Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 129
Song Ji Hun stepped towards the bed and gently woke up Kiaraa by tapping on her shoulder.
The next moment she suddenly held his hand and pulled it closer, holding it between her hands, she continued sleeping comfortably.
Song Ji Hun was startled by her action as now his hand was sandwiched between her hands and was under her head.
What he didn’t know is Kiaraa hates being woken up from her sleep. Whenever her mom or dad wakes her up, she holds their hand and sleeps like this so that they stop disturbing her.
In her sleep, she didn’t realize she was at the Song Mansion, in Song Ji Hun’s room. She acted like she always does as this is a habit of hers, which she too is not much aware of.
Her parents did mention to her what she does when they try to wake her up but Kiaraa didn’t bother much about it.
‘Kiaraa’ Song Ji Hun wanted to call her name as he was not sure how else to wake her up.
If he tries to pull back his hand, it might annoy her and even calling her name again and again would irritate her.
He wondered what to do and how to wake this girl up.
On one hand, seeing her sleep from so close, his heart was beating faster but on the other hand he had to wake her up and safely drop her back at the Lee Mansion before his mother finds out.
Song Ji Hun used his free hand to caress her cheek and gently pinched on it, Kiaraa frowned and furrowed her eyebrows due to his actions and slowly opened her eyes.
Song Ji Hun’s came into her view and she got confused as her mind was dizzy from sleep.
“Kiaraa, it is right time to sneak out, wake up” Song Ji Hun’s words rang in her ears and she recollected where she was and quickly sat up.
“How long was I sleeping for?” She asked looking embarrassed.
“Over an hour” he answered her and handed her the bag she brought.
“I am so sorry” Kiaraa apologized.
“There is nothing to feel sorry about, let’s go” Song Ji Hun went near his door and checked the surroundings, no one was there.
He stepped out the room followed by Kiaraa. They quickly went downstairs where Song Ji Hwan was keeping an eye to ensure no servant roams around here.
“Guys, it is all clear” Song Ji Hwan assured as soon as he saw the two people.
As soon as they reached downstairs, Song Ji Hwan handed his brother’s car keys to him, “All set” he said.
“Good job, Hwan” Song Ji Hun held Kiaraa’s hand and ran outside the home where his car was already parked in front of the door.
Hwan did all this before their arrival.
Kiaraa quickly sat in the co-passenger seat next to Song Ji Hun and leaned down a bit to not be visible.
Song Ji Hun easily drove away the car out of his residence as no one dared to stop him.
Once they were a bit away from the Song Mansion, Kiaraa breathed a sigh of relief and comfortably sat back in the seat.
“Today’s class was no less than an adventure” she commented while putting on the seat belt.
“My mom loves throwing surprises” Song Ji Hun said.
“Yeah, we know, I still remember the surprise party we threw for you two years ago” Kiaraa laughed recollecting that childish party which was thrown to celebrate Song Ji Hun’s success.
“Please don’t remind me of it” Song Ji Hun turned embarrassed.
Kiaraa again laughed seeing his state, “Oh you know how to feel embarrassed, I thought you only know how to make others feel so”
“When did I embarrass you?” Song Ji Hun asked.
Kiaraa turned silent when she heard his question.
She made that statement recollecting how Song Ji Hun once almost kissed her years ago.
After spending almost, a whole day with him a day before, Kiaraa recollected a few of her moments with Song Ji Hun when she was sleeping at her home the night before.
At that time, she recollected the moment years ago when he said he felt attracted to her and felt her cheeks turning redder.
Kiaraa decided to not lose her focus and concentrate on her studies. She assured herself, it was a silly event that happened years ago when they were kids and Song Ji Hun might not even remember it.
Only after this assurance, was she able to come back to the Song Mansion with a fresh mind but unknown to her, this incident was stored in her subconscious mind and came out like this.
“When did I embarrass you?” Song Ji Hun asked her and Kiaraa brushed away this topic, “I casually said so as you keep embarrassing Hwan by performing better than him”
Song Ji Hun chuckled, “I might perform better than him academically but in other aspects he is better than me”
Kiaraa was taken aback seeing Ji Hun praise his younger brother, “Like what?” she asked.
“He is a social butterfly; he has many contacts and so many friends. If you want any work to be done, he is the one you should go to and definitely he will manage to get it done”
“Hmm, he indeed has a lot of friends” Kiaraa nodded her head and looked at Song Ji Hun, “You have no friends?”
“Only one, Yang Nam-il”
“Why? You hate people?” she asked.
Song Ji Hun lightly smiled; his smile made Kiaraa’s heart flutter but she didn’t realize it.
“Not that I hate people, I just don’t gel with or connect with people easily. It is hard for me to socialize” He patiently answered her.
“Then how did you become friends with Yang Nam-il?” Kiaraa was not a nosy person, but she wished to know more about this mysterious guy who always kept to himself.
“He was the one who always came up to me and sticked around. Even when I ignored him and didn’t care much, he was still there. Eventually, he made me give in and I accepted him as a part of my life. This all happened when I was eight years old”
Kiaraa was surprised to see this guy talk so much and smiled hearing his story as she understood how much efforts one has to put to be this guy’s friend.
“You were very stubborn for an eight-year-old” she commented.
“Stubbornness comes naturally to a person; it is not developed” he countered.
“Hmm, agreed but don’t you wish to have some company in life? To spend some time with, to play with etc?”
“Books were my friends. When you have something to read, why would you need people?” Song Ji Hun questioned her back, turning the girl speechless.
“I am not an avid reader so I can’t relate with what you said” Kiaraa answered him honestly.
“It’s okay, I am anyway a bit difficult to relate with” Song Ji Hun shared what he believes.
Kiaraa was not sure why, but she felt sad when he said this. Somewhere, she felt guilty that all these years although they were close family friends, she never put an effort to initiate a conversation with him or to know him.
Song Ji Hun was not comfortable in approaching people, but she didn’t have such qualms. If just like Yang Nam-il, she tried to befriend him then Song Ji Hun wouldn’t have been lonely during their gatherings.
She approached him only because she needed something from him and this for the first time made her feel like a selfish person.
“Maybe you are not difficult to relate with if one would want to understand you” Kiaraa blurted out these words which came naturally to her.
“Is that so?” Song Ji Hun smiled hearing her words.
Kiaraa came out of her daze and wondered what the hell is she saying, ‘Why am I talking like Aera?’ she cursed herself and decided to change the topic.
“When did you learn how to drive?” she asked.
“As soon as I turned eighteen” Song Ji Hun didn’t mind the abrupt change in conversation.
“Which driving school you joined?”
“My personal driver, who spent years with me, he is the one who taught me” Song Ji Hun replied.
“Oh”
“Yeah, sometimes when I am not in mood to drive, he is the one who still drops me at my college or office” He added.
“Song Ji Hun, I had been meaning to ask you this since long. When did you start working in the office?” Kiaraa asked him.
“After my first term was over as I needed some knowledge before, I jumped in”
“I heard you attend office during weekends”
“It was initially to learn some stuff as office used to be closed on the weekends and there were no employees so it was feasible. Now, I visit office during weekdays” He explained.
“Can you guide me more?” Kiaraa hesitatingly asked him as she felt like she was completely using this guy but on the other hand she knows he is the right person to approach.
