The Devil's Sweetheart

161

Upon reaching home, Yong-sun threw the shopping bags into the closet and tiredly collapsed on the bed. His scent still lingers on her dress; probably it happened when he hugged her in the trial room. She can't believe the misogynist initiated the hug this time. Each passing day, her feelings are turning stronger for him. Yong-sun wished she could open Moonbyul's brain and see if he feels at least something towards her. ''Does he like me? Obviously, it's a no. One-sided loves are pathetic.''

Just then, Yong-sun heard her favorite song, the ringtone she set for her mobile. Her heart hammered into the chest as she looked at the number. She gripped the mobile in her hands tightly, pondering what to speak when she hears his voice. Fanning her face, she lifted the call. ''Hell..''

''What took you so long to lift my call?'' His barking voice hovered over hers.

''I just arrived home,'' Yong-sun said. There is no word of kindness in his dictionary. He shamelessly used her twice to escape from the same woman and now treating her like a speck of dust. Next time, even if he begs, she decided not to help him.

''I will send a package to your hospital tomorrow,'' Moonbyul said. ''Open it secretly.''

''What's that'' She asked. It would be good if he gives a heads-up to prepare her mind. The bananas and socks are the most unforgettable gifts she ever received.

''Can't tell in the call. I will call you tomorrow.'' Moonbyul said. ''Go to Sleep. Don't talk with that criminal for hours.'' His voice stern, void of any emotions.

''Anyway, you will know the conversations. You have a knack for tracking calls of others, isn't it?'' Yong-sun said in a mocking voice.

''I-'' Moonbyul was tongue-tied. She brings the topic in every possible way to taunt him. ''Good night. I have...''

''Wait, Moonbyul...Don't hang up.'' Yong-sun quickly stopped him. ''I am bored. Can you talk for a while?'' She knows he disagrees.

''I am too busy to entertain you.'' With that, Moonbyul hung up.

Shortly after the call ended, Yong-sun's mobile buzzed with a message notification. [Moonbyul: I am telling you again, Yong-sun. I am going to drag that criminal into prison. You better stop getting attached to him.]

Is he jealous? No way! Yong-sun snubbed his message with scorn. She has more pressing matters than to think about Landon. For example: How to initiate the conversation with Moonbyul? Her poor brain hit with an idea instantly. Jennie! She quickly finished her dinner and lay down on the bed. Grabbing her mobile from the stand, she texted Jennie. [Yong-sun: What kind of question to ask a friend to prolong the conversation]

To her surprise, Yong-sun received an instant reply. [Jennie: Man or Woman?]

[Yong-sun: Man]

[Jennie: Is it your boyfriend?]

Yong-sun hesitated for a second, but in the end, she typed a yes.

[Jennie: Ask him what's the first thing he washes when he shower]

''What!'' Yong-sun spontaneously closed her eyes at the dirty thought that her poor brain imagined about Moonbyul. ''Oh My God! Jennie is very shameless. She speaks the unparliamentary language always.''

[Yong-sun: Jennie, isn't it a little personal question to ask?]

[Jennie: Then ask him how good he looks naked on the bed?]

[Jennie: If you feel that's also personal, probably, you can ask how big was his last Poop.]

Yong-sun: '' ''

''I will go mad if I chat with her for another five minutes'' Yong-sun threw the mobile onto the bedside table and closed her eyes. Without any mercy, Moonbyul will put her in prison for talking unparliamentary language. Bad Jennie! Does she talk about all these things with Lisa? He must have suffered a lot in her hands.
