Two days ago, Jisoo went back to the Kim residence and packed all of Wang Qin's things up. Anything he could take, he did whereas whatever he could not, he told someone to burn it in a fire, as if he wanted to wipe away all traces of Wang Qin and not leave a single hint of her behind.
When Kim Joon returned home and saw what was happening, he was furious. He scolded Jisoo for being an unfilial son. Needless to say, the father and son's relationship worsened. Miyeon took all of this in, and after much thought, she suddenly thought that it would be benefit her to look for Jisoo for a chat.
In fact, she could not help but worry about the way their relationship gradually worsened. Jisoo was slowly tipping towards Jennie's side, hence making her feel vaguely uneasy. She felt miserable as if she had swallowed a fly and was unable to handle the contrast.
"Why are you here?" Jisoo stood at the door and looked down at the dainty Miyeon with a faint mix of emotions in his eyes.
The slightly cold tone sounded piercing to Miyeon. Her heart could not help but feel the hostility, yet her beautiful little face did not reveal much of a shift in expression. She only smiled calmly at Jisoo and lifted the breakfast in her hand as she said, "I just wanted to come and see you. What's wrong? Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Miyeon pretended she did not notice Jisoo's indifference. She acted naturally like before as though she was a kind and understanding girl without a temper.
Jisoo stared at her for quite a while, then slowly turned around and walked into his house. A crescent-like smile flashed across Miyeon's face as she followed him in.
"I don't have coffee here, only flower tea. Do you want some?"
Jisoo was dressed in his pajamas at the moment. She sat down on the sofa in the living room as he began to boil some water.
"Sure, have breakfast first." Miyeon set the things on the dining table and then walked towards Jisoo.
"Thanks, put it there first. I'm not too hungry yet. Have a seat," Jisoo calmly answered. Then, he bent down to take out the flower tea from the drawer before slowly beginning to brew the tea.
"When did you change to drinking flower tea? I remember that you used to love Blue Mountain." Miyeon slowly sat down by Jisoo's side, her bright blue eyes watching Jisoo indistinctly.
Jisoo moved skillfully to brew the tea. When he heard her question, he paused a bit, and slowly looked up at Miyeon before quickly lowering his gaze again. He said in a deep voice, "Well, as you said, I used to. Drinking this flower tea is more nourishing than coffee. It's healthier too. I've started to appreciate life more in recent times."
Upon hearing Jisoo, Miyeon's eyes dimmed and pain flitted across her little face. "Jisoo, now that things have become like this, don't feel too sad. Live well so you won't let down whatever hope that Aunty Wang had for you."
Jisoo grinned. "Aren't I doing just fine right now? Nah, have some."
His handsome face did not reveal many emotions. Previously, he would always emanate a devilish charm, but now there was none of that. What was left was just a calm reservedness.
With mixed emotions in her eyes, Miyeon accepted Jisoo's flower tea. She lowered her head to take a sip, and then softly said, "Jisoo, seeing you like this makes me worry instead. I'd much rather you were the way you were before. At least, it was better than the way you're being so reticent now. I know you've been unhappy with me, but I still want to let you know that I've always treated you as one of my most precious friends whether it was in the past, present, or in the future. I hope you won't keep me out of your life.
"I don't know why we have become like this. Before I returned, at least, we both appreciated this friendship, but once I'm fine and have returned safely, this thing between us faded so quickly. I've been trying to find a reason. I think I must've done so badly to let what's between us gradually fade."
When Miyeon lamented their past, there was self-blame and faint sorrow in her eyes as she spoke. She started to laugh at herself. "Let's not talk about what's between us, but I do hope that if you're unhappy about anything, just come to me. Don't make things too difficult for Uncle Kim. A few days ago, when you went home to clear out Aunt Wang's things and burned everything, it made Uncle Kim very upset. Apart from coming to visit you, I've also come today to tell you that Uncle Kim was just..."
"I had no idea you've become the old man's mouthpiece. What benefit did he give you? Shasha, if it were before, I'd definitely be grateful for your words, but right now, it's making me a little annoyed. I'd much rather you came to mock me. Do you understand?"
Jisoo swiftly cut Miyeon off, his expression turning cold. "You don't need to speak for him. I'll never ever forgive Kim Joon! He knows very well how he has treated me and how he treated my mother. If he's still unhappy, I don't mind going to the household register center to change my surname to Wang."
"Jisoo, don't act impulsively. Uncle Kim didn't ask me to speak for him. I-I just couldn't bear to see it. When Uncle Kim came home and realized that you wiped out all the traces of Aunt Wang, he locked himself in the study room for an entire day. Do you see what's happening?"
"So what? Even if he locks himself up to death, my mother's not coming back! He's just a despicable hypocrite. Do you think I'd believe that after my mother died, that monster would suddenly realize that he cares for my mother? Dream on! That person's feelings are an insult. Do you understand?"
"Jisoo..."
"You can go home now. Don't come and be a mouthpiece anymore. Ever since you decided to stay in Kim Group, it's been decided that we'll never return to the way we were before. You're Sehun and Kim Joon's person while I...I need to fulfill my mother's wishes too. I, Jisoo, have always been very clear of who my enemies are. If you stay on in Kim Group, then we won't be able to go back to the way we were, so what's left is to become enemies."
Jisoo's eyes were clear and thorough as he studied Miyeon. "You've already made a decision a long time ago, and I respect it. Because of our friendship, I do respect you a little."
"Jisoo, don't...don't say that. I wouldn't hurt you and I wouldn't let them hurt you either. You've got to believe me."
