Unbreakable love bond

97

Because of everything that happened, Lan Xi realized the potential value Nayeon possessed. So, she wanted to find a secret of Nayeon's to hold onto, hoping that someday it may help her control her.

The day before their trip to London, Jihyo was a bit distressed as she told Nayeon, "I've realized recently, someone's been stalking me..."

Nayeon tensed her eyebrows. She had a feeling she knew why Jihyo was being stalked. Lan Xi must have suspected that Jihyo and jeongyeon 's relationship was fake!

"So many days have passed since the incident. Have you not seen Jeongyeon even once?" Nayeon asked.

"Well, that day...the day that I brought grandfather home, Jeongyeon was waiting in the cold outside my house out of kindness; he simply wanted to see if we were safe. But, grandfather believed the words of Lan Xi and that jerk. They said I was Jeongyeon 's mistress. Now my grandfather refuses to leave Korea and insists on keeping me under observation."

"Jihyo, the only reason we got jeongyeon to announce he was your fiancé, was not only to cover for Mo Ting and I, but also to protect you. If you feel bothered by it..."

"No, I'm not bothered at all. In fact, I feel like jeongyeon  has suffered a loss from this entire situation," Jihyo waved her hand quickly.

"Then...what if we pretend that you two are living together?"

"Huh?"

"It's just pretend..." In reality, Nayeon had already sensed that Jihyo had a tiny inkling of interest in jeongyeon. So, she wanted to take advantage of the situation to create an opportunity for them.

"I...I'm afraid this isn't such a good idea," Jihyo's cheeks flushed red.

"You are an engaged couple. It's official."

After hearing this, Jihyo was stunned as she waved her hands vigorously, "Nayeon, don't do this. Otherwise, things will be even more awkward between him and I. I truly think of Jeongyeon as a friend. If you want me to play along with your act, I am happy to coordinate, but, if you want me to pretend to cohabit with him, that's gone a little overboard."

Nayeon was in the middle of packing her luggage. After hearing Jihyo's explanation, she nodded her head, "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"What are you talking about? " Jihyo acted like she heard something ridiculous. But in reality, the more flustered she was, the more obvious it was that she had the slightest hope something would happen. It was just that she felt she didn't compare to him...

So she was feeling a little inferior.

"When I come back, I'll ask Jeongyeon what type of girl he is interested in."

"Eh, isn't Big Boss accompanying you?" in order to make things less awkward, Jihyo quickly changed the topic. Nayeon thought about all the invitations and appointments sitting on Jaemin's desk and shook her head.

"It's almost the end of the year and events are popping up rapidly. I don't want her to be tired. Plus, to prevent her from following me, I've brought my flight forward a little. Don't forget."

"Don't worry, I've already packed everything," Jihyo felt like she could finally relax now that Nayeon no longer lingered around the topic of her and Jeongyeon.

Not only highly educated and without achievements; most importantly, she enjoyed eating too much. She felt it was impossible for an elite like Jeongyeon to be interested in her.

Sometimes, she felt the impulse to chase after something amazing. But, she felt she was already past the age where she would throw herself into a situation even though she knew she stood no chance...
