The Red String Between Us
Episode 21
I bow my head.
"God... Finish me..." Batinku.
"You... Liked it?" Ask Kyung Mi.
I looked at Kyung Mi again.
"Hm..." Answer me while nodding.
Kyung Mi kept quiet, then didn't ask me again.
"God! Holy hooch! Holy hooch! Why did I say it?!" Inner panicking.
"...Don't let me know" said Kyung Mi.
I round my eyes.
"Hm?" Mumamku confused.
"Don't you tell him that?" Kyung Mi asked worriedly.
"Not yet..." My answer.
"Thank God..." Kyung Mi muttered in relief.
"I-i... What now...?" I'm confused.
"It depends on yourself,"
"You want to stop dodging and tell dad the truth, or..."
"...You're gonna follow Dad and continue what you're doing right now,"
"I... Don't want to disappoint you..." My answer.
Kyung Mi raised one corner of her lips.
"I knew you'd choose that..." Kyung Mi Sahut.
I looked at my brother with a confused look.
"You are Ahn Youra. My twin is multitalented, but very naive" he continued.
Huff...
I breathe heavily.
Brucks.
I leaned my body against the sofa and covered my face with both palms.
"But Youra, are you aware of it?" Ask Kyung Mi.
"Aware what?" Means back.
"Hyunshik" he answered.
"What's wrong with her?" Ask again.
"I think he likes you too" Kyung Mi explained.
"Good shit brother...! You shouldn't have said that! I feel more guilty..." I'm annoyed.
"I just want you to know that" he replied.
Huff...
"That's it. I'll just go back to my room. Maybe work can help take my mind off her," Pamitku.
"Enjoyously. I respect whatever your choice is. And I will always help you. Remember that," Entertain Kyung Mi.
"Thank you..." My answer.
Blams.
I closed the door to Kyung Mi's room.
Tick tick tick.
"Hello? Brother Tae-Hyun!" Call Kyung Mi.
"What's wrong?" Ask Tae-Hyun.
"I want to tell you something, but I'm sure... You already know,"
"What's that?" Ask Tae-Hyun again.
"Youra" replied Kyung Mi.
Just now Kyung Mi mentioned one word.
"Hm. I know," Sahut Tae-Hyun.
But Tae-Hyun says that she already knows.
"Let's not let you know that" he continued.
"How now?" Ask Kyung Mi.
"I have a plan, but I think... We'd better wait first" he replied.
"We don't know what will happen next" he continued.
Kyung Mi frowned confusedly.
...
Clotsy-clothed clotch.
I just went a few steps away from Kyung Mi's room.
"Ahn Youra," Call Hyunshik.
The deg!
I turned to the origin of the voice and saw Hyunshik approaching me.
"You're not home yet?" My toot.
"No, yet" he answered.
"But, i-this is right... It's been a few hours off your schedule, isn't it?" Ask again.
"I'm waiting for you" he answered.
I round my eyes.
Blushes.
I feel my cheeks blushing right now.
"God... How's this...?!" Inner panicking.
"Look, I'd like to take you to dinner. Are you a free man?" Ask.
"Can I accept the offer?" Inner confused.
I looked at Hyunshik's face looking forward to me accepting his invitation.
"I-likelihood... I'm empty tonight..." My answer.
"good. I'll pick you up tonight." Hyunshik was pleased.
I'm nodding.
"In that case, I'll go first, get back to work. The spirit!" Excitement cheers.
"Thank you" I answered.
He walked up to the elevator facing me.
He waved his hand.
I answered with a smile.
"This time only...! And this is the last time!" Inner reminded.
I turned around and rushed to my room.
...
Brrrm.
Right now, I'm already in Hyunshik's car.
"Do you like steak?" Ask Hyunshik.
I'm nodding.
"Thank God. I booked a place at the steakhouse for us tonight, "he continued to be relieved.
I'm facing the window.
I saw my reflection there.
"That's okay for a second, isn't it...?" Inner me worries.
...
"This. Eat it," Tell Hyunshik.
He gave me a plate with the meat he had cut.
"Thank you" I answered with a smile.
"Do you know? Hyun-Ae asked you," Hyunshik said.
I didn't answer.
"He was so happy you came by that time. He wants to see you again..." Further.
"Jeez, Hyun-Ae..." My inner self imagined the face of her younger brother Hyunshik.
At that time, Hyun-Ae looks really happy to see me who Hyunshik invited to come to his house.
As Hyun-Ae once said, the reason is because Hyun-shik almost never invited his friends to stop by his house.
Again I just answered with a smile.
