Ai looked at Jin and then glanced around the room. "I thought it's Jun's room-"
"Well, it's not," Jin sneered. "Get out."
p
Jin snatched the picture from her hands, his voice getting several shades lethal. "Seems your parents forgot to teach you so manners that you shouldn't enter into soone's room and on top of that, touch their stuff without permission."
Ai smoothly replied. "I surmised you wouldn't let see the picture if I had just asked you normally."
"Obviously."
"So, I made myself at ho," she replied, unfazed.
The sound of his angry knuckles cracking echoed, but Ai wasn't much affected.
"I can see how much you love Jun. Your room is really similar to how the condo looks. I guess Jun's room will be just like this," she smiled.
"Why are you talking to as if I am even a least bit interested in chatting with you?"
"You aren't?"
"What gave you that impression?" He dryly asked.
She said with full sincerity, "You didn't talk to during breakfast. I thought you might be feeling shy and perhaps wanted to talk to alone."
Jin stared at her. Like really stared at her as if she was an idiot. "You have so high level of misconceptions, don't you think?"
Ai tilted her head. "Not really. You see, you like Jun."
"I don't like Bro-"
She ignored him. "So as I was saying, you like Jun. I like Jun too."
Getting cut off mid-sentence made him clench his jaw.
"So if we both like Jun, I don't see any reason why we should be so hostile to each other."
He sneered. "I am not supposed to like the person who has slapped twice."
She shot back. "That's because you are supposed to say sensible things. Like I said before, slapping is not my hobby."
Jin shut his eyes and breathed out. "Leave."
Ai pursed her lips. "Do you not like ?"
A vein popped on his forehead. "Are you realizing that NOW?"
"No, I know. But I am a naturally lovable and warm person. I don't understand why people might not like ," she truly seed confused.
He gritted his teeth.
Oh my God! Just what the hell Bro saw in this woman!?
"Get out! You are weird!"
"Oh. You say the sa things as Jun too."
"Anybody will say that!"
Ai smiled. She gazed at him earnestly and said, "I am sorry."
Jin narrowed his eyes suspiciously, wondering what switch got activated in her mind now.
"I am sorry for eating that spaghetti. I didn't know that dish held a special aning for you. It's also Jun's fault for forgetting his promise and hurting you. He will apologize to you, but I want to personally do it too. Rest assured. Jun will never make that dish for again, nor would I ask him. If it's sothing special between you two, then it shouldn't be shared with a third person. I agree why you got angry that day, and you had the right to be angry."
Silence. His eyelashes ever so faintly moved.
Jin chuckled. "You cannot be seriously thinking of buttering over with this apology, right?"
Ai blinked. "I don't need to do any buttering as I am a naturally lovable and warm person."
"..."
"Also, I am only apologizing for how I hurt you. That doesn't an I agree with how you behaved with Shui and spoke harsh words to her," she narrowed her eyes. "You still owe her an apology."
He sneered and ignored her. "She doesn't deserve an apology. After how he brought everything to ruin in last life, she fucking doesn't deserve any rcy."
She thought about the ti she spent with Shui compared to what Jin revealed about her.
Still feels so strange imagining Shui forcing a marriage like that...
His impatient voice brought her out of her stupor. "Are you done or do you need to escort you out? I don't want to see your face anymore."
"Even though I am a naturally loving and-"
"O.U.T!"
She pursed her lips. "I will be your sister-in-law one day. You should get used to seeing my face..."
Jin got busy working on his laptop and as she turned, she saw sothing about Zixin's na displaying in it. "What is that?" She curiously leaned in to read clearly.
"Nothing to do with you," he coldly said.
"Why not? Jun is at Chen's villa today to check if he could find sothing in his room against the real culprit. Were you doing the sa?"
Jin narrowed his eyes.
"...I was just trying to track down all the possible things Bro Zixin knew which got him into an accident."
"Oh. Then what is this list?"
Jin said that he had compiled a list of all the projects that Zixin undertook while he worked in the company. "Did you find anything suspicious here?"
Jin glared at her. "Why should I tell you anything?"
"Because as soone who Jun is close to and respects a lot, I care about Chen Zixin too. I also want to help."
He snorted. "Don't need it. I will find out everything that I have to. I know I can do sothing. I know the past life," he then whispered to himself, "There must be sothing in those mories that will help ..." he clenched his fist, "I just need to look harder."
"I-"
"Leave."
"You are not very accommodating," she pointed out with dissatisfaction.
Jin sneered. "I hate you. I don't have to be accommodating towards you."
"Chen Zixin is family. We should keep our differences aside."
"Yeah, right. Bro Zixin is family. You are not, nor will I treat you as one. I don't need your help to know anything about him. Get out."
Ai then thought about any leverage that she could put in her favor. "So you must know about MrPerfect too, I think."
"Why are you bringing Bro Jun in between?"
"Oh, so you don't know that Chen Zixin-? Forget it. It's not important," she nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "What about Bro Zixin?"
"Nothing."
He squinted his eyes. "Tell ."
She pressed her lips together. "But you don't need my help. You are throwing out of this room."
He gritted his teeth.
This woman...is doing it on purpose...
But Zixin was more important. So, swallowing his pride and anger, Jin smiled through his clenched teeth. "...Please stay."
