37 Did you two fight? (1/2)
”Where are you going with him?” Tae Il pulls her to his side possessively and scowls at Choi Min Ho. Choi Min Ho shakes his head. Why is he facing the wrath of a jealous man? He has no such intention.
”Nowhere.” Ji Won's voice is shaky. She is stuck. ”Tae Il, you should go back now. I have to go home.”
”No, I want to eat Eomeoni's food.” He presses the word 'Eomeoni'. ”She treats me like family. I will stay over tonight. There is no room for someone else.”
”Tae Il, weren't you worried about rumours? What if reporters catch you here?” Ji Won asks him seriously. ”There is already the mall scandal. They are asking who I am. If anyone catches you staying at my home, that will ruin your career.”
”I don't care.” Tae Il understands her tactics. ”I am not going. You tell me where are you going.”
”Why should I tell you?” Ji Won crosses her arms in anger.
”Let him come.” Choi Min Ho decides to chime in. They will end up spending the night at the park if this argument goes on.
”Are you sure?” Ji Won creases her brows. ”Why should he come?”
”I need him for something.” Choi Min Ho smiles faintly. ”Let's go.”
Tae Il doesn't like it that Ji Won is listening to Choi Min Ho more than him. She is even allowing him to come to her house because of this fox. He has been with her for more than five years. She listens to someone else like this. This is an injustice.
Nam Go Eun and Mother Nam are surprised to see Choi Min Ho and Seo Tae Il. But they don't ask anything after seeing Nam Ji Won's expression. In the living room, they quietly watch each other. Nam Ji Won feels like she is stuck between a wild cat and a cunning fox.
”You are Ji Won's friend from the hospital?” Mother Nam recognizes Choi Min Ho.
”Ah!” Nam Go Eun remembers. ”I felt like I have seen you somewhere. It's been a while. How are you doing now?”
”It's been a while.” Choi Min Ho greets them. ”How have you been, Eomeoni? And you, Go Eun?”
Tae Il glares at Choi Min Ho. He is happily chatting with Mother Nam and Go Eun. He looks at nervous Ji Won. What's the relationship between these two? Does she like him? Is that why she said that she hated it? But, why would she cry? No, what's the relationship between these two? Why did he say that he helped her recover her memories? How long has it been? Earlier, she didn't remember. Did she remember after coming back home? In the last few hours? Can people recover memories this fast? Who should he ask?
”It's already dinner time.” Mother Nam looks at the clock. ”Min Ho, you can't leave without having dinner.”
”Actually, I have been invited by Ji Won to stay here for the night,” Choi Min Ho tells her.
Nam Go Eun and Mother Nam glance at Ji Won.
”I have invited him to stay here for the night.” Ji Won cuts him before he can finish.
”She also invited me to stay here for the night,” Tae Il says in a grumpy tone.
”You don't need the invitation, Tae Il.” Mother Nam smiles at him lightly. ”You can stay here as long as you want. Whenever you want.”
”Thank you, Eomeoni.” Tae Il smirks at Choi Min Ho.
Nam Go Eun has been quietly observing the wild cat, whiny puppy, and the fox. She finds the exchange a bit odd. Is Tae Il actually jealous of Choi Min Ho? Where did Choi Min Ho suddenly come from?
