Chapter 392 - Trip

Walking around the pool, Yoonmi observed how well he had arranged the place. From the corner of her eyes she could spot Eunwoo talking with the foreigners.

One of the waiters walked towards her, and in his hand was a tray filled with wine glasses. Her gaze turned complicated as she stared at them.

She recalled about Eunwoo's strict orders for her to avoid drinks, but Yoonmi right now was too tempted. 

The male lead did not pay much attention to Yoonmi in the first place, and that's why, she believed that as long as she did not create any drama, it would be fine for her to drink wine.

Therefore, without a second thought, she extended her hand towards the tray in order to take a glass of wine, but before she was able to do that, her wrist was grabbed by someone, rendering her incapable of doing that.

Her eyes widened because of that, and turning her head, she looked at Eunwoo staring at her sternly. The shock was clearly shown in her eyes.

Pointing her finger at a certain direction, she questioned, "How are you here so quickly? Weren't you talking to the foreigners right there?"

Raising one of his eyebrows, he asked, "So, you were thinking of this opportunity to drink a glass of wine?"

Being truthful right now would only lead for him to kick her out of this party, and that can't be happening since she needed to be here. Therefore, she was required to come up with an excuse as soon as possible.

Wearing a smile on her face, she took a step back and shook her head fervently before saying, "What type of nonsense are you saying? There is no way I am capable of doing that! It's just that it would look quite lame if my hands were empty. That's why, I wanted to hold a glass of wine."

Her excuse was one even she would have a hard time believing, and therefore, when the man's eyes were filled with disbelief, she did not blame him.

"Anyway, I will get going then."

With that, she turned on her heels to run away before he was able to find more faults within her— something that she considered to be a dear hobby of his.

Staring at the girl's back, Eunwoo shook his head.

From a distance, Yoonmi watched Hyungsik, enjoying his side view. 

His hair was brushed up, revealing his forehead, and the gentle smile on his face was present while he talked with the foreigners. He was dressed neatly in a white suit, making him look like an angel in Yoonmi's eyes.

Before she was able to drool for him, her eyes fell on Jihae, and she recalled about the plan she had to carry out. Sadly enough, she wouldn't be able to watch the male any longer.

Wearing a bright smile on her face, Yoonmi ran over to the girl enthusiastically and exclaimed, "Jihae, it's you!"

Hearing her name caught her attention, and Jihae turned her head to meet her eyes with the energetic Yoonmi. As to why the girl was suddenly calling her name, Jihae was confused.

"Yes?" Jihae questioned confused.

If it wasn't for the fact that the scene in the cafe happened just three to four days ago, even Jihae would have forgotten her face.

In Jihae's hand was a tray filled with wine glasses, and noticing that, Yoonmi pulled it away from her, leaving the girl to be further perplexed. Not caring about that, Yoonmi placed the tray on a nearby table.

"Was there anything you needed?" the girl questioned, not understanding Yoonmi's motive.

"Yes, I want to chat with you and befriend you," Yoonmi vocalised, "Let's go sit at a corner, alright?"

From the gaze Jihae shot at her, Yoonmi could see that the girl was contemplating whether or not Yoonmi was a nutcase. She couldn't blame the girl for thinking that way. 

Yoonmi was being rather abrupt, but she wanted to be friends with Jihae, there was no use in delaying it further. 

Bowing slightly, Jihae vocalised, "I am sorry that I won't be able to accompany you. I have work to do."

"Don't worry. I am more or less the hostess to this, so you won't be blamed for not doing your work. Just sit with me for a chat," Yoonmi stated.

"I am afraid that won't be possible. It wouldn't be right of me to do so. If that's all, I will be taking my leave," Jihae voiced out.

Picking up the tray from the table, Jihae turned to leave, and at that, Yoonmi could let out a sigh. Anyone could see that her behaviour was suspicious, and as a female lead, it suit Jihae to be at least this smart.

As Yoonmi was in a deep thought on what to do next, she noticed how Jihae was about to bump into someone. Acting on her reflex, she ran over to the girl.

Before Jihae was able to fall down to the pool behind her, Yoonmi gripped her wrist in order to secure the girl. The tray in her hand fell down as a scream came from the woman whom Jihae bumped into.

Before Yoonmi was able to smile due to her accomplishment on how she avoided a disaster, her eyes widened at how she lost her balance, and tripping over the flat surface, she fell behind on the pool with Jihae in her arms.

The water splashed as she fell down inside of the pool, and the loud sound attracted the attention of all around them. Everyone started to gather around the place in order to see what had happened.

The coldness hit Yoonmi as sharp pain spread went through her body while she hit something hard. A loud scream left her mouth.
