Chapter 25: Stay Loyal
If truth was to be told, Minjae had brought Miyeon here to see whether or not she was missing her past life and desired to live that kind of life once again. But he was unable to see any signs of that upon her face.
A part of Lee Minjae was hung up on bringing back the old self of Miyeon— the one he craved for and loved. He was desperate to relive those past memories and wanted to recreate them with Oh Miyeon.
However, the innocent little girl from back then had turned into a mature woman, and even he had changed in lots of ways from back then. Although his desire seemed very close to impossible, he did not want to give up hope this easily.
If Oh Miyeon wanted to go back to lead her previous life, he had no problem in indulging her into going on.
Even if his Lee Family would not be on board with the idea, that was a simple matter to him. Even if things did not appear so, Minjae believed that he had everything under his control.
But up until now, Minjae was unable to see any possibility of her wanting to live that luxurious life, and it appeared that she enjoyed her current life more.
Lee Minjae did not understand the reason behind it; he didn't believe that he will be able to lead a life without luxury yet she seemed to find joy in every single moments.
Very clearly Minjae could recall the day Miyeon was on his side, when everyone else close to him abandoned him, despite being humiliated by him countless number of times and the victim to his numerous pranks.
Staring at the teachers with her defiant eyes, Miyeon told them off for blaming someone about stealing exam papers without concrete evidence, and later, she scolded the carefree Minjae on being a fool for not saying against this.
It was easy for others to suspect Minjae since he was notorious around the entire school, and that matter did not surprise him. Despite the truth being the fact that Minjae didn't steal the exam papers, Minjae thought it was quite foolish for Miyeon to trust him.
Then again, it was probably that foolishness that got Minjae to fall for her.
A thought to test the current Miyeon about a same situation came in his mind— in order to check whether or not she had changed— but immediately, he brushed that thought off of his mind. He did not want to put her through anything more.
"Are you really serious about not taking part in your family business?" Miyeon questioned, folding her arms across her chest.
Without a hint of seriousness, Minjae replied, "Such things would make me old, and those beauties would get bored."
"You're an adult enough, and you need to think of your prospects for the future. Your irresponsibility isn't going to get you anywhere," she spoke out, "You are going to make me worry at this rate."
In a joking tone and adding a wink, Minjae vocalised, "If this makes you worry about me, then I don't mind being like this forever."
"Geez, You Creep! If you can't stay loyal to your fiancée, then you should break it up with her. After all, other girls don't enjoy being victimised," she pointed out.
"Do you think Bohyun would allow it if I want to break up with her?" he asked.
Before Miyeon could get a chance to reply, a male in late thirties approached them with his female partner.

ShinSungmi Thanks for the support everyone!
By the way, I just changed the title and the cover hehehe! How's the story going so far?
Chapter 26: An elementary kid
The restaurant the two of them went to was most definitely a high-end restaurant, judging from its luxurious interior and the waiters hired to offer the services.
Leaving the party mid-way, Lee Minjae— whose card was unfrozen— decided to bring Oh Miyeon out for a meal, and Miyeon knew how to appreciate free meals— more when one was as expensive as this.
The two of them were currently inside a room within the restaurant, and the comfortable seating pleased Oh Miyeon.
Two plates delicious T-bone steak was placed infront of both of them, emitting a mouthwatering scent. Glass of red wine to accompany their meal was beside the plate, and the bottle of wine along with fresh white lilies were at the centre of the table.
Cutting the steak with the knife, Miyeon picked up the soft piece of meat with her fork and placed it inside her mouth. Chewing it, Miyeon had to stop herself from moaning at the taste. Lee Minjae surely knew how to choose the best places!
Extending her hand, she held on to the glass of the red wine and took a sip out of it. The only word she could describe the wine with at the very moment was perfect.
"Now, that you have your card unfrozen, do great me to such foods in the future," she vocalised, "I might abandon my instant noodles because of this."
"You're being quite shameless now, Oh Miyeon," he pointed out.
Staring at Lee Minjae, she curved the corner of her lips to form a wide smile and spoke out, "I don't mind being shameless in front of someone like you, who is way more shameless than me. Plus, I deserve it for helping you at your desperate times."
Lee Minjae let out a chuckle and stated, "Aren't you a coward who is afraid of Oh Bohyun? I am pretty sure you will be too scared to be seen outside with me."
Shaking her head, Miyeon said, "That's nonsensical. I don't want to get into trouble; that's different from being cowardly. Now, that I am already in her target list, why not make full use of you?"
"Make more use of me then, Miyeon-ah, without being afraid of her," he verbalised, "I am there for you. I can protect you from all the dangers out there."
Lee Minjae's words caught her off guard for a second, and raising her head, she stared at him with widened eyes before letting out a laugh.
"Is that how you get those young ladies to fall for you?" she questioned before admitting, "Well, I guess that my heart fluttered slightly, but I wonder how much of it is the truth. You're still scared of your parents."
"I will just say that I am too scared of Bohyun; she is too controlling and doesn't let me have any female friends. She is not even fun. Everytime I pull a prank on me, she cries to my parents about it. What is she— an elementary kid?" Lee Minjae ranted on.

Minjae's character is my favourite here.
Miyeon might seem like a coward here, but there will be character developments in the future.
