Chapter 118 - Play around [2] (1/2)

”That one time was fine,” Jiwoo complained, ”But I don't want to have breakfast with this unpleasant woman again. How can I have my food peacefully? Her stench—”

Before Moon Jiwoo was able to continue further, Oh Sookyung raised his chopsticks and placed food inside her mouth, preventing her from speaking further.

Moon Jiwoo, Oh Sookyung, and Junghwa were present in the dining room. While two of them were having breakfast, Junghwa joined them with the excuse that she had no one to have breakfast with.

Sookyung smiled and said, ”Junghwa-ssi, this is a one time thing, right? You wouldn't be repeating this again I believe.”

Even to someone like Jiwoo how Sookyung was pressurising the female with his words and stare. Although he wasn't directly saying it, he showed how Junghwa was a nuisance with his actions and conduct.

”I am sorry,” she spoke out, ”I will try not to do it again.”

”See, Daerin, that's settled for now. Now at least try to bear with her for an hour or so,” Sookyung stated, ”And Junghwa-ssi, it appears that Daerin doesn't like you, so can you not come at here? You see, when she is angry, she tends to create a lot of trouble for me.”

”Hey! What do you mean by that!” Jiwoo exclaimed, glaring at the male seated beside her. Nonetheless, seeing how he was taking me feelings into consideration caused heart to flutter.

In such moments, Moon Jiwoo was always taken to be the evil lady due to her inability to control her emotions properly. Having someone to defend her was a first for Jiwoo.

The corner of her lips curved to form a smile despite of how she attempted to appear pissed at the male.

Junghwa simply nodded to that, but it did not miss Jiwoo's eyes how she tightly clenched on to her chopsticks or her eyes showed a flash of anger.

With that settled, Moon Jiwoo decided to concentrate at her meals until the breakfast time is over. There was no way she was going to allow Junghwa to keep her away from this delicious meal.

Reaching out for her glass of water, Moon Jiwoo picked it up, and as she was about to take a sip out of it, she noticed how Junghwa's chopsticks held on to vegetable. Realizing that Junghwa was about to place them on Sookyung's plate, Jiwoo acted impulsively.

Jiwoo blocked Junghwa from transferring that on to Sookyung's plate with her pair of chopsticks. Skillfully, Jiwoo took the vegetable from Junghwa's chopsticks with hers, and bringing them over to her mouth, she ate it.

”It seems like that the maids hate you or else why would yours be much bland when compared to mine,” Jiwoo spoke out, trying to act cool.

Even Moon Jiwoo herself was shocked by what she had done, and both of their— Sookyung and Junghwa— widened eyes showed that they were caught off guard as well.

Jiwoo did not understand why she had some something as mortifying as that. It was just that when she saw Junghwa doing something like that, she was unable to think straight.

Oh Sookyung let out a chuckle and said, ”It seems that Daerin is the easily jealous type.”

Moon Jiwoo felt a slight blush forming on her cheeks at that, and turning her head away, she vocalised, ”Who is jealous? It's just that I did not want to give that Junghwa the satisfaction.”

Deep inside of her, Jiwoo desperately prayed this not to be something as petty as jealousy. Feeling that over Oh Sookyung was truly frightening to her.

”Daerin-ssi really hates me. Your Majesty, do you mind taking a walk with me at the afternoon? Uncle had mentioned on how you will be free later on, and since I always wanted to see the garden at here, please take me with you,” Junghwa vocalised.

”Oh Sookyung, didn't you promise to go to the town with me today? Don't tell me that you will be breaking that promise just to walk at the garden with that?

Isn't that too boring for you?” Jiwoo vocalised, ”You might not know about it since you bȧrėly know Sookyung, but let me tell you on all the things he likes. Walking through the garden is one of the things he hates the most.

Going to the town and chasing after the females is the best thing for him. Of course being chased by females is something he detests. The reason both of us met was because how he was chasing after me like a pervert in—”
