, but his expression darkened. He was anxious about Kang Hyun’s significance in Ji An’s life and wanted to keep an eye on the disturbance he brought into her peaceful routine.
“Are you okay with that, Director?”
“It’s fine.”
Kang Hyun also had his reasons for agreeing.
[Star Icon] [Star Icon] [Star Icon]The evening dinner, already off to a rocky start with Kang Hyun and Ha Joon engaging in a tense stand-off over who would take Ji An in their car, promised to be anything but smooth.
Caught between two unyielding men, Ji An felt like a drama’s heroine, her arms grabbed on each side. Eventually, they decided to move in Ha Joon’s car, with Kang Hyun taking the front passenger seat and Ji An in the back.
Throughout the ride to the restaurant, a heavy silence prevailed. Already downcast from learning the shocking truth about purchasing a baby’s ultrasound picture, Ji An sat sullenly, arms crossed.
Ha Joon couldn’t understand why he proposed dinner, nor why Kang Hyun accepted it under such tense circumstances.
“I’ll sit alone; you two sit together!”
Upon arriving at the Japanese restaurant recommended by Kang Hyun, Ji An quickly suggested this arrangement to avoid further conflicts. Despite their discomfort, Kang Hyun and Ha Joon complied.
“We’ll serve your meal now.”
A waiter soon entered the private room, serving a sumptuous spread of seasonal sashimi and various delicacies.
Pouring soju for himself and Kang Hyun, Ha Joon spoke first, “I’ve heard you’ve helped Ji An in many ways, thank you.”
“It’s nothing for Ha Joon to thank me for.”
“I also heard about the house you arranged for her. She’s close to her parents, too. They’d be pleased if you conveyed their thanks.”
“If necessary, I’ll hear that directly.”
Kang Hyun, slightly irritated by Ha Joon’s continual emphasis on his closeness with Ji An, watched her carefully as she made a wrap with lettuce and perilla leaves, adding a piece of sashimi, garlic, and two hot peppers.
“Are you drinking?”
“Yes? Yes.”
Kang Hyun, looking uneasy, reached over and plucked a pepper from Ji An’s wrap.
“You should only eat one spicy thing at a time.”
Ji An, about to laugh off his nagging, froze when another of Kang Hyun’s voices echoed in her mind, like tinnitus.
“Yoon Ah, you should only have one glass of milk a day.”
Feeling dizzy as if seeing a ghost, Ji An squeezed her eyelids shut and shook her head.
“Why did you drop the wrap? Classic Ji An.”
Jokingly scolding her, Ha Joon was about to pass her another wrap when Kang Hyun frowned.
“Why are you picking it up from the table?”
“It’s on a sanitary sheet. Ji An often drops things.”
“Still not okay.”
“Then I’ll eat it, okay?”

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?

“I will never let you return to him.”

“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
