Another Chance For Love

Threats

Ki waited for Myung at the restaurant. Ffrequently glancing at his watch.. aware that he needed to return home soon to get ready for Lisa's party.

He ordered a drink, hoping Myung would walk through the door at any moment. At last, she arrived, and he signaled the waiter to escort her to the table he had reserved. Myung looked stunning as usual, but Ki's attention was not on her as a romantic prospect; rather, he was concerned about her recent state of mind, knowing that her family was also invited to Lisa's grandmother's party he wanted no uncomfortable situations.

He picked up his drink and made his way to Myung, who was seated at the table. As he neared, she looked up, maintaining a composed expression to conceal her excitement.

"Hi!" Ki greeted her with a smile as he took a seat. She glanced at him casually and returned the smile, saying, "Hi."

"Do you want anything to drink?" he inquired.

"No," she replied, anticipating his next words.

"I know you've been having a tough time with the breakup. I don't mean to rub salt in the wound, but after talking to Sensei, I'm genuinely worried about you," Ki expressed.

Myung's initial response was... "This is not what I expected," as she looked at him, feeling somewhat out of place in the conversation. "Ohhhh. I don't know what you mean by 'concerned,' I am fine. Sensei can exaggerate sometimes," Myung replied.

"Myung, I don't think it's an exaggeration. You have been calling around trying to figure out what, where, and with whom I am with, haven't you?" Ki asked her directly.

"Wow, I thought maybe you had come to your senses and wanted to talk about us reuniting and resolving our situation," Myung said, clearly irritated.

"Please don't trivialize our relationship with your victim mentality. But since you're eager to understand why I don't want to marry you, perhaps the truth will free you from this obsessive belief that you possess me," Ki stated, pausing to take a sip of his drink.

"Let's hear it. I don't understand why, so enlighten me?" she implored.

"Firstly, you're a wild card, spoiled and unpredictable, not wife material for anyone. You're still out there flirting with other men. I've known about Choni for some time... So if you enjoy being with other men, why on earth would you want a husband?" Ki said, laying bare the harsh reality of the situation.

Myung smirked and lowered her head, unable to explain why she was sleeping with Choni. She felt ashamed that her secret had been revealed.

"Nothing to say, I guess. So let me add this... I've met someone else, and we're figuring out how to see each other... I know you've realized it, and she's unrelated to you and me or our situation... Don't ruin this for me," Ki said, finishing his drink. Myung remained silent, unable to justify her actions or plead her case any further. It was over.

"Oh, by the way, I know the families will be at Lisa's grandmother's party tonight, so don't make a fool of yourself. Your father would not be pleased," Ki said as she got up and left.

Lisa asked the waiter to come over and order a drink. Left to deal with the aftermath of what had just happened, she began to fixate on losing to a woman who, based on cultural and family background, was deemed unworthy of having Ki.
