Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 144

Song Ji Hun wore a white turtle neck t-shirt as it was winter and the cold outside was extreme.

He paired it with black formal trousers and wore a black jacket over.

“Is this too much?” Song Ji Hun asked his brother while checking himself out in the mirror with some doubtful expressions.

Song Ji Hwan was sitting on the bed behind and was looking at his Hyung through the mirror with a huge smile on his face as Ji Hun was looking extremely handsome.

“Hyung, you are looking perfect and you are going to Hyatt so this outfit is appropriate”

“Yeah, but I don’t want to look like a clown”

Song Ji Hwan face palmed himself, “Hyung you are looking extremely hot. That was the reason I never introduced any of my girlfriends to you. Any woman will choose you over me in spite of how handsome I am”

“Stop exaggerating” Song Ji Hun felt shy with too much praise.

“Hyung, calm down and just have fun. It’s nice you are getting this kind of an opportunity. Did we ever think a day like this will come where Kiaraa will ask you out for dinner?”

Song Ji Hun shook his head in no.

“Exactly, therefore enjoy these few hours and stop bothering about silly things” Hwan calmly tried his best to help Ji Hun relax and it worked.

After thanking his brother for all the support, Song Ji Hun headed to the Lee Mansion to pick up Kiaraa as they decided to head there together.

When Song Ji Hun reached the Lee mansion he was surprised to see Kiaraa waiting outside the gate.

She was dressed in a black short-sleeved long dress which ended at her ankles, and wore a brown long coat which was as long as her dress to protect herself from the cold.

“Hi” she greeted him cheerfully and sat on the co-passenger seat next to him.

Song Ji Hun started driving the car, and nonchalantly asked her, “Why were you waiting outside in the cold? I would have picked you up from your home”

Kiaraa awkwardly smiled and replied, “Although you made it clear that you are not interested in Aera, I don’t think the same is the case with her. If she sees us together she might misunderstand and over think the situation. Also, my mom is still not aware of how you helped me and me going out on this dinner with you. Therefore, my dad suggested for me to wait outside as he didn’t want Aera and my mom to know about our proximity.”

Kiaraa didn’t find the need to lie or to hide anything from Song Ji Hun.

“Oh” Song Ji Hun just nodded his head and asked, “Kiaraa, if I may, can I ask you for a favour?”

“Of course, you can ask me for anything, I’ll be more than happy to help you” Kiaraa excitedly declared as she was thankful to this man for everything he did for her so selflessly.

If she gets an opportunity to return back the favour she was more than willing to.

“Can you please ask your sister to get over me? I am genuinely not interested in her and I’ll never be. If she continues to harbour her feelings, she would be the one to suffer in the end and I don’t wish for anyone to suffer because of me”

Song Ji Hun always felt uncomfortable since he found out about Aera’s feelings and he doesn’t wish for that to disrupt his chances with Kiaraa.

‘Wow, he is such a nice person’ Kiaraa thought to herself and instead of agreeing with his request, she decided to tease him.

“Mr Song, what is wrong with you? Do you even know how popular Aera is as a kpop singer and how many teenage guys are going crazy over her?”

“Good for those guys and good for your sister.” Song Ji Hun was not sure what else to say.

“Rather it is good for you. Imagine, the girl you are dating would be a celebrity. It is every man’s dream” Kiaraa tried to provoke him.

“How do you know what every man’s dream is? You conducted some research or have experience in being a man?”

Kiaraa was surprised at his sarcasm and controlled her laughter.

“I had many male friends so based on that experience…”

“You mean Kim Ian and Song Ji Hwan?” Song Ji Hun interrupted her.

Kiaraa nodded her head in confirmation.

“As long as I know my brother he is not interested in your sister and I am assuming the same is the case with Ian”

Song Ji Hun made Kiaraa speechless and she had no idea how to respond to him and take control over this conversation which she is clearly losing.

“Yeah but they would be excited to date a celebrity” Kiaraa replied.

“Hwan, maybe yeah he might, as he wishes to work in the entertainment industry but Ian I doubt”

“Fine, whatever” Kiaraa pouted looking upset as this conversation didn’t go the way she intended it for.

“So, can you please do me this one favour and talk to your sister?” Song Ji Hun came back to his original request.

“Of course, I will. You did a lot for me this is the least I can do for you” Kiaraa assured him.

“Thank you”

“By the way, you know what Song Ji Hun, I and my sister, in spite of being in the same household, we rarely converse. Our relationship is not like you and Hwan. So, me talking to her and trying to convince her to give up on you is a very big deal. Bigger than you can imagine.”

“Umm okay” Song Ji Hun didn’t get her purpose.

“So, please remember this is a huge favor I am doing on you” Kiaraa proudly declared.

Song Ji Hun understood she wanted to say she too is doing stuff for him like he did for her, this made him laugh.

Kiaraa turned to look at the man, who was laughing at her statement.

For a moment she was mesmerized at how handsome he looked while smiling like this.

“What?” Song Ji Hun asked sensing her unmoving gaze on him.

“You have a beautiful smile, you should laugh more often” Kiaraa unhesitatingly said as she didn’t mind speaking her voice but unknown to her Song Ji Hun became greatly affected and conscious of himself.

“Why have you stopped smiling, did I make you uncomfortable?” Kiaraa asked him.

“A bit” He didn’t deny.

“You should laugh more often” she again said.

“Fine, then keep making me laugh” Song Ji Hun joked making Kiaraa smile.

“I hope I will” Kiaraa casually said and in a few minutes they reached their destination.

After arriving to Hyatt and seeing the beautiful space, Kiaraa was mesmerized.

Conceived as a warm, comforting space in line with the residential ambience of the hotel, The Dining Room has subtle hues interspersed with vibrant bursts of crimson.

Its floor to ceiling glass windows offer unhindered views of the serene lily-pond outside the hotel.

A beautiful open-style pantry, doubles up as a dispense bar and cold buffet counter was on one end.

The recipes crafted have been inspired from the kitchens of local Korean households, infusing authentic taste into food with focus on home style, comfort dishes. The aroma spread around was a witness to it.

‘I chose an amazing place’ Kiaraa smiled in satisfaction as she and Song Ji Hun were directed to one of the tables that was near the floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the beautiful city lights.

“You chose a beautiful restaurant” Song Ji Hun appreciated this place too.

“Of course, I did. My choice is just amazing” Kiaraa narcissistically replied making Song Ji Hun smile again.

“You want to go for a la carte or buffet?” Kiaraa gave him the choice.

“Whatever you like” Song Ji Hun replied like a true gentleman.

“You don’t need to be courteous. This is my treat to thank you. So, I’ll be happy to do whatever you want” Kiaraa insisted.

“Let’s go for a la carte then?” Song Ji Hun asked her.

“Sure, whatever suits you” Kiaraa was happy he made a decision and didn’t annoy her by insisting her to choose.

The two people placed their order and looked outside at the beautiful city which was clearly visible from their seats.

“I had no idea Seoul looks so beautiful at night” Kiaraa commented.

“Hmm, I agree” Song Ji Hun said still looking at the beautiful lights outside.

“Maybe we should explore some good nature related places” Kiaraa suggested.

“Yeah, Hwan would be our go to person for that” Song Ji Hun said.

Kiaraa agreed with him, “His love for nature is something I appreciate the most”

Song Ji Hun just nodded his head and the two people continued to overlook the beautiful city silently with no one uttering a word but the next minute the peace they felt till now got disturbed by an invited guest.
