Chapter 6 - Same world (1/2)

Gold-rimmed sunglasses covered his brown eyes, and a black bucket hat sat upon his head, slightly revealing his parted blond hair. The expression on his face was unreadable and filled with nonchalance.

The difference between the expression of Jaehyun and Taehee, despite being unable to decipher them most of the times, was that Jaehyun's face held a cold outlook whilst Taehee's one was playful.

Even after years of staying beside both of them, Jinhee found herself to be knowing barely anything about them. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure both of them out.

Therefore, they both remained a great danger for her to carry out her plans since they were huge variables. Jinhee is already aware that her small actions has created ripples in calm lake, but she didn't know how far did the effects of those ripples go.

"Jaehyun-ah, you're here too," Jangmi spoke out while she stepped towards the table Jinhee was seated at with a tray containing three square desert plate.

The surface of circular dessert appeared smooth. The colours red, green, and yellow was more evident on the upper layer, and sandy brown was colour of the bottom layer. The dessert appeared extremely appetizing in Jinhee's opinion.

Jaehyun nodded in acknowledgement.

Seeing Jaehyun here did not bring much surprise to Jinhee since she was aware that he was allowed here. Jaehyun's mother was the older sister of Jangmi, and he was her adored nephew.

In her previous life, Jinhee convinced Jangmi to teach her how to make desserts, and she worked her hardest to impress Jaehyun with her desserts although they weren't comparable to Jangmi.

Jinhee recalled the pathetic moments of how she stayed up late for months just to perfect a cake for Jaehyun's birthday, and the only thing she received was one 'good' from him.

This was enough to make Jinhee feel satisfied at that time, but now, it makes her scoff at herself for being so easily convinced with a simple word. He didn't even bother showing a smile over at her.

'Lee Jinhee, where was your self-respect? No wonder you're so easily disregarded by others.'

Taehee shook her shoulder to pull her out of the trance, and driven out of her thoughts, Jinhee stared at Taehee questioningly. A big smile sat upon Taehee's face, accentuating her alluring features.

Jinhee noticed that Jaehyun had already taken a seat in between of her and Taehee. The sunglasses were no longer upon his face, and a calm look was placed on his countenance.
