"Right, Eonni?"

Yeojin flinched at the sudden call and tore her gaze away from the window and turned to face Lin whose grin slowly turned into a line and whose shoulders slumped a bit.

"You were't listening, were you?" The younger girl pouted.

Yeojin shook her head slowly. "Sorry." She gave her an apologetic smile.

Lin sighed a bit. "It's okay, Eonni!" The bright smile returned to Lin's face. "By the way," now a slight frown appeared on her face, "why was Gege grumbling about his arm?"

Yeojin's cheeks suddenly went beet red and she quickly turned back to gazing the trees whose colors looked blurred as the car sped passed them. "I-I don't know." But the tint color of blush on her cheeks didn't go unnoticed by Lin.

"Ah~" Lin nodded eyeing Yeojin with a knowing smile.

"Are you okay, Chairman?" Mr. Lee asked the younger man, who had been rubbing his right arm, worriedly as he opened the back door to the car.

Kris waved his arm dismissively as he stepped out of the car. "Just bring the suitcase for me," he handed his suitcase to Mr. Lee who immediately took it from him.

I shouldn't have lended my arm. Kris grumbled in his mind as he walked to the revolving door of the building. His arm still felt somewhat stiff, but at least it's better than when he woke up this the morning. His arm was practically dead then. But at least I can sleep on the bed after a long time.

Once he was in his office, Kris unbuttoned the single button on his jacket and flopped down on his chair while still massaging his arm. Mr. Lee excused himself to order coffee for him after putting down his suitcase. He then took out the small box he had been hiding inside his pocket. His hand played with the box as his mind drifted away.

He didn't love Yeojin. That was for sure. But he couldn't help the pang of guilt from eating him out. He felt like a cheating husband somehow.

"He said that?!" Ignoring their classmates, Sunhee laughed disbelieving what Yeojin told her about what her cousin said before he left the Wu's mansion the other day.

"Yeah. He did," Yeojin deadpanned. "What a crazy cousin you got there!" She rolled her eyes.

"Well... Did he actually tell you? Did you ask him?" Sunhee asked still giggling. Yeojin's eyes widened and her jaw dropped baffled by her friend's question.

"Aigo!" She flicked her friend's forehead earning a little yelp from her friend. "Why would I want to know some moves or position or method or whatever that is for doing that?!" Rubbing her forehead, Sunhee only giggled at her. "Well now I know where you get your perverted mind recently. Jongin must've taught you well!" Yeojin scowled and now it's Sunhee's turn to let her jaw dropped.

"What do you mean perverted mind? I do not have such kind of mind!" Sunhee pouted.

"Yeah yeah. Whatever, good girl!" Yeojin teased her. Sunhee still pouted, but soon the corners of her lips turned upward in a smile.

"Actually, Jongin's not a pervert, you know. Like at all. He just likes to act like he's some kind of a womanizer."

"Well~ he's a charming person - I'll give you that," Yeojin smiled remembering how fast she actually got close to Jongin though she just met him yesterday. "Speaking of him," Yeojin suddenly turned serious, her brows furrowed a bit, "how the hell he knows I'm married? It supposed to be a secret, Sunhee!"
