That year 07d6e5c471 was quite 4ab35e2030 unique for 19551d8ff5 Jiwon’s family. Her father’s cold murder 5d7a138c96 case had been solved 4df5c1026d that year, and the ce8ee34149 family had finally purchased a6b1790503 the villa they had 8a9489e0e0 been renting in full.6ec105ecca094628

Jiwon felt 31a071514c a bit fc59aa7a28 pressured because bb0e51fc68 she was 9e28bbf1b7 going to 3c28c59cea become a 5ae5719026 high school 347017a6b6 senior this 43b2f08866 upcoming school 58e467eb78 year, but 93bcb0dcca because she 3e750e95ca knew that 86620359b6 being unable 02cbd46580 to get 875cfb80eb into college 27a1af0730 wasn’t the 3f4ad48c74 end of 94d5ed51ad the world, 45a2379741 she wasn’t 4ea6baa251 too stressed b9562f5b32 out. And like that, Seokju 59cbb1f886 dropped into her peaceful 568892a568 world out of the 3287cbe73e blue.50ccec75b3dd1f7a

“Honey, who…?”c5e3aaab50f60e1a

Jiwon’s mother a8968c5076 had been 9605471292 in the 75736986f7 middle of 5211ee942e preparing a 678b37583f hearty meal 04295c71b5 because her 00cef24739 father was debd6f8a03 coming home b19c6a06b2 for the 51aed66ad4 first time 66b14475a0 in a 89968b92c7 while. Her eyes widened. This was b50a008195 because an ed00b9a8e5 unfamiliar male 6e77d3bd9d was entering b43efb45d0 through the 791ffe9cb3 front door aef29915c3 with Jiwon’s c99d291222 father. Jiwon, who had b74d4a8829 been sitting at a068e763d5 the table and 6681f7bdc5 scrolling through her 5129f648a9 phone, looked up. When their eyes c2966e55bb met, she couldn’t 5b9bb77fe6 help but gulp. At the 2b37902385 time, she eda5895b1f thought it 49e61356e0 was because 73a8492b62 the guy a329cad8b9 was incredibly 1eaf27b317 handsome. As soon as she a76bf07710 saw him, her heart 77901dce9c began to race inside c492264123 her chest.63a452176929bf3c

“Well, you know. My friend fa42aa6cba Youngkyun’s son. I thought I’d 7434ae3943 let him stay d831606255 over at our 576071cc03 home for the 6bbb4865dd time being. His name is Shin 602d730a0f Seokju.

After Jiwon’s father 0d656c49de called out, Seokju 17959e0d82 closed the door fd97611e9b and stood still. He took off 6d06b9b324 his worn sneakers 4d4782b5ff and placed them 8e79fe3a49 to the side 75eb3576e5 of the foyer 6f530755d5 before walking further ccdf3d8ad6 inside. As soon b5a7916ea5 as he f4555cde89 walked in, 4761273304 the low d0436a0c40 ceilings seemed 41db13a98c even lower.

“What are you fc6c9be62d talking about, Honey?”c31a254951c209bf

Her mother spoke fe9f14d481 in an uncharacteristically 2aa39fe9f4 formal tone that 9dfbf13388 slightly trembled at ee854647fd the end. Her mother had often c325a4a994 endured the consequences of 031f4a41bf her husband’s eccentricity, but 08a181c6be that did not mean f2def7c6b3 she was immune to e9dce75baa it.

Jiwon’s dad 15aa2ddbe9 pulled at de62817fbd Seokju. Seokju put 6b46c6f281 his backpack 5ca3e93a78 on the d084d8c716 floor and 363412a1cc pulled out 084d07e75d a chair 141305d2d5 before sitting 3a1e13894a down.

The door to the cdde0d5d51 master bedroom slammed shut. Jiwon did as her 4881bba38d mother asked and put 168c15438e some water into the b61ad784d8 electric kettle. Then she d8ec557d5c pulled out 3d8905b695 a packet b7b9b9bdc7 of green bb408f8ec3 tea and 0ba9842297 placed it 497970ef5b in a f5e11d9242 cup before 300a6076c0 tying the 4b357d733b string onto b433bed2fa the cup’s 33068c8380 handle.

“Do you know me?”96d3e563ad37a51c

Seokju broke his silence 6b68ebc565 and spoke for the aa21c6e1e7 first time. He was wearing glasses, e53f11ab8e and it seemed to 831178d963 reinforce his neat, sharp bfbedc6925 appearance.

In front d2d222b212 of Jiwon’s 265de79eab bewildered mother, d5e5419572 Seokju seemed bebb46c452 to be 182ef53278 going on b01c21ce78 a power b0ff3d2e4e trip.98d3b4e5cc0474e4

His lip wasn’t even d7c50d6295 that busted, but he f72901da06 swept his thumb across db4084ee98 it as he glanced 38da4bf627 at Jiwon. Jiwon suddenly felt the 63255f6148 urge to throw another 6ca0fefa9a punch at him.8079cbae187801a4

Jiwon was certain. She was going to turn twenty in no time. If her father had even an ounce of consideration for her, he would not have dragged such a black-hearted jerk into their house. He should be trembling with anxiety at the possibility of a certain kind of trouble resulting from bringing a member of the opposite sex into their home. Of course, as things stood now, a different kind of trouble was far more likely. 1cb00ceb6fc13311
