Carrying The Villain's Baby

61

I was trying to finish my goddamn homework. But why does my homework doesn't cooperate with my brain?

While Ye Lisa would wake up the next morning feeling refreshed because she had a restful sleep despite her exhausting day of rushing about, Ye Ji Eun and Lin Eunwoo wouldn't be getting much sleep.

Since it wouldn't be good for her if corrected Jeon Jungkook's misunderstanding, Ye Ji Eun could only pretend she was Ye Lisa and go to a guest room to sleep. She tossed and turned all night. She couldn't figure out what Jeon Jungkook's intentions were.

Since she had come here, Jeon Jungkook had treated her with cold indifference. He wouldn't even allow her to sleep in the same room as him. There were many times when she speculated that Jeon Jungkook was suffering from a hormonal disorder. Otherwise, how could he ignore her so easily?

But, why had he wrapped his arm around Ye Lisa's waist then?

He had looked at her with a gentle gaze and spoken to her in a soft tone. She had never seen that side of him before.

She had done an excellent job of pretending to be Ye Lisa. Whether it was imitating her personality or her habits, there were no flaws in her acting. So, why did she feel as if Jeon Jungkook treated her and Ye Lisa completely differently?

Ye Ji Eun thought about this for a night, but she couldn't figure it out.

Similarly, Lin Eunwoo, who's room shared a wall with Ye Ji Eun's guest room, couldn't fall asleep either.

Ye Ji Eun's words had turned his world view upside down.

The person that had written over twenty love letters wasn't Ye Ji Eun. The person who had worked with him at the restaurant and had gotten him to the hospital when he fainted at work also wasn't her. And, the person, who had tirelessly taken care of his mother, definitely wasn't her.

Those had been Lin Eunwoo's most precious memories, and the reason why he had gradually fallen in love with Ye Ji Eun. But now, he had found out it wasn't Ye Ji Eun in those memories. It was someone else.

He liked the elegant handwriting on those love letters and how she had shyly confessed her crush in writing. He could almost imagine her blushing face as she wrote out those letters.

He remembered how kind-hearted she had been when they were working at the restaurant together and how she had carefully taken his mother. In those precious memories, there was always a smiling face directed at him.

But now, Ye Ji Eun had told him that he had gotten it all wrong.

The girl that had once vowed to take care of for the rest of his life was actually the girl he had been ignoring this entire time?

Some of the details that he had chosen to overlook were now clearly visible as suspicious.

For example, having Ye Lisa deliver a gift to Ye Ji Eun.

In order to avoid the Ye parents from becoming suspicious, both sisters would go out when he had a date with Ye Ji Eun. After their date was over, Ye Lisa would go back home with Ye Ji Eun.

At the end, in order to help him and Ye Ji Eun, not only had Ye Zhen come up with a plan to help them run away, she had taken Ye Ji Eun's place in marrying a comatose person.

He didn't want to think how sad Ye Lisa must have felt back then when he didn't even notice her smiling and looking at him.

Lin Eunwoo felt as if a knife was stabbing his heart.

She was such a kind-hearted girl, and she had been repeatedly ignored and emotionally hurt by him.

This night, he kept asking himself the same question. How could he have mistaken Ye Ji Eun for Ye Lisa?

After Ye Lisa woke up feeling refreshed, she put on the clothes that a maid had brought over and headed to the staircase to go down. She happened to bump into Ye Ji Eun and Lin Eunwoo as they were coming out of their respective rooms. They both had bloodshot eyes.

Seeing that no one from the Lu's household around, Ye Ji Eun didn't wait for Ye Lisa to speak. She pulled Ye Lisa closer to her and whispered, "Let's switch our clothes."

Ye Ji Eun felt that since they were identical twins and the only way people could tell apart was by their clothing, they could easily switch back their identities just by changing their clothes.

"Okay."

Silently standing behind them, Lin Eunwoo's gaze was riveted on Ye Lisa. It seemed as if there were a thousand words he wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start. He clenched and unclenched his fists several times. At the end, he finally called out, "......Ye Lisa."

He wanted to ask Ye Lisa if the words that Ye Ji Eun had said yesterday was true or not.

Whether or not they were true, he wanted to hear the answer directly from Ye Lisa.

Hearing Lin Eunwoo's voice, Ye Ji Eun turned around and glared at him. She hissed, "Whatever you want say, do it after you leave here!"

Lin Eunwoo's face froze. An incredulous expression spread over his face.
