Chapter 135 - Intrude

Looking at the guest room, Jinhee's eyes widened in surprise on how much pink was around the room. 

All the furnitures were in various shades of pink, and pink tiles were beneath her foot. The ceiling and the walls were coloured in pink. On top of the bed was a stuffed pink squirrel.

Looking at the pink bedroom, Lee Jinhee felt dizzy for a moment, and then, she let out a gasp. This room was absolutely embarrassing!

"Beautiful— Isn't it? I specifically arranged it for you before with the dream that you'll visit my place one day," Han Taehee voiced out, "And now that you're here, my dream came true."

"The room is quite, uhm, fancy and pink," Jinhee commented— barely finding any words to describe the room properly.

Nonetheless, Lee Jinhee was grateful to Han Taehee for offering her a place to stay at, and just because the colour of the room wasn't what Jinhee preferred, she wasn't going to nitpick over it.

"I thought this colour would suit you the best. So, do you like it?" Taehee stared at her Lee Jinhee with hopeful eyes.

"The bed looks comfortable to sleep at, so, I guess I like it," Jinhee answered.

"That's great then! You can rest on the bed, and meanwhile, I'll go and bring some snacks for you. You barely had a cookie there, and you must be starving," Taehee voiced out to which Jinhee nodded.

With the help from Taehee, Jinhee walked towards the bed, and sitting down upon it, Jinhee stared at Taehee's smiling expression.

"Do you need anything else?" Taehee questioned.

"No, nothing more," Jinhee answered.

Flashing a smile at Jinhee, Taehee turned her back and walked out of the room. After Taehee left the room, Jinhee let out a breath of relief.

Before entering into Taehee's house, Jinhee was worried about how Taehee's parents will treat her and will probably think of her as a trouble.

However, after meeting Han Jihye, Jinhee was surprised to see that, instead of disliking her, Han Jihye actually approached her in a overly friendly manner.

Nonetheless, Jinhee found Han Jihye to be an interesting character and wanted to interact with her more.

Couple of minutes had passed, but Taehee wasn't back yet. Sitting at the same place on the bed, Jinhee wondered on what could have happened.

That's when, her phone rang, attracting her attention towards it. Picking up the phone from the bed, Jinhee looked at the caller's ID and saw it was from Han Taeho.

Receiving the call, Jinhee spoke out, "Hello, Taeho."

"How are you doing now?" Han Taeho questioned from the other side of the phone.

"I'm doing alright. I have just gotten discharged, and the wounds have been healing fast enough," Jinhee answered. 

On a regular basis, she had more than one people checking up on her and asking about her health. To Jinhee, this felt really good, and warmth filled her heart at that.

"I have heard about that. So, currently you're staying at the Han mansion?"

With the thought that Han Taeho would be uncomfortable with her presence here, Jinhee voiced out, "Yes, for the weekend. Does that bother you?"

"No," Taeho replied, "In fact, that's good since you'd have stronger security here. I'd recommend you to stay at the Han mansion until Youngmi is gone."

"How can I intrude upon you for that long? I'll be fine with the dorms. After all, I did survive there in my last life," Jinhee voiced out— a melancholic expression crossing over her eyes as she stared at the ground.

"No one would mind it, and my mom would prefer to have you here. Just stay here if you want the best for you," Taeho stated, "You have to learn to accept other's help towards you and take advantage of that."

Recalling everything that Youngmi planned for her in her dorms caused shivers to run down Jinhee's spine. Although she survived in the end, she was not willing to go through the second time.

'Taeho is right. Since you're his fiancée and mutually helping each other, accept. After all, unlike Taehee, you're not going to owe to him.'

"Thank you then, Taeho," Jinhee spoke out, "I'll be staying here until Youngmi is defeated."

"Hmm," Taeho voiced out, "I'm currently on a business trip and won't be home until the engagement date."

"Alright," Jinhee replied.

"If my mom asks you any irritating or unnecessary question, just ignore her," Taeho said.

Jinhee was speechless. Han Jihye was right when she mentioned both of the twins showed similar behavior towards her.

Letting out an awkward laugh, Jinhee voiced out, "I don't think that would be necessary."

"Suit yourself then, and take care," Han Taeho vocalised before hanging up the call.

Placing her phone down on the bed, Jinhee leaned back and fell down on the comfortable bed. Closing her eyes, Jinhee let sleep take over her.
