Chapter 15 - Where did you find this funny man? (1/2)
”Call me when you are done.” Manager Jeong glances at their hands once. ”Don't forget. If you break it off, there will be no chocolate for you ever.”
”That's cruel.” Right now, Kang Si An is craving chocolates actually. Everything is stressing him out a lot.
”Don't get into trouble.” Manager Jeong warns them and then, she gets into the car.
”Why I am doing this?” Kwon Kyuri mumbles to herself while watching the car run away from them. Kang Si An sighs heavily. He is wearing a mask and sunglasses to not attract attention. It's not much helpful. Even if he hides his face, Kwon Kyuri is famous now as his girlfriend.
”Let go of my hand now.” She tries to shake his hand off, wildly. ”Everyone is watching us.”
”I can't let go.” He nearly shouts at her. ”Didn't you hear her warning?”
”For chocolates?” She lifts her hand near his neck, bȧrėly resisting the urge to break his neck. Her face contorts with anger. ”Kang Si An, she is not here now. She won't find out.”
”She can tell.” Kang Si An recalls the times when Manager Jeong could always find out when he lied. ”That person is not human. She can tell by looking.”

”Why are you holding his hand?” My elder brother asks me with a straight face.
”We are...doing...a type of college activity to spread friendship...” I wreak my brain to come up with a lie. Lying to my family especially him has never been easy. They can easily guess it. I can fool the entire world, but not them.
”Nice to meet you. My name is Kang Si An.” Kang Si An takes off his sunglasses and mask. ”I am her boyfriend.”
”...” You are not supposed to say that.
”Boyfriend?” My elder brother takes a glance at me and then, he watches him carefully. ”I saw the news. I know my sister. I can tell that your relationship is fake.”
”That's not true.” Kang Si An leans closer to me. ”I know that it is hard to believe.”
I whisper to him. ”Do you want to die?”
”Are you threatening me?” He whispers back. ”I am trying to...”
