As much as Ryu Yoonmi wanted to get back at the male for all the insults she had tolerated, she had to get him to allow her to stay at here. 

He had clearly instructed her to not get into trouble, and from how his eyes looked at her, it showed how getting her ankle sprained counted as trouble in his eyes.

Once he was done with bandaging her ankle— thankfully it wasn't serious to the point she had to visit the doctor— he stared at her with those stern eyes, which made her feel as if she was meeting with her father.

It was obvious how he was trying to intimidate her.

Without giving him a chance to start, she said, "What happened today can't be counted as trouble, right? It would be too unreasonable of you if you do that. 

Back there, Jihae was about to fall into the pool, and it was only right of me to try to save her. Wouldn't it be making me a horrible person if I stayed at the sidelines?"

The corner of his lips curved up, and the mock in his eyes was clearly visible before he questioned, "When did you concern yourself with being a decent human being?"

With mere words from him, Yoonmi found herself being pushed into a corner. That sharp tongue of his ensured how he was a male lead material. He was made perfect to the point that, no one other than the female lead, would be able to refute him.

"I know I have done a handful of harmful things, but that doesn't imply that I can't do decent things at times. And I didn't even create that big of a trouble this time. Just consider that I jumped into the pool to take a swim," she spoke out.

Noticing how his gaze trailed down to her bandaged ankle, she added, "This is none of your business. I am perfectly capable of handling myself."

"You drowned, got injuries all over your body, and now, ended up spraining your ankle? You expect me to believe that you will be fine on your own after all that?" he raised one of his eyebrows.

Ryu Yoonmi understood why he was acting this way. His relationship with Ryu Yoonmi wasn't that sour to begin with it. It went to ruin when Jihae came into the story.

"All of them were accidents, and nothing major. Doesn't everyone go through something like this in their life once? It's all a part of growing up," she stated, "We need to go through hardsh.i.p.s in order to grow stronger."

Instead of her words touching the man, he vocalised, "If you are able to talk that smartly, get out of my house on your own and go to your apartment. You can experience all the hardsh.i.p.s you want then."

The corner of her lips curved to form a sweet smile, and she said, "This is enough of hardsh.i.p.s I have experienced. Anyway, since I didn't create any troubles for you, you have no right to threaten me." 

With that, she fell back on the couch, and laying on it, she continued, "You can go and attend your guests. I am sleepy now. Don't annoy me further."

Looking at how the female was trying to dismiss him, he stated, "You—"

But realizing how the girls had her hands over her ear in order to block out all of his words and closed her eyes tightly, he let out a sigh and decided to deal with it later on.

Closing the first aid kit, he stood up and voiced out, "I get someone to get you some comfortable clothing. Go to sleep after that."

Once the morning had arrived and Yoonmi was done with washing up, she was helped by the housemaid there to the dining room for breakfast.

After the housemaid pulled the chair back, she sat down on it and picked up her chopsticks. Seeing how the table was filled with her favourites, her mood brightened up further.

But before she was able to start eating, Eunwoo said, "I have already booked the tickets for you for later today."

"Eh!?" she stated as her eyes widened.

Her eyes very obviously pleaded as she looked at her, but that was soon defeated by the determination in his. This time around he was more resolute to get her out of here.

"I talked to Uncle and Aunt about it, and they said that they will be coming at here if you don't return there within a day, they are going to come at here," he said— his words being an absolute threat.

Not believing that he went that low, she glared at the man and slammed her hands on the table. It was fine as long as it was between them! There was no need of involving parents into it.

Although Yoonmi's parents loved her a lot and went along with all of her requests regardless of how unreasonable they were, it didn't change the fact that they were overprotective. After this, no matter how much she pleaded, they won't allow her to be here.

"Wow! Min Eunwoo! I can't believe you did that! Should I call your parents too and complain about how you have been bullying me the entire time here!? Let's see what you do about that!"

"Don't you always do that?" he retorted.

"Well, I will just add on more complaints on how you did not allow me to enter your house and kicked me out of your place once I sprained my foot," she spoke out.

"Do whatever you want," he said.

Seeing how he remained unfazed by it managed to anger the girl, and without thinking twice, she picked up the glass before her. The glass filled with water was emptied once she poured the content all over his soup.

"Oops! My mistake," she said once the male glared at her.
