Ellie grew quiet when she noticed a commotion. Looking around, she saw Hera making her way towards In Ha and pulling him towards Jae-i, where her father and Rian's mother were standing. Curiosity piqued, Ellie couldn't help but start walking towards them, but she was abruptly stopped by Mrs. Kim.

"Don't come near," Mrs. Kim said firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Ellie hesitated, her heart pounding as she watched the scene unfold. Hera said something that made Jae-i freeze for a moment, her eyes widening in shock. The tension in the air was palpable.

With a sly smile, Hera turned to Jae-i and her family and quietly announced, I'd like you to meet In Ha. He's Jae-i's boyfriend."

Though the announcement was made in a hushed tone, Jae-i, Rian, and her mother heard it clearly. Ellie's mind raced, trying to process the information. She could see the shock on Jae-i's face, but there was something more-a flicker of hurt and betrayal.

Ellie glanced at Mrs. Kim, who stood resolute, her eyes narrowing at Hera. "This is not the place for such revelations," Mrs. Kim whispered to Ellie, her voice laced with disapproval.

In Ha looked uncomfortable, his eyes darting between Jae-i and the small group. Jae-i seemed frozen, her usual composure shattered.

Unable to stand by any longer, Ellie took a step forward, but Mrs. Kim's hand tightened on her arm. "Not now," she warned.

Hera's eyes sparkled with mischief as she continued, "Isn't it wonderful? They make such a perfect couple."

The small group's whispers grew louder, and Ellie could feel the weight of the situation bearing down on her. She knew she had to do something, but Mrs. Kim's grip held her back.

Just then, Seohyun and Ye Ji, who had been watching the entire scene from a distance, exchanged looks of disbelief and glee. "This is getting interesting," Seohyun murmured, unable to hide her satisfaction at the unfolding drama.

Ye Ji nodded, a smirk playing on her lips. "I wonder how Rian will handle this."

Ellie's eyes met Jae-i's from across the room. There was a plea in Jae-i's gaze, a silent cry for help but Mrs , Kim grab her steady
