To meet again

Alix opened her makeup mirror in the car and turned her head from left to right and again from right to left.

"Do the earrings really look ugly on me?"

Jin gave her a side glance. "Since when are you bothered by your sister's remarks?"

"Who is bothered by a child's tantrum?" She rolled her eyes. "Clearly, she doesn't see my charm."

"Then why do you ask?"

She shrugged. "I just wanted to see what reaction she would give if I wore the earrings she gave me as a gift years ago."

Jin slightly arched his brow. "How come your heart melted so suddenly?"

"Apparently at one point, my sister genuinely used to adore me," she smiled and pointed at her earrings. "She spent all her pocket money on this."

Jin tried to envision such a past with a loving sisterhood. But he couldn't digest the contrast that Mui exhibited in the company party, wanting to ruin her own sister.

"She loved you and now she hates you."
