Chapter 27 - Chasing you (2/2)

The anger on his face eased considerably, and it was replaced with a deprecatory countenance. This bought confusion to Jinhee for Jaehyun rarely wore on that expression on his face.

"Sorry," Jaehyun mumbled, causing Jinhee's eyes to widen.

His voice was soft to the point Jinhee found the entire thing to be the fragment of her imagination, and the surprise could be detected from her features.

Her heart started to beat faster, and the pale cheeks of her began to be coloured with red. She finally felt conscious of the distance between them both and was afraid that Jaehyun would hear her rapid heartbeat.

Curiosity got the best of Jinhee, and she asked, "What did you warn them about?"

Jaehyun walked with Jinhee in his arms at a steady pace and was careful to not let any uncomfortableness come to her.

"I pulled out my investment from Hyesook's father's project," Jaehyun answered.

Even though Jaehyun left it incomplete, Jinhee could figure the rest of the thing out, and it left her quite shocked. Why would he do such a thing for her?

After all, Jaehyun was not someone to mix business and personal life, and this was something Jinhee was well-aware of in her previous life.

"Why did you do this for me? Why are you doing all these for me? We're not even close in the first place," Jinhee spoke out— her tone portraying the emotional mess she was now.

If Jaehyun were to be this good to her, she was afraid that she wouldn't forget about these feelings and once again, latch herself on to Jaehyun. She did not want to go to that humiliating extent.

Moreover, why couldn't Jaehyun be this nice at her previous life? If he was, then probably she could've gotten a peaceful death and not be reborn as a vengeful spirit.

"Because I'm chasing you," Jaehyun confessed, causing for Jinhee's heart to skip a beat and mind to become blank.
