20- Choi jealousy

During breakfast, Kwan subtly furrowed at Choi's weird attitude towards him. That was Choi eating her breakfast without even eyeing him.

To confirm whether yesterday's proposal was right or wrong, he slid to approach her hand.

She tugged inwardly promptly. Kwan blinks with bewilderment.

"What-"

"Did anything happen between us yesterday?"

She pulled the question out before him.

With a conflicted look on his face, he shook his head, cracking. "What is he asking about right now? Proposal or the kiss or...?" He asked inside himself, illustrating the incident of Choi begging him for intercourse.

Only then did Choi whirl out relief as a sigh. "I was drunk yesterday. Sorry if I behaved something wrong." She declared and apologised.

"What?"

He was appalled and shuddered.

"Why?"

She gave him a baffled look.

"So you don't remember anything?" With a wearily loosened shoulder, he muttered under his breath, disappointedly.

"What are you saying?" She asked, leaning further closer to hear him. Yet she couldn't catch his voice.

"Nothing," he said, standing up and informing her, "I'm leaving!" He then went upstairs, leaving the food unfinished.

A few minutes later, While Choi was still stirring the plate out of anger, her mind reverberated Jiin's warning, and Kwan left the house for work without even saying bye to her.

The loud door shut was the one that told her his leave.

"He left!" She informed her mind with a mystery-filled look on her face.

"No!!!!!!"

Woo-Sunk's sobbing scream awakened the manager.

"What are you screaming in the early morning?" The manager yelled at him.

Glaring at the news of Choi kissing Kwan at the get-together party, he was pissed off. "This pitch!"

"Which pitch?" The manager crawled to him and glimpsed at the photo. He was shocked, too.

Judging Woo-Sunk's heavy, angry breath, his manager teasingly queried, "Which one of these pitches to you?"

"Shut up!" Woo-sunk slapped his mouth and glared at his brother's surprised face, applying great pressure with his thumb to Kwan's eyes.

Choi became the talk of the towns in the whole of South korea and Switzerland.

It hit Choi's ear just when she was travelling on the bus, minding her own business. Soon hearing her name and Kwan's name from the news, she was frozen with wide eyes. Looking deep at her lips clinging to Kwan's, she raised her hand and covered her lips instantly.

At his office, she barged in without even knocking on the door, causing him to be surprised.

"Choi?"

He stood up immediately.

She went closer to him with speedy steps and asked, "Did I k-kiss you yesterday?"

Kwan nodded.

Promptly, her eyes became filled with tears. "Sorry, I was drunken, and that Ji-" she paused, knowing he would catch her jealousy red-handed. She then kept her mouth shut, embarrassed to meet his eyes.

"It's okay. I knew your heart only belonged to Woo-sunk."

Kwan sarcastically declared, projecting the expression of the wish for her good fortune, blind to seeing Choi's suddenly dissatisfied look.

Reaching his seat, he casually proclaimed, "Don't worry about the news. I will take care of it as soon as possible."

"Don't leave the house like this often. If the public figures you out, they will pick you like ants."

He threatened her deliberately to take revenge for his crestfallen heart.

"What to do now?" With a fear-tinged voice, she asked and scurried to his table.

"Stay in the office, and let's leave together this evening." He announced that, looking into her confused eyes.

"Whole day?"

"Here? In this room only?"

She stepped on her concern as the question. He twirled his tongue inside his closed mouth teasingly. He visibly appeared to be enjoying her, scaring off the public picking.

His corner eyes brightened, thinking he wanted to fear her more. So he stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "I have a meeting. You should be alone until noon."

"No!" She rushed to him, gripped his hand, and stopped him.

He smiled behind his pork face. "It's working." He encouraged himself. Thereafter, he veered around to her, moulding his face to be serious looking, and he leaned his face closer to her horrified-looking eyes.

"Why no?" He asked, making her heart fluster within a second, and choked her to speak.

"T-that... That b-because.."

"Because?"

"B-because..."

"Because?"

"B-B-because..."

He witnessed that she couldn't find the reason for the excuse. At last, he ended up with a chuckle. She was baffled looking at him chuckling suddenly.

"Don't be scared. I'm with you." He assured her and went back to his seat.

It took her an eternity to realise she was being teased by him. Despite that, she asked inevitably, "Did you tease me earlier?"

"Slow witt sloth," he criticised her with his enthusiastic voice and commented, "Come and help me with typing this file."

Thereafter, she went and sat next to him, splashing a playful glare.

"Do you type your documents by yourself?" She asked.

"Yes, this is the important one." He replied.

Giving her a punch of files, he allowed her saying, "Now you can start."

At the time, Kwan received a call from his grandfather. He attended it. "Hello?"

"Woo-sunk escaped." Grandfather complained.

"Did you search for him?" He asked as Choi browsed the old file for the details.

"Your younger sister is the culprit," his grandfather declared, biting his teeth. Furthermore, Yejin's hair was in his grip.

"Brother!!! Help me!!"

Kwan could hear Yejin's scream. Even Choi heard it and looked at him.

"Papa, are you hurting her right now?" Kwan asked and furrowed instantly.

"She is the one who rooted for him to get you and Choi." His grandpa explained the reason.

"Papa, leave her. She is not a little girl anymore. Stop treating her like that." Kwan advised him and visibly tensed.

He pulled her hair further tightly.

"Ah!!"

"Papa!!" Kwan shouted.

"I have no trust in this little devil!" His grandpa assured her with his instinct, offering her a finger flick on the forehead.

"Ah!"

"Papa. If you don't leave her, I will come back with Choi there." Kwan threatened him.

His grandfather took his hand back but kicked her booty slightly, but not harshly.

She twisted her lips and stood up, glaring at him.

"You are spoiling her too much." His grandfather was profound.

"You had already spoiled one child," he dictated, giving a glaze at Choi, who was giving him a bewildered look, not knowing what was going on on the other end of the call.

"Choi isn't a liar like these two," his grandfather gave her certificate, growling at Yejin, who was standing in front of him like she had no fear of her grandfather anymore.

"Let's talk later; I'm at work." Kwan disconnected the call.

"Work? Did you go there for work?"

His grandfather began Pickering him and found Kwan disconnected the call already. "Aish!! This boy..." He muttered with tension.

Soon, his furrow targeted Yejin again. Yejin flew out of the room in the blink of an eye.

Randomly staring at the air, he mumbled as if he had predicted something. "I must be aware of these two youngers." He told himself.

"For whom did you say you would bring me back to Switzerland?" She asked. Her voice exposed her slightly shaken heartbeat.

"My sister," he replied.

She felt her heart pierced by the sharp sword.

"You will do anything for your sister?" Asked Choi.

Unaware of her crestfallenness, he replied shortly, "Yes."

Choi bit her lower lips madly and glared at the computer display instead.

Since Kwan was focused on his work, he failed to notice her disheartened face.
