Chapter 120 - Impulsive [2] (1/2)

”What do you know about Oh Jihoon?” she questioned, raising one of her eyebrows.

Seeing how she was free, she decided to take the opportunity to visit the male at his study. Upon her visit, Sookyung decided to take a small break from his work.

Seated opposite to her on the couch, both of them had a cup of tea placed before them on the glass table along with some snacks.

”Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?” he asked. Lifting the cup of tea before him, he took a sip out of it before placing the glass down.

”Just asking,” she replied, ”I am just curious. He looks like a friendly person, and I really like him. That's why, I want to get along with him.”

”Personally, I don't know much about him, but the rumors about him are not in favour. It's best to stay away from him,” he voiced out.

”He mentioned to me earlier on how he tried to kill his sister but even someone like me could see how he was in hurt,” she spoke out.

”Do you know who his sister is?” he questioned.

”No, he hadn't told me about that. Why? Do I have to know about that person?” Jiwoo vocalised.

”You will be surprised to hear that you are his sister,” Sookyung voiced out, ”In other words, Moon Jiwoo is his sister although that body doesn't belong to you anymore.”

Spatting out the tea inside her mouth, Moon Jiwoo's eyes widened as she began to choke on the tea. While she coughed, she was unable to comprehend the situation.

Staring at Oh Sookyung with a baffled expression, she pointed at herself and said, ”How in the world did I have a brother? As far as I can remember, my mom did not give birth to someone else other than me, and he isn't even from the Yellow Clan. At least try to make your joke believable!”

”Your father was Oh Jihoon's father, Oh Jaeho,” he voiced out, ”As for rest of the story, it is something I am not quite sure of.”

”Wow! This is a major plot twist,” she mumbled, ”That means my mom cheated the man I thought was my dad, and I was actually from the red Clan from my birth. This is seriously unbelievable!”

Sookyung answered, ”But that has no connection to you anymore. After all, you are Shin Daerin right now. The current Jiwoo is one to deal with them.”

”I guess so. I wanted to find out about what happened to my family although there was bȧrėly any relationship between us, but I was too scared to do so.

However, it is as you say, I am Shin Daerin now. Maybe I should throw away all of those unpleasant memories as Moon Jiwoo,” she stated, ”Since I don't need to deal with them any longer.”

He chuckled and said, ”That's why, don't try to sympathize with Oh Jihoon. I don't want you to drag yourself into trouble.”

”Geez! I know what to do. Do I actually look like someone compassionate in your eyes? I will avoid him from next time onwards!”

”Jihoon!” she exclaimed, ”You are here again at the garden!”

Although Moon Jiwoo had given her word to Oh Sookyung on avoiding him, when she saw the man's back, she realized that she would not be able to do.

Seeing how this garden could only be visited by the selected few, Jiwoo convinced herself that it would not be bringing her much trouble if they communicate only at here. After all, the chance of anyone noticing them here was quite low.

With that thought in her mind, she decided to approach the man who leaned against the trunk of a giant tree. Petals dispersed in the air, making the scene seem ethereal.

”Jihoon?” he questioned.

”Yeah, didn't I tell you yesterday that I will be calling you that? Although you didn't say anything, I will be taking it as a yes,” she voiced out, ”Certainly, it's a different story if you are against.”

”It will do you no good to be beside me,” he said.

”Even if you say that, I am not obeying you. Let's just say that I have a motive behind staying beside you, and the more distant you try to grow, the more persistent I will.” she winked.
