Chapter 386 - Fall into a dilemma

Ryu Yoonmi did not say those words just because of spite on how her pride felt attacked; there were other motives behind it as well.

One of the reasons was that she wanted to get closer to Kim Hyungsik. It would be great if she was labeled as a friend by him by the end of this. 

Certainly, she was aware of how defensive the man was despite of how friendly he seemed, and being a real friend to him will be taking months for her. 

But although the relationship would be hollow, she would still consider it to be an achievement if she was regarded something other than Eunwoo's fiancee by him.

It was clearly visible how he had trust issues, seeing how he wasn't that close to anyone other than Eunwoo. This showed how he put a barrier around him that was hard to penetrate through.

Most importantly, she was aware of how the male lead and female lead encounter at the chapter when they were at the USA. There was no way she was going to miss such an important event. 

Getting to experience this was something she was quite looking forward to. The initial meeting between the male and female lead are made to be quite dramatic in the novel. Therefore, this got her enthusiastic.

Moreover, it would allow her to form plans for the future.

He let out a groan at her words and said, "What are you going to do then? Stay at here and create more trouble? Even if I have to kidnap you, I will send you home, Ryu Yoonmi."

One thing she was aware of that 'Ryu Yoonmi' stayed at the USA despite of the persistence from Eunwoo, and if someone foolish like her was able to stay, Yoonmi believed that she would be able to do it as well.

"Aren't you going too far!? I am too old to be supervised, and I can handle my own affairs. I never asked you to poke your head into it.

Even if I create trouble, it's my own business. I don't recall bringing you into them," she pointed out, "I am twenty and don't need you to act as my parent."

His eyes showed clear disbelief while the man stared at Ryu Yoonmi. Folding his arms over his c.h.e.s.t, he voiced out, "Fine. Since you are an a.d.u.l.t, deal with things on your own. Don't think of contacting me when you get in trouble again."

"Sure! I have no problem with that! I am a loser if I go to ask you for help again," Yoonmi voiced out.

Although the plans forming in her mind concerned the male, she would think of it later. As long as he doesn't forcefully send her back to South Korea, she believed that she would be able to handle the rest of the things.

He let out a scoff, and placing his hand on Hyungsik's shoulder, he voiced out, "You too come along with me. Leave her on her own. Only then will she be coming to her right mind."

A sense of urgency went through her as she noticed that Eunwoo was trying to take Hyungsik away, and immediately, she sat up properly on the bed. 

Extending her hand towards the man, she gripped on to Hyungsik's wrist, and staring at Eunwoo with determination in her eyes, she stated, "Why should he leave with you? This is not fair! Ho off on your own."

Curving the corner of his lips, he wore a smile on his face, and the mock in his eyes was clearly visible to Ryu Yoonmi. She did not understand what 'Ryu Yoonmi' saw in this man to be head over heels on him.

Then again, since the entire thing was written by the author, 'Yoonmi' surely did not have control over it, and thinking about it like that made her have pity for the girl.

Bringing his hand over to her, he gripped on her wrist and forcefully caused her to loosen her hold on Hyungsik's wrist. 

Then, maintaining that smiling expression, he answered, "That's because, my dear, not everyone is as leisurely as you. He doesn't have time to accompany an obnoxious girl!"

With that, he turned his back on her and started to walk towards the door. After a small 'bye', Hyungsik followed after Eunwoo as well, and getting out of the room, Hyungsik closed the door behind it.

"That sc.u.mbag! Seriously! I want to strangle him! That son of a bitch!" she exclaimed.

It was clear to her on how the man insulted her, and although he was referring to 'Ryu Yoonmi', that did not mean that she wasn't offended. 

Therefore, she was determined to take revenge for sake of 'Ryu Yoonmi' even though the most of it was for her to satisfy her pride.

"Eunwoo, you bastard, you have no idea on whom you are dealing with. I will teach you a proper lesson, and show you who is the boss around you. I wasn't called a monster for no reason after all."

While she started to brew plans inside of her mind— each being more evil than the other one— her phone started to ring all of a sudden, taking her by surprise. 

Turning her head to the left, her eyes fell on her phone on top of the table, and reading the name on the screen, she could see that the call was from her mother.

That made her fall into a dilemma.

When it came to 'Yoonmi's' relationship with her mother, she could say that it was quite deep. While 'Ryu Yoonmi' acted like a spoiled brat most of the times, her mother satisfied each of her whims. Although the girl was lacking, she was the best in her mother's eyes.

This made Yoonmi wonder about how to respond to her mother. Calling a stranger mother and acting friendly with them wasn't a easy matter for her after all.
