CHAPTER 16

“Noona… Minho-hyung is waiting for you outside…” Sungha called his sister.

“I’m coming…”

This is the first weekend they’ll do a fake date.

“Where are you going?” Mrs. Jung asked.

“Mom, here’s Minho, my boyfriend…” Krystal introduced him to her mom.

“Annyeong haseyo Mrs. Jung.” Minho gave her a bow as sign of respect.

“So you really two are dating…? Do your dad knows about it?”

“uhhh… Mom just tell him if you want to… I’ll be just introducing to him next time.” Krystal answered.

“Aigoo…”

At the park

“I think it’s not effective…” Minho mouthed.

“I guess so…”

“What’s the point of pretending, when at the end, they’ll really force you to marry that guy.” Minho said.

“I don’t know… Let’s just continue acting…” Krystal smiled.

As what he always do, he visits Krystal at their restaurant at 6pm.

He didn’t see Krystal. He asked the staff…

“She’s off to Busan right now sir.”

“Why? What she’s doing there.”

“Noona visited our sick grandma…” Sungha in.

Minho ran immediately towards her car and headed in Busan.

He rushed so much… He’s hurrying as if his time’s gonna expire a soon.

--

[AT BUSAN]

At a small village.

He immediately found Krystal’s grandma’s residence.

He saw Krystal playing with her cousins… and he looked at her grandma… strong and healthy…

“Mwo-ya? I told you the thing that I hate the most is lying…” he told himself. 

He went near them.

“Oppa…” Krystal uttered upon seeing him.

--

“So your grandma is sick…” Minho asked.

“Yes… She was. But she’s ok now. I’m actually late in visiting her here.” Krystal answered.

“Why do you
