Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 131
“Why are you shouting?” Song Ji Hun asked trying to handle the wheel as he lost control over it for a second.
“My sister is a Lee; she can’t marry some stupid fan. She has to marry a guy from one of the richest families and not just a rich guy, but a capable, handsome man, who is good enough to be associated with the Lees” Kiaraa said.
Between his driving, Song Ji Hun looked at Kiaraa in surprise, “You are talking like our parents”
“Parents are not wrong. Aera can obviously can’t marry some poor guy just for the sake of love” Kiaraa added.
“So, if you don’t like the guy your sister wants to marry, you will not let her be with him?” Song Ji Hun didn’t expect Kiaraa is someone who would meddle in her sister’s life like this.
“Obviously and not just me, the whole Lee family won’t allow her. I can’t let Aera’s life to end up like my aunt.” Kiaraa declared.
“You love your sister a lot although you act otherwise” Song Ji Hun commented.
“Not that I love my sister a lot, but I don’t want her to have a bad life and then suffer later. If she suffers then with her the whole family will suffer. See my aunt, her life is not great so sometimes we all have to face the repercussions of it. It is better for Aera to have a great life for herself, so that she won’t bother me in the future”
“You are despicable” Song Ji Hun commented.
“I know” Kiaraa wasn’t offended, she knows herself well.
‘Maybe that’s why I love you so much’ Song Ji Hun thought to himself, not daring to say these words out aloud.
“So, I guess all of this applies to you too” Song Ji Hun already knows she doesn’t want to ever get married but he still asked to see what she will say to him.
“What do you mean?” Kiaraa questioned him back.
“You too are a Lee; so, you have to marry a guy from one of the richest families and not just a rich guy, but a capable, handsome man, who is good enough to be associated with the Lees” Song Ji Hun said the same words which were used by Kiaraa earlier.
“My goodness, you used the exact same words” Kiaraa looked surprised.
“I have a strong memory” Song Ji Hun answered her.
Kiaraa just nodded her head and answered him, “Marriage and such things are not meant for me. Handling the Lee Conglomerate alone will consume my whole life, so I do not intend to get married ever”
Song Ji Hun realized she is indeed very serious about this; he could see her determination.
“What if some day you have to?”
“No one can force me to do anything against my wish” There was a strong stubbornness in her voice.
‘Why did you have to fall for such a difficult woman?’ Song Ji Hun questioned himself.
“Hmm” he just hummed.
In a while, they reached the Lee Mansion.
“I’ll drop you here, hope that is fine?” Song Ji Hun asked Kiaraa, as he dropped her a few feet away from the main gate.
Song Ji Hun didn’t wish to be seen by the Lees and complicate this.
“Yes, not a problem. Thank you so much for everything you did and for specially dropping me to my home” Kiaraa looked sincere.
“Don’t bother much, once you reach your home premises just drop a message” Song Ji Hun felt bad for dropping her a few feet away from the main gate and she has to walk till her home.
Kiaraa laughed hearing the concern in his voice, “You think someone will kidnap me while I am walking 100-meter distance to my home?”
“Kiaraa, please” Song Ji Hun looked serious so she agreed with his weird request and left.
Song Ji Hun stayed in the car until he got Kiaraa’s message that she reached her home safely, after he got the assurance, he turned his car around and left for his home, happy with the progress between him and Kiaraa.
Kiaraa too was happy that she can study the case studies finally.
What these two people were unaware of was the fact that Kiaraa’s father saw Song Ji Hun dropping Kiaraa secretly near the Lee Mansion.
Lee Myung Soo was out on a walk and when he was heading to his home, he saw his daughter step out of a car and noticed some guy sitting at the driver’s seat.
In reflex, he hid himself behind a bush and wondered who is the guy with his daughter.
‘If it is that Ian, then this time I won’t let him off’ Lee Myung Soo became determined and when the car turned around, he got surprised to see Song Ji Hun in there.
Before Lee Myung Soo was able to come out of his stupor, Song Ji Hun already drove away as he got Kiaraa’s message.
‘Song Ji Hun and Kiaraa? How did this happen?’ Lee Myung Soo wondered and stepped inside his home.
When he reached the living room, he saw his daughter lying on the couch improperly. Her one leg was on the couch, and one was hanging out; similarly, her one hand was on her stomach while her other hand was hanging down.
“Kiaraa, at least sleep properly” Her father scolded her as sleeping like this would be painful and her body would ache.
“Dad, I am very tired” Kiaraa complained, not wishing to move her body even an inch.
“What did you do today that you are so tired?” Lee Myung Soo raised his eyebrows and suspiciously looked at his daughter.
Kiaraa suddenly opened her eyes, startled by her dad’s question and looked at him. She could see her dad was having some doubts about her whereabouts.
“Umm, was just hanging out with friends” Kiaraa closed her eyes and answered her father as she couldn’t look into them and lie.
Lee Myung Soo was very well aware that Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun are not at all close friends, so her lie made him even more curious.
“Oh, who are these friends?” He asked, sitting across on the second couch facing her.
Kiaraa hesitated in answering him, “You don’t know them, dad”
“It’s okay, I have a lot of time, tell me about them” Lee Myung Soo was not the one to give up easily.
Kiaraa then mentioned her college friends’ names and described them for the next ten minutes.
Lee Myung Soo could feel she was lying, as Kiaraa’s sentences were breaking, she was avoiding looking at him and didn’t dare make an eye-contact, her voice sounded a bit guilty. But he patiently heard her without any interruption.
“Kiaraa, are you lying to your father?” Lee Myung Soo just asked this one question, looking very serious.
Kiaraa looked at her dad and felt very guilty, she looked down hesitating as to what to do. A part of her wished to share the truth with him and another part was not sure.
“I saw Song Ji Hun dropping you” Lee Myung Soo dropped a bomb on her and Kiaraa sat up on the couch, seriously facing her dad.
“I am sorry for lying, dad” Kiaraa looked guilty.
She wasn’t able to meet her dad’s eyes.
“Why did you lie, Kiaraa?” Lee Myung Soo patiently asked her sounding calm, he was not angry, he wished to first know why she lied before reacting.
“Dad…”
“And this time I am expecting complete honesty” Lee Myung Soo interrupted her and gave her a warning beforehand.
Kiaraa shifted to her dad’s couch and sat next to him, lowering her voice she started narrating the whole incident from her college where a friend of hers informed them of some difficult case studies that are asked in the upcoming exams.
Then she informed him everything that happened from then to Song Ji Hun dropping her home.
Lee Myung Soo was a bit taken aback after hearing the whole story.
He actually predicted Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun are secretly dating. He never thought this would be the story behind what he saw.
Lee Myung Soo was glad he didn’t overreact and listened to Kiaraa’s whole story before reacting.
Kiaraa took out her bag and notebooks, where she and Song Ji Hun solved the case study and there were some rough calculations in the book.
“Dad, here’s the proof” she handed the book to him.
“No need for that, I trust your words” Lee Myung Soo closed the book and patted on his daughter’s head.
“I understand Seo Yun doesn’t like you, so you are hiding all of this from her but what was the need to hide this from us?” He asked his daughter.
“I thought you will think lowly of me after knowing how selfish I am to go behind my friends and to keep all these notes for myself” Kiaraa revealed the truth.
