Hidden Motives || Chae Hyungwon

[ eleven ]

Baek Ha Rim

kwon eun gyeol was far behind me, staring at both hyungwon and i being close to each other.

from the look on her face, i knew this was gonna bring some misunderstanding.

pouting her lips, she quickly rushed to hyungwon's side and immediately clung onto his arm. i watched her right infront of me as she suddenly turned to glare at me fiercely.

"hyungwon-ah, i looked for you everywhere and even talked to your secretary." she frowned at him.

"ah.. sorry eun gyeol-ah." hyungwon spoke.

i sensed his unease with her presence. the atmosphere also changed and became more tense.

however, i just remained as calm as ever.

"yah, don't you have work to do?" eun gyeol turned to me.

i raised my eyebrow at her upon hearing her talk to me informally. she probably felt jealousy seeing hyungwon and i close to each other all alone in this place, but i couldn't honestly care for her feelings at this very moment.

"eun gyeol, don't talk to my employees in a casual manner like that." hyungwon spoke up in a firm tone.

"you know i don't do that. she's a special case." eun gyeol shot back.

"well to tell you, i have no business here anymore. i'll get going." i sighed at the both of them and left the place confidently, heading to the restrooms.

from my back, i felt both their eyes gazing at my figure moving away from the scene.

i got inside the restroom and immediately placed my hands under the faucet to wash my hands on the sink. even the soap dispenser was operated by an automatic sensor, so that made things very convenient and more hygienic.

i started rubbing the ink off my hand, and thankfully, it was removing. i rinsed my hand with water and finally shook my hands before drying it with tissue paper.

suddenly, i heard the click of heels approaching right behind me. there, i eventually found kwon eun gyeol's reflection on the mirror as she entered the restrooms.

she stood right beside me, examining herself on the mirror and fixing her hair. i kept silent, continuing to mind my own business without looking at her.

"who do you think you are?" she suddenly turned her head and spoke to me as if i had already expected it to happen.

"why are you talking to me like that?" i asked, in a calm manner.

"i saw it with my two eyes. hyungwon was leaning his face close to yours. you've basically been caught, so now i'm warning you to stay away from him." she crossed her arms and tried to intimidate me.

i finally turned my body to face her, and tried to scare her off with my presence as well. i knew i was not a pushover when it came to things like this.

"is this usually how you deal with the people around your fiancé? you better watch how you talk to me." i spoke firmly.

she frowned at me, surprised by how i was dealing with her.

"you're probably one or two years younger than me, so what do i care? i know the types of you very well. there are lots of girls attempting to snake hyungwon away, and they have always been unsuccessful because of hyungwon's cold demeanor.."

"but if you've managed to catch his attention like that, then i'll be the one you'll be facing this time." she added.

i rolled my eyes and smirked at the statements she threw at me. she obviously didn't know who she was bumping into.
