Chapter 192 - Stay over

After Ahn Chaewon placed down two glasses of juice on top of the table, Chaewon sat on the couch opposite to Jinhee and Soyeon.

"I will call Grandfather Dowon and see if he can do anything about it," Lee Jinhee voiced out before she took out her phone.

Ahn Chaewon stared at Jinhee with anticipation. With a slight smile towards Chaewon, Jinhee switched her phone on and made a call at Lee Dowon's number. However, the call did not go through.

"Oh yeah! Grandfather Dowon must be on the plane," Jinhee voiced out.

Staring at her contact list, Lee Jinhee swiped against it, trying to find someone she could ask for help. When Jinhee saw a name, her fingers halted.

Looking at Chaewon, Jinhee asked, "Did you inform Kim Jaehyun about it?"

Ahn Chaewon shook her head and voiced out, "You're the only one I told about this."

"I wouldn't be able to help, but Jaehyun would be able to do so," Jinhee voiced out before clicking on Jaehyun's number.

As the call went through, Lee Jinhee desperately hoped that the call would be picked up, and when the call was received, a bright smile formed on Jinhee's face.

Placing the phone near to her ear, Jinhee asked, "Did I disturb you?"

"No, I was just done with the concert. How are you doing, Jinhee-ah?" Jaehyun voiced out.

"I am fine. What about you? Are taking care of yourself properly?" Jinhee vocalised.

"I am doing alright as well. Was there anything you needed though?" Jaehyun stated.

"Yes," Jinhee answered, "Chaewon's landlord wants her to be out of her apartment by tonight. Do you have a place she could stay at? Currently, I am staying at Taehyun's place and unable to help."

"Ahn Chaewon?" Jaehyun questioned.

"Yes, your assistant," Jinhee voiced out— sounding hopeful.

"Sure, I might be able to help. I will call you in a bit," Jaehyun replied.

"Thank a lot, Jaehyun-ah!" Lee Jinhee expressed before hanging up the call.

Smiling at Chaewon, Jinhee said, "Let's wait before Jaehyun finds a place for you to stay at, alright?"

"Thank you, Jinhee-ah!" Chaewon stated, "I owe you after this."

Lee Jinhee shook her head and vocalised, "I did nothing. If you want to thank someone, it should be Jaehyun."

At the thought of Jaehyun helping her, Chaewon's heart started to beat faster, and a soft smile formed on her face. Warmth spread through her.

"Even so, you skipped school and hurried over here. I am truly grateful to you," Chaewon said.

Rubbing the back of her head, Lee Jinhee voiced out, "You're making me feel embarrassed now. It is not that much of a big deal, and I wouldn't be called a friend if I didn't do this much for you."

Coming upon a realization, Jinhee stated, "Oh yeah! You have a younger brother, right? Where is he now?"

"I sent him to school. I could not make him miss school over this."

Shin Soyeon helped Ahn Chaewon's mother into the apartment Jaehyun had found for them. The apartment belonged to him, and according to his words, Chaewon did not need to pay the rent.

Carrying in the small last box by her left hand, Jinhee placed it down on the floor, and clapping both of her hands, she said, "That's the last of it, right?"

Ahn Chaewon nodded, and bowing towards Jinhee, she vocalised, "Thank you, Jinhee-ah."

As Chaewon's mother sat upon the couch, she looked towards Jinhee and said, "Yes, Jinhee Dear. Thank you. If it wasn't for you, we might have been on the streets."

"Ahjumma, you don't need to thank me. I did not do much other than contacting Jaehyun," Lee Jinhee voiced out.

"If you don't mind, Dear, stay over for you dinner. It will make us happy," Chaewon's mother said.

Lee Jinhee did not have the heart to refuse her words, and, therefore, she nodded. There was no harm in her staying over here for one meal.

"Then, I would have to trouble you," Jinhee voiced out.

"No, no, Dear, this is no trouble, and sit down. You must be tired," Chaewon's mother expressed.

Ahn Chaewon glanced at the watch on her hand and said, "I have to go and pick up my little brother now. Make yourself comfortable meanwhile."

Jinhee nodded and said, "Go ahead."

It was about ten in the night when Lee Jinhee had returned to the Han Mansion. The dinner she had was made by Chaewon's mother, and in Jinhee's opinion, it tasted quite good. It had the feeling of the home.

As one of the butlerz opened the door to the mansion, Lee Jinhee stepped into the mansion, and the butler bowed at her. The mansion looked quite empty, and Jinhee could see none of the servants in sigh.

Wondering what the reason behind that could be, Jinhee walked towards the staircase. Before going to the bed, Jinhee decided to study for a while. After walking through the stairs, Lee Jinhee turned around in order to see a sign of the servants. Nonetheless, there was no one in sight.

Shrugging her shoulders, Jinhee stepped towards her bedroom, and turning the knob, Jinhee pushed open the door. As Jinhee was about to enter in, something scary suddenly popped up, and a scream left Jinhee's mouth.

Jinhee jumped back, and she was about to trip on the ground, someone caught her waist. As that person brought her waist closer, Jinhee raised her head to look at that person.

The person wore a terrifying mask, which made chills go down Jinhee, and staring at the mask, Jinhee could guess the person behind this.

"Han Taehyun, what's with this new prank of yours?" Jinhee questioned— her face showing dissatisfaction.

Raising the mask with his left hand, Han Taehyun smiled at Jinhee and said, "Finally, I have you in my arms."

Trying to push Han Taehyun's chest away with her hands, Jinhee said, "What are you trying to do, Han Taehyun?"

Nonetheless, this did not make Han Taehyun move away. Han Taehyun placed his other hand in Jinhee's waist and pulled her closer.

"Kissing my brother's fiancée sounds interesting."

Taehyun licked his lips.
