We don't talk anymore

Chapter 5

"Tsk, this is so irritating..." Jumin was running out of patience after his phone refused to work yet again. "Assistant Kang, can you please lend me your phone once more? I need to contact my father before we leave back for Korea."

"Of course, Mr. Han." Jaehee handed Jumin her phone.

Both of them were completely exhausted after spending four whole days doing research on the Japanese coffee company, going on meetings every single day, and making negotiations with them in order to meet all of their conditions. In Jumin's opinion, everything seemed a bit too much and over the top. Jaehee also had a suspicion something wasn't completely right in the whole situation. But every single time they spoke to the chairman and voiced their concerns, he would always assure them that they were worrying too much and that everything was going according to plan. So, there wasn't really much room for protest, and all they had left was to do their best.

"Thank you once again, Assistant Kang. We should get going; our flight will leave soon."

"Mr. Han— Jaehee stopped him in his tracks, just as Jumin was about to head to his room—are you sure you don't want to call MC? You haven't spoken to her in four days. Not to mention she hasn't been active in the RFA chatroom. "

Jumin took a deep breath and massaged his temples. "No, I am in no state to talk with her right now. I trust she is doing fine and has a good reason for her actions. After we're back home, I will meet her as soon as possible. So, there is no need to worry, Assistant Kang. Now, let us pack our luggage and head for the airport.

'He didn't even question my reasons for being this worried about him and MC. He must really be exhausted.' Jaehee thought to herself and began packing. 'I hope she's alright...'

"The preparations are complete, sister."

"Perfect. Make sure to be at the airport on time. Jumin doesn't suspect anything, so this is our chance. If you want to be his wife, you need to be on your best behavior. And this time, stick with the plan. No more improvising like during your visit to his penthouse. If that girl shows the photos to Jumin or releases them publicly, we will be faced with a huge scandal."

"Y-yes, I understand and apologize for my mistakes, sister."

Upon exiting the airport, Jumin and Jaehee were met with a huge crowd of reporters. Even the bodyguards were having a hard time trying to keep them away.

"Mr. Han, are the rumors true??"

"What rumors?" Jumin asked, quite confused. What happened while they were both gone?

"The rumors about your engagement."

"I don't know who spread such rumors, but I am not engaged to anyone. Now, if you'll please excuse me..." Jumin headed in the direction of the limo, waiting for them.

"But Sarah Choi herself spoke about your engagement on TV!" Another reporter added.

Jumin stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to face the reporter. "Excuse me?" He had a deadly ice-cold look in his eyes, and most of the reporters froze in their spots.

"Mr. Han, let us leave; we are expected in the office." Jaehee tried to take Jumin away, but at that moment Sarah Choi arrived out of nowhere. The second the reporters noticed her, she was already moving towards Jumin and wrapping her arms around him. A sea of camera flashes made sure to capture that scene.

"Jumin, darling, I missed you so much! I couldn't wait anymore, so I decided to come and meet you here!"

Jaehee was in complete shock, while Jumin couldn't even move a muscle. His headache, combined with the huge commotion going on around them and the screeching voice of this horrible woman, was proving impossible to handle for too long. He had to get out of there as soon as possible.
