Unrequited Love of 1870's Diary {SHINee Jonghyun}

CHAPTER 21

"I'm asking you to stay away from Jonghyun, Carla. I already know the truth that you guys really had an affair. I'm not blind. I let someone investigate you when I had doubts about you having him as your boyfriend... And I found out that you guys are really into relationship, but as a father, I'm willing to take any means just to give my child her happiness. Since Mi Cha is the first one to have him, will you let go of him? I know it may sound stupid to ask you, but like what I've said, I'm willing to use any means." Mi Cha's father looks at her directly to the eyes.

She braces herself through crossing her arms on her chest. "W—What do you mean by means samcheon?"

"You are smart Carla, I know that since you are always in the top since grade school. Will you understand if I say, I know your father's employer? I'm willing to use that as a bluff for you to leave him alone."

"M—Mwuh? You can't do that to your brother samcheon."

"I can if it has something to do with my daughter's happiness. So... Are you going to stay away?"

She hides her teary eyes from her uncle through playing on her coffee. She is really hurting. "I—I'll try my best samcheon."

"I don't like that answer Carla. Promise me that you will stay away."

"I already did. I—I already broke up with him earlier this morning. I—I promise." She said in a low voice.

"Well that's good to hear. From this day on, try not to communicate with him arasseo? You know your cousin."

She only nods as a reply. She cannot speak anymore since she is afraid to break down in front of her uncle if she will attempt to speak. She did not know that her uncle could be this ruthless.

"You have to understand your cousin a bit dear. She was born prematurely right?" Mi Cha's parents almost lost Mi Cha during her mother's 7th month of pregnancy since she fell on a staircase. Since then, her parents showered her with attention and love.

Carla goes out of the coffee shop after her uncle left her alone. She walks like a zombie with a blank face. She bursts into tears when she finally found a lonely place suitable for crying. Carla stops there and finds herself sitting on the grass. She tries to pound her chest when she feels pain coming from her heart.

"Here. Take this."

Carla raises her head to the person talking. "O—Oppa?" She wipes her tears with shyness before looking back at Joon Ki. "Mianhe."

Joon Ki smiles at her and then sits beside her. "Get this arasseo? Your make up is a mess." Joon Ki hands her a handkerchief.

"Omo? Chincha?" She gets his hanky. "Wait—I don't wear make up!" She frowns.

Joon Ki chuckles. "I'm just teasing you just to make you smile."

She looks down. "Gomawo oppa."

"Love life?"

"Hmm? What?" She looks at him with confusion.

Joon Ki smirks. "I heard that your cousin tried to commit suicide."

She nods as she sighs. "But how come you know oppa?"

Joon Ki shows her a smirking smile. "Did she do it because she does not want Jonghyun to break up with her?"

She looks at him with confusion. "Why—How did you know? Are you a fortune teller?"

Joon Ki shakes his head and then looks up the sky. "Aniyo. I know Jonghyun likes you. I saw your hands intertwined when we watched a movie. I just pretended that I did not know."
