The Red String Between Us

Episode 22

"Youra, good morning!!!" Sapa Hyunsik's.

"Hm? Wh-why did you come to the office?" My toot.

"Yes, my manager said there was a temporary schedule change" he replied.

"That's it..." Mumbles.

"Wait!"

"God! I'm so stupid! I shouldn't have asked that!" Inner panicking.

"I'm the one who set the schedule! I forgot about my own job!!"

I bow my head in shame.

Hyunshik smiled at me.

"God! It's cute!" Inner Hyunshik was pleased.

"By the way, did you like that steak yesterday?" Ask Hyunshik.

"Hm. I like it," I answered.

"I have to run away now!"

"ah! I have to give the documents to the main manager. See you...!" My pamit.

"certain. See you...!" Hyunshik.

Clotsy-clothed clotch.

I walked half-run away from Hyunshik.

...

The next...

"Youra!!" Sapa Hyunsik's.

The deg!

I turned towards Hyunshik.

He smiled at me.

I replied with a smile back.

Clotsy-clothed clotch.

Then I immediately went into the elevator.

Hyunshik just wanted to come to me.

But his steps stopped as soon as I saw him rush into the elevator.

Hyunshik frowned.

"God... It seems like he is very busy" muttered Hyunshik.

...

"Haw..."

I let out a breath.

These few days Hyunshik always greeted me.

"Youra!!"

"Youra!!"

"Chairman!!"

"Chairman Youra!!!"

I shook my head at the ringing of Hyunshik's calls lately.

"Aish! Be aware!" Mumbles.

"God...! I'm going crazy!" Inner me tired.

"Let's go," Take Kyung Mi.

"Hm," I replied while nodding.

...

"Surprisingly, it feels like I have something strange from Youra," muttered Hyunshik.

"He really is like... Avoiding me??" Mumbled again.

Hyunshik recalled the incident a few days ago.

He greeted Youra every time he met her.

But, Youra always went by saying that she had a lot of work to do.

"Gosh, I'm so curious" he muttered again.

The deg!

Hyunshik frowned.

His eyes were on a black car.

And he saw Youra get in that car with Kyung Mi.

"I also feel like lately, Youra hasn't brought her car either,"

Hyunshik shook his head

"God! I'm getting more curious!"

"I have to find out! How's it...?"

Hyunshik thought of someone.

"Who's his name?" Mumbled confused.

"Seo.. Seo Eun Kyung!" Hyunshik was pleased.

"I have to get an answer from him!"

Hyunshik immediately started his car engine.

...

Tap tap tap.

"God... After the lesson Professor Kim will definitely get a task. Just trouble...!" Eun Kyung muttered.

Eun-kyung just left class and was about to go to the cafeteria.

"Thankfully I can still rest after that"

"Seo Eun Kyung..?" Call someone.

Eun Kyung rounded her eyes.

He turned around and looked for the owner of the voice.

"Ah, right. It turns out you're Eun Kyung" muttered the person.

Eun Kyung raised one of her eyebrows confused.

"Hello. My name is Min Hyunshik" said the man introducing himself.

"Hello" replied Eun Kyung.

"Sir Hyunshik?" Eun Kyung's.

...

After finding Eun-kyung, Hyun-shik takes Eun-kyung to a park near campus.

"What do you want?" Eun Kyung's.

"Look, I was... Ahn Youra's co-worker," Hyunshik said.

"I want to ask you something" Hyunshik continued.

Eun Kyung sighed.

Then fold both his hands.

"I'm sorry I cut you, but... I think I know what you want to ask, "Cut Eun Kyung.

Hyunshik raised both eyebrows.

"Look, if this is related to Brother Youra, sorry, but... I can't tell you anything" he continued.

Hyunshik rounded his eyes in surprise.

"Why?" Ask Hyunshik.

"I can't tell you why either" replied Eun Kyung.

Eun-kyung feels guilty saying such a thing to Hyun-shik.

He did not dare to look at Hyunshik.

"I'm sorry..." Eun Kyung's.

There is a reason why Eun Kyung feels so guilty.

Lately, Eun Kyung sees a man coming to Youra's house.

Eun-kyung is very sure that the person is Hyun-shik.

That's because, when Youra just arrived from France, Eun Kyung saw that Youra was escorted by the same number plate as the car number plate she saw lately.

But that was only one of the reasons why he refused to tell.

"Eun Kyung, are you really not allowed to tell me anything about her??" Ask Hyunshik again.

Eun Kyung just shook her head.

"Please..." Pinta Hyunshi.

"God... Don't talk like that dong..." Eun Kyung's.

Eun Kyung breathed a heavy sigh.

Then, his eyes widened as he saw that the clock in his hand had already moved very far away.

"I can't keep going here, I've got this class out!" Inner Eun Kyung panicked.

