Chapter 258 - That scowl

When Lee Minjoon heard that Jinhee would be going out with Shin Soyeon on a road trip, ideas on how to quietly make her disappear came in his mind, and knowing that she will be leaving soon, he needed to actions fast.

Being seated upon one of the couches beside his wife, Lee Jiyoung, and an expression as if he was planning something was upon his face.

"Are you planning to make an attack?" Lee Jiyoung questioned as she turned her head to look towards Lee Minjoon.

Hearing her words made Minjoon nod, and he vocalised, "Han Taehee is not present beside her, and this will be the best chance to make a move upon. Even if Han Taeho is her fiance, he would be barely able to find clues."

Before Lee Jiyoung could say anything, the door to the room was pushed open, and raising their head, they looked towards the direction of the door.

Wearing a bright smile upon her face, Lee Jinkyung stepped into the room. Her eyes sparkled, and seeing her in this state made her parents curious on what could have happened.

"Dad, Mom, guess what!?" Jinkyung exclaimed— excitement being visible within her tone.

Raising one of her eyebrows, Lee Jiyoung had a soft smile upon her face as she said, "What is the matter, Jinkyung Dear? You seem to be really happy."

Moving closer to her parents, Jinkyung voiced out, "Han Taeho just invited to accompany him to a charity ball. I told you that he likes me, and this is true. When I asked him about Jinhee, he said that it is too embarrassing to take her along with him."

Those words made Lee Minjoon's lips curve to form a small smile and gave him confidence to go on with his plans. if Han Taeho had taken a liking into Lee Jinkyung, then that meant he would not be much interested in Jinhee's 'accidental death'.

Moreover, being ridden of Jinhee might make him as this would give him a chance to be with Jinkyung. If Jinkyung got to be with Han Taeho, then it would be really opportunity for then.

"That's great then, Jinkyung. Accompany him nicely through the entire time, Jinkyung, and be careful; Don't do anything that might cause him to have slight disliking towards you. At the end, making a good impression on him, remember to bring the matter of Father's business to him.

Moonstone Enterprise has been facing some losses at this moment, and some of the sneaky, old men are threatening my position. Han Taeho would be able to solidify my position," Minjoon vocalised.

"Yes, I will be doing that," Jinkyung vocalised, "Then, I will be taking my leave then, Father, Mother, and I might not be back for dinner."

Saying that Lee Jinkyung bowed towards both of her parents before turning her back on them. A small smirk sat on her face.

Too bad, Lee Jinhee was not present at this moment or else she would have a fun time, rubbing this upon her face. Although Han Taeho was her fiance in front of the entire world, he completely belonged to her, Lee Jinkyung.

"Have a fun time then, Jinkyung Dear," Jiyoung vocalized.

Lee Jinhee sighed whilst staring at Han Taehyun, who was seated upon the chair beside the bed. Whilst an annoyed expression sat on Jinhee's face, Taehyun had a small smile upon his face.

"What is the time now, Taehyun?" Jinhee questioned— irritation noticeable in her voice. 

She did not understand how Han Taehyun was able to stay at the hospital— seated upon one place— without being slightly bored. Jinhee had made a note on how Taehyun was a strange human.

"Eleven in the morning," Taehyun said which caused Jinhee to let out a groan. It has only been an hour since she had woken up.

"Taehyun, you always have fun things to go inside your mind. Ah! I don't care what you do, but just do something entertaining. I am really bored at this point," Jinhee voiced out.

Her bottom lip was protruded forward as a small pout formed upon her face. Jinhee did not care whether or not she was acting like a kid at this moment. 

Series of laughs left Han Taehyun's mouth at that moment, and he said, "I am waiting for you to go asleep, Jinhee. After that, you need lots of sleep. So, close you eyes, and go to sleep. You wouldn't be this bored anymore."

Han Taehyun's words caused Lee Jinhee to let out a sigh, and she vocalised, "It would be great if I could sleep. I know that as well, but the thing is that I don't feel sleepy. I have had more than enough of sleep, so please, Taehyun, take me out of this bored state."

"Should I read you stories so that you can go to bed?" Han Taehyun suggested.

"Like reading bedtime stories?" Jinhee raised one of her eyebrows.

Taehyun nodded and voiced out, "Or else you can count sheeps in your head. I heard that really helps."

Lee Jinhee scrunched up her nose towards Han Taehyun as she vocalised, "Heol! You are really treating me like a kid, Taehyun. Are you that desperate for me to sleep?"

"I am guilty to admit that I prefer your sleeping face more than that the one when you are awake. At least that doesn't scowl at me every second," Taehyun vocalised.

Those words of Han Taehyun's earned a scoff from Lee Jinhee, and glaring at him, she said, "And you say that love me? Tch! I already was well aware on how you were bluffing when you said that word. People are right when they say to not trust the boys when they confess to you."

Seeing the scowl Lee Jinhee directed towards him caused a amused expression to form on Taehyun's face, and extending his hand towards Jinhee, he patted softly upon her head as a small smile formed on her face.

"You know that I am just joking, Jinhee-ah. Of course, I love every sides of yours, especially that scowl. When it is from you, even a scowl seems to be beautiful," Taehyun voiced out.

"You better mean those words of yours, Han Taehyun," Jinhee stated whilst a stern expression sat upon her face.
