Kim Hye Jin - pov
I met emma at starb*ck on beverly street
Of course to exchange my phone and take the sacred card of seo jin
Surely emma also made a report to me about something interesting for me to tell seo jin, just in case he asked me about the party
Emma told me all the details of yesterday's event until the end of the party
Emma told me this morning that seo jin had called me three times and she accidentally didn't pick him up
Seo Jin will be suspicious if the one who picks up the phone call is emma continues
Maybe I will make an excuse to seo jin that I woke up late and missed breakfast because I was too tired to spend time at the party yesterday
Seo Jin sent me a message, but emma did not dare to open the message before I came to see her
Emma and I opened a message from seo jin together and seo jin told me to pay a visit to deok mi's parents' house because lady song ji hye longed to meet her daughter
Seo Jin sent me a message 2 hours ago
"Why don't you tell me, emma?" Much
"Because I know you're on a plane and I'm having enough trouble getting in touch with you" I said
Before long seo jin made a call to my phone, reflex me and emma were surprised by the sound of my own phone
I gestured for emma to be quiet and fortunately the atmosphere at starb*ks was currently quiet
"Hoahhmmm.ya seo jin-ssi what is it?" I was pretending
"Are you awake hye jin-aa?" Seo jin asked
"Mm..just now" I said indifferently.
"Have you not read my message?" Ask seo jin again
"Hmm...I can still open my eyes perfectly, can you tell me what your message is, seo jin?" Much
"Yesterday my father called me and asked us to meet at his house" said seo jin and made me change the way I spoke
"Dad? Why would he send us to his house?" Much
"Maybe my mother misses her daughter.she simply asks if you are beside me and I answer 'yes'"
"There's no way I'd tell dad you were celebrating with your college friends"
"We should practice putting together the same answers about our activities last night just in case deok mi's father asks" said seo jin
Bizarre
Why did dong il suddenly ask me where I was last night?
if his wife misses his daughter, it should be enough to tell her to go home without asking for my whereabouts
The time was perfect when I was going to buffalo with Hajung
Does dong il have a spy in buffalo?
And the presence of hajung to buffalo makes dong il become misunderstood and think hajung is secretly doing something that will harm him?
Did the orphanage fire last night have anything to do with dong il?
He deliberately set fire to the hajung orphanage so that the concentration of hajung split and hoped that what was planned for hajung in buffalo to fail?
I'm more curious, lest dong il know hajung mental illness and deliberately make his mental disintegration because soon the election of the main director of real estate rose closer
Moreover hajung told me that many bad nicknames about him
Could it be that the person who spread gossip and the nickname hajung is the act of dong il as well?
"Hye jin-aa"
"Kim hye jin?"
Emma hit my hand and made me realize that seo jin called me a few times on the phone
Haaah...
Again I was lost in my own mind
"Ahh...mian* (sorry) seo jin-ssi, I still feel sleepy" I said pretend
"Well, I'll pick you up at the dorm" said seo jin.
"Ahh...no need!" My speech
"You don't need to go to the dorm because it will make the dormitory residents excited because of your arrival" I said looking for an excuse
"What is your mascudine hye jin?" Seo jin asked
"I mean right now almost all the residents of the dorm are staying here, I just don't want to appear strange gossip again, plus your car is very good and it will be striking here" I said to seo jin
"You don't forget the incident when my roommate almost came to your car when all night you were in front of my dorm on a snowy day" I said, looking for an excuse
Seo Jin was silent when she heard my words
"Haah, alright, I will ask the ohh driver to pick you up" said seo jin
"Alright.I don't mind if the driver ohh who picked me up, I hope the driver ohh pick me up using a regular sedan car as usual" I told seo jin and ended my phone call
I exhaled after speaking to seo jin
Too much lying makes my life more uncomfortable
I would love to end this play and return to my old life
Thank goodness the one who was going to pick me up was the ohh driver
I'll tell the driver ohh and hope he'll help me this time
***
As seo jin said, soon the ohh driver picked me up in front of the dorm and emma waved her hand at me
"You've become a great mistress now hye jin" ledek emma
I glanced sharply at emma that this was not a decent time to be made into a guyonan
After I got in the car, only a quarter of the way, the driver ohh cleared his throat to me while staring at the rearview mirror in the car
A sign that I should tell you what happened last night to the driver ohh
"All right, I'll tell you.." I said.
Ohh driver stopped suddenly when I told him that Hajung already knew my true identity
"Miss kim then what are you doing?" Ask the driver ohh
"Wouldn't we tell mr. seo jin about this matter" suggested the driver ohh
"Anio* (no) don't say anything to seo jin including detective choi" I warned the driver
"Only you know the driver ohh"
"You know that your master Park seo jin doesn't like hajung very much?"
