Chapter 127: Are you planning something?
"What happened to you?" Ki Hoon is startled to see the bandage on his sister's head. He came back after a business trip that he took in place of his superior. There's supposed to be a wedding on the day after tomorrow. His eyes focus on Kang Si An beside him. "Did you hurt her?"
Kang Si An is surprised to hear the accusation. Kyuri clears the situation before her brother beats up Kang Si An. "I fell. He helped me."
"Are you sure that he didn't push you?" Ki Hoon narrows his eyes on Kang Si An. Kang Si An sighs. His impression on her family is really bad.
"Not him." She walks into the house. She wonders about Jae Kyung. She has never used her ability to hurt humans. Is he even alive now? Braindead like Kang Si An once was? having a good sleep?
She glimpses at Kang Si An. She's not bothered about hurting Jae Kyung as much as it bothered her when she hurt this man. She lets out a sigh. Was she lying to herself all this time? It was better if she never came back.
Perhaps, it is better to remain as friends.
"Little Hae fell asleep while waiting for you." She hears her mother say. "How did you get hurt? So much blood..."
"I fell." She lies again. "I already ate. I am going to sleep."
She needs a good wash too. She runs to her room, ignoring the stares of her 'friend'.
"Don't get your bandage wet." Kang Si An yells after her. After the agreement that they are friends, he can voice some of his thoughts. He's sure that she hasn't eaten. This girl will never drop her lying habit.
Ki Hoon creases his brows. Something is different. Did something happen between this boy and his sister? He should ask directly. "Kang Si An, are you planning something?"
He raises his brow. "What are you talking about?"
"You and my sister... I was only gone for a few days. How did you get on the good terms with her?" He crosses his arms and interrogates Kang Si An. "Don't even think about breaking up my sister and Young Hwa."
Kang Si Ann shakes his head. In the past, he might have wished to do it. Now, he doesn't wish for such things. "They are already married. Who can break them up?"
"It's good that you know." Ki Hoon slaps his back and laughs. "Have dinner before you go."
He exhales sharply and glances at the stairs leading up. She probably wants to be alone at this moment. If he could, he would go and see her. But, he's a 'friend'. He doesn't want her to find a reason to push him away again.
"I will stay another time." He tells Ki Hoon with a smile, "Kyuri should eat something. She lost a lot of blood. She needs to eat some medicines on a full stomach."
The hint is enough. Knowing her family, he's sure that they wouldn't let her sleep without a meal.

[A few hours earlier]
While telling the story how met Kyuri and Little Hae, Young Hwa doesn't notice Jae Kyung mixing something in his drink. Drunk and feeling strange, he can't even walk properly. Jae Kyung takes his phone and texts Kyuri to come. He deletes the text after it is shown read. Young Hwa has no idea.
Jae Kyung takes him to the room and places him on the bed. His cousin's brows are creased as he is burning in agony. He comes out of the room and waits for Yeon Seo. A few days ago, Yeon Seo contacted him to help her talk to Young Hwa.
"Did he really agree to talk to me?" Yeon Seo finds it hard to believe that Young Hwa would agree to see her. After hearing about his wedding, she contemplated whether she could let him go or not. Her heart couldn't agree. If she could tell him the reason once, maybe he would forgive her. Maybe, there's hope.
"Of course, he's inside." Jae Kyung grins at her. "Yeon Seo, I don't have any doubt that my brother only loves you. Since you were not here, he is swayed by that woman who likes to seduce rich men. That woman also has a child with the other man. You are the only one who can save my brother."
She furrows her brows. She has seen that woman in the mall. That woman is pretty, but she didn't seem materialistic. When Young Hwa offered to buy all the scarves, that woman only picked one. That doesn't sound like a woman who would marry someone for money.
"She is good at fooling people," He tells her in a low voice. "She even tried to climb my bed three years ago before she seduced my fellow actor. You heard about Kang Si An, right? She's that woman."
Who doesn't know about Kang Si An and his suicidal actions in the last three years? Recently, she heard that he had a child with the woman who disappeared three years ago. The poor man had no idea. The woman came back with a fiance too. Kang Si An was abandoned for a richer man.
So, that fiance was none other than Young Hwa.
She sighs. These women are scary.
"Don't let him wait too long." Jae Kyung signals her to go inside. "My brother missed you for a long time."
