"How's Areun? Have you found any clues as to why Jaemin married you?" Suddenly Auntie came as Areun walked into the park.


"That doesn't matter anymore Auntie." Answer Areun casually.


"Why?"


"Whatever the reason he married me now I'm already his wife and already a part of this family."


"Ckckck..until when? Only temporarily Areun. When the time comes you'll be kicked out of this house." Said Aunt smirking. Areun swallowed a little trepidation.


"Heuh." Areun let out a long breath.


"Before that happens shouldn't you leave this house? It must have felt bad if you left by being expelled." Said Aunt holding both Areun's shoulders from behind. "There's nothing you can hope for in this house anymore. Jaemin doesn't love you he just uses you." Aunty left Areun in fear.


"Areon!" Jisung's voice approached. "Areun, I'm working today. Whoa.this is fun. Not as scary as I thought." Jisung Story spirit.


"Jisung. I'm glad to hear it." Areun replied smiling enthusiastically.


"What's wrong? Your smile is a little weird?"


"There's nothing Jisung. I'm just hungry, want dinner." Areun replied spinning direction, walking towards the dining room.


"My son!" Aunt's voice surprised Jisung. "It looks like you're starting to look familiar now with the girl?" He approached Jisung.


"Eum...Oh, yes, mother." Jisung answered nervously holding his nape. "He helped me to dare to start working." Answer Jisung.


"Then who will help Mom now to drive the girl out of this house?"


"I don't think he's gonna get out of this house." Jisung sumringah.


"He's going out. I'm gonna separate him from your brother, and then your brother's gonna kick him out of this house."


"If that happens I'll bring Areun back to this house."


"You mean?" Auntie was confused and strange. He stared intently at Jisung full of question marks.


"If he parted ways with Jaemin's sister, then I would marry Areun." Jisung sumringah imagined it.


"What?" Auntie was so surprised.


"Wait a minute, I'm not taking him to this house. I'm working now, I'm gonna rent an apartment out of my paycheck. I don't think Areun would have any problem living in an apartment."


"Don't be crazy you Jisung. I'll never approve."


"Therefore I'll take him to stay in the apartment, away from Mother who annoys Areun. If you manage to separate them, you have given me a way to have Areun. Thanks Mama!" Said Jisung clutching his mother's hand, kissing her cheek and then running up the stairs happily.


"Just like!" Shouted Auntie annoyed.


"What should I do now? Making Areun leave, Jisung will marry him. Just leave him here as long as he won't marry my son. My only goal is to cross Jaemin from the main heir, I don't care about his wife."


......***......


"Well then, though heavy and pathetic, I will leave this house. But before that I had to know what reason made Jaemin choose to marry me" Areun strengthened himself even though he felt very sad and devastated.


...***...


"Just like!" Areun entered Jisung's open room. Jisung was lying face down on his bed while reading a magazine.


"Areun? What's up?" Tanya Jisung sat down. "Sit here!" She held Areun's hand and helped him sit at the bedside.


"I guess now we're getting familiar." Areun said shakingly starting the conversation.


"Yes, then?" In a slow tone Jisung asked.


"I want you to tell me one thing."


"Tell me what?"


"My feelings for you? I like you Areun." Said Jisung in his heart while bowing and smiling.


"The reason why Jaemin would marry me?" Jisung surprised.


"I.that's yes. That's me not knowing either." Jisung stuttered to answer.


"Say your mother all the family members in this house know why. You must know that too."


"Maybe I mean my mother, an old family member. Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, Dad, Mom. If I don't know."


"Don't lie Jisung. I'm so curious."


"Surely I don't know."


"I'm sorry Areun, I lied to you." Jisung regretted it in his heart.


"Yes, then."


"Why don't you ask him directly?"


"He must be lying like before. He'll just say because I like you. But is it possible that he likes me?"


"I can't read Areun's heart. So I don't know about that."


Jaemin, who had just returned to work, looked for Areun and saw from a distance that his wife was talking in bed with her cousin's sister. His heart was starting to feel hot, more than ever. Angrily, he turned down the stairs and went to his room.
