Chapter 247 - The bud (1/2)
The breakfast for today was Japanese styled for her Grandfather Dowon had wished for it to be like this, and after staring at him, Jinhee had a slight clue on why he wanted so.
He must have been reminiscing about her Grandmother and Mother. At time, Jinhee found him too pitiful. At his age, he had no one around him that he could trust, and in her last life, she turned out to be a disappointment.
Thinking about that made her heart clench painfully, and raising her head to look towards him, a bright smile was upon her face. She was determined to not let him feel lonely in this life of hers.
”Grandfather Dowon, I was craving for Japanese meal for a long time, and this tastes absolutely delicious,” Jinhee vocalised as she extended her chopsticks toward the salmon.
As Lee Dowon's lips curved slightly upward, he said, ”Then, have more of it. There is enough for seconds, and satisfy your hunger completely before the exam. You wouldn't perform as efficiently with an empty stomach.”
Jinhee nodded and vocalized, ”Yes, Grandpa Dowon, I will be eating to my heart's content.”
”Good.”
The entire time Han Taehyun had a wide smile upon his face, which he had a hard time removing, and holding Jinhee's other hand under the table, he felt an inexplicable rush of joy within him.
In order to feel Jinhee's warmth more, he tightly gripped Jinhee's hand, and thinking that he wanted something, turning her head, Jinhee looked at Taehyun. Raising one of her eyebrows, she stared at him.
Shaking his head, Taehyun indicated that it was nothing.
Looking towards Han Taehyun, Lee Yeeun, Hyunki's mother, asked, ”Taeher, since you're our Jinhee's friend, it wouldn't be a problem for you to invite us to your house, right?”
As there was a sparkle in her eyes, Yeeun shamelessly vocalised, ”I have always wanted to see how the Han Mansion completely was like, and as you're our Jinhee's friend, this is only proper.
Moreover, our Jinhee is your brother's, Han Taeho's, fiancée. Visiting Han Mansion during parties just seems too formal, and now, we are families.”
Even though Lee Jinhee did not consider Lee Yeeun to be her family, this was too embarrassing for her as they were connected in name.
Before Lee Jinhee could answer with something, Han Taehyun pressed on her hand tightly, indicating her to not say anything, and looking up towards Lee Yeeun, Taehyun showed her a friendly expression.
”Sure, you're invited, Lee Yeeun-ssi, but currently, my parents are out of the country, and I am not exactly fit for taking care of the guests,” Taehyun voiced out.
Biting her lips, Jinhee held in her urge to let out a laughter. Han Taehyun clearly demoted Lee Yeeun from a family to a mere guest. Nevertheless, knowing how Yeeun wasn't exactly that bright, she wouldn't able to get the hint of it.