"If I stay, I'm sure he'll definitely come back,"

"Good God imagining it is terrible enough! I don't want that to happen!"

"All right! All righty! I'll tell you something..!" Answer Eun Kyung.

Hyunshik rounded his eyes in surprise.

"God! I can't take it anymore!" Eun Kyung's heart is upset.

"Look, you know what, right? After dinner with her family, Youra went straight home to her parents" asked Eun Kyung.

Hyunshik nodded small.

"really. At that time, I was curious about what happened to him, "he replied.

"At that moment, I felt that something was wrong when they had dinner together,"

"Sister Tae-Hyun asked me something,"

"He asked about the people who were close to Kak Youra,"

Hyunshik frowned.

"In short, he told me to ban you from being close to Brother Youa,"

"What...?! Besides, how does he know my name...?!" Inner Hyunshik was shocked

"Did you tell me my name?" Hyunshik asked confusedly.

Eun Kyung rolled her eyes.

"Sister Tae-Hyun is our source of information...!" The answer.

"Don't you, Kak Youra and Kak Kyung Mi just don't know how he got all that information quickly..."

"Curtain!" Hyunshik.

"As long as you know, Tae-Hyun sister also said the reason,"

Hyunshik just opened his mouth wanting to talk.

"But I can't tell you. You can ask Youra directly,"

But Eun Kyung just rejected it.

"I have class after this. I hope you don't mind me leaving now,"

"Go," Expel Hyunshik.

"Gosh..!" Eun Kyung muttered.

"Thank you for the drink..." Pamit Eun Kyung's.

Tap tap tap.

"God... Don't let my love story be as complicated as theirs!" Eun Kyung's.

Hyunshik sighed heavily.

...

"May I ask for one?" Kyung Mi asked as she pointed towards the basket filled with plums in front of me.

"Take it," I answered.

I bought some fruits at the market.

Actually, I bought fruit to give to dad.

Lately, my father has rarely paid attention to his health.

I bought him some fruit, then put some in his room.

But right now, Kyung Mi and I are eating some in the dining room.

"Hey," Call Kyung Mi.

"Hm?" My answer.

"Look, are you... Still like to call Hyunshik?" Ask Kyung Mi.

"..."

I'm speechless.

"What... You okay?" Ask Kyung Mi.

"Sure," I answered lying.

"I never called him again, anyway" I continued.

"Good," muttered Kyung Mi relieved.

I rolled my eyeballs.

"God. My life is very sad, "My mind is upset.

"Anyways, don't let me know that you like it" told Kyung Mi.

"Hm. Fine, fine..." My answer.

"AHN YOURA!!"

The deg!

Me and Kyung Mi were surprised then turned to the origin of the voice.

...

"God...!"

Me and Kyung Mi 'caught wet' by dad.

More precisely, just me.

But it was Kyung Mi who caused us to be caught this time.

Dad told me and Kyung Mi to sit on the sofa.

We were both like little kids who thought we would get in trouble.

"Who is Hyunshik?" Ask Dad.

"..."

No one answered.

Kyung Mi has always been reluctant to answer my questions when she was angry.

He said, what's the point.

The reason for that was because father would definitely assume all of our answers were the result of lying.

"Who is Hyunshik?" Ask dad again in a slightly raised tone.

"..."

No one has yet answered.

I was really afraid something would happen if I told him.

"I ASK WHO IT IS..."

"...My friend!" Cut me.

Kyung Mi rounded her eyes and turned to look at me.

"Youra..." Kyung Mi muttered.

"You like it...?!" Ask dad again.

"Yes," I answered while nodding.

I was silent for a moment.

I frowned at me.

"...Don't call him again,"

I closed my eyes for a moment and then sighed.

"I've done it," My inner self.

Krieet.

I got up from my seat.

"No way" I replied to my father.

Dad rounded his eyes in surprise.

"This child...!"

Dad raised one of his hands and prepared to slap me.

Kyung Mi came straight to us and was about to arrest Dad.

I closed my eyes because I was scared.

"Here we go...!" Innerku prepare.

"..."

I frowned at my confused forehead.

I don't feel anything.

I thought, maybe it was a side effect of a very tight dad slap.

But when I opened my eyes.

I found the real answer.

Dad pulled his hand back.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Inner confused.

"You need to stop calling her...!" Tell again.

But still.

My answer remains the same.

"...Not gonna,"

Tap tap tap.

I went to the room leaving father and Kyung Mi.

But Kyung Mi immediately got up from her seat and followed me.

Honestly speaking.

At that time I was very scared and happy.

Because, it was the first time for me to refuse my father's orders.

...

Dad breathed heavily.

"Secretary Nam," Call father to the man next to him.

"Yes, sir...?" Sahut Mr. Nam.

"Find out that guy Hyunshik,"

"Yes sir..." Answer Mr. Nam.
