37 Let Me Introduce Myself (1/2)

Terror filled Jaeun's heart when she realized the severity of the situation. As she felt the sticky substance on her skin, she knew it wouldn't take long for her to react. Usually it took around fifteen to thirty minutes for the symptoms to appear.

She needed to act fast.

This was an absolute disaster. What should she do? The hives lasted for a week and stood out despite packs of makeup. Should she skip school all together during that time? Not only that, but she would have to book additional dermatologist appointments due to scarring. All this work due to a single touch of garlic.

She wanted to cry. How could this whole night turn out like this?

The whole dinner was purposed to ruin Yoona further by intruding into her daily life. However, it was as if Jaeun was the only one suffering. Yoona was standing in front of her perfectly fine without a scratch. In fact, Jaeun could tell that the b.i.t.c.h was satisfied with her actions.

Jaeun clenched her fists. She couldn't leave empty handed. There had to be something to be done. Why was it that in the end, Jaeun was the one that always triumphed? The person who should be number one was her, yet, without even trying Yoona always stole the spotlight. Life was not fair.

Luckily, there were two things Jaeun reigned supreme over Yoona. The first was social status for she was the most looked-up-to girl in the school. The second was her wealth. Due to her position within the Moon group, she was able to acc.u.mulate ma.s.s wealth without trying. She was able to buy almost anything with the snap of her fingers, including this restaurant.

If fate wasn't going to let her win, then she would force the world to comply.

”I am going to make sure your life gets ruined,” Jaeun hissed. ”I will use all my money and power to make you beg for mercy. Just you wait b.i.t.c.h. You will find out how scary the Moon group truly is.”

For the first time in her life, Yoona had never seen such hatred targeted towards her. Yes the past two incidents were terrible. But they weren't on this level of seething hate. An unsettling feelings erupted in her chest. She just couldn't understand how someone could react this way.

Before she could reply, someone interrupted their conversation.

”Don't you dare try to make a move.”

A dark, powerful voice echoed through the room.

Yoona, recognizing the unique timbre and quickly turned to face its owner. Although there was no reason for him to be in this restaurant at this hour, she could not have made a mistake in ident.i.ty. When his dark eyes met hers, her thoughts were confirmed. The speaker was the man from yesterday. The one who gave her the large tip.

What was he doing here? Yoona couldn't grasp the situation.

As a member of the high-cla.s.s, the girls at the table immediately recognized the man. All of them were shocked to see his presence in this restaurant. He was supposed to be in New York. What was he doing in Korea? They all subconsciously brushed their hair with their fingers while batting their eyelashes.

How did the legend, Chae Minhyun, come to this humble place? They all whispered to one another as they eyed the man.

Known as the King of the business world, Minhyun had taken up his father's steps to taking over the company. He brought the company to have higher sales to a number, unseen by the South Korean Industry. Although he was only twenty-four years old, he was already ranking above all his seniors when it came to their business sense.

As young women in the society, they were constantly reminded of his presence. Not only was he capable but he was also good-looking. Any one of them would be thrilled to be acquainted with this man. He was a legend.

When Jaeun recognized him, she wanted to run away. To think her luck today was this bad. Not only was she covered in food, but she swore that the MH CEO threatened her. Everything happening today was an absolute disaster.

Chae Minhyun was her idol. The top of her list for potential husbands she would want in the future. Although she had only met him a few times on the rare occasion, seeing him up close was another experience. The man was absolutely beautiful and perfect for her.

Was this love at first sight?

But even with her thumping heart, there was one question she couldn't get out of her head. What was the relations.h.i.+p between the two? Yoona had recently broke up with her brother so there should not be any other male in her life, especially a renown CEO. There was something wrong with this picture.

”I-i'm sorry sir,” Jaeun began. A tight smile lifted on her face. ”C-can you repeat what y-you said?”

Since she looked terrible, the best she could do was act helpless. Perhaps, he could take pity on her victim state.

Minhyun sent her a cold gaze, seeing through her disguise. Although he acknowledged her presence, he didn't bother to reply.

Jaeun felt her heart tremble with fear. His mere gaze already brought her to her knees.
