Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 138

Next Day

Kiaraa reached the Seoul Metropolitan Library on time and saw Song Ji Hun waiting outside for her.

He was dressed in a black jeans, white t-shirt and olive denim jacket, looking extremely handsome.

‘This guy knows how to carry himself well’ Kiaraa thought to herself and greeted him, “Hi, you were waiting for me?”

“Yeah, it would be difficult to find one another once we step inside” Song Ji Hun informed her.

Kiaraa’s eyes widened in shock, when she stepped inside the huge library. There were racks, from floor to the ceiling filled with books all around her.

“Oh my god, this is crazy” she almost shouted.

“Shhh, Kiaraa it is a library” Song Ji Hun reminded her and looked at people around them apologetically.

“Sorry” Kiaraa too apologized to the people around.

Song Ji Hun then guided her to one nice corner, where they can comfortably sit and study.

“Since it is a corner and we are as far away from other people, we can study in whisper. If you have any doubts, try to maintain this low volume while talking” Song Ji Hun instructed Kiaraa in a whisper.

Kiaraa showed her thumb finger in agreement.

Song Ji Hun asked her a few theories that he taught her last week to check if she did her homework before coming here and as expected Kiaraa perfectly answered him, reaching his expectations.

“Good, you revised before coming here” Song Ji Hun praised her.

“Of course, I had to, as my mentor is very strict about these things” Kiaraa whispered to Song Ji Hun and added, “His younger brother gave me a heads-up already”

At times, Song Ji Hun tutors his younger brother and if Hwan never does revision of the old sessions before the next ones, Song Ji Hun gets annoyed and scolds his brother for slacking around.

Therefore, Song Ji Hwan gave Kiaraa a few instructions on how to deal with his brother when being taught by him.

“Seems like his younger brother is going to get whipped by him today” Song Ji Hun jokingly said making Kiaraa laugh.

“Kiaraa, shh” he again reminded her as she lost control and laughed a bit louder.

“Then don’t make me laugh” Kiaraa glared back at him, who was again apologizing to people around them on her behalf.

“Yeah, it is my fault that you can’t control your laughter” Song Ji Hun retorted back, still apologetically bowing to people around them.

Kiaraa smiled seeing his actions as on one hand he was scolding her but on the other hand he was apologizing to everyone as if he was responsible for her mistakes.

They again resumed their studies and within twenty minutes into it, something unexpected happened.

“Hey guys, so nice to see you two here” Someone suddenly greeted them in a very low volume, which was only audible to these two.

Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun, were deeply involved in their studies when they heard this person. On seeing who it was, Kiaraa was surprised and Song Ji Hun was annoyed.

Ian, who was wearing a casual white t-shirt and blue jeans, was standing across from them, with a bright smile painted on his lips and was carrying a few books.

“Ian, what are you doing here?” Kiaraa asked him in a low volume, her reaction towards him was neutral.

Ian sat on the same table as them but on the chair opposite.

“Yesterday when you mentioned this library, I got this idea of coming here to study as it is difficult to study at my home with my parents always nagging me. So, I decided to join you two here, hope you don’t mind” Ian convincingly explained himself.

“Wow, this is so nice” Kiaraa was happy with Ian’s presence, unaware of the emotions the guy sitting next to her was going through right now.

Song Ji Hun, was super annoyed to see Ian, who was here to ruin his alone-time with Kiaraa.

‘Ian, I never meddled in and never interrupted you when you hang out with Kiaraa, although it used to hurt me, then why the hell are you interrupting my time with Kiaraa?’ Song Ji Hun couldn’t help but question Ian in his heart as he had no idea where else to take out this frustration.

The next minute he messaged his younger brother, updating him of Ian’s actions as he didn’t know who else to share his anger with.

“Song Ji Hun, I hope my presence won’t be a bother to you?” Ian asked Ji Hun too out of formality.

“If it would be a bother, will you leave?” Song Ji Hun didn’t hold himself back and surprised the two other people with his rudeness.

Ian chuckled and nodded his head, “Yeah sure, once you explain how it will be a bother, I’ll surely leave”

“I am teaching Kiaraa, so we would be conversing a lot, it will affect your studies” Song Ji Hun quickly came up with an excuse which won’t sound very offensive.

“Oh yeah, and you are a medical student. We can’t risk your future patients’ life” Kiaraa jokingly added, unknowingly supporting Song Ji Hun.

Ian was unaffected and smiled back at them, “Don’t you two worry I already have a solution to this problem”

After saying this, he took out a small Apple iPod and earphones, which he plugged in his ears and informed them, “I have a habit of studying while listening to music, so you two cannot bother me”

Saying this much, he started taking out his books and studying, not giving Song Ji Hun and Kiaraa any chance to talk to him.

“Don’t worry, he will be fine, he has many weird habits but he is smart, he can manage well” Kiaraa assured Song Ji Hun as she assumed Ji Hun was worried Ian’s studies will be affected because of them.

Having no other choice, Song Ji Hun just nodded his head and continued teaching her.

In between Song Ji Hun used to glance over to see what Ian was doing, at times he used to find him seriously studying and making notes while at times he caught Ian staring at Kiaraa and smiling to himself.

Unknown to Song Ji Hun, Ian too was observing him in between and caught him looking at Kiaraa with eyes full of love.

At one point, coincidentally Song Ji Hun and Ian both looked at each other but unlike earlier, there was no tinge of friendliness in their eyes.

Without saying a word, they both were able to feel the intense hatred they had for each other.

Ian tried to figure out Song Ji Hun’s thoughts but couldn’t so, yet he managed to at least realize Song Ji Hun’s feelings towards Kiaraa was not normal and there was more to what was meeting his eyes.

The two guys continued giving deathly glare to each other, not ready to back down as they took it as a silent competition between them, where the one, who breaks the eye-contact is the loser.

On the other hand, Kiaraa was completely unaware of her surroundings and was fully immersed focussed in her studies, trying to solve the hard case study.

“Song Ji Hun, the theory we studied should be applied in this case, but it doesn’t feel right” Kiaraa asked Ji Hun question, unknowingly interrupting the staring contest between both the guys.

Although he hated losing, Song Ji Hun can never ignore Kiaraa, so he broke the eye-contact and checked the case study, after going through the problem, he started explaining the different approach, while Kiaraa listened to him with full attention.

Ian felt a bit jealous, seeing Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun sitting so close to each other, there was almost no space between them.

On top of that, they were whispering as this is a library and therefore, they used to lean towards one another sometimes.

Clenching his fist tightly, Ian instructed himself to calm down and not ruin the friendship he got back. He knows he can’t act recklessly and offend Kiaraa.

During childhood, it was one thing if he made ridiculous demands but now if he questions Kiaraa about Song Ji Hun and orders her to stay away from him, she will beat him to a pulp.

So, Ian started thinking of ways to keep Song Ji Hun away from Kiaraa, without affecting Kiaraa’s studies.

He then got an idea, to take help from one of his friends, who was studying in the same batch as Song Ji Hun.

‘I can get those case studies and notes but who will teach Kiaraa like Ji Hun?’ Ian wondered as this was the main problem.

Even if his friends would somehow give him all the notes and case studies, no one is going to spend their whole weekend in teaching Kiaraa, as they too have a life.

‘Need to think of something to keep these two away from each other’ Ian seriously thought to himself while looking at the two people who were immersed in their studies.
