Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 113

Kiaraa mindlessly ran in a random direction as if she was dizzy and needed to get away from Ian as soon as possible.

Tears were now flowing from her eyes as she was crying terribly.

Song Ji Hun followed her but he was keeping a safe distance from her to ensure she is not aware of his presence.

Earlier, Song Ji Hun reached the amusement park even before Ian and Kiaraa.

He parked his car near the entrance and waited for them.

When Ian and Kiaraa were about to enter the premises of the park, Song Ji Hun noticed them and followed the two people by keeping a safe distance.

He felt like a stalker following them like this but he threw away the feeling of righteousness as he wished to witness this proposal.

He wanted to see how Kiaraa will react to Ian’s confession.

Even if she happily accepts it, he wished to witness it as he felt he would be able to move on with his life only after witnessing everything first hand.

After following them to the proposal destination, Song Ji Hun was able to hide himself easily due to the darkness.

He then witnessed the lavish proposal of Ian and made up his mind that Kiaraa will accept it but when he saw Kiaraa’s reaction and how she freaked out, Song Ji Hun got worried and stayed alert.

The moment Kiaraa pushed Ian and ran away, Song Ji Hun was able to follow her without being noticed by Ian as he was hiding near the starting point of this place.

He kept up with Kiaraa’s speed and followed her to a fountain where she ran towards to.

Kiaraa got tired from running and sat on a bench in front of the fountain.

She covered her face with her hands and sobbed continuously, tears were not ready to stop from falling down from her eyes.

This was the first time Song Ji Hun saw Kiaraa crying and his heart wrenched in pain.

No matter what Kiaraa went through all these years, no matter the fights or arguments she faced, she never cried.

Even academically if she came across any hurdle, she faced it like a champ and crossed it but not once she broke down like this.

Song Ji Hun couldn’t stand afar and just watch the love of his life cry like this.

He therefore, went ahead and sat next to her.

Even if Kiaraa sees him and wonders what he is doing here, he decided to explain himself and not bother about such things.

Kiaraa was still crying covering her face in her palms.

He could hear her light cries and it was enough for Song Ji Hun to conclude how affected she was.

Song Ji Hun took out a black handkerchief that he always carries on him, as it was gifted to him by his cousin Alex Kwon.

He forwarded the handkerchief to Kiaraa, “Here, take this” he said to the girl crying continuously.

Kiaraa was still crying when she heard a deep voice of a man.

She knew it was not Ian and some stranger as she recognizes Ian’s voice very well.

She slowly opened her eyes and there was a hand in front of her offering her a black handkerchief.

Her eyes was dazy and her mind was not functioning, in reflex, she took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Her head was lowered as she didn’t wish for the person next to her to witness her state, so she avoided looking at that person altogether.

“Thankyou” she softly muttered and focused on wiping  her tears.

Song Ji Hun didn’t say a word and just sat next to her.

No matter how many times Kiaraa wiped her tears, they were not stopping.

“I am sorry for ruining your kerchief” Kiaraa said in a broken voice.

“It’s okay, as long as you stop crying” Song Ji Hun said.

Kiaraa was surprised when she heard this man’s words which felt familiar but she didn’t turn around to see the man’s face as she was still not ready for anyone to see her cry.

The foremost thing Kiaraa hates the most in her life is crying and the second thing is someone witnessing it.

Kiaraa believes crying is an action only for weak people and she is too strong for this.

Showing this weakness of hers to anyone is a much bigger deal for her and therefore she rather hide her face and avoid looking at people then show herself crying.

But when she heard Song Ji Hun say as long as she stops crying, it is fine even if handkerchief is ruined, she had the urge to look at the person next to her.

Only if not for her stubbornness, she definitely would have checked who this person is.

“Do I know you?” Kiaraa suddenly asked the guy next to her.

She couldn’t stop herself from asking this.

Song Ji Hun was taken aback by her question but he chose to lie, “No, we are strangers”

“Then why are you here? Why do you care if I cry?” Kiaraa asked him, still sobbing uncontrollably.

Seeing her state, Song Ji Hun had the urge to hug her but he knows he shouldn’t.

“For the sake of humanity” He answered her and added, “At times, in situations like these, having a  stranger’s presence around is better than being with our own people”

His casually said words to justify his own presence hit the right chord with Kiaraa and she felt he was right.

Kiaraa was not sure it was his magnificent voice or his deep rooted words that were affecting her, but she agreed with everything he was saying and his voice was comforting her.

They both sat there in silence for a while.

Kiaraa was still crying, while Song Ji Hun helplessly looked at her state.

After a few minutes, Kiaraa suddenly spoke up, “My childhood bestfriend, who means a lot to me, suddenly confessed that he has been in love with me all these years”

Kiaraa was not sure why she was sharing this with a stranger but she really wished to talk about what she was feeling right now.

Her heart felt heavy and it can get lighter only after she speaks her heart out.

Her voice was choking as she was still sobbing and her head was lowered down.

Song Ji Hun was surprised when she suddenly started sharing her thoughts but he didn’t interrupt her and neither did he pester her to speak further.

Satisfied with not getting any response from the man next to her, Kiaraa continued, “I am not interested in things like love and relationships. I have bigger goals in life to achieve. I don’t believe in wasting my time in other distractions.”

She took a deep breath before saying, “But when Ian confessed his feelings to me, I felt like I lost my bestfriend forever. Things are never going to be the same again between us now. I was therefore hoping he was joking about his feelings but I could see in his eyes and feel in his voice how much he truly loves me. The thought of breaking someone’s heart, who always meant so much to me, turned me weak and I started crying imagining my fallen friendship with him.”

Kiaraa spoke everything that came to her mind and Song Ji Hun was understanding her perception.

“I am even thinking of just saying yes to his proposal to not lose him but I don’t want this. I don’t want a boyfriend or a relationship. I am going to start a new phase in my life and I want to focus on shaping my career but I also don’t want to lose my bestfriend. I don’t even know what I should do?

Kiaraa frustratedly said and held her head between her handa and lowered it down, almost notching her hair.

“Why the fuck did Ian fall for me out of all the girls in this world? Why the hell did he complicate everything? What is wrong with him?”

Kiaraa shouted in frustration still holding her head and bending slightly downwards.

Song Ji Hun slightly smiled and patted her back, “The solution to your problem is not very complicated” he assured her.

“Oh really? Then please tell me what’s the solution?” Kiaraa asked him still hiding her face.

“Just talk it out and explain your points to your friend. Tell him your priorities are set and being in love is not something you ever look forward to. If he is truly your friend and genuinely loves you then he will respect your decision and will go back to being your bestfriend like he always has been but if he choses to ignore your opinion and continues to pursue you then you are smart enough to cut him off from your life”

Song Ji Hun honestly shared his opinion and the next minute he saw Ian appear there, he was at a distance searching for Kiaraa around.

Song Ji Hun immediately stood up from there and left the place before Ian could spot him.

Kiaraa, who had her head lowered down and was still processing Song Ji Hun’s advice didn’t even realise he already left from there.
