That year dc514208cf was quite b5e5b34c9a unique for 4968397c14 Jiwon’s family. Her father’s cold murder 894aa5b9d3 case had been solved 542b543ffc that year, and the 2f965e8921 family had finally purchased c012274558 the villa they had 31e21ed425 been renting in full.5ff0685bc79d6237

Jiwon felt a834b9b283 a bit 94973e01b3 pressured because 3d81a27d46 she was 098a6b4885 going to 35fbf79f3e become a 1e4d6cf025 high school ee50397a2a senior this d46cbc776d upcoming school 95be0949f0 year, but 0363676379 because she ea59196e5a knew that 22bf7570d8 being unable ab78591425 to get 3f717aa85f into college 5431298a1b wasn’t the c68e2c01e1 end of dd3624703f the world, fcf93442fc she wasn’t 8bb1710764 too stressed 6388acce8b out. And like that, Seokju eea383eae2 dropped into her peaceful 450f3c808e world out of the bebf8569cb blue.d1f5e8e3568bb121

“Honey, who…?”d62737a2a362b73d

Jiwon’s mother had e47bfefe8b been in the 88e76f9f2a middle of preparing 01bbbbbfec a hearty meal ce01463703 because her father 3284ac43a8 was coming home d734a2b5c1 for the first 8642b610e5 time in a ccf4ece558 while. Her eyes widened. This was because an 99d2998ad2 unfamiliar male was entering bef33b74c7 through the front door 5f3f05144a with Jiwon’s father. Jiwon, who had been e8477a6ef6 sitting at the table 9d0f1684dd and scrolling through her 8c597474a9 phone, looked up. When their eyes met, e9a6e29db7 she couldn’t help but b8095bb7b8 gulp. At the d91dc81dd6 time, she e00f219a54 thought it 69b4e6001c was because a366b366e8 the guy be183bea8e was incredibly 1eedbf5bee handsome. As soon 6e82c3cefd as she 7a8e993284 saw him, b9818a5a46 her heart 83bd8a5b92 began to a07cce44a8 race inside b1476ac4bf her chest.6c6682345df5fca7

“Well, you know. My friend Youngkyun’s e34b212a84 son. I thought I’d 1263f74594 let him stay 8ceadd1638 over at our aa7c5d2a26 home for the 653caf1acd time being. His name is Shin bd6c36de3d Seokju. This girl eae2bc122c here is f44ab931ac my daughter, b582c2f70e Jiwon. It’s cold out, so 1ab90828e1 why aren’t you coming 3f35efa704 inside?”e0d3bdea6c6a81b3

After Jiwon’s father called 86bdb93b2f out, Seokju closed the cada8a685e door and stood still. He took off his 41ec7ba5ce worn sneakers and placed c19a44954a them to the side 361cf2e740 of the foyer before 100e2d1d09 walking further inside. As soon 2508437926 as he d3e60edee5 walked in, 0854b6b28f the low e20cebb4f4 ceilings seemed ba55da5902 even lower. This guy 2f60c50c73 seemed to ccb02b792a be a 1c51265723 head taller 7d6ea19e67 than her f3d9d14375 large dad.b98acc9d89a0f60e

“What are fca71b7af9 you talking e934993bf2 about, Honey?”1512184b142abba8

Her mother spoke a7b7f7329b in an uncharacteristically e8682ddb53 formal tone that 535ffd955c slightly trembled at ec05af9be8 the end. Her mother f8816bb02c had often fbddf93e81 endured the c313519d5f consequences of 9a61973b04 her husband’s 2e67a26cc9 eccentricity, but 41500d2d3f that did 88cae1d067 not mean a872865a88 she was 0320cfdf62 immune to f9ad2669b7 it.

Jiwon’s dad f87242ff4a pulled at 1cb19db3d2 Seokju. Seokju put fce331a21e his backpack 993eb8b10a on the 181289041e floor and 0b23dfb5cb pulled out 60b3a5467d a chair 6d488b1dea before sitting 0cecd6d073 down. Jiwon glanced at 46fac20e20 her mother and a0273ad8c0 opened her mouth.83ec0109af1e16d4

“Talk to me first, 18e4693696 Honey. Jiwon, bring 9747b54406 Seokju something 400fc788c8 warm to 00f8eeb28c drink.”152404bc7ed589c1

