Chapter 397 - A secret

Before Ryu Yoonmi was able to fall into that much needed sleep, the door to her room was slammed open, causing fright to pass through her, and she instantly jolted out of her bed, sitting on it. 

Her covers were on her leg as she turned her head towards the direction of the door, ready to curse out at the one who dared to disturb her sleep.

However, the moment she turned on the lamp to do that, a figure ran towards her, and the speed made her eyes widen. She raised the pillow beside her to immediately to block the attack.

That's why, before the woman in front of her was able to touch her, she placed a pillow in between then, and the woman had her hands stretched out as if she wanted to hug Yoonmi.

Her face pushed against the pillow as she persisted, but having her defensive mode on against the stranger, Yoonmi was determined to not let her hug her. She had enough hugs for the day from her parents!

"Ryu Yoonmi, what are you doing?" she voiced out— her tone coming out weird due to the pillow.

"Stay away," Yoonmi vocalised.

Right now, the way the woman was watching her was akin to the way her parents stared at her— like the way a predator watched its prey. That hug caused an ominous feeling to go through her.

"No! I want to hug you," the woman stubbornly said.

Holding the sides of the pillow, the woman tried to pull it away from her, but Yoonmi struggled to not let go of it. Being forced by a woman wasn't something that pleased her.

"I don't want to hug you! Stay away from me!" Yoonmi stated.

But that did not happen. The woman seemed to be stronger than her for she had no problem in moving that pillow away from Yoonmi, and without warning, she engulfed the girl into a bone-crushing hug.

Being pulled into the tight hug made her realize that she was involved with another crazy character. Since this was a novel, the characters had rather strong personality.

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Only after Yoonmi had let out a couple of groans in order to let the girl know of her pain was she willing to release Yoonmi. The girl's eyes sparkled as she stared at Yoonmi.

All of a sudden, she was reminded of a dog who obediently awaited for her master's return, and now, that her master was back, she was excited.

"Yoonmi, it's nice to have you back! I am so excited!" the woman exclaimed, raising both of her hands excitedly.

Although it was tough, Yoonmi stopped herself from rolling her eyes.

'Remind me what's her age again.'

Seeing how the character acted, it only reminded her of one person— Han Minah. Throughout the entire story, Han Minah was a loyal supporter of Ryu Yoonmi.

Even if the friendship between the antagonist was usually frowned upon, this was well executed to the point that everyone supported it. It was one of those friendsh.i.p.s that managed to touch everyone's heart.

Instead of Han Minah being a sidekick to Ryu Yoonmi, both of them were real friends. They treasured each other equally and were willing to do anything for themselves.

Although Yoonmi was on the rather shy side and expressed her honest feelings towards Minah rarely, she conveyed her feelings for the girl through her actions.

Minah's level is her heart was similar to that of Eunwoo! She was willing to sacrifice everything for the girl except for Eunwoo.

The only flaw in their relationship was that two idiots shouldn't be together. Due to 'Yoonmi's' personality, even Minah was convinced that both of them are able to do anything.

That's why their combination together only dug them their grave. Any advices they gave to each other was rather foolish and lead them to more trouble.

Therefore at the end, they were barely of help to each other.

Then again, it's the thought that counts.

Not putting any attention to the trouble that laid in both of their way and the obvious warnings, Minah helped Yoonmi when it came to Eunwoo. At the end, it caused her demise as well.

It was quite tragic!

From this, the conclusion Yoonmi came to was that two idiots shouldn't be paired together!

"Minah, I can hear you fine. Can't you be little less loud?" Yoonmi voiced out.

The girl nodded.

Yoonmi did not have similar sentiments as 'Yoonmi' towards the woman, but Yoonmi saw their friendship as beneficial. Moreover, who knows? Maybe Yoonmi will get to care for the girl as a friend one day as well!

Han Minah's family business mostly focused on real estates, and they were quite influential in South Korea.

"So, Yoonmi, what all did you do in USA?" Minah asked— her eyes clearly displayed how she was waiting for the juicy news.

"Well, nothing much," Yoonmi answered, "Before I was able to have any fun, I was sent back here by that Eunwoo! Aigoo! That makes me so frustrated!"

"Oh! Your ankle! How is your ankle now!? It must hurt a lot! I brought special medicine made by my grandmother! It will work a miracle on your foot!"

"It's fine; I just sprained it slightly! There is no need for that."

Just as she had said that, an idea came inside of Yoonmi's mind, and she added, "Say, Minah, I am planning to do something fun. Do you want to take part in it?"

Seeming interested in those words, Minah brought her face closer, and while a glint appeared in her eyes, she asked, "What is it?"

Winking at the girl, Yoonmi voiced out, "You will see, but you have to keep all of it a secret."
