Chapter 103 - No friendship (1/2)

What happened to your hand?" Chaewon questioned whilst looking up from her meal.

Swallowing down the stir-fried radish that Jinhee fed her, Taehee answered, "Just an accident."

"You, youngsters, need to be more careful," The director voiced out, "This wound of yours might leave a scar judging by how it is bandaged."

Subconsciously, Jinhee tightened her grip around the chopsticks, and she bit her lip hard whilst drowning herself in the sea of self-condemnation. No girl— actually no one for that matter— would be happy with such a nasty scar on her body.

"I don't mind though, Ahjusshi, because this is making my little squirrel feed me willingly with tenderness," Taehee voiced out. The joy she felt could be deciphered from her tone.

Instead of scowling at Taehee, a small smile formed on Jinhee's face. Whether or not Taehee knew it, her words lightened Jinhee's mood up.

"I don't understand the friendship between the kids these days," The director commented.

"There's no friendship between them in the first place, so how will you understand it?" Hwang Myunghoon, Jaehyun's assistant, mumbled.

Nonetheless, the words reached Jinhee's ears, and she shot him a curious glance. What did he mean by those words of his?

As the four of them— Taehee, Jinhee, Jaehyun, and Chaewon— stepped out of the restaurant. A content look sat on their faces.

"This was one of the best meals I had!" Taehee exclaimed.

Putting her arm over Jaehyun's shoulder, she added, "Thanks, Jaehyunnie, for treating me."

"If you don't remove your arm from around me, I can assure you that this will be your last meal," Jaehyun voiced out threateningly.

"Aish! You're too unfriendly!" Taehee groaned. Nonetheless, she removed her hand from his shoulder.

"You ate the meal paid by me," Jaehyun reminded.

"No wonder my stomach has been acting weird," Taehee voiced out, "I think I'll throw up."

"And you said it was your best meal," Jinhee mumbled under her breath.

"I have an idea!" Taehee exclaimed all of a sudden, attracting all of their attention.

Staring at Taehee, the three of them waited for her to continue. A smile formed on Taehee's face whilst she voiced out, "Let's go karaoke tomorrow and compete there!"

"Are you planning to lose that badly?" Jinhee questioned, surprising herself. She wanted to avoid talking to Taehee yet she could not resist commenting.

"You never know, little squirrel; We might have more potential than the legendary Kim Jaehyun!" Taehee said with a joyful expression, adding a wink at the end.

"Bullshit!" Jinhee exclaimed.

"I'm up for it; It sounds fun," Chaewon said with a slight smile on her face, astonishing Jinhee. Jinhee thought that Chaewon would be the first one to object to this.
