38 A Better Sword (1/2)

Everyone couldn't take their eyes off of the sweet reunion in front of them.

Even the bratty girls couldn't help but fawn as the romantic, movie-like scene that came to their vision. Not only had they never seen Minhyun act romantically, but the two were picture perfect together. A beautiful boy and girl. It was a match made in heaven. Although peeks of jealousy filled their hearts, they couldn't help but be entranced.

All of their hearts fluttered, wis.h.i.+ng the two main characters the best of luck with their love.

To think that two childhood friends had reunited after so long - who wouldn't be happy?

Jaeun Moon. The only person in the world who didn't agree was Jaeun, who was seething in hatred and jealousy.

This whole situation, proved yet again, to why she should hate Yoona.

Without trying, Yoona was able to take everything that was hers. It was absolutely sickening. People, status, looks; everything fell into Yoona's favor. The girl had the luck of the century! But this time, it got much worse. Yoona was childhood friends with one of the greatest business men in the world. One that even Jaeun wasn't able to touch.

Her worst nightmares came to life. If she were to make the wrong moves, Yoona could obtain power and money as well. This could cause a whole uprising in the social sphere. The hierarchy Jaeun spent so hard building up and establis.h.i.+ng.

She couldn't let this happen.

However, although she wanted to break their happy moment, a stinging sensation erupted on her cheeks. The hives were coming. She wanted to stay to at least spread the couple apart but time was ticking fast and she couldn't tarnish her face. This was the perfect time to escape as everyone was busy staring at the couple.

Jaeun grit her teeth. Lady luck was being a b.i.t.c.h today.

She texted her driver, telling him to pick her up, before sending one last longing gaze to Minhyun. Her heart raced.

He was a man with great wealth and taste; a man perfect for her lifestyle. There was no person greater than he, and n.o.body more worthy for her. If he was to pick Yoona as a close companion, surely he would pick her as well. After all, Jaeun was way better than that poor girl.

Those were the words she kept telling herself.

With a sigh, she walked away. Not saying goodbye. She couldn't draw attention to the redness of her face. If the other girls were to see, surely they would spread gossip to ruin her career.

But she will return. With a greater sword as well.

Not noticing the young girl leave, the couple spread apart.

Yoona felt s.h.i.+vers run down her spine as she felt his lingering gaze on her. He had an aura of intimidation. Something different from when he was a child. To think that the small kid had morphed into a attractive man was quite the surprise. Many events must've happened to him to make him the person he was today. She was curious about his whole life. And she had a lot of questions to ask him.

But first, she noticed a single problem on his fine Armani suit.

”Y-you got food on your suit!” Yoona yelped. She grabbed a napkin and bent over to dab those pieces off. ”I'm so sorry!”

Knowing how expensive these suits could be, Yoona began to measure how much money it would cost the get this dry-cleaned or replaced. She wanted to feint at the amount of money her estimation was.

Minhyun chuckled as he eyed the stains. For him, it didn't matter too much. The suit was always replaceable with another one. However, the moment that they shared was not. It could never be recreated to the fullest. It was clear which one was more important to him.

”It's fine,” he said while lightly grabbing her wrist. ”You don't need to. I can get this replaced.”

Although Yoona wanted to protest, she just nodded. There were still many things she didn't know about this grown up Minhyun. She couldn't just tell him what to do.

”O-okay then,” she stuttered.
