The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

The attendant then walked towards the wooden bridge that was connected to their floating... cottage.

"This place is better at night." Sehun noted. "The lighting here is awesome."

"I thought you said this place has archery?" Taehyung asked as he followed them inside.

"This place is too big. It is just behind this lake. Right over there." Sehun pointed to the spot near the lake. "Archery is good at night!"

"How is it good when it's dark? Will we even be able to see the target?" Taehyung argued.

"That's the point!" Rolling his eyes, Sehun gave a smug smile. "It's night, the lighting will not be good. You can't just rely on your eyesight. You will have to rely on your... emotions." Closing his eyes, he put his right hand on top of his heart. "It is always best to rely on your emotions while playing archery."

"What kind of lame thinking is that?" Irene sneered. "What emotions are you talking about?"

"Aigo... you won't understand. You don't even know what emotion is." Sehun countered. To be honest, he had never seen Irene smile. This woman was like a walking statue. How could she understand emotions?

"First, there is no such thing as emotion in playing archery." Irene said. "What, are you going to kiss your bow before shooting?"

As expected her words instantly made the others laugh. "What?" Irene asked, confused. "When shooting the arrow... there is only the bow and your target." This is just like killing someone, there is only your gun and the target. Why was Sehun talking about emotion?

"You see? I am a very emotional guy." Sehun said. "While you are a cold and mean woman. We are the exact opposite. This means... you won't understand what I'm talking about." He paused before turning towards Seulgi that was sitting next to him. "Seulgi... why do you like this woman?" He casually asked.

"Sehun you are going overboard, ah!" Irene glared at the man sitting opposite to her. "This is none of your business!"

"What do you mean Seulgi is my friend. I saw him in the orphanage before." Holding two of his fingers in front of Irene's face, he added. "We are this close. So... it is only normal for me to be concerned about his choice in women."

"Are you really concerned? Or jealous?"

"Jealous of what?"

"I don't know." Irene shrugged. "Tell me... do you like Seulgi? Do you want to become his girlfriend?"

"Wha-" Sehun widened his eyes before both him and Seulgi dramatically acted as if they were about to puke. "What are you talking about?" He managed to ask before turning towards Seulgi. "Seulgi... are you certain that you really like this woman? You know, you can always change your mind right?" He then looked at Taehyung who was sitting next to Seulgi. "Me and Taehyung will support you on changing your mind."

"Why would you like him to change his mind?" Irene said, irritation flashing in his eyes. After the realization of what she asked soon settled inside her. Slowly, her eyes widened. "I- I mean... if he changed his mind then it has nothing to do with me! Do you really have to say this in front of my face?" She frantically said as heat shot up her ears.

This created another harmonious teasing and laughing as Jennie and Lisa also joined in on teasing the two. Not long after, the people carrying the ingredients for their hotpot arrived. Various meat and vegetables that were thinly sliced as well as rice noodles and some seafood were served in front of them.

Two types of broth were also served for the group. After making sure that their orders were already served, the attendant immediately left. With the chopsticks, the group started their dinner as they watched the sun set from the horizon.