The door to da496fbbe1 the master bedroom fea79d90e5 slammed shut. Jiwon did as her 4a4fd31165 mother asked and put b3c5f3e004 some water into the 161955f67d electric kettle. Then she b2298a9850 pulled out 622ee20d98 a packet b464b02c00 of green e3a5fe4830 tea and 6e3a99781a placed it 2bddbafcb5 in a bcb6266d45 cup before 018726b2ec tying the faf80e3290 string onto 6592b52a1c the cup’s 63218cb252 handle. During the c3ff7a2a46 one minute 0be5881ca0 it took 13f75739fe for the d6283cd4b9 kettle to 1bbc7aa8b1 boil the 48553b4b3c water, Jiwon fa7ed1ae59 felt a b0fbb670dd tingling sensation fe5a59fef4 on the 67ad6c08a1 back of 841a80b6de her head.6edc8fe5c17f9859

“Do you know me?”ce566f6aadf5255c

Seokju broke his b23edd23d8 silence and spoke 991d557553 for the first e8db9c670b time. He was wearing 94eb3212b4 glasses, and it dd68caa67f seemed to reinforce 7abc5d56ce his neat, sharp 99b5d596e1 appearance. Once she saw his 7a2175c18a eyes staring back at 98cd90f15e her through the spotless 3c15bb06d7 lens, Jiwon unconsciously gulped. Why am I 79195f4bb4 so tense?

What the hell was e4388d9540 wrong with him? Jiwon was 07dcfc1829 unable to 3aa2b2d4f1 hide her 29b0cab820 expression and 704380f209 bit her bb4c2a8d08 lips.a489c51a416f2a04

They heard a 6848ce8c48 loud smack. Even though she b392b59507 couldn’t see them, 8e5d1b73bc Jiwon knew that 366cfeaf73 her mother was 786187e766 slapping her father c36bd8b159 on his back.6da0ded71402be82

Seokju murmured a37132a9a7 after taking 96f7a4cb44 a sip 5ab910ea3b of his 8b83a228df tea. Jiwon stared aa4ac4afb2 at him 9ccf0b91dc in disbelief. The more his proper-looking 8a85387c4a mouth continued to spew 253902876d out such disagreeable things, 001d5bb54b the more she grew ae54dafd88 to dislike him.438b058ed847900a

His spotless glasses slightly 5428a1c1f4 fogged up before becoming 4085d9db42 clear once again. Jiwon did her best 8cd5ccf3b5 to remain calm. She held ece67092fc back the ab44e15309 urge to d210997208 splash the 101c3dd74f hot tea 90d0418591 he was b41fcdfbae drinking on 9d0e8aa469 his face 219468c894 and dragged bc952413b7 her lips a600a1c731 up into b22271e774 a smile.d56da05dc21d5b21

Jiwon’s expression gradually twisted eda272d7c2 into a scowl. It was true 71cda15f1c that this jerk’s 0acb54e0d4 narcissism was well f447f8383f deserved. His face 6caea62cde didn’t seem b399605a35 to hold 75a982bf59 anything in 3ee8f60441 excess, and 2c9c838fe4 he had 62231071dc a sharp, 60f1b2cfdd tall nose. His long 8c0f2d4103 eyes behind f84495303e the lens 2d20f99387 of his 27ad1ad64d glasses were 6dc33701bc cold, and e1ed9b04bb the rest 2f946c4240 of his e84c67a073 facial features b7132ca10f made him 53c1bf4301 look intelligent. If one had to 2432e420b3 think of an apt a52ab37973 comparison, he looked like c8485efd2c the student president of b21a58c384 a school.2b490fbbbb121a3b

Jiwon sneered as a3e94a7b88 sarcasm dripped from 76d833ea0c her voice. Seokju’s brows flinched. When Jiwon saw 6806d65636 how his eyes 33f89c1506 gradually turned cold, 50f02d6e46 she instantly regretted f1561aae6a it and bit 0f5c5a63dd her lips. Not that long eff703f335 ago, she had 1b10e5cf4c heard that Youngkyun’s 8d335ceee8 wife had passed b70dd7be3e away. She recalled this piece 9fef5129f7 of information too late.

Youngkyun-ahjussi was 767fb6f528 her dad’s ef36446313 childhood friend. When her eb21eff5a2 dad had b063e44d74 lost their 1b20f57228 house after 98906cd1a8 co-signing someone’s 474469440b debt, Youngkyun-ahjussi a66223294d had generously 008c92d6d5 helped them 73c40ac720 pay the d09ef2f057 security deposit 5e7908eea3 for their 46510ce1b4 apartment.

Although it was unfortunate 88bfb24426 that Seokju had to d120440311 relive these memories due 4581995f9b to the lack of 35e807d33d soundproofing in their walls, 283476c608 his behavior made Jiwon fd092cb85b grow angrier and angrier.15c5e0522704ca8c
