Chapter 12 - Last Time Letting You

Straight light blond hair flowed down to her back, and the female appeared to be fairly beautiful. Nonetheless, no signs of recognition was shown on Soohyun's face.

'Minnie, are you here? Who is this female standing in front of me!?'

Although the half of the plotline was known to Soohyun, she had no idea who the characters were for she barely recalled the author's description on them. Judging by the hostility on the female's face, Soohyun could make out that Jiwoo did not have a friendly relationship with the girl.

"Cat got your tongue, Jiwoo?" Hw.a.n.g Hyunae smirked.

"She's Hw.a.n.g Hyunae," Minnie voiced out.

After few seconds of thinking, Soohyun recalled. Even though Jiwoo's singing skills was below average, she could be considered extremely talented when it came to dancing.

Her dancing skills had earned her lots of awards, and Hw.a.n.g Hyunae used to be in the same idol group as her. From the very beginning, both of them did not get along, mostly because Hyunae was envious of Jiwoo's apt.i.tude for dancing.

Since both of them were not an important character, not much detail was not given on this matter. Hyunae was mentioned at the story several times, as she fancied the second male lead.

"Hyunae-ah, I was just surprised by how ugly you look," Soohyun voiced out, "Recently, I've been out of money. Do you mind lending some to me?"

Everyone, including Hyunae, could only be shocked after hearing that. The Moon Jiwoo, they knew, had arrogance and pride that would never allow her to utter such words. Even if Moon Jiwoo lacked money, she wouldn't show or mention it to anyone.

A scornful look appeared on Hyunae's face. "I'll treat this as a charity case. Just pick up whatever you want."

"I never say no to free clothes." Soohyun smiled. "You heard, Ms. Hw.a.n.g. Pack up five most expensive dresses in your shop, and as you heard Miss Hw.a.n.g, put it on her tab."

Hw.a.n.g Hyunae came from a humble background, and in order for her to shop the latest trends, she needed to have a wealthy backer.

Her having a sugar daddy was exposed by the second male lead in the story when Hyunae started messing around with the female lead. This happened after Moon Jiwoo's death in the story.

Soohyun's words immediately turned Hyunae's face ashen. The total price of five most expensive garments here was not something easily affordable.

Having slight clues on who Hyunae's backer could be, Soohyun was aware that the cost of these clothings— along with those Hyunae was purchasing for herself and her lackeys— would be more than Hyunae's card's limit.

"Are you sure you want all of that? I didn't think that you'd have to beg me for some clothes one day," Hyunae said, trying to provoke Moon Jiwoo. "I heard that you're abandoned by your parents, and judging by how you shamelessly came to me for money, that's true."

Staring at Hyunae's mocking expression, Soohyun's lips curved up from joy. Under that cover Hyunae put on, Soohyun could see that Hyunae was panicking and anxious. Since this was their first meeting, Soohyun took the option of being kind-hearted and leaving Hyunae alone.

"Even if my parents don't seem to care about me, you're really sweet to buy clothes for me. I a.s.sume that I don't have to pay for them."

Hyunae groaned with irritation. Was the girl in front of her really Moon Jiwoo? Although Moon Jiwoo was annoying, she never managed to win against her.

"You don't," Hyunae answered. The entire thing was being videoed, and it would affect Hyunae's pride if she backed out now.

"Miss, your card," Nayeon spoke out, staring at Hw.a.n.g Hyunae.

With a begrudging expression, Hyunae handed over her card, bringing more amus.e.m.e.nt to Soohyun. Soohyun had to hold in her urge to laugh out after gazing at Hyunae's expression.

Taking the card from Hyunae, Nayeon walked to the counter and swiped the card. After she was done swiping the price for the five expensive clothes, Soohyun stepped up to the counter.

Handing the shopping cart filled with the clothes she chose earlier and her card, Soohyun spoke out, "Now, swipe my card for these."

After the saleswoman was done doing that, Soohyun turned towards the five saleswoman present and voiced out, "These five dresses are a gift from me to you for your hard work!"

Everyone present couldn't be more flabbergasted.

Clutching her hand tightly and gritting her teeth, Hyunae mumbled, "This is the last time I'm letting you have your victory, Moon Jiwoo."
