40 You have to know the reality of your relationship with the person you speak so highly of. (2/2)

Again, he just shrugged.

He remained deep in thought for a few minutes as he and Mi-Young followed Yuri dutifully around the mall, her seemingly unending itinerary bringing them everywhere there's a designer item. Just as the three of them exited a jewelry shop near the mall atrium, Park Kyung-Wan stopped on his tracks to look at something.

Or rather... Someone.

'Oh, I almost forgot...' Park Kyung-Wan smiled to himself. He waited until the small assistant was out of earshot before he grabbed his sister by the elbow, effectively stopping her in her tracks.

”Yuri-ah,” he said before Yuri can begin with her expletives. ”I just thought you should know. Your boyfriend and his fiancée are here too.”

He nodded towards the direction of a famous jewelry store, Glamour.

Yuri stared at her brother for a few good seconds before moving her gaze towards the jewelry shop. Her face, which was graceful for all her appearance today, contorted with mild fury as she watched her own 'boyfriend' laughing and chatting animatedly with the Chung heiress as they entered the jewelry store.

'Don't tell me...' her brows furrowed. 'They're on a date? It's not even lunch time!'

Her thoughts went askew as she tried to rationalize what she saw.

Song Hyun-Shik came in his work clothes, his casual retro suit. And from the looks of things, so did Chung Ji-Eun, with her dress and blazer.

'It's a work day and it's still early. So, why are they together?'

Yuri felt an overwhelming wave of anger.

'It's been days since he last talked to me! A message? Not even! And now he's here with that wench?! I didn't agree on this arrangement just so you could push me aside, Song Hyun-Shik! You can't have your cake and eat it too!'

Fueled by her silent rage, she began to move towards the direction of the store, but stopped when she felt her brother's hand tightened on her arm.

”Park Kyung-Wan,” she gritted her teeth in an effort not to shout.

”You're really going to embarrass yourself, dear Sister, if you go there now,” he said lazily. ”Just wait for him to call you. He'll come to you soon.”

”I don't care what you-”

”Sister Yuri?” Mi-Young saw Yuri struggling with her 'driver's' hand on her elbow. ”Is there something wrong?”

Park Kyung-Wan adjusted his hold a little as Mi-Young came closer to the still struggling Bae Yuri.

”She said she feels a little ill and would like to leave now,” he said as he prevented his sister from rushing towards the store. ”Come on, little girl.”

Park Kyung-Wan held the struggling Yuri firmly as he led her away from the store and towards the elevators that would take them to the parking area of the mall, his sister's little assistant following closely behind them.

He inwardly smiled at the result of his ministrations as he observed Yuri's silent fury. In fact, he got more than what he bargained for with his sister's reaction at seeing the actual pair live in the flesh. He didn't want to say it, but he felt oddly satisfied with Yuri's show of anger at this simple interaction.

'That's right, little Sister. Do not be complacent. Fear your position. You have to know the reality of your relationship with the person you speak so highly of.'
