Let me Love You, Miss!

Chapter 5's

Maru crossed a road with Gui's car. A girl named Rin came along too. Wild missions, weird missions, and I don't know what the Maru's decision is. He was a man who had completely turned upside down. Although he did not know exactly what happened to Han five years ago, he certainly held a grudge and suspicion that did not need reinforcement like anything else. An indistinct revenge. Only Maru understood herself completely. 

"Typically the girl came home from college at this hour" Gui said as their car pulled up right in front of Seoul University. Yuri studied there. Might as well. 

"Get out first, Rin," Maru's plea. 

"Good."

Yuri, the girl finally appeared amidst the crowd of students and sororities. Yuri who is seen by Maru is different from Yuri when critical at the airport. Maru gets out of the car to see Rin caught up in seeing Yuri's differences, with the photo Gui gave her.

"That's it, isn't it, Maru?"

"Not wrong anymore."

Maru had been in that space of closeness.  Yuri stopped her footsteps because Rin asked her to speak while standing up. Maru has time to be sure. 

"Thank you, that's enough" Maru told Rin.

Rin leaves and Yuri's gaze reflects the incomprehension, towards Maru's remark to Rin earlier. Maru looked at Yuri. Yuri subconsciously followed the direction Maru's eyes were heading towards her. While Gui sends a message to Maru from inside the car.

"We go first, may you make it into Han's life."

Maru smiled sinisterly then looked at Yuri back, "You're different now, Yuri."

"You know my name? Have we met before?"

"You don't wear the hijab when you're critical at the airport. But, I haven't forgotten that face of yours at all."

Yuri was silent for a moment trying to understand the meaning of Maru's words. Until finally decided to ask, "You ... were on that plane too? Are you ..."

"I'm the one who gave you first aid."

"You're a doctor?"

"No, but you can take it that way if you want."

"Yes, whoever you are . I thank you for saving my life. From there I decided not to drink anymore. I finally chose the hijab."

"So, is the story so short? Your previous life was pretty bar-bar too, huh?"

"true."

"Well, is it enough to thank you?"

"You mean?"

"I want to ask for your help."

"What's that?"

"You are the daughter of Mr. Troy."

"You know my father?"

"Yes, he's a famous man, a businessman, it's only natural."

"Then, what's your request?"

"I want you to take me to see your father at your residence."

"What business is it? You're my father's coworker?"

"To be more precise, your stepmother's best friend."

Maru's statement created a new line on Yuri's face, which was not as relaxed as before. Maru seemed to stop time with her always charismatic speech ability. There was an oddity embedded in Maru's facial features that were read by Yuri. 

"You call my stepmother? Han, huh?"

"Fright."

"I'm sure you have hidden intentions. You definitely don't just think of Han as a best friend, do you?"

"Why do you call your stepmother so impolite?"

"Ah, I thought you'd ask that. Come with me, it's not good to talk about this here."

Yuri invites Maru to a quiet park, but still in front of the highway. Yuri looked at Maru seriously. 

"What's your name?"

"Morning."

"Maru, I want to ask and you have to answer honestly."

"By pleasure."

"Well, do you like Han?"

"Didn't you like your stepmother?" 

"Why are you even asking back?"

"Your question is easy to guess. There's something I need to tell him."

"What does this have to do with my father's marriage to her?"

"Nothing, not at all," Maru tried to lie elegantly. 

Hearing Yuri's open speech, Maru again smiled cynically. He felt that choosing Yuri as a stepping stone was the best thing he had ever decided on in life. 

"I don't have time to listen to the curses of your family's life, can we go to where you are now," Maru again acted mysteriously and as if she did not need Yuri yan's confession that was open as before. 

Without realizing life, they are late at home synergizing it. The residence of a President. Mr. Troy, whose demeanor seemed mature, was present and seated at the elongated dining table. Like a dining table in a hotel. 

"I remember Astoria" Maru said in her heart. "Mandalika, wasn't that your dream, Han?"

"Is he my friend, Yuri?" ask Mr. Troy. 

"Eh .. her," Yuri was confused to answer. 

Maru thoughtlessly replied to the question, "I am Yuri's lover, Sir. I just happen to want to meet you."

Yuri who no one knows anything and thinks Maru wants to help her, instead gets a ridiculing answer from Maru. Sontak Yuri sends a message to her friend named Rui. 

"Rui, help me. Can you investigate this guy?"

As the message. Yuri silently tilted her phone and photographed Maru from the side. 

"If there's a guest, you shouldn't be playing too much on your phone, Yuri" Mr. Troy said. "Please sit down, young man. You're very good at kidding. Your mental state can too."

