"No offense, Oppa," Soohyun said, "You really resemble those girls."
One of the guests let out a laugh. Han Minhyun stood in a dark corner whilst watching the scene unfold. An amused expression sat on his face.
Lee Soohyun felt a palm on her shoulder, and turning her head, Soohyun noticed that the hand belonged to Moon Jimin.
"Jiwoo-ah, since it"s father"s birthday today, let"s not solve such issues here. It is supposed to be a happy day, so let"s be happy. Alright?" Jimin voiced out.
"Now, you"re turning me to be the bad guy?"
"You"re right, Unnie. It is a happy occasion, and that"s why you have invited Eunwoo and the girl he dated whilst being engaged to me. Not that I mind certainly. After all, I have my dearest Husband with me," Soohyun vocalised whilst wearing a smile on her face.
Moon Jimin was speechless at Jiwoo"s words. She had no clue on how to respond. If she were to take Jiwoo"s side, Eunwoo would be offended, and not taking Jiwoo"s side would make her seem bad in other"s eyes.
Soohyun added, "Unnie, by the way, did you see the new post by s.h.i.+nhye Unnie? "Once a cheater is always a cheater". Did she go through a break up or something?
She should not have trusted those type of easy guys; They easily give you a heartbreak. Why would a super rich man fall for you and pursue you all of a sudden after all? It sounds too fishy to be real."
The smile on Eunwoo"s face almost cracked after hearing Jiwoo"s words, and Jimin let out an awkward laugh. Chaeyoung, on the other hand, silently observed everything.
Waving a bye at the three, Soohyun said, "Anyway, I will go and find my husband then. I have been away from him for too long, and he must be worried."
Lee Soohyun turned her back on them and deciding to not mess with them any longer, walked away. It would not be too fun to make Eunwoo lose his mask all at once.
"You"re such a loner," Soohyun vocalised, "Standing at one corner with a wine gla.s.s in your hand and watching everything. Do you not have any friends?"
Han Minhyun gave her no reply.
"Again with the silent treatment." Soohyun sighed.
"Anyway, what did you think of my performance now?" Soohyun questioned.
"Are you trying to break Eunwoo and Chaeyoung apart?" Minhyun asked.
"f.u.c.k! He caught on that easily. Soohyun, you can"t let him know the reason regardless of what happens," Minnie vocalised.
"He can sense my emotions. I can not lie to him."
"Just answer half the truth then. That would make it hard for him to sense it," Minnie stated.
Lee Soohyun smiled and answered, "Just for fun and to take revenge for Jiwoo. I believe she has been too pitiful."
"I think that was alright. This is partially the truth anyways."
Han Minhyun gave no reply to Lee Soohyun.
Seeing the banquet table filled with pastries, Soohyun could not help but crave for another one. Leaving Minhyun behind, Soohyun walked towards the table and picked up one of the plates.
As she was about to start eating the pastry, she was called by someone. Nonetheless, Lee Soohyun did not pay any heed to that and continued to eat. If they needed her, they can simply come to her.
Hearing the footsteps nearing her and stopping at her left, Lee Soohyun turned towards that direction and looked at the couple in front of her. Hw.a.n.g Hyunae was standing beside her sugar daddy.
"Hyunae and you"re?" Soohyun questioned.
"Jung Beomsoo," The man introduced himself. The man wore on a business like expression, and Soohyun could see that the man did not like her— not that it bothered Soohyun.
"Ah! Hyunae"s sugar daddy? I heard a lot about you from Hyunae," Soohyun voiced out— her voice being loud enough to attract many eyes.
Hw.a.n.g Hyunae clenched her hands tightly. This Moon Jiwoo was purposely trying to humiliate her in front of all these people. Although almost everyone had a clue on what the relations.h.i.+p between the two could be, rarely anyone would voice that out so bluntly.
"He is my lover," Hyunae corrected.
"That is the same thing. Did you need anything though, Hyunae?" Lee Soohyun stated.
"I"ll leave you ladies to your own," Jung Beomsoo voiced out before turning his back on them and walking away.
"Jiwoo-ah, do you mind us talking in a private place?"
As soon as both of them entered one of the balconies at the upper floor at Han Mansion, Lee Soohyun turned towards Hyunae and asked, "So what do you need me for?"
Lee Soohyun"s eyes sharpened, and she watched every one of Hyunae"s moves. Since she had offended Hyunae really badly last time, Soohyun had an inkling that Hyunae was up to something.
Extending one of the gla.s.ses of wine to Soohyun, Hyunae vocalised, "Have a drink first."
Wearing a smiling expression, Soohyun accepted the gla.s.s of wine from Hw.a.n.g Hyunae"s hand, and slowly moving the gla.s.s in her hand, Soohyun saw the surface of the drink twirling. Lee Soohyun made no attempt to drink the liquid.
Placing the wine gla.s.s on top of the railing, Lee Soohyun looked at the view beyond the railing. The cold breeze flew towards Soohyun, causing a bright smile to form upon her face.
"Moon Jiwoo, don"t you think you owe me an apology for what happened last time?" Hyunae asked.
Lee Soohyun yawned, and turning her back on the railing, Soohyun said, "If this is what you want to argue about, then I will be taking my leave."
Before Soohyun could walk away, Hw.a.n.g Hyunae was about to hold her shoulder in order to stop her when her left hand was gripped by someone. Hw.a.n.g Hyunae was shocked at that, and when she noticed who it was, her eyes widened.
Letting out a chuckle, Soohyun voiced out, "Thanks, Minhyun-ah. You did a good job in protecting my back."
