Chapter 20: Absolute Monarch

Depuis le début
                                    

Sure, this woman was beautiful beyond words. Unlike most women her age, she didn’t dress scandalously or brattily. Instead, she was well-dressed in professional attire that screamed an independent vibe. Park Jimin nearly questioned why Jeong Jaehyun left this Rosé Yang for a woman of significantly lower class.

Rosé Yang didn’t squirm under his scrutinizing glares. She was all too familiar with those type of looks. Her skin was long hardened by the envy-filled glances of other socialites.

"I didn’t invite you into this conversation, get out." His voice was cold and ruthless, cutting everything it touched.

Rosé Yang narrowed her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. "Well then, I’m inviting myself into this conversation."

Park Jimin let out a humorless chuckle. "What gives you the qualifications to enter this conversation?"

Rosé Yang felt her lips pull into a scowl. "I donated a lot of blood just to save your safe. I think I should have a voice of reason in this conversation."

Park Jimin was taken back by the new information before him. "You’re the blood donor?"

"Yeah I am, why else would I be here for?" Rosé Yang crossed her arms. "I nearly fainted when I donated blood for you. How can you repay me with wanting to waste all of my hard efforts of staying awake?" Okay, she lied about the last part. But, she needed something to guilt-trip him with.

Park Jimin instantly misunderstood her words. She wanted something in return for saving his life... Of course, what else could he have expected?

He thought he was foolish for thinking she might’ve been different from the rest of the women that hung around Lalisa Park. But alas, she was just another fly with ulterior motives.

"Fine, you want repayment? Lisa, pass me my checkbook." Park Jimin humorlessly ordered, his voice thick with annoyance.

Lalisa Park blinked in surprise. She didn’t expect her brother to always carry a checkbook around. Curious to see if he was telling the truth, she walked to his suit and took out a leather checkbook.

"Wow brother, you actually bring this around!" Lalisa Park was astonished at the presence of the book. She didn’t think he would actually have this! What type of Korean drama cliché was this?

Rosé Yang felt her patience run thin when he grabbed the book, flipped it open, and signed his name at the bottom of the first page. He ripped the slip and handed it to her.

"Since you want money so badly, write as many zeros as you’d like." His voice was laced with disgust.

Rosé Yang scowled at the backhanded insult. He didn’t even look at her as he passed the slip to her, insinuating as if she was some sort of prostitute or a gold-digging woman with no morals.

Who did he think he was?

She saved his life and this was how he was going to repay her? By hinting, she was a woman after his money?

Rosé Yang nearly scoffed at his pretentious behavior. She roughly snatched the small paper from his hand and grabbed the pen.

Park Jimin felt his expectations and impressions for Rosé Yang drop lower than ever. He couldn’t believe his younger sister’s judgment of people was so poor that she was willing to become best friends with this type of woman.

He watches her write down at least seven zeros. When she placed her pen down, he opened his mouth, "Now get out—"

Rosé Yang took him by surprise when she suddenly ripped the paper into shreds.

"What are you doing?"

SWOOSH!

Rosé Yang threw the pieces of the paper into his face, the tiny white shreds blowing onto his honey-colored skin.

At the disrespectful gesture, the room went quiet. The room was filled with deafening silence. The temperature dropped so low in the room, Lalisa Park shivered in fear. She glanced at the thermometer and was surprised to see it was room-temperature, despite the chilly atmosphere.

Why did it feel like the wind of Antarctica had entered through the windows? The air around her brother was so cold, she was surprised the walls didn’t develop icicles and the glass windows didn’t freeze over!

The look that Park Jimin gave Rosé Yang was so bone-chilling, even Lalisa Park took a step back.

"You must have a lot of courage to do that. " His voice was so thick with restraint anger, Lalisa Park nearly ran out of the door in fear.

But Rosé Yang was used to these type of men who thought their daunting stares and threats could make a woman run for their life.

Having toughened her skin from all of the times Jeong Jaehyun threatened and glared at her, Rosé Yang was desensitized by this common behavior. Sure, this man did it better than Jeong Jaehyun, but she didn’t care.

Rosé Yang ignored the warning bells in her head and the obvious red flags that waved in the air.

Park Jimin took in a deep, calming breath. He told himself he didn’t need to lose his control for a simple and lowly woman like her.

"You’re a crazy woman—" His voice died off at the completely unexpected turn of events. Never in a billion years would he had ever expected the next scene that was unfolded.

Rosé Yang had grabbed her purse, opened it, and then threw hundreds, if not thousands, of bills at him. The magnificent color caught the light and with the amount that she threw at him, it was like the room was raining with money-confetti.

The bills rained onto Park Jimin, dropping onto him and his bed. It made him look like a common male-escort that rich cougars [1] threw their money at.

"Oooooh, how the tables have turned..." Lalisa Park quietly whispered under her breath.

"I don’t need your money, you pretentious bastard!" Rosé Yang snarled at him before storming out of the hospital room.