Maru smile. He seemed to have guessed that Mr. Troy, would have thought his shocking speech was a big joke. Maru complies with Mr. Troy's request to sit down and Yuri follows him. The meal happened to have been prepared by Mr. Troy's housekeeper. Maru checked her phone and read a message from Gui.

"It turns out Han was the culprit, he killed his mother himself. Your feelings about the voice of the masked woman you believe is Han, are not wrong. He did set you up to achieve his goal of getting treasure and life from Mr. Troy. I'll tell you more if you've met Mr. Troy."

Maru who was about to start with a glass of water, suddenly put the glass back to the table quite hard. Almost the glass spilled its contents and Maru almost broke it. Mr. Troy who had been relaxed because he thought Maru was only a friend of Yuri, his majesty seemed to change his perspective. Plus, the figure appeared. The figure that turned out to have slandered Maru and added to the hateful. 

Maru who was originally vengeful towards Han because Han took her ideals the wrong way, turned into a grudge that actually led to dislike again. But Maru certainly did not want to immediately believe the information. Even though the information came from his own best friend. Maru looked at Han who was still flabbergasted due to his presence at Mr. Troy's house. 

"You why, my wife? Why do you look so panicked? Sit then. You're like you just had a bad dream."

"He ..." Han sat down while shaking saying that word. 

"Oh, he's Yuri's college friend. He said he wanted to see me. Perhaps he was curious about the figure of this handsome President, haha."

Yuri who realized the strangeness, read the thoughts of her stepmother as well as Maru. He who already knew Maru's status while on campus, had an aura of his own thinking. 

"He ...doctor," said Han. 

"really? Didn't Yuri say ..."

"I haven't said anything before, Dad," Yuri cut through her father's confusion. 

"I'll bring him back. Heading into a world where his ideals fit the surface of his past. He who finally took the black path and sacrificed his own best friend, heh ... really should be picked up to get down immediately," Maru spoke like she was looking in the mirror. Other than Han, no one understood his words. 

Han, who was the only one who understood him the most here, chose to look as if he did not listen to him. Unfortunately, his brain was already made to understand. 

Maru again receives a message from Gui, "We meet at the bar, soon your working hours. There's something I want to tell you about the information."

"I must leave immediately, Mr. Troy .. sorry to make you dizzy with my attitude. I have to work now. Thank you for the food," said Maru then got up. 

"He's a strange man" said Mr. Troy judging Maru's momentary but wordless presence.

"Dad, I'll lead her for a while," Yuri looked for an excuse to convey something to Maru. 

Outside Maru who awaits Gui's invitation, receives a call from the arrival of Yuri who follows him. 

"Wait, Maru," Yuri panted.

"You ran after me all the way. You want me to help you?"

"You mean?"

"Han, you said you didn't like it, right? What can I help you with?"

"Wait, I'm still confused. Why did you look awkward and say weird when Han showed up? Han even looked worried. Didn't you say you were friends? And another ... why did you tell my father that you ..."

"You want to, don't you?"

"Oh?"

"Do you want to be my lover, Yuri? I'm attracted to girls like you. Brave, strong, and also have principles. I can see that from the way you fought destiny when it was critical on the plane. I also love the hijab women. Different from Han."

Yuri only gaped small and did not blink a bit because of Maru's words. Yuri took her fingers together and said, "I want you to help me separate Ham from my father. I don't like it. I don't care what your relationship is with Han. Obviously, I don't want my dad to get hurt."

Maru again showed a change of face, "What do you mean?" 

"I overheard Han's conversation with someone. He said he wanted to plan the murder of his father to get all his inheritance. If that happens ..."

"I won't let it. I'll help you, take it easy" Maru cut. 

Maru would certainly not let Han do the same thing again. Hearing Yuri's confession, Maru becomes convinced that Gui's information is indeed correct. Han, an assassin who had slandered him. Unknowingly, Yuri puts awe on Maru even though she secretly asks someone named Rui to investigate Maru. Maru indeed had a hidden intention that Yuri did not know about. But Yuri's openness, made Maru feel no need to pretend completely. 

"Aren't you mad I asked you to ruin your own best friend's life?" Yuri asked wholeheartedly. 

"Destroying what? It is he who destroys. Yuri?"

"Yes?" 

"I love you."

Air changed. The wind stopped flowing. Maru plays her double role very captivatingly. That false confession of love, was Maru's first step .. to use Yuri to reclaim Han. Although Maru begins to hate Han, undeniably, her innocent heart is so innate, still harboring love for Han DNA hoping Han returns to the right life choices.