"If you tell this to your master, a third world war will ensue"
"It would only complicate matters if seo jin knew of this"
"At least hajung agreed not to divulge my identity to everyone" I said
"Miss beware of mister hajung, as far as I can tell he has a very bad temper" the driver told me to warn
"Araseo* (i understand) driver ohh, I'll be careful" I said to calm the driver ohh
***
Seo Jin waited for me in the room and greeted me with a sigh
Like a father waiting for his son to come home from a field trip
"Hye jin-aa how was your party? Was fun?" Seo jin asked
"Mmm..I'm very happy, gomawo seo jin-ssi because you have borrowed your magic card" I said
"Eisshh...had told you repeatedly, the card has become yours, if you want to buy new and beautiful clothes, you can use it hye jin" said seo jin
I just smiled as I tucked my hair into my ears
"Hye jin-aa chakaman* (wait)" said seo jin frantically as he held my hand and revealed the hair on my forehead
"Are you hurt?" Seo Jin asked who was paying attention to me
"What's with your forehead?" Ask seo jin again
Haaa...
How'this!?
What am I supposed to say?
How seo jin noticed the wound on my forehead
Even Hajung, emma and the driver of ohh did not realize that there was a small wound plaster on my forehead
What because I was careless in front of seo jin and did not pay attention to my front hair that had covered my forehead
Don't let seo jin know the bluish bruises on my neck
I pulled my scarf over so that seo jin would not notice
"Ohh this?!" Exclamation
"It's because of my carelessness that I didn't see the leg of the table when I got back from the toilet"
"My heart was hit by the end of the table" I said
"Are you drunk?" Seo jin asked
"Anio* (no) I don't drink alcohol, I only drink a few glasses of orange juice" I said
"Are you a child? How can you not look at the table and make you fall to the point of hurting your forehead"
"Mian* (sorry) makes you worried about seo jin-ssi" I told seo jin
Seo Jin fell silent while looking at me
I soon realized that seo jin was looking at me
I was afraid he realized something was wrong with my neck
"Wae's?* (why?)" Much
"Are you cold, hye jin?" Seo jin asked
"Mm..little bit" I said
"Actually I'm not feeling well because I'm too tired to spend time with friends last night"
"In addition to the rather cold weather at this time" I said
"Should I cancel today's family lunch so you can rest hye jin?" Seo jin asked
"Anio* (no) you said his mother misses her daughter, don't make her wait, let's hurry" I said and immediately went to the bathroom to get ready
Actually I avoided seo jin so that he could not pay attention to me anymore
I'm so nervous about lying to seo jin
I dare not look seo jin in the eyes when I lie
This situation is frustrating me
****
During the trip, I pretended to sleep in a seo jin car
I deliberately avoided seo jin not to speak
Arriving at the residence of mr. dong il, deok mi's mother as usual welcomed her favorite daughter with kindness
"Aigoo my daughter" said deok mi's mother
"Where's dad?" Seo jin asked
"Ahh..he is grilling meat in the back garden" said deok mi's mother.
"REally?!" Seo jin's voice
"Too once I will help him in the back" said seo jin and immediately rushed to the back garden
"Eomma* (mother) aren't you cold outside the house?" Ask me for wonder
"Ahh no pity..winter this year did come earlier than previous years but I think winter this time has not fully come" said deok mi mother.
"It's been a week since the snow has fallen and I think autumn is reluctant to alternate with winter because it still wants to see the strong flowers that are still blooming for the last time before winter really does come" said deok mi's mother again
"while mom would love to invite you to eat together in the garden behind the house while enjoying the view of flowers"
"As soon as you hear from your father if your son-in-law calls your father and says he will come here, I eagerly prepare barbeque equipment to be taken there" exclaimed deok mi's mother
"Didn't you call seo jin because he said you missed me?" Ask me for wonder
"No! I'm sure your father told you that, I miss you, but I think you two will be busy because the director selection is getting closer. So I'm self-aware and won't ask you to visit me first" deok mi explained
"But hearing seo's son-in-law call your father and take the time for you two to come here, makes me happy"
"Haa...is he ashamed to say that he misses his own daughter?"
Bizarre
Why did dong il bring me and seo jin here?
And why he lied to seo jin and said that song ji hye misses his daughter
Did dong il call last night on seo jin just to make sure I was with him or not?