Hyunshik raised one of his eyebrows.
"Youra, is there a problem?" Hyunshik asked worriedly.
The deg!
"No. There aren't. Don't worry," I replied.
"lik! I lied! I have a problem now!," My mind is evasive.
"If there is, just tell me. Who knows if I can help you" he told me.
"Hm. Sure," I answered.
"I'd love to tell you! But I don't want you to do anything to me either...!" Inner again.
...
Ckiiite.
We just got to my house.
"Who's that...?" Batinku.
I couldn't recognize the man because of the lack of light there.
Cklek.
Hyunshik opened the car door for me.
"Thank you..." I said.
Hyunshik answered with a smile.
"Be careful..." I said reminding Hyunshik.
" Yes, come in. " Answer Hyunshik.
I'm nodding.
I turned my body.
Clotsy-clothed clotch.
I walked towards my house.
Hyunshik realized the whereabouts of the man.
He frowned.
...
I approached the man.
"Good night Miss Youra" said the man.
"Sir Nam?" Call me name my father's personal secretary.
"Why did you come here?" My toot.
"Pang Ahn told me to take you to his house" he replied.
"What..?!" I'm confused.
I frowned at me.
The drap drap.
Suddenly, Hyunshik approached us.
"What's this?" Ask Hyunshik.
Me and Mr. Nam turned simultaneously towards Hyunshik.
"Youra, who is this?" Ask Hyunshik again.
"It... Is my father's personal secretary, Nam Joo-Won," I replied to Hyunshik.
"My father told him to pick me up at my parents' house" I continued.
"That's it..." Hyunshik muttered while nodding small.
"Go to my car. Let me get you guys...!" Pinta Hyunshi.
"Don't!" Inner shocked.
"Th-don't. Mr. Nam came with a driver," I refused.
"really?" Hyunshik asked in disbelief.
"Hm..." Reply assured.
"alright... Be careful on the road..." Hyunshik reminded.
I nodded again.

Ahn Youra:
Brother, I'm in
the journey home
Daddyh.
Ahn Kyung Mi:
Holy hooch! What the hell is going on?!
Ahn Youra:
I don't know...
Secretary Nam came to pick me up.
Ahn Kyung Mi:
You don't do things that make me suspicious.
Ahn Youra:
Hm... Good.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
Tap tap tap.
I walked into the living room.
"Oh? It's up apparently,"
I saw Dad walking up to me.
I salute my father.
"Sit down" Take my dad.
"Okay" I answered.
...
Sluurp's.
Dad's been talking to me for 1 hour.
But he still hasn't told me what made me get called here by him.
"Look... I called you here because..."
Kriee.
My father and I looked at the open door.
"Hello, dad," Sapa Kyung Mi looked down.
"Sister?" Inner confused.
"Oh? Kyung Mi, what brings you here?" Ask dad.
"I've met my friend. Coincidentally near here,"
My father looked at Kyung Mi with a flat gaze.
"God! I need a more convincing reason!" Inner Kyung Mi panicked.
"Then, I was also afraid to go home because in my apartment area there was a stalking issue" he continued.
"That's it..." Mumbled My father.
"Sit. I happened to invite Youra here, too,"
"Well dad," replied Kyung Mi.
He sits beside me.
I raised both of my eyebrows hinting that I was questioning the reason Kyung Mi came here.
Kyung Mi shook her head slightly hinting that she would tell me later.
I answered him with a small nod.
...
Blam it!
The drap drap.
Kyung Mi came up to me after closing and locked the door.
"Hey, did you ask me something?" Ask Kyung Mi.
"No really... Just questions about work, then how am I doing, you, and Tae-Hyun, brother" I replied.
"Thank God..." Kyung Mi continues to be relieved.
"Sister, what should I do now???" I'm confused.
"Look, for a while, we'd better follow what you're telling us,"
"Although if it requires us to stay here for a long time," he replied.
I breathe heavily.
"And it's better... If you go to work with me," continued Kyung Mi.
"Withyou?" My toot.
Kyung Mi nodded.
"Hm. Is correct. I will also ask my driver to take you wherever you want to go" he replied.
"I... Uncomfortable with that" I refused.
"I understand... But who knows who you're going to go with, " Kyung Mi said.
I bow my head.
"You really have to keep your distance from him" he continued.
"I'm asking you for help. That's because, me and Tae-Hyun don't want to be affected by what you're doing if you take a wrong step,"
"You know what it's like to mediate a raging father, right?"
"I don't want that time to come back again..." Pinta Kyung Mi begs.
"alright... I'll try that" I replied.
