Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 127
“How is he doing?” Kiaraa asked him about Ian.
“He is fine, but he wishes for you to hang out with him like how you used to instead of avoiding him using the excuse of your studies” Song Ji Hwan said making Kiaraa feel a bit guilty as she intentionally avoids Ian a lot these days.
“Since he proposed, I realized how deeply he loves me and it makes me feel guilty that I can’t reciprocate his feelings.” Kiaraa informed Hwan of her dilemma.
“So, you’d rather avoid him?” Song Ji Hwan questioned her.
“Well…”
“I understand you need some time but don’t push him away like this” Song Ji Hwan sincerely advised her.
Keeping aside the fact that he is rooting for Song Ji Hun and Kiaraa, Hwan was close friends with Ian and Kiaraa since his childhood. These trio were very close and had a lot of fun moments in their life. He would never want their friendship to ever fall apart.
“Hmm, let me take some more time, I am still not ready to be with him like how we used to. But whenever I meet him, I always try my best to act as normal as possible” Kiaraa tried to assure him.
“Yeah, I know, but I miss those old days” Song Ji Hwan sadly said.
“It has only been a few months; you are talking like many years passed away” Kiaraa laughed.
“I hope that won’t be the case and you two will sort it out” Song Ji Hwan seriously said and Kiaraa promised him she will try to get over this mess.
After saying her goodbye and thanking Hwan for his help, Kiaraa left for her home.
Rest of the day, Song Ji Hwan kept teasing his brother, who was in a very good mood as he got to spend quite a lot of time with the girl he loves. So, he didn’t mind all the teasing and that night he took Hwan out to a seven-star hotel for dinner and it was his treat.
…
Next day
Kiaraa had breakfast, then she informed her parents she is going to meet Hwan again today and left for the Song Mansion.
Song Ji Hun was excitedly waiting for Kiaraa but tried to not show the same on his face. Hwan was silently observing his brother, who kept looking at the door entrance in anticipation.
“She said she will come at 10:30 am, it is not yet time” Hwan reminded his brother.
“What are you talking about?” Song Ji Hun tried to act indifferent and the next moment, Kiaraa’s car entered the premises.
After dropping her there, the car left.
“Hey, hope I am not late” Kiaraa said as soon as she entered the Song Mansion and saw the two brothers sitting in the living room.
“No, rather you came earlier” Song Ji Hwan smiled at her.
“Hope that’s fine too?” Kiaraa looked at Song Ji Hwan.
“Hmm, you ate up my free time but it’s okay” Song Ji Hun replied and stood up, “Let’s study in my room”
Song Ji Hun headed there and Kiaraa followed him.
He kept his room door open so that Kiaraa won’t feel uncomfortable and they headed inside his study room, whose door too he kept open.
Before starting his teaching, Song Ji Hun asked her a few questions as a revision and then they both started solving the case study.
As promised, Kiaraa did revise what he taught her yesterday, therefore she was able to quickly understand what he was teaching her.
The next two hours, they solved more than half the case study. Song Ji Hun patiently answered all the queries Kiaraa raised.
Initially she felt hesitant in asking many questions but seeing how friendly and approachable Song Ji Hun actually was, unlike what she expected, Kiaraa asked him more questions as she started developing a comfort level with him.
They were seriously solving their case study, when unexpectedly they heard a voice, which surprised both of them.
“Ji Hun” Ji Seo Yun called for her son’s name as she entered his bedroom, whose door was wide open.
Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun looked at each other in shock as they didn’t expect his mother’s arrival and they both are aware of her dislike towards Kiaraa.
If she sees Kiaraa here, she will somehow force Song Ji Hun to not help Kiaraa.
Ji Seo Yun arrived and stood at Song Ji Hun’s study room, smiling brightly, “Surprise!” she exclaimed loudly.
“Wow mom, weren’t you and dad supposed to come after two days?” Song Ji Hun, who was the only person sitting at the study table, gently smiled at his mother.
“Yeah, we were but our work was wrapped up earlier than we planned so I and your dad decided to surprise you two” Ji Seo Yun happily informed him.
“That’s great, mom” Song Ji Hun didn’t know what else to say.
Ji Seo Yun then saw one of the chairs, randomly lying around the room as Song Ji Hun pushed away Kiaraa’s chair before his mom’s arrival as having her chair next to his clearly implied there was one more person in this room.
“Since when are you acting like Hwan? See, how randomly that chair is lying around instead of being in its place” Ji Seo Yun helplessly shook her head and was about to step inside his room to arrange that chair but before that Song Ji Hun carefully got up from his seat and neatly arranged the chair back in its original position.
“Don’t bother mom, I’ll do it” he said.
Kiaraa, who was right now sitting under the table, sighed in relief that Song Ji Hun didn’t let his mom enter the room.
If Ji Seo Yun enters the room, then after she turns around to leave, she would be able to notice Kiaraa under the table. So, not letting her inside the room was a priority.
Song Ji Hun then immediately went back to sit on his chair, trying to cover Kiaraa with his body and legs.
Kiaraa again leaned back a bit, as Song Ji Hun’s legs were right in front of her face.
“Ji Hun, now stop studying and come downstairs to have lunch with us” His mother strictly said.
“Yeah mom, give me five minutes, I’ll be there” Song Ji Hun calmly said and casually he parted away his legs not realizing the effect his action would have on Kiaraa, who was still under the table.
‘Oh fuck’ she shouted in her mind and tightly closed her eyes as she just saw his crotch.
Although he was wearing his pants, and it was not a vulgar sight, the position she was currently in made this scenario very uncomfortable.
‘Ahhh, this aunt Seo Yun is the biggest enemy of my life. Why did she had to come back in advance and surprise her sons like this? See, what kind of a situation she has put me into’ Kiaraa cursed Ji Seo Yun for her state.
“Okay, come back soon” Ji Seo Yun warned her son and left.
As soon as she left, Song Ji Hun quickly stood up from his seat and locked the study room door.
He then leaned down to check under the table and saw Kiaraa tightly close her eyes, murmuring something.
“Kiaraa” He worriedly called her name as he was concerned about her state.
Slouching down on the floor and hiding under this table was definitely not comfortable.
“She left?” Kiaraa quickly opened her eyes when she heard him call her.
“Hmm” Song Ji Hun gave her his hand and placed his other hand gently on her head, so that she doesn’t hit it to the roof of the table, and helped her come out.
Kiaraa noticed his actions and the word, ‘gentleman’ was ringing in her mind.
“I am sorry, you had to…”
“Don’t apologize, how is this your fault?” Kiaraa interrupted him looking worried, “What should we do now?” she asked.
“Don’t worry, if I lock my room doors, no one will barge in. You just need to stay in the room, I’ll finish my lunch and will bring something for you to eat. In the evening, I’ll help you sneak out” Song Ji Hun explained.
“Okay” Kiaraa tried to calm down seeing Song Ji Hun knew what he was doing.
“Also, ask your driver to not come to pick you up. I’ll drop you” Song Ji Hun suggested as their parents will know if the driver comes here.
“Wait, my mom and dad know I am at the Song Mansion, what about that?” Kiaraa worriedly asked.
“Don’t worry, we will manage if anything happens at that time, for now do as I say” Song Ji Hun too didn’t wish for his mom to know of Kiaraa’s presence as he once saw how years ago his mother made Hwan make a promise that he will never get romantically involved with Kiaraa.
If his mom would see Kiaraa spending time with him, he too will come under her radar, which he doesn’t want to risk.
“Okay” Kiaraa nodded her head and followed his instructions.
