Chapter 218 - Try this dish (2/2)

”Jinhee, do you hate your father?” Minjoon asked. If Dowon and Taeho weren't present, Minjoon would have lashed out at her and teach her a lesson.

”Father, do you think you deserve my hate? After all, I am the fiance of Taeho, and I have too much on my schedule. I don't have time to hate on insignificant people,” Jinhee voiced out.

Extending his hand, Lee Dowon patted Jinhee's head and said, ”Eat up now. No need to destroy your mood over such things. You must be really hungry.”

Feeling warmth from Dowon's actions, she nodded and looked down at her meals. Seeing how Minjoon's expression darkened, Jinhee had a smirk forming on her face. She was getting under Minjoon's skin. Sooner or later, Minjoon would attack her.

”Are you trying to purposely anger your father?” Taehyun asked.

Both of them sat in front of Jinhee's study table, and currently at this moment, he was teaching her. Looking up, Jinhee stared at Taehyun and nodded in reply to him.

Lee Jinhee found herself trusting him and saw nothing wrong with telling him the truth. Moreover, if Taehyun was involved, maybe she could do everything more smoothly, and Taeho did not say anything against informing him about all this .

”I want to remove Lee Minjoon from his position,” Jinhee vocalised.

”So, that's why you are trying to plot against him?” Taehyun raised one of his eyebrows.

Extending his hand towards her, Taehyun patted her head and vocalised, ”Good job, My Little Squirrel!”

Shooting Taehyun a confused glance, Jinhee expressed, ”You wouldn't ask me why I am doing such a thing? After all, he is my father and—”

Before Jinhee could continue, Taehyun brought his face closer to Jinhee's face and placed a kiss on top of her forehead, surprising her and causing her to shut up. Jinhee's eyes widened.

”Even if you're doing something wrong, I will help you correct it, Jinhee-ah. So, continue doing whatever you want, and treat this as your playground,” Taehyun vocalised.

Taehyun's words made a deep red blush form on Jinhee's cheeks, raising her head, Jinhee stared at him. Her heart beat rapidly within her chest and butterflies began fluttering within her stomach.

It felt warm, and Jinhee liked this feeling.

”Aren't you spoiling me way too much? What if I do something that you would really hate one day?” Jinhee asked whilst arching her eyebrows.

”How can I ever hate you, Jinhee? Taehyun wouldn't exist without you,” Taehyun vocalised.

”Greasy Taehyun, are you done? Let's study now,” Jinhee said whilst staring at the floor and curling up her toes.

Taehyun chuckled and vocalised, ”Alright. That's enough for now. I'll shower you with more love once studying is over. Happy?”

Jinhee scoffed and said, ”What's there to be happy about? As I said before, too many people want to shower me with love.”

”But I am the only one who managed to enter your heart, right? I know my Jinhee isn't that frivolous,” Taehyun voiced out.

”Why? My heart is big, and I can share love with many. There's a misconception you have there though. You did not manage to enter my—”

”I was your first kiss, right?” Taehyun questioned.

Jinhee began coughing. She did not know how to answer that question. In this life of hers, he was her first kiss. However, if her previous life was counted then, Taehyun was not her first kiss.

”I have no idea. I keep no count,” Jinhee answered. A part within her did not want to answer with 'no' towards Taehyun.
