Second Confession from Man In Love to Miss Right [COMPLETE]

Chapter 20

"Kids,- ops!" Grandma appeared in front of them. Her steps stopped at the sight of the two. "Looks like I disturb you at a wrong time. Sorry"

Jihoon quickly pulled his hand. "Sorry" he whispered and scratched the back of his neck. "I'm going inside" he gave a small smile to Grandma and headed inside.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you two" Grandma turned to Yubin. "I'm such a spoiler"

"No, Grandma. We just... nothing" Yubin voiced. "We cleaned the stable" she changed the subject.

"Thank you. You know, this old fellow can't clean this place anymore. I just can do a bit" "Don't worry, Grandma. Jihoon and me can take care of this place while we're here. I'll help take care of Zeus and Lyra" "You shouldn't do so much work, Yubin. I don't want you to fall sick anymore" "I didn't get sick anymore, Grandma. Well, sometimes I did" "If you need anything, just ask Jihoon some help" "Okay"

Jihoon closed the door behind him.

*What did I just do?!* the image of him and Yubin locking eyes for a few moments came into his mind. *Jihoon! You're weird!* he took his towel and took a shower.

Yubin entered the room to find Jihoon was standing in front of the mirror with his hand about to wear his cap.

"Hi" she greeted. Jihoon nodded in acknowledgement and wore his cap with the brim on the back. "I'll be downstairs if you want anything" Jihoon tried to get out from the awkward situation. The visual of them being so close just now appeared in his mind again.

"Sure" she answered but did not make any eye contact with him. He headed downstairs.

*Where's Grandma?* he entered the kitchen but there was no sight of Grandma. Jihoon entered the living room. *Not here too?* He walked out of the house.

"Jihoon" Grandma called from a wooden swing at the house veranda. He turned to her in surprise. "There you are, Grandma. I searched for you in the house" he approached her. "Sitting in the house all the time makes me sick" she put her cross stitch kit aside. "May I have a word with you?" she patted the empty seat on the swing beside her.

"What is it, Grandma? Did I do something wrong?" he asked as he sat beside her. "Nothing wrong. I want talk about you and Yubin. You two aren't really close right?" Jihoon was silent and Grandma continued. "I guess I'm right. I think you're trying to decrease the gap between you two. But Yubin keep on running away. I didn't saw the look of couple love in Yubin's eyes when she looks at you"

"Well, you're right. Actually, I don't know what's with me" "Tell me, dear. Do you really agree with this arranged marriage?" Jihoon heaved a sigh.

"I'm trying to accept it. It's for my parents' happiness. I don't want to hurt them" "So you just agree with this marriage?" "Yes. Besides..." "Besides?" "I have a crush on Yubin since we were little" "Omo! Really?!" Grandma was excited. "I don't really see the problem in your future marriage"

"Well not quite" "Is it Yubin?" "Yes" "I don't think she'll ever love me. I'm afraid she would never accept me. What am I going to do?" "Yubin wouldn't accept you? She didn't hate you, right? Why would she never accept you?" "Well, as you guess, we aren't really close. I always prank her since we're in kindergarten. I think she grew annoy with me" "Annoyed? That's great!" At her words, Jihoon looked at Grandma with furrowed eyebrows.

"What do you mean 'great'?" "Ever hear a saying that if you hate a person, you'll end up love that person. So I thought Yubin will love you although it will take a long time to happen. Just be patient, Jihoon" "I will. Thank you, Grandma"

"Jihoon, since you mention about prank. Do you mind telling me how those happen? I'm interested to know about it because it sounds fun" Grandma chuckled. "I suddenly remembered my youth. Yubin's late grandfather always put a prank on me. Even to this very day"
