Park Jimin Daring Wife || PJM ✔️ (COMPLETE)

C27

After the bland and awkward dinner, Song Areum walked out of the restaurant without looking back. The chilly air of Shenbei slammed onto her with heavy force the minute she opened the door. She shivered at the cold and hugged her shoulders, cursing herself for not bringing a jacket along. She was never good at dealing with the cold so she couldn’t help but tremble in her heels.

Just then, a warm jacket was wrapped around her shoulder and a pair of arms came out to button the suit jacket.

Surprised at the action, she raised her head to see it was Lee Ha Jun. "Thank you." She gratefully smiled at her grandfather’s Vice President.

She rarely talked to him but all of their exchanges were always very pleasant. She didn’t know much about him except that he came from a humble background but garnered Song Yun Gak’s attention and support through his extremely high IQ and groundbreaking ideas.

"It’s rare to see you without a jacket." He commented, noticing her lack of protective outerwear.

"I was in a rush so I had forgotten to grab one." She said while she held her purse and allowed Lee Ha Jun to secure the jacket on her.

Unknowingly, there was a paparazzi not far from the two who had instantaneously snapped pictures of their seemingly intimate moment of a man making sure his lover was comfortable.

The paparazzi had gotten photos from when Lee Ha Jun had placed his suit jacket from behind and the look of surprise on her face at the gesture, as well as her sincere smile as he buttoned the suit jacket.

"Forgetful as always." He chuckled, taking a polite step back after ensuring the suit would stay in place and she would remain warm.

"I only forgot the meeting time once and now you’ll hold it against me forever?" She sulked, remembering a time where she was late to a meeting that had already finished by the time she had arrived. Lee Ha Jun had stayed behind to clean up and was the only one to witness her disheveled state.

"Of course, that’s the only flaw I’ve seen so far so I must keep it close to me." He teased, lightly tapping her forehead with his finger, unknowingly adding to the collection of intimate snapshots of them and Song Areum. Just then, Song Yun Gak and his sons strolled out of the restaurant.

Song Areum turned her head and the smile slipped off her face when she saw the unpleasant expression on her father’s face, the intrigued look of her eldest uncle, and the disapproving look on her grandfather’s face for attempting to run away so early.

"Once again, you remain disrespectful by leaving before the adults do." Song Kang Ho’s words were colder than the night wind but she was already used to his harsh blows.

She had grown up listening to his cruel words and it had made her severely immune to insults. A small part of her was glad that this rough treatment had made her more formidable, or else she would have not been able to survive the cutthroat world of backstabbing socialites and ruthless businessmen.

"If you had behaved during the dinner and actually ate the food instead of wasting your grandfather’s money, I would’ve taken you home." He mocked her just as his driver pulled up.

In his eyes, this useless daughter can only rely on his father’s backing and had been living her life as a freeloader. He had tried to dig around to check her relationship with the future head of the Park family, but it seems that her friendship with the Young Miss Park is their only connection.

This daughter of his is truly useless!

The edge of Song Areum’s lips turned up into a sardonic smile. "Home? And where is home?" She asked him, referring to the fact that she had been disowned and tossed out of their house right after her she had been humiliated and her engagement had been dissolved.
