Chapter 24

The old man looked between the two of them with a thoughtful expression on his face.

He leaned back in his chair, and nodded.

'I see..' He said slowly. 'Chaeyoung do you want to be with Yoonjin just the way he wants to be with you?'. The old man directed his question to Chaeyoung but his eyes remained on Yoonjin.

Chaeyoung nodded and smiled.

'Yes I do'.

The old man took his eyes off Yoonjin and looked at Chaeyoung.

'Alright then, you have my blessings'.

Yoonjin felt relieved, the old man's acceptance had lifted a weight off his shoulders.

Chaeyoung looked at him with a mixture of happiness and relief on her own face.

She could not deny the fact that the old man question and gaze on them caused a slight goosebumps on her skin, but being a professional it was not noticeable.

With the blessing secured , the dinner came to an end.

The old man stood up and everyone bid him farewell before they started packing their belongings.

Chaeyoung excused herself to the bathroom while Yoonjin waited for her, while he had conversations with his mother.

Elvis walked to his mother and took her to a quiet area near the restroom.

Jiwoo pulled her hands off his as she stared at him angrily.

'What the hell do you think you're doing Elvis..' She snapped at Elvis strange behavior.

Elvis pinched the space between his brows and sighed.

'Mom, don't you think you owe me an explanation for what you did back there?'.

Jiwoo raised a brow at his question and scoffed.

'Is that the reason you brought me here?'. She said, her voice cold.

'Elvis you're the one that owe me an explanation..' She fold her hand in front of her chest with her head slightly raised as she stared at him.

'I never expect you to stop so low to actually be with an actress, after loosing someone better to your cousin'.

Jiwoo shook her head disappointed at Elvis as she walked out.

Elvis stood angrily, with his hand clenched in a fist.

He heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, revealing Chaeyoung.

She gave Elvis a short glance with a small smile on her face before proceeding to leave.

'Wait a minute Chaeyoung..'

She heard him say, his voice cold.

She stopped on her tracks and turned to look at him.

'What do you want?'. She asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Elvis looked at Chaeyoung, his eyes hard.

'I want to know why you are with Yoonjin'. He said bluntly.

Chaeyoung raised a brow at him followed by a scoff.

'Why does it matter to you?'. She asked back.

Elvis leaned closer, his eyes fixed on hers.

'I want to know if it is out of anger or spite..' His voice low and intense.

Chaeyoung placed her hand on her jaw as if thinking.

'Why do I feel like it's neither…' Chaeyoung looked at Elvis, a fierce expression in her eyes.

'I love Yoonjin, and I wouldn't be with him just because I am pained or hurt by someone else..' Chaeyoung crossed her hand in front of her chest.

'Come to think of it, why should I be pained because two cheaters got to be together?'.

Elvis scoffed as he knew all she said was a well made up lie.

'And you think that is believable?.. alright let's assume all you said is true, but why did it have to be Yoonjin?'.

Chaeyoung looked directly into Elvis eyes, her expression firm.

'Because He's a hundred and one percent better that you..'

Elvis was taken aback by her bluntness, he had not expected a direct comparison between him and Yoonjin from Chaeyoung.

He clenched his fist angrily as he stared angrily at Chaeyoung, who looked unfazed.

Chaeyoung felt a hand in her shoulder and turned around to find Yoonjin shooting daggers at Elvis, who was equally doing same.

He place a protective hand on her shoulder and gestured for them to leave.

'Let's go..' He said firmly with his eyes still fixed on Elvis.

Elvis move to block their path refusing to let them leave.

'I'm not done talking to her Yoonjin..' Elvis said.

Yoonjin looked at him angrily, and his hands on Chaeyoung's shoulder tightened.

'What more do you have to say Elvis?'. He asked.

'Elvis we don't have anything else to say'. Chaeyoung said to him.

Nari Who had been watching the scene from a distance away, with her face filled with jealousy , as she watched Elvis and Yoonjin shooting daggers at each other, with Chaeyoung between them.

It felt like a teenage fight over a girl, causing her anger increasing.

She quickly rushed forward, placing her hand on Elvis arms, and tugging him towards her.

'Elvis..' She called out in a low sweet voice.

Elvis turned his head to look at her.

'I'm feeling tired, I want to go home..'

Elvis smiled at her and nodded.

Chaeyoung couldn't help but roll her eyes because of the scene unfolding in front of her.

She knew exactly what Nari was trying to do, and was not going to give her a satisfactory reaction.

'Yoonjin shall we..?' Yoonjin's nodded and led Chaeyoung outside with his hands still wrapped around her shoulder.

Elvis watched them as they left, but he could not do anything about it since Nari was clutching on to him like a leech.

His jaw tightened, and expression dark as he watched the door shut.

Yoonjin led Chaeyoung out towards his car, his hand on her back.

They were silent as they walked, with no one ready to start a conversation.

Once they settled in the car, Yoonjin turned to her.

'Are you alright?'. He asked, earning a nod from her.

The car to her house was silent, except from the sound of the engine and occasionally passing of other cars.

Yoonjin could sense that Chaeyoung was upset, but he did not push her to talk if she was not ready.

They arrived at Chaeyoung's house and Yoonjin looked at Chaeyoung, waiting for her to say something.

Chaeyoung turned her head to face Yoonjin and they both met each other's gaze.

Finally Chaeyoung spoke up.

'Thank you..' she whispered and Yoonjin nodded.

'You should go now..' Yoonjin said but she only sat back, staring at him without moving.

Yoonjin looked at Chaeyoung and was confused why she was staring at him.

Chaeyoung could feel the weight of his gaze on her and she needed to say something but the words were stuck to her throat.

'..Chae are you alright?'. Yoonjin asked worriedly as he stared at her, but Chaeyoung only leaned closer to him, with her eyes fixed on his lips.

>>WARNING<<<

Their lips met in a passionate and deep kiss.

Yoonjin initial surprise suddenly turned to desire as he responded to her kiss, pulling her close to him.

He wrapped his hand around her, holding her tightly to his chest, as they deepened the kiss.

Chaeyoung felt her brain becoming blank as Yoonjin's lips left hers to her neck.

She tilted her head sideways to allow him gain more access to her bare white neck.

He raised her up and placed her on his thighs and claimed her lips again, his hand roaming over her body, tracing every curves as their kiss grew intense.

Chaeyoung responded eagerly, her hands gripped his shoulder.

In the mist of their heated moment, her phone suddenly vibrated signaling an incoming call.

They both froze and pulled apart from each other.

She climbed down from his thigh and searched for her phone in her bag.

She looked at the caller ID display: Nari.

He jaw clenched and she declined the call.

She turned to look at Yoonjin and held her bag.

'I should get going..' She said and the driver opened the door from outside.

She waved him goodbye and entered the house.
