Chapter 98 - Witch (1/2)

"You'll get the answer," Taeho voiced out, "Only after you agree to be my fiancé."

No matter how much curious she was, was it worth enough to potentially risk everything? Then again, Taeho will also be keeping her safe from Kwon Youngmi.

"If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't need to take such measures. It would be a matter of seconds for me," Taeho pointed out after noticing Jinhee's hesitancy.

There are no mistakes within Taeho's words, and Jinhee had to agree with him. With or without being his fiancé, Taeho would be able to do anything to her if he desired for it.

Jinhee sighed.

"Alright, I suppose I can agree to being your temporary fiancé," Jinhee answered.

She, then, added, "Why are you helping me?"

Finishing his cup of cappuccino, Taeho voiced out, "Making up for my past sins?"

'Past sins? Could it be—No way!'

"Were you given a second chance as well?" Jinhee gasped.

Jinhee walked on the beach on her way back to the hotel. Her earlier conversation with Taeho was stuck in her mind, and the entire situation sounded unbelievable to her.

Luckily, she did not need to keep a watch on Jaehyun anymore since Akane returned to Tokyo immediately after the shooting was over in the morning. This made her feel relieved.

The fear because of Youngmi's return, conflicted feelings due to Taehee and her birth father, and now this surprise— Her emotions were overwhelming at this moment. This life of hers was really eventful.

"Yeah, at about the same time as you," Taeho voiced out, staring at Jinhee with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Blinking her eyes multiple times, Jinhee tried to sink in the words Taeho threw at her, and the surprise was evident on her face.

This was not something Jinhee had expected. Then again, her current life was not something Jinhee had ever thought would happen. When that truck hit her, she was sure that was the last moment for her.

'I did not know that he was given a second chance but how did he?'

"How did you know that I was given a second chance?" Jinhee asked. Confusion and curiosity— both played on her face currently.

"It was a premonition, I suppose," Taeho voiced out, digging his fork into the cake and picking it up.
