LGHTNOVELBOOK Ch:01
Seo Hye’s hand stopped moving as she was about to take a sip from her mug. Her brown eyes turned to the other side, trying to process what she had just heard.
“…What did you just say?” Seo Hye’s voice trembled slightly.
Ji Yoon’s lips curled up in a sly smile. “I said, let go of my boyfriend, Seo Hye.”
Seo Hye’s eyes widened in shock. “Your boyfriend?”
Ji Yoon’s expression was cold and calculating. “Yes, Ahn Hee Seok. We’ve been dating for a year now.”
Seo Hye felt like she had been punched in the gut. She had been dating Ahn Hee Seok for three years, and he had never mentioned Ji Yoon.
“You’re the one who’s been using me as a substitute girlfriend, aren’t you?” Ji Yoon’s voice was dripping with malice.
Seo Hye’s face felt like it was on fire. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Ji Yoon continued, “Ahn Hee Seok told me that you’re a useful girlfriend. That’s all you are to him.”
Seo Hye felt a lump form in her throat. She couldn’t speak.
Ji Yoon’s eyes sparkled with triumph. “We’re going to get married. Ahn Hee Seok’s mother already likes me.”
Seo Hye’s eyes dropped to the floor. She couldn’t take it anymore.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the tense atmosphere. “Looks like you spilled something.”
Seo Hye looked up to see a man standing next to her, his eyes fixed on her stained blouse.
The man’s voice was deep and calm, but it sent shivers down Seo Hye’s spine.
Ji Yoon’s face turned red with anger. “What’s it to you?”
The man’s expression didn’t change. “I’m just stating the obvious.”
The atmosphere in the room became even more tense. Seo Hye felt like she was going to explode.
Just then, the man placed a hand on Seo Hye’s shoulder. “Let’s get out of here.”
Seo Hye’s eyes met the man’s, and for a moment, they just stared at each other.