But after seo jin asked the reason he was looking for me suddenly, dong il said that his wife misses her own daughter so that seo jin does not suspect her
"Mother does not understand the way men think, is seo jin the same as your father reluctant to say miss you?" Ask deok mi's mother suddenly to me about seo jin
"Ahh..no mother, seo jin is not like father"
"He'll tell me right away if he misses me" I said
"Ohhh..had expected, seo jin is an honest child, he can not even hide his love for my daughter" said deok mi's mother and made me smile wryly
Me and deok mi's mother followed seo jin and dong il into the back garden of the house to help them cook barbeque meat
I saw some servants who welcomed us and stood beside dong il and seo jin if at any time they needed help from the servants
"You came in time my son, I thought I would burn this meat together with you and your husband" said Dong il when I just came to the garden
"We can burn some more meat if you want us to do it together" said seo jin
"Hahaha.no need, I'm just kidding son-in-law seo, you've come a long way to come here, I won't have the heart to tell you to burn meat again" say dong il and sit at the dining table that already looks beautiful because it has been decorated by the servants in this house
After the waiters finished preparing the food at the dining table, dong il invite all the people who sit at the dining table to eat the dish
In the middle of eating, dong il suddenly asked about my activities and seo jin last night
"Does traffic on the road happen? I thought you guys were here in the morning" asked dong il
"Sorry dad, me and deok mi woke up today" said seo jin
"What do you do at night?" Ask dong il who is too curious to know more details
"Yeobo* (honey) why you ask them like a newlywed couple" said deok mi's mother
"Hahaha.mian* (sorry) I just feel surprised, son-in-law does not usually come late, he is the type of man who really appreciates time" said dong il while glancing at me as if his gaze insinuated me that seo jin came late because of my actions
"I'm sorry dad, last night I worked late at home after me and deok mi dinner at a restaurant, because I thought tomorrow was a holiday" said seo jin
"Bluffy?! How could you still do something your wife doesn't like?"
"Don't let you fight again because deok mi does not like you who still bring work to the house of seo daughter-in-law" said deok mi's mother who suddenly said in this conversation
Oo....
Seo Jin seems to have forgotten what his wife hates
Should I intervene to help seo jin?
"Eomma* (mother) is meant seo jin working overtime is because he has to take care of me who is not feeling well. Don't scold seo jin" I said
"Omo omo* (astaga) are you sick, son? Why don't you say that to mom"
"Gwaenchana eomma* (mother) thanks to seo jin I feel better" I told deok mi's mother
"Should we go inside the noodle deok to warm your body?" Ask deok mi mom friendly
"Why don't you just rest at home deok mi, you can contact your mother or father and say no so come here" said song ji hye
"It's okay mom, how could I just stay home if dad says that mom misses me" I said
"I woke up all night because seo jin received a phone call from my father and said that my mother wanted to see me because she missed, didn't she?" My words to dong il intentionally say it in front of deok mi's mother
Deok mi's mother glanced at her husband to see the facial expression of her own husband who was caught lying by his daughter
Deok Mi's father just coughed then cleared his throat to relieve his nervous feelings
Before long my phone voice sounded a sign that someone wanted to talk to me
I immediately turned off the phone call without seeing the name contact who called me from the screen
The moment I turned off the phone call from someone, the sound of my phone ringing back and made everyone stare towards me
"Give me your phone baby, it looks like that person would love to talk to you" deok mi's mother said
I peeked at my phone from inside the bag and saw the name 'my affair 😈' calling
Haaaahh....
Sure enough, what else hajung called me when I was trying to find out why dong il called seo jin last night
I immediately picked up my phone from inside the bag intending to get away from them and pick up a phone call from Hajung
After I was sure that I had stayed away from my deok and seo jin parents, I picked up the phone in a whisper
"Yya* (hey) What'd you call me?" Much
"Come to my apartment there is something I want to confirm, you have 30 minutes" Hajung told me
"I can't right now, I'm at my deok mi parents' house" I whispered
"Well, then I'll give you 1.5 hours to get to my apartment, that's enough time, for your trip to get to my place" Hajung said at will
"Yeah!!* (hey!!)" I said while a little screamed and immediately I realized my voice that made seo jin and deok mi's parents look at me
"Neo michiseo's?* (are you crazy?)" I said while turning my back to deok mi dak seo jin's parents
"I can't go to your apartment today, what else do you want to confirm?" I asked hajung
"If you don't go to my apartment right now, I'll come pick you up to where you are" Hajung threatened
Argghh....
Hajung sung! He was like a prince from a kingdom in the middle of nowhere that had to be filled with all his wishes
"I will continue to monitor your location through the application I downloaded on your phone the other day"
"If within 15 minutes you don't move, without waiting 1.5 hours, I myself will move and go to the deok mi parents' house" Hajung said without hearing my words again
"But.." I said and without further ado, hajung turned off his phone call, a sign that he refused to negotiate with me
'Tut tut tut tut'
Napeun sekki* (bre**sek men)
I chided hajung in my heart and tried to hold back the anger
Relax hye jin, clear your mind and think about finding a reason to get out of here without seo jin
Aish...
