Chapter 393 - Sprained ankle

A mouthful of water escaped from her mouth as she stood up, and Ryu Yoonmi ran her hand through her wet hair. It seemed that the scene did not go as perfectly as she imagined it to be and ended up being quite embarrassing.

Beside her was Jihae. Seeing how the girl was still down, she helped her up, and Yoonmi flashed the girl an apologetic smile although this wasn't her fault to begin with.

She noticed how the crowd gathered around them. Luckily, her clothing was thick enough to conceal everything and did not give off much. But it couldn't be said the same for Jihae.

Her white shirt had gone to become translucent due to the water, and her u.n.d.e.r.g.a.r.m.e.n.ts could be highlighted. Yoonmi noticed how some people turned their attention towards that.

Noticing that, Jihae instantly crossed her arms over her c.h.e.s.t as she bent down to sink herself in the water. The embarrassment caused her cheeks to flush red.

At that moment, Yoonmi felt pity towards the girl. Although it was common for the female lead through suffering, she cursed the author for putting the girl in such an embarrassing situation.

The crowd parted as a certain figure started to walk towards them. A sigh escaped from Eunwoo's mouth as he made his way over to them.

In his hand was a towel which he wrapped around Yoonmi's neck, and, then, he stated, "I remember someone saying that she wouldn't be getting into trouble."

"Leave that matter," she voiced out, "Quickly give me your coat."

As he was able to protest against it, she retorted, "Do it quickly!"

Seeing her determined eyes, he decided against arguing with her, and, obediently, removed his blazer before handing it over to the girl.

Smiling at Jihae, Yoonmi placed the coat on her shoulder and said, "There you go. This would be fine."

Although she wanted the female lead and the second male lead to be together, she did not want the female lead to feel inconvenienced because of that. If she hadn't interfered, Eunwoo would have saved her from the embarrassment.

That's why, now, she took the responsibility to do so.

After a grateful smile towards the girl, Jihae wore the blazer and said, "Thank you."

Following that, she muttered a 'thank you' towards Eunwoo before getting up from the pool. As for Ryu Yoonmi, she looked towards Eunwoo with hopeful eyes.

"I am not helping you up. Since you got there on your own, get out by yourself," he vocalised.

She scoffed and retorted, "I was planning to do that anyway!"

With that, she proceeded to climb out of the pool, but before she was able to make a step, a sharp pain went through her ankle, causing her to let out a wince.

Because of how she was distracted earlier, she was unable to notice how she had hurt her leg. But now that she tried to move, she noticed the obvious pain that seared through her ankle.

"Did you hurt your ankle?" Eunwoo asked as if reading her mind.

Knowing the male very well by now, she knew that she would be getting a whole lot of scolding from him, and wanting to avoid that, she decided to lie. It wasn't as if the male lead would pay much of attention to her.

"I am fine," she said, "I just slipped a little."

Although she might have sprained her ankle a little, it was no big deal. This was nothing dangerous, and even though she would be slightly limping, she believed that she would be able to walk with this.

However, it appeared that Eunwoo did not believe her words for he had jumped into the pool. Making his way over to the girl, he wrapped his hand around her waist and picked her up.

Seeing how she was carried in the bridal style by him managed to capture the attention of many present at there, and even Yoonmi considered it to be quite flashy.

Then again, such a flashy act was quite befitting of the male lead.

As he was able to get out of the pool, she decided to scan the features of the male. Although his personality was rotten and his looks weren't of her style, it did not change the fact that he was an eye candy.

"Can't you just let me down?" she whispered.

"Why? I thought that you will be grateful if you do something like this. After all, don't you create all this trouble for my attention," he vocalised.

Although that must have been the case for 'Yoonmi', it was wrong of him to blame it on her, and, therefore, she retorted, "Why are you such a narcissist? What would I even do with your attention? Will it feed me or entertain me?"

"You seemed to have gain a sharp tongue," he commented.

"Of course, I did! I treat my time quite previously and use it to cultivate my skills. Unlike you, I don't stare at the mirror for twenty four seven and repeat all my achievements throughout the entire time," she stated.

There was a scene in the novel where Eunwoo stated at the mirror and mentioned about his achievement, not leaving a single out. In the end, he ended the scene with mentioning how perfect he was.

"At least I have achievements to talk about," he voiced out.

The corner of his lips curved up, and the mock was clearly visible in his eyes. She wanted to retort by how it wasn't her fault on how 'Yoonmi' was lame, but since she did not want to be called crazy on top of all of those nicknames, she decided that it would be in her best interest to not mention anything.

"The only achievement you have is being my fiancee," he added.

She couldn't believe that he used that to attack. After how he had helped her, she was starting to think of him somewhat benevolently, but it didn't even take him couple of minutes to change that again.

"You carried me all the way to here to insult me, right?" she raised one of her eyebrows.

"Do you think that I have enough time in my hand to do that?" he questioned before adding, "It's merely that my pool to be much more disgusting."
