11 I have been tainted (1/2)
Next day, Ji Won returns home from the concert with Park Na Young. Park Na Young doesn't stay long at her home. She goes back to her house. She is mad at Nam Ji Won for not hurting Slow Poison. Nam Ji Won is unapologetic about her actions.
At evening, she checks the messages on her spare phone.
She has received many 'break up' requests. She ignores them, but she checks the texts from Lee Hyo Rin.
[Where are you? Let's meet today. My treat.]
[I broke up with my boyfriend. Can we meet, Oppa? I am sad.]
[Oppa, are you ignoring me? Are you tired of me now?]
[Oppa, I want to see you once.]
[Oppa, are you done with me?]
[Meet me once after you come back, Ji Won.]
Ji Won rubs her eyes and reread the message. Did Hyo Rin called her Ji Won? Was it a mistake? She couldn't believe it. Her cover is blown up. Who is this Lee Hyo Rin?
[If you don't meet me, I will meet your father.]
Ji Won gulped. She immediately replies.
[I will meet you. Don't do anything rash.]
Her phone beeps after a minute.
[Let's meet tomorrow at 4 PM. The same cafe.]
Ji Won curses Lee Hyo Rin's seven ancestors. Her business is over.
She checks the next text.
[Do you have siblings, Hyung?]
[Where are you now?]
Ji Won is surprised to see that text. She guesses that it is from Seo Tae Il because he is the only one who calls her 'Hyung' sometimes. Her targets usually call her 'Oppa'. What did this little punk find out? How did he even get her number? Did Lee Hyo-Rin give him the number? That could happen.
Her head is hurting. She should stop doing these things.
Then, he wouldn't have called her 'Hyung' if he knew. She decides to send a reply.
[1 brother and 1 sister. Why do you ask? ]
Seo Tae Il reads the text. His doubts start to clear away. That wild girl might be Jimin's sister. That explains the resemblance. She is in high school anyway. Jimin is studying in college. Besides, it is unlikely that a girl would dress up as a boy to flirt with girls and causes break up.
[Never mind, I was just curious. ]
Ji Won smiles when she reads the text. Nosy Kitten!
After she returns home with Park Na Young, She decides to meet her after a few days. She meets her in the same cafeteria where they met for the first time. Nam Ji Won decides to meet her as Ju Jimin instead of her real self.
”Oppa, you are here.” Hyo Rin smiles brightly.
”Haha...” Ji Won takes a seat opposite of her. Lee Hyo Rin acts like she didn't call her 'Ji Won' in the text. She orders coffee for them nonchalantly.
”I thought that you would come as your real self.” Lee Hyo Rin picks up her coffee cup. ”You are quite confident, 'Oppa'?”
”How long?” Ji Won shrugs. What is the big deal if she finds out? At most, she has to stop what she is doing. She doesn't want to be afraid of this person.
”I have heard of rumours of a boy who takes requests to break up couples.” Lee Hyo Rin seems amused. Her real personality is really different than her usual fake personality. Ji Won couldn't decide who the real 'Lee Hyo Rin' is.
”So?”
”That day, Tae Il also said that you are a couple breaker.” Hyon Rin smiles softly. ”I looked into you and found out that he was telling the truth. Your real name is Nam Ji Won. You have two siblings. Both are studying in college right now. Your father was a cop, but he owns a restaurant right now. You are eighteen years old and studying in the first year of high school. You are actually two years older than your classmate. When you were young, you had a sickly body. That's why you started school late. Nearly a year ago, your boyfriend broke up with you for someone else. Since then, you have been breaking up the couples.”
”You have done your homework.” Ji Won is irritated. Lee Hyo Rin should leave her family alone.
”Oh, don't worry.” Hyo-Rin waves her hand. ”I am not interested in your family. I am interested in you.”
