❝ Why are you looking for someone? ❞ Her suspicious friend Jisung was indeed something as she couldn't deny how fast and cautious her bestie was.

The caught off guard girl rubbed her nape and just awkwardly pretended as if she wasn't searching for Park Jongseong at it.

❝ Don't tell me that you're interested in that punk Park Jong-❞ Before the mischievous boy's words baffled right across Mijin's ears, a familiar voice interfered into the scene.

❝ I can study here with you guys, can't I? ❞ Mijoo with the cunning face, greeted the two best friends as she always interrupts in the two friends' conversations on purpose or not.

Again, their campus wasn't that narrow for the shy cat to wander just around the two of them. Jisung's trust issues' levels were increasing higher now. He was likely to give back a no if it weren't for Mijin who's trying her very best to be generous with a dead expression.

❝ Sure, you seem to be nervous around other people so we're cool with it. ❞ , Mijin explains.

Jisung just distracted himself by aggressively flipping the pages which made Mijin shake her head out of disappointment. The new face was speechless at how they could be unbothered neglecting her stunning existence meanwhile others' mouths went agape.

❝ By the way, are you two a 'thing'? Sorry if I got it wrong all along, just my guesses and me. ❞ Mijin was quite taken back at how the younger addressed them as something which they're not.

Jisung's face flushed up in embarrassment before the youngster cutely sulked his lips. ❝ Then don't make assumptions in the first place. ❞ The tall boy attacked back with his skilful mockery without being sorry a bit at all.

Mijin noticed how Jisung's off-tune must have offended the pretty girl for a bit as she lowkey had the upset image on. ❝ We're just best friends, and I hope you won't mistake us for something else in the future. ❞ The atmosphere was awkward since Mijin couldn't gift a sorrowful smile nor was Jisung planning to have a greater impression of the barbie look-alike.

-

❝ Seriously? YOU'RE GONNA APPLY FOR ANOTHER PART-TIME JOB WHILE YOU'RE ALREADY HANDLING ONE AND UNI AT THE SAME TIME?! ❞ Jisung's loudly speech was killing Mijin's eardrums as if she's gonna turn deaf soon or something.

❝ What's so surprising about it? ❞ Knowingly of a hardworking and determined person like Na Mijin, Jisung couldn't underestimate her diligent self but what he's unaware of was that she kept on earning extra money aside from one certain job.

❝ But why are you working your ass off? It's not like you guys aren't stable with wealth or anything. ❞ Jaemin provided well enough for the family as a scientist so why was Mijin that hasty enough to be paid this quick as if she's running out of money.

❝ There are reasons for me to do so. ❞ Normally, Mijin would spill the matter right away before excusing herself but her being this secretive to Jisung was something new.

Unless she didn't wanna share the matter with him like before?

Take a quick guess.

Yes, Park Jongseong was the reason why Mijin's working hard enough to repay him to end her bad ties with him since he'll continuously excuse the reason as a benefactor.

She didn't wanna gratify a playboy's amusement by still communicating with him for longer.

Boringly stepping downstairs with her bunny headband, Mijin was greeted by the elder who's coffee-addicted as he feasted dinner for her.

❝ You seem to spend more time outside these days Mijin, are you having fun? ❞ She'd never thought that her certified brother would notice so quick.

It won't last any advantage even if he knows as well. She just wanted to solve the hospital bills case on her own without bothering Jaemin since he'd already risked much of his valuable time just for her.

❝ Quite, I guess? ❞ Just starting to dig in the dinner table, Jaemin just left his lil' sister alone to enjoy her meal on her own when he surfed through the tv channels inside the living room.

❝ This just came in as a piece of breaking news. SSS company's next-generation aligned to be set up on a marriage with the make up company DIF. ❞ It wasn't very much surprising for the brands to appear up so bluntly on the news as if they're such important breaking news.

But Jaemin couldn't blame them since he envied the top ten companies which dominated South Korea with success and brand reputation. Of course, the DIF company wasn't a stranger for his sharp ears but the nonchalant boy just sipped his caffeine drink.

Mijin unintelligibly also eavesdropped over the news while munching on her food as she didn't wanna choke.

Until she heard the added sentence onwards.

❝ Which also brought Park Jongseong of SSS and Hwang Mijoo of DIF to be paired up into an espousal. ❞