But what reason should I tell seo jin
Should I ignore hajung?
I'm sure he was just bluffing
It was impossible for him to dare to come here all of a sudden
Ok
Now I'll go over to them and have lunch in peace
I smiled at deok mi's mother
And thankfully they didn't ask me who had called me
Shortly after I sat down, a message went off and I read it immediately
'What I said earlier was not the vain words of kim hye jin. I will solemnly do so if you do not come to my apartment Hajung wrote in the message
'Tring'
'Tring'
'Tring'
The sound of incoming messages from my phone came in a row
Without seeing it I knew that it was a message from Hajung
"Deok mi dear, do you still have other business that you can not leave?" Ask deok mi's mother
"I see from your face, you look very agitated" said deok mi mother again
"Mianhae eomma* (sorry mom) actually I still have another appointment with my friend today" I said lying again
"Is your friend's business so special and more important than a family lunch?" Ask deok mi's father to me
"Yeobo* (honey)" said deok mi's mother while hitting her husband's shoulder
"Araseo* (i understand) deok mi-aa, it looks like you have a very important affair until you look anxious"
"Go if it's very important" deok mi's mother said kindly
Oh my goodness
My deok mother is very considerate, sometimes I forget that the woman sitting in front of me is not my mother
Due to her gentle and caring nature, I felt that the figure of mother was always beside me
"Did something happen to your friend, baby?" Seo Jin asked me
"I'll tell you later at home, baby" I said with a smile to seo jin
"Well I'll take you" said seo jin and almost moved from his seat
"Ahh..no-no" I said to stop seo jin.
"You are here to accompany my mother and father in my place, yeobo* (honey)" I said as I moved from my seat
I deliberately approached seo jin's ear and whispered to him
"Something happened to emma, wait for me at home, I'll tell you, don't worry about me" I whispered to seo jin and kissed her cheek so that deok mi's mother did not suspect me
Seo Jin just kept quiet when I kissed her cheek
After that I left seo jin at the residence of dong il and asked charlie who is the personal driver dong il to drive me
I purposely asked Charlie to drive me to the pierrot gourmet luxury cafe and planned to pretend to go inside, after charlie left, I would get out of the cafe and go in a taxi
***
I still have 5 minutes to get to the hajung apartment.
Just past this red light, I will get to the apartment and run through the basemant to avoid the figure of the man who was stalking hajung
When I opened my wallet to pay for the taxi fare, I saw the dollar bill I took from my wallet last night and looked at it
Well...
At least I have my own reasons for turning over money that is not mine
After paying the taxi fare, I ran to the basemant and climbed the stairs to avoid the lobby floor
Haaah...
It's so troublesome, I don't know if that guy is still stalking hajung or not
If it wasn't for that guy, I could have reached Hajung's apartment in time
I breathed a little while panting up the 3-storey staircase because the door to the emergency stairs was locked, so I had to find the floor that opened the door for the emergency stairs
Haah shit!!....
Why did they wash the door for the emergency stairs from the 5th floor anyway?!
Why did they lock it at a time like this
I was 10 minutes late to get to the hajung apartment room on the 15th floor plus I had to wait for the elevator to stop on the 5th floor and head upstairs
I had reached the hallway floor of Hajung's room and started breathing quickly, occasionally taking a breath because I felt the oxygen supply around me was a little
Either because I was exhausted after climbing stairs or because I was nervous to meet Hajung
Finally I arrived at the door of Hajung's room, I had not been able to squeeze the bell, I was surprised by the voice of someone who was opening the door and looked at my face with a sharp look
Hajung opened the door of his room and surprised me, as if he was waiting for my presence right at the entrance
"You're 10 minutes late from basemant just to get to my apartment room" said Hajung flat and thin
"Yya* (hey) who told the door for the emergency staircase to be locked until the 5th floor?" Much
"I had to run through the stairs just to not cross paths with the man watching you in the lobby" I defended myself
"sssttt.shrink down your voice hye jin, don't discuss it outside" Hajung warned me.
"Wae-yos?* (why?) Are you afraid someone will hear it? At least you should know I'm trying with the skills I have to get to your apartment!" My little screamed while breathing heavily on the hajung
Hajung gently pulled my arm into his apartment room and dragged me and landed it against the wall without giving me a chance to replace my shoes from the outside with house slippers
My face was between the two hands of Hajung who was setting it on the wall, hajung looked at me closely and restricted my movements with his body
I don't know what he wants to confirm at this close distance
All I know is that I feel uncomfortable in a position like this
