Ji-hye…"
Yoonmin's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
I turned.
The person who had called me earlier was already gone.
I didn't even see their face.
But the voice…
It felt familiar.
Too familiar.
"Yes?" I answered.
"Your phone is ringing," she said.
"Oh… thanks."
I took the phone.
Soo Ryeon.
I clenched my jaw.
She's dead.
"Hello."
"Ji-hye… you have a problem?" her voice came quickly.
"What is it?"
"He hasn't reached you yet? Or are you lying to me?" she said.
Before I could reply
A voice cut in.
Low.
Mocking.
"She's definitely lying to you sister-in-law."
My heart dropped.
I closed my eyes briefly.
Then sighed.
"Ahn In Seop…"
"Soo Ryeon… you told him, didn't you?" I said, walking away from the him.
"I didn't! I swear!" she rushed.
Before I could respond
He snatched the phone from my hand.
And ended the call.
"It's time," he said, pointing at me.
"To go back to what we were."
I let out a dry laugh.
"We?" I repeated.
"Move."
I tried to walk past him
But he blocked me.
"I didn't mean to cheat on you," he said.
My body froze.
Slowly...
"I have a boyfriend."
He smirked.
"Him?" he said, staring behind me.
I followed his gaze.
Yoongi was standing there.
Watching us.
Silent.
Cold.
"That guy?" Ahn In Seop laughed.
"He'll never like you. Look at him… and look at you."
My chest tightened.
"People like him don't date girls like you."
His words hit.
Hard.
For a second
I hesitated.
Am I… not enough?
No.
I clenched my fists.
"I...."
Suddenly...
A hand grabbed me.
And pulled me back.
Strong and Firm.
I stumbled slightly
And crashed into his chest.
Min Yoongi.
His grip on my arm tightened.
His eyes
Dark.
Dangerous.
"Move," he said coldly to Ahn in seop the devil sons.
