Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 116

Next day as soon as Kiaraa woke up, she had her bath and rushed downstairs to have breakfast with her family.

Chu Yu Ri was surprised to see Kiaraa wake up so soon during her holidays.

“Did the sun rise from the west today?” Chu Yu Ri questioned her daughter.

“No idea mom, it usually rises from the east” Kiaraa couldn’t sense the sarcasm in her mom’s tone and served breakfast for herself.

“I mean why did you wake up so early on a holiday?” Chu Yu Ri asked her.

“I wanted to have a word with you and dad” Kiaraa informed her mom and just then Lee Myung Soo joined them.

“Wow, my daughter is already up and ready. Impressive” he commented seeing Kiaraa.

“Yeah, so you should reward me.” Kiaraa cheekily smiled at her dad.

Lee Myung Soo laughed at her antics, “What reward does my daughter want?” He asked her.

“Dad, there’s a famous fashion designer named Alex Kwon, I want an appointment with him”

From all the research that Kiaraa did, she understood meeting Alex Kwon was not an easy job.

She can’t just call his office and book an appointment without any solid reason.

He was one busy man.

She realised she has to use her dad’s connections to get this appointment so here she was making this request.

“Why do you want an appointment with a fashion designer? Are you having second thoughts on your career?” Lee Myung Soo worriedly asked.

“What? No. I just have some work with him” Kiaraa was not sure what excuse to come up with.

“What kind of work?” Chu Yu Ri suspiciously asked her while Kiaraa’s father too seriously waited for an answer as he too wondered what work she has with a renowned designer.

Kiaraa tried to think harder for an excuse and suddenly an idea stuck her.

“Aera, won ‘Rookie of the year’ award in Korean Music Awards so I want to gift her a designer dress that she could wear for the award ceremony. For that I want to meet Alex Kwon”

Kiaraa used Aera’s award as an excuse but her parents were still not convinced.

“You can just go to one of his showrooms and buy a dress for Aera, why do you have to personally meet him for it?” Lee Myung Soo asked his daughter.

Kiaraa smiled to herself as her father asked her the perfect question.

“Alex Kwon only designs dresses for adults not for children. That’s why I want to personally request him to design a dress for Aera.”

Last night, Kiaraa studied the whole work of Alex Kwon and was familiar with his style.

So, she was able to come up with this excuse.

“Then go for some other designer, why are you taking the hard way?” Chu Yu Ri asked her daughter.

“Because I want Aera to have the best of everything.”

When Kiaraa said this Lee Myung Soo and Chu Yu Ri felt very happy.

Although the relationship between the sisters was still not very great, it wasn’t as bad as it used to be a few years ago.

Counselling sessions really helped Kiaraa in hating her sister less than before.

“Fine, let me see what I can do” Lee Myung Soo assured his daughter and Kiaraa took a sigh of relief.

“Also, today I am planning to meet Ms Baek Ma-Ri.” Kiaraa informed her parents and they just nodded their heads.

After breakfast, Lee Myung Soo and Chu Yu Ri went to work while Kiaraa went to meet Baek Ma-Ri.

At Baek Ma-Ri’s place, Kiaraa comfortably sat down and informed her of what happened with Ian last night.

During her interaction with Kiaraa, Baek Ma-Ri already predicted Ian’s feelings towards her but she never implied it to Kiaraa as that was not her job.

So, she wasn’t very surprised after knowing Kiaraa’s reaction as she expected all of this.

After listening to Kiaraa’s plan of avoiding Ian, Baek Ma-Ri suggested she take all of this with a pinch of salt and try not to ruin her friendship of so many years.

She advised Kiaraa on how to deal with Ian and Kiaraa promised to do so.

Later, Kiaraa shared about the stranger she met at the amusement park with her counsellor, who asked her to not dwell too much about it and to let go of it as a passing memory.

But Kiaraa was not convinced by Baek Ma-Ri’s suggestion, so for now she didn’t reveal about her research on the handkerchief and how she suspects Alex Kwon to be the guy she met at the amusement park.

