Chapter 076

But fortunately, the young lady was proven wrong as Taehyun on purpose made the ball freeze at its current spot with just a slice of touch, making everyone confused but rules are rules and there couldn't be a retake.

Mijin cluelessly struck Taehyun's croquet ball with hers to pass through the hoop and hitting the peg.....making her the winner of this game with 26 points...

❝ Congratulations young lady Hwang Mijin! You're officially the winner of today's game and the benefits will be given afterwards. ❞ The applause was gifted to Mijin by all of the members, even her stepsister who's petty about her victory. The said girl just stood there whilst rubbing her nape as she's awkward and doubted that she deserves the winner spot.

❝ Taehyun! ❞ , called out Mijin after the game ended as the busy boy who's focusing on unwrapping his black gloves.

❝ Yes? ❞ Here comes his blissful smile again as he lifted his gaze upwards to Mijin who didn't know how to react after what just happened.

Anxiously biting her plump lips together, the girl finally decided to question the irregular matter. ❝ Why did you let me win earlier? Like it's so obvious that you exchanged the victory with me. ❞ The smile on his face even grew huger as this girl's really clueless about his behaviours.

❝ Can we sit somewhere else first? My legs are tired from standing and running the whole day. ❞ , he recommends in a polite manner. Although Mijin didn't wanna drag this conversation cause he's making a big deal about one random question.

❝ Here. ❞ The boy kindly handed Mijin a bottle of strawberry yogurt to take as they speak. ❝ Thanks...❞ Did he wanna become close friends with her or what-

❝ You must've been surprised to see me here, am I right? ❞ The quirky brows were expressing how amused he was to show off about fame in front of Mijin who still had not been informed about his personality and true background.

❝ Nice to officially meet you Hwang Mijin, I'm Kang Taehyun, who in other words is the heir of DL GROUP. ❞ Outstretching his rosy palm out, the polite boy awaited for the lost princess to interact with hands. No wonder why he gave off those highly standardized vibes since that day....

It's kind of suspicious for him to keep his image as a secret inheritor with no one's knowledge except for the rich memberships. ❝ O-Oh...❞ , her awkward tone trails off until she eventually decided to accept the handshake.

Brows knitting in confusion, the heiress didn't expect this incoming as Taehyun had the coolest kid image among others in the club.

His grin made her feel odd and she didn't seem to like it at all. Not to be rude but his pure smile looked as if there's a thousand meanings behind it.

What's up with Mijin and her thoughts about this skeptical guy lately? She normally wasn't this cynical before....

❝ Would you mind taking your hands off my girlfriend, Kang Taehyun? ❞ , the familiar deep voice speaks from behind, making Mijin abruptly turn around since she'd recognize it so well.

It was Park Jongseong, her one and only muse.

❝ Jay-ah. ❞ The glad girl embraced her soulmate tightly as he made it towards the sports club although he thought he couldn't.

Anything for his Hwang Mijin.

Taehyun sighed for a bit before expressing a dissatisfied look since he and Hwang Mijin weren't even halfway into conversing of what the girl wanted to know.

The baseball player claimed his lover back by protectively wrapping an arm around her shoulder as the tiny girl became flustered with palpitation since he pulled her closer to him.

❝ No need to be aggressive Jay Park, we're just having a small handshake. ❞ The well-disciplined boy didn't wanna choose violence choices of words as he just tucked his hands inside the pockets while smiling.

❝ Glad to know then. ❞ Jay's lips also represented a faint smile back, obviously a fake one as Mijin wanted to burst into laughter at her gigantic baby goofball.

After Taehyun excused himself from their sight, Mijin started assailing her dearest boyfriend with questions. ❝ Did something happen? I thought you weren't gonna make it. ❞ , the surprised girlfriend asks with eyes detecting Jay's dark orbs.

The boy in his indigo jersey made him look so appealing even more than he usually is and thanks a lot to the broad shoulders that kept him looking charismatic.

Mijin couldn't help but blush since her boyfie's visuals were at a whole new level. ❝ Of course, I had to rush so that I won't leave my little Jinjin all alone with awkwardness. ❞ Stroking her silky strands, the boy says with a beautiful grin as they stared into each other's eyes for a while.

❝ The game already finished though. And good news, I won! ❞ Mijin exclaimed, surprising Jongseong although it was her first game. She didn't wanna include that Taehyun let her win first cause she, herself couldn't even find out the reason yet. And Jay wouldn't be glad to know that he helped her.

❝ Really?! Isn't it your first try though? ❞ The silly boy's eyes widened at her sudden announcement, making Mijin chuckle slightly. ❝ Duh, I'm Park Jongseong's girlfriend Hwang Mijin after all. What did you expect? ❞ Satisfied giggles escaped from the adorable boy's mouth at how she's flexing about him as he pinched her mochi cheeks.

❝Ahem ahem, I feel like this calls for a treat. ❞ Jongseong faked some coughs as he hilariously made it so obvious that he wanted to receive a treat from her this time.

❝ Fine, it's on me this time. ❞

The playful glare made Jongseong snicker before clapping his hands together like a happy little kid before pecking Mijin's cheeks.

The abrupt movement made Mijin's heartbeats increase even more as this guy could be so random even more. ❝ Yah, what if others see? ❞ Giving an antic smack on the arm softly, Mijin scolded her boyfriend in an embarrassed manner.

❝ Let them know that you're my top priority then. ❞ A devastating smirk was focused on the baseball player's lips as the girl couldn't help but laugh out loud this time. ❝ Gee Mr.Romantic, I see your words. ❞ Mijin never regretted her choice to lead this boy to a brighter future rather than looking back at the tainted past.

❝ Oh, and I'll give you a hundred kisses even more if you keep on wiping that peck. ❞ , the pouty boy threatens as Mijin just scoffs.

This guy do be really bold.

Maybe that's one his charms to keep magentizing her to his true love.
