2. "Should we check on our family while we're giving you a minute?"
3. I nod. We might as well.
4. I don't think I'm ready to hear the entire sordid tale about how the woman I was falling for is married and by the sounds of it...
5. Not necessarily planning to divorce.
6. A stiff drink might help ease some of this ache in my chest too.
7. "How did you know where I was?"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "I'm the ceo of a charity organization and a big international company..."
2. "If I have to track someone down I don't have to try so hard, I have both the money and the staff to find you."
3. That's right...
4. "When did you get here?"
5. "Last night."
6. It's almost noon, but with the jetlag and the wine we consumed last night, mom and I haven't unpacked a thing.
7. It's actually a small miracle we're up and showered.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "I assume you haven't had lunch yet. Let's get you something to eat and I'll explain everything."
2. She turns to my mom and king.
3. "King, miss jeong, how about a quick bite to eat before you start your sightseeing?"
4. "I'm game."
5. "That's a good idea, I'm starving."
6. "There's room service."
1. "No way we're sitting inside the room all day, my dear."
2. "Come on, it's just lunch."
3. "White wine, please."
4. I've never tasted anything quite so light, crisp and refreshing.
5. Her impeccable taste is just one more thing that's easy to love about her.
1. But I can't go there.
2. Won't. My body has already betrayed me by springing to life when she's near.
3. I'm glad our family are picking up the slack when it comes to making conversation, because kir and I remain completely silent.
4. Small talk doesn't seem to fit my mood and I'd have no idea what to say regardless.
5. "....."
6. They chatter away without a care in the world while kir and I exchange serious looks.
7. "....."
1. "So how long are you guys here?"
2. "Depends."
3. "On?"
4. I challenge.
5. Kir's sad eyes slide over to mine.
6. "I want a chance."
1. A chance to explain, or a chance with me?
2. "Isn't that what she gave you all those weeks in your house?"
3. Mom asks, coming to my rescue.
4. Thank you, god.
5. "I fucked up. It was wrong not to tell you..."
6. Kir's voice is thick with emotion, unlike I've ever heard her before.
7. "Mina is a mega-beast who..."
8. "No, king. This is my mess. I will fix it."
1. Kir holds up one hand, silencing her brother.
2. I have no idea why, but the sudden urge to ease her pain and anguish flares up inside me.
3. "I'm here aren't I?"
4. I say, meeting kir's eyes.
5. Her sad look dissipates ever so slightly.
6. An hour later, we're on our second bottle of wine.
7. And our food is finally delivered.
1. While eating mom keeps asking kir about her work.
2. Though the conversation buzzes around me, I can barely keep up.
3. My head is filled with questions about kir's marriage to a woman she admittedly doesn't love.
4. Why did she marry her? Where has she been while I've been sleeping in their bed?
5. My entire relationship with her now feels tainted.
6. Despite our precarious start to things, I'd started to believe that she'd been brought into my life for a reason.
7. Sent to me like a guardian angel to heal mom and awaken me sexually.
8. I'd spent two months living with her, growing close, falling for her.
