Chapter 163 - Surgery (1/2)
Lifting her face up gradually, Lee Jinkyung stared at Han Taehyun in front of her. Her knees, elbows, and nose ached the most. Seeing her state, Han Taehyun closed his eyes for a second whilst deep inside he felt extreme joy and sense of achievement.
'After this, that nose of hers is going to require surgery.'
Blood flowed down Lee Jinkyung's nose whilst a bump was starting to form on her forehead. Worry on Han Taehyun's face intensified while Lee Jinkyung wanted to disappear at this moment due to embarrassment.
If it was not for Han Taehee being late and conversing with her there, this wouldn't have happened. Yesterday, if Lee Jinhee did not hang up the call so abruptly, then Jinkyung did not have to come here.
Her eyes gave away her current feelings easily at this moment, and when she realized glaring at Han Taehee, Lee Jinkyung blinked her eyes immediately. Tears formed at the corner of her eyes, and her lips quivered.
"This is horrible! Let me help you up," Han Taehyun spoke out.
Holding her shoulders, Taehyun tried to pull her up, and Lee Jinkyung put on her best pitiful expression. Her knees and elbows burned painfully, and she could feel the warm liquid dripping down her nose.
Standing up with Han Taehyun's help, Lee Jinkyung raised her hand to hold her nose and stop the blood flow. Nonetheless, blood covered the part of her face below the nose.
As Han Taehyun began to walk, he pretended to stumble and loosened his grip on Lee Jinkyung. Losing her stability, Lee Jinkyung fell down on the ground again with her knees supporting her this time around. A piercing pain went through her knee, and a scream left Lee Jinkyung's mouth.
"I'm so sorry. I just lost my balance now," Han Taehyun voiced out before supporting Lee Jinkyung up.
Lee Jinkyung had no strength left within her to reply to Taehee or curse at her internally. Closing her eyes slightly, she let her support inside the grand mansion. In the midst of her agony, Lee Jinkyung was not able to properly enjoy the beauty of her surroundings.
Placing Lee Jinkyung down on the floor, Han Taehyun stood up straight and let out heavy breaths, showing how tired he was— although I actuality he was not even slightly tired.
"I don't think I can continue anyone. You sit here, and I'll get the first aid kit for you," Taehyun spoke out before turning his back on Jinkyung and walking away.
Lee Jinkyung did not like the idea of sitting down on the ground. Immense pain spread through her body rapidly, and leaning against the wall behind her, Jinkyung prayed for the pain to stop.
She had no energy to hold her nose any longer, and placing her hand down, Lee Jinkyung closed her eyes shut. Due to the aches, Jinkyung could not even lose her consciousness properly and escape the current agony.
Once she gained back energy, she will definitely get back at that Lee Jinhee.

Sitting at one of the chairs in the library, Lee Jinhee stared at the contents of the book although her mind was not exactly on it. After Jinkyung and Taehyun had entered into the mansion, Jinhee decided to find a book to read inside the library.
The door to the library opened at that moment, and turning her head, Lee Jinhee stared at the direction of the door. Han Taehyun rushed into the library with a wide smile on her face.
Stopping in his steps when he was in front of Lee Jinhee, Han Taehyun questioned, "So, how do you think I was at this moment?"