Kiaraa pretended like she was agreeing with Baek Ma-Ri’s suggestion and decided to pursue Alex Kwon all by herself without anyone’s help.

…

Next day Song Ji Hwan woke up and checked on his brother, who was studying seriously.

He decided to not disturb Song Ji Hun and went to call Ian.

Since he believed Kiaraa accepted Ian’s proposal and they are together, he decided to try to be happy for his two best friends and congratulate them.

When Ian received Song Ji Hwan’s call, he was not very surprised as he was expecting it.

Holding his head in pain, Ian answered the phone.

He was the one to involve Song Ji Hwan in all his plans, so he can’t avoid him, Ian therefore decided to inform what happened to Hwan and get done with it.

“So, Ian, how did it go?” Song Ji Hwan tried to sound cheerful and he pretended like he had no idea of what happened as he can’t throw his brother under the bus.

“She rejected me” Ian directly answered surprising Hwan.

“Is it that thing, where you say she rejected you then I’ll console you and you will reveal she accepted the proposal?” Song Ji Hwan truly believed so.

“Oh god, why are you and my parents so alike. Hwan, she indeed rejected me”

Ian then informed him of everything that happened in detail.

Song Ji Hwan was surprised as this story didn’t match with what Song Ji Hun told him.

“I am sorry, Ian” What else could Hwan say after knowing what his friend went through.

“It’s okay, I have to accept it and move on. Kiaraa’s comfort is what matters the most. She is scared of losing me and I assured her she won’t. I’ll keep my promise”

Ian didn’t share his plans of waiting for her till the day she accepted him, as he wished to keep it to himself.

“You are a nice person, Ian” Song Ji Hwan finally said as he felt bad for Ian.

“Thanks for saying that, means a lot”

After some casual talk, Song Ji Hwan hung up this call and went to confront his brother.

Song Ji Hwan directly entered Song Ji Hun’s room, not bothering to knock or take his permission.

“Hyung, did you lie to me yesterday?” Hwan almost shouted at his brother.

“Hmm, I wanted to be alone and didn’t wish to share all the details.” Song Ji Hun knew Hwan would anyway find out, so he wasn’t very surprised.

“How could you do this to me? Did you know I couldn’t sleep well last night thinking how upset you must have been.”

“I am sorry, I was really not in the mood to talk and there was no other way to get rid of you and Yang Nam-il.” Song Ji Hun frankly said.

“Gosh! You are way too honest” Hwan sat on the couch, still looking angry.

“Chill now, Kiaraa rejected him and even expressed how she won’t be interested in love and relationships. So, the good news is we don’t have to worry about other guys”

Song Ji Hun informed Song Ji Hwan to help his brother feel better.

“Shouldn’t you be worried, why are you relieved?” Hwan asked his brother.

“Why should I be worried?”

“She is not interested in love and relationships which means you too have no chance, my darling Hyung” Song Ji Hwan reminded the problem which his brother was missing.

“As long as she doesn’t fall for other men, I’ll manage” Song Ji Hun confidently said.

“Hyung, where does your confidence come from?” Hwan was amused seeing his brother, who rarely interacted with Kiaraa all his life and yet thinks he has a chance with her.

Even after witnessing first-hand as to what happened with Ian, Song Ji Hun was unaffected.

“Don’t bother about it. Now go and update Yang Nam-il too, he must have been worried sick since last night” Song Ji Hun said.

“Oh yeah, you cruel man, you worried us so much” Hwan again got upset, recollecting last night.

“I’ll buy you and Yang Nam-il nice gifts to make up for last night” Song Ji Hun said.

“I love you, Hyung. You are the best, I forgive you. Buy me the latest gaming console.” Song Ji Hwan’s mood immediately changed and he rushed out to update Yang Nam-il.

Song Ji Hun laughed seeing his brother’s antics and continued studying.
