Chapter 65 - Beauty Lies In A Lover’s Eyes (1/2)

Su-Jin expected to feel a burning pain as her body hit the ground. But no matter how long she waited, that pain never came.

Just a second before reaching the ground, her body unexpectedly landed on something soft and warm.

At the moment of impact, she heard a low groan. At the same time, she felt something squirm beneath her.

Fighting the urge to keep her eyes closed for longer, Su-Jin slowly raised her eyelids a notch. Then, she warily opened her eyes and peered around carefully.

A split second later, her gaze landed on something that rendered her speechless.

To her utter astonishment, Ji-Won laid directly under her, with his body sprawled onto the ground, arms spread wide on either side. His face was scrunched up in pain, his eyes scarcely opened.

”Director Kang! Oh my gosh, are you alright?” Su-Jin yelped in shock.

She had been so frightened by the sight of him beneath her that she almost jumped two meters high.

Hearing her question, Ji-Won let out a low grunt in response. A deep crease appeared between his eyebrows, giving his expression an ominous look. Then, his eyes fluttered closed for a second, before opening again and settling on Su-Jin's startled face.

”Miss Park, would you please… get off of me now?” Ji-Won demanded gruffly, his eyes flashing with irritation.

”Oh, yes, of course. I'm sorry about that.” Su-Jin said hastily as she scrambled away from him in a hurry.

When getting up, Su-Jin's hands fumbled around widely and, in the process, ended up touching Ji-Won's chest and arms. Feeling the man's toned muscles under the fabric of his clothes caused a deep blush to creep up on her cheeks.

While trying to hide her crimson face, Su-Jin glanced sideways at Ji-Won. She saw him slowly getting up to his feet as well, looking thoroughly annoyed. His eyes looked so cold and menacing, as though they could kill on sight.

Su-Jin suddenly wished the earth would open a crack and swallow her up.

Completely unaware of Su-Jin's mortification, Ji-Won kept glowering, while trying to rearrange his crumpled clothes. Just as he was brushing the dust from his pants, he suddenly felt a stinging sensation on the back of his left hand. He let out a soft wince and raised his arm up to eye level.

”What happened? Did you get hurt?” Su-Jin asked in alarm.

It appeared that her previous wish of disappearing from the face of the earth easily got pushed at the back of her mind. As soon as she heard Ji-Won's sound of pain, Su-Jin forgot about anything else and hurried towards him in a flutter. Her face was a mask of both worry and mortification as she looked down at his hand.

”It's nothing, just a scratch.” Ji-Won retorted briskly, taking a small step away from her.

”That may be, but it looks like an ugly scratch. We have to clean it up properly, otherwise it will leave a scar.” Su-Jin insisted, trying to grab his hand.

Ji-Won quickly sidestepped. After moving out of her reach he shook his head in vehement refusal.

”It's nothing. I will take care of it when I get home.”
