Chapter 158 - Frivolous

Lee Jinhee simply rolled her eyes at the male in front of her and spoke out, "You look like the type to be frivolous."

"Wow! When did I even show such intentions? I'm pretty sure everything I have done until now shows my loyalty to you," Taehyun stated.

"Playboys tend to show this type of attitude before breaking the hearts of the girl," Lee Jinhee pointed out.

Holding Jinhee's shoulder, Han Taehyun pulled her closer to him, and staring at her straight in the eyes, his eyes showed a type of mischief. Creases appeared between Lee Jinhee's eyebrows as she thought of what he could possibly do at this moment.

"Should I kiss you to prove my seriousness towards you?" Han Taehyun questioned.

"You dare to do that and I'll make sure to break every part of your body," Lee Jinhee threatened.

"Are you saying that to hide how you much your heart is affected by my words?" Han Taehyun asked whilst arching his eyebrows.

Placing her hand on her chest, Jinhee waited for a minute before she spoke out, "It's beating at a normal rate though."

Lee Jinhee stuck her tongue out at Han Taehyun playfully.

Leaning closer to Lee Jinhee, Taehyun stated, "How really don't treat me like a man? Now, do you?"

Jinhee felt his breath on her face and tried her best to stay calm. She can't let him know that he was slowly affecting her and forced out a smile on her face.

"You don't even look like a man. Then, how can I treat you like one," Lee Jinhee retorted.

"This makes me want to kiss you more. I want to check how much your heart would flutter over that."

As Han Taehyun continued to move closer to her, Lee Jinhee bent back until her back touched the bench. Han Taehyun's body was above of hers with very little space between the two of them.

Most viewing this scene would misunderstand. Nervousness viewed within Lee Jinhee when she stared at Han Taehyun's face from so close. Turning her head the other way, Jinhee tried to avoid looking at his face. 

Light blush coloured her cheeks, and the urge to place kisses on her cheeks increased within Han Taehyun. Nonetheless, he knew how to resist himself.

"I'm your brother's to be fiancée. This is not appropriate," Lee Jinhee spoke out.

There were no other cards Jinhee had, and if Han Taehyun did not get off of her despite this, she would get violent for real in spite of her injuries.

Letting out a chuckle, Han Taehyun pecked on Jinhee's cheeks before sitting up straight. Taehyun's actions surprised Jinhee, and she touched the part of her cheeks Taehyun kissed at.

This was the third time Taehyun kissed her today.

Staring at him with widened eyes, she pointed her finger at him and questioned, "H-How could you do that?"

"I saw you before Taeho," Taehyun said, "And I'm more of a decent man than them."

Sitting up straight, Lee Jinhee punched Han Taehyun in his stomach with her left hand and used her utmost strength to deliver her punch. How dare the man kiss her without her permission?

Han Taehyun clutched tightly onto his stomach, and looking at Jinhee, he burst out into laughter even though his stomach hurt every time he laughed. He fell off the bench, and despite that, his laughing continued.

"Little squirrel, you resemble a tomato at this moment! You should look at how red your face is! Your face turns red really easily! What is it so red from though— anger or shyness?"

With each word that left Han Taehyun's mouth, irritation Jinhee felt increased, and as her eyes glared at Han Taehyun, she spoke out, "Han Taehyun, you're lucky that I'm injured. Really lucky or else I would have beat you up into a bloody mess."

Han Taehyun sat up on the grass, and arching his eyebrows, he spoke out, "Really? But didn't I say before that you're too weak to beat me up."

Hearing Han Taehyun's words, Jinhee abruptly stood up, and feeling the sharp pain go through her right foot, Jinhee immediately winced. Unable to stabilize herself, Lee Jinhee lost balance and was about to fall down.

That's when, Han Taehyun supported himself on his knee, and raising his hand and waist, he held Jinhee by her waist. Pulling her closer to him, her body landed on him.

Noticing that, Lee Jinhee wanted to move away from him. Who knew what that pervert would do to her next? Struggling in his grip, Jinhee tried to loosen his hands around her. 

When trying to move up wasn't working out for Jinhee, she attempted to roll out of Han Taehyun's grip. Using her utmost strength, Jinhee was almost successful in rolling towards the left and touching the ground.

"Wait! Jinhee-ah, don't move," Taehyun warned.

However, it was too late. Half of Jinhee's body landed on the land whilst the other half was above the water, and losing their balance, both of them fell into the lake, unfortunately.

At least Han Taehyun removed his hold on Jinhee's waist, and raising her head up, Jinhee held the ground for support. Coughing out loudly, Jinhee tried to move back the hair from the front of her face using her injured right hand.

However, it was too painful, and Jinhee had to retract her hand back. Irritation could clearly be seen on her face, and at that moment, Han Taehyun swam near to her.

Turning towards Han Taehyun, Jinhee glared at Han Taehyun. This is the third time she had fallen into the water with him, and this time too it was because of him. If he didn't try to tease him, this wouldn't have happened.

'He loves me? No, it's just that he loves to tease me!'

Han Taehyun started to laugh out loud, and although the voice was euphonious to one's ears, Lee Jinhee found it absolutely irritating. If she could, she would have stitched his mouth shut.

"Luckily for me, looks can't kill," Han Taehyun commented.

Patting Jinhee's wet head, Taehyun continued, "I'm sorry; It's all my fault. I shouldn't have teased you despite knowing how easily you get irritated. Happy?"

Jinhee had a strong feeling that Han Taehyun was teasing her even now, and turning her head away, Jinhee avoided his touch. Silent treatment from her was what he was going to be dealing with now.

'I made a big mistake by thinking that he actually loved me. I even loved someone in the past, and I'm pretty sure I never had the desire to tease Kim Jaehyun this much. This sadist just thinks of me as a fun little thing to play with.'

"Now, don't curse me internally," Taehyun voiced out, "Let's get you up and dry before you catch a cold."

Jinhee gave no reply to Han Taehyun.
