Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 139

A few hours passed by.

Song Ji Hun and Kiaraa completed another case study while Ian too finished a few targets he set.

“I am feeling hungry, can we go for lunch?” Kiaraa requested Song Ji Hun.

“Why are you requesting him as if you are seeking for his permission, if you want to have lunch, let’s have lunch” Ian got irritated as it felt like Kiaraa was under Song Ji Hun’s control.

“I am asking him because he might have planned to start the new case study, Song Ji Hun prepares a flow on how to teach something and if his flow is disturbed, he doesn’t like it” Kiaraa explained the situation to Ian.

Song Ji Hun looked at Kiaraa in shock, as he indeed prepared a flow but he didn’t mention it to her. This flow was something he prepared for himself to ensure he covers all the topics.

Also, it is true that he gets annoyed if his flow is disturbed but this too is something he didn’t tell her.

“Who told you all this?” Song Ji Hun asked her in surprise.

“Didn’t I tell you your brother already gave me a heads-up?” Kiaraa proudly asked him.

Song Ji Hun got his answer and he casually nodded his head while Ian got annoyed as it felt like Kiaraa was getting too close with Ji Hun.

“I anyway planned a break after this case study, so we won’t be interrupting my flow, let’s go and have lunch” Song Ji Hun put aside all the books and notes neatly on one side of the table.

“We will leave all our stuff here? Isn’t that risky?” Kiaraa worriedly asked him.

“It is a safe space, no one will steal our books, also there are a lot of cameras here” Song Ji Hun assured her but Kiaraa was still worried.

“Fine, I’ll keep them all in my bag, happy?”

“Yes, thank you” Kiaraa sighed in relief and Ji Hun safely kept all his notes in his bag while Ian was observing the interaction between these two people and was annoyed.

The three people then headed out of the library and on way they came across Song Ji Hwan, which surprised the trio.

“Hwan, what are you doing here?” Kiaraa questioned him.

“Hey, I got to know all three of you are here, so I too decided to join you guys. I was feeling left out” Song Ji Hwan cheekily smiled.

“Wait, how did you know I was here too?” Ian asked Hwan as his visit was planned.

“I was getting bored at home, I called you to ask if you wish to hang out with me but you haven’t been answering your calls so I called aunt Da Hye, she told me you are here.”

After getting his brother’s message, Song Ji Hwan decided to come here because he was sure Ian will annoy his brother to the core and Song Ji Hun won’t be able to handle it.

So, he thought through this and made a few calls to Ian intentionally before calling Sa Da Hye, to form his alibi.

“Oh” Ian bought Hwan’s lie.

“Yeah, so I decided to join you three, where are you all headed to?”

“To have lunch” Kiaraa answered him.

“Great, I came at the perfect timing” Song Ji Hwan happily smiled.

The four people then went out and since they were at the heart of Seoul, it wasn’t difficult for them to find a good restaurant.

The four people decided to eat at a traditional Korean restaurant, which was a famous one in that area.

It was a decent place and here there were private rooms for dining. In the room a huge table was placed on the floor with cushions around it for the customers to sit.

Kiaraa entered the room first as all three men were walking behind her protectively.

She took a corner seat at one end of the table and Ian was about to sit next to her when Song Ji Hwan suddenly meddled in and distracted the guy, giving a chance to his brother to sit next to Kiaraa.

By the time Ian realized it, it was very late.

‘Did Hwan intentionally do this for his brother or is it a coincidence?’ Ian wondered to himself while sitting next to Song Ji Hwan.

Ian was sitting opposite Kiaraa, while Hwan and Ji Hun were sitting opposite to each other.

“I am so glad you two joined us” Kiaraa happily expressed as it has been a while since she, Hwan and Ian went out together.

“I am glad too” Ian added.

After the four people ordered food, Song Ji Hwan initiated the conversation, “So, Kiaraa, Hyung, how is your studies going on?”

“It is going very well and thank you for all the heads-up you provided, I managed to not get scolded by your Hyung” Kiaraa happily said teasing both the Song brothers.

Song Ji Hwan apologetically looked at his brother, “I didn’t want Kiaraa to get scolded like me, so I did this, hope Hyung is not offended”

“Unlike you she is very smart, she wouldn’t have got any scolding from me.” Song Ji Hun informed his brother in a serious but calm tone.

“Aww, Hwan did you hear that? Song Ji Hun believes I am very smart. Ian, did you hear that?” Kiaraa excitedly asked her two friends as getting such validation from Song Ji Hun was a big deal for her.

“Are you that happy?” Ian asked Kiaraa, trying to not sound annoyed.

“Obviously, if the smartest guy in our friend circle considers me smart, how can I not be happy?”

“Hmm, smartest guy in our circle.” Ian said out aloud, offended by what Kiaraa said.

Kiaraa felt Ian’s mood turning sour and she realized it is because of what she said, the next moment she regretted praising Song Ji Hun.

‘I hope Ian is acting like this just out of casual jealousy and is not harbouring any feelings for me.’ Kiaraa hoped in her heart.

The food was served, during their lunch Song Ji Hwan and Kiaraa did majority of the talking while Song Ji Hun and Ian kept calm most of the time.

After they were done having lunch, they all decided to walk a bit around before going back to the library as the meals they had was very heavy.

This time Ian managed to walk with Kiaraa while the Song brothers were walking behind them together.

Hwan apologetically looked at his brother as this time he couldn’t manage to keep Ian away from Kiaraa but Song Ji Hun assured him he is fine and not that petty to get upset over small things.

While casually talking to Kiaraa, Ian put his arm around her just like he always does.

It was a habit of Ian’s, which always annoyed Song Ji Hun but he tried to live with it, as this was not the first time.

Song Ji Hwan tightly closed his eyes in frustration as he thought his brother must be hurting seeing the closeness between Kiaraa and Ian but the next moment something happened that surprised the Song brothers.

Kiaraa politely removed Ian’s hand which was wrapped around her shoulders and gently smiled at him, “Ian, I am not sure why but your hand feels heavy and it is hurting, can you please not put your hand on me?”

Ian was totally taken aback as never before something like this happened.

Also, the way Kiaraa politely talked to him, it felt very distant as if she was speaking to a stranger.

The Song brothers looked at each other in shock, as this was something equally surprising for them.

“Was it that uncomfortable?” Only these words managed to come out of Ian’s mouth as he was feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Yeah, and since we just had our meals, I am feeling more uncomfortable” Kiaraa politely said and added, “Please don’t feel upset or offended, that is not my intention”

Kiaraa still meets her therapist and her sessions are still ongoing, the only difference is the sessions now are not as frequent as they used to be years ago. These sessions helped a lot in shaping her personality and taught her how to handle people and situations in a better way.

It actually worked and Ian, who was feeling embarrassed felt better after hearing her explanation but it was still something new to him and he didn’t like the fact that it happened in front of Song Ji Hun.

“Chill Kiaraa, don’t feel so bad, it is normal” Song Ji Hwan chimed in to ease the situation and started walking ahead with her.

Ian, who was still rooted at his spot was about to follow Hwan and Kiaraa when Song Ji Hun joined him.

The two guys were now walking along with each other.

“Seems like your friendship is not like how it used to be” Song Ji Hun taunted Ian and smirked at him, annoying Ian to the core.
