“Oppa~” Juniel sniffed. She ran to Minhwan’s arms once he entered their house.

“Oppa.. what should i do? what should i do???” Juniel hysterically fidgeted, still thinking of ways to escape that arrange marriage without the involvement of hongki since she already promised him that she’ll not call him anymore and bring any more trouble in his life. she already brought enough problems and gave him troubles and she felt sorry.

*flashback (again)*

That night when hongki walked juniel home, (CHAPTER 20)

“kaja. Let me get you home.” he said. juniel happily smiled and hugged his arms.

“Yah! Get your arms off me!” hongki shouted as he violently swayed his arms.

“aish!” juniel cursed in a low voice and removed her arms on him.
