Episode 4.1
A Japanese restaurant with soft, old-fashioned music playing.
The tables were filled with beautifully plated sashimi and other Japanese dishes, were all neatly presented.
At the side of the table, the owner-chef was personally filleting live fish and placing them on a plate, piece by piece.
“So, how are you my dear, you have been so busy lately, that I haven’t seen you much.”
“Aiqiang, you know how much I like you!”
“Hee hee, I missed you so much. You have such a pretty face.”
My cheeks flushed as I could feel the radiance radiating from that goddess-like face smiling at me.
Oh, you look so beautiful.
It was been so long since I’ve seen her graceful, sweet face that it makes me happy.
Her hair was cut short, just in line with her jawline. Glowing, flesh-colored skin. Her Di Wasond-Encrusted earrings dangled from her collarbone down to the bottom of her ears.
She doesn’t need to do much to look radiant. The way she picks up her chopsticks and passes the sashimi from her plate to the plate in front of her exudes elegance.
Oh Sun-hye, the eldest daughter of the Sunjin Group. She is Cha Ye-bin’s ex-fiancée.
In the original drama, Oh Sun-hye was only mentioned as one of the reasons why Cha Ye-ryun was against Han Seo-ri and Cha Ye-bin’s marriage,
“Were you going to betray this big sister Sun-hye?”
It can be said that the character was created because of this one line.
In The Flower of Trials, Jecheon Group, Daesoo Group, and Sunjin Group were the three largest conglomerates in South Korea. It was no exaggeration to say that these three conglomerates hold the economy of South Korea in their hands.
As such, the relationship between Sunjin Group’s eldest daughter Oh Sun-hye, and Jecheon Group’s Cha Ye-ryun was supposed to
be a natural one from a very young age.
But even if she was a character created because of that simple line of dialogue, her influence here was immense.
After her engagement to Cha Ye bin was broken off, she coolly turned around and quickly took control of the advanced group and was publicly recognized as the heir apparent.
In the Flower of Trials, she was also the flower of the upper world, the queen of the social circle.
Although she was a person from the fake world, her intelligence, and ability to control people in an instant was so outstanding that I sincerely liked her, loved her and admired her.
“Sis, you know how much I love you, don’t you?”
“Of course, I know, sweetheart.”
And I was that big sister’s pretty little girl.
It was never really been portrayed in detail in the drama, so it has never really come to the surface, but Cha Ye-ryun and Oh Sun-hye have been like sisters since they were little. That was why the one to whom I felt the most sorry for after being possessed by Cha Ye-ryun was Oh Sun-hye’s existence.
The original Cha Ye-ryun was too stupid to think of using her powers to her advantage and destroyed herself.
But I was not the original Cha Ye-Ryeon.
After I was possessed as her, I learned Oh Seon-hye’s tastes and pretended to be what she wanted to be to win her favor.
Whereas before, we had a nostalgic relationship based on our childhood memories of growing up together, but now, she was a puppet of Cha Ye-ryun’s who would die at my every word.
“My dear, aren’t you too skinny? Were you having a hard time these days? If I don’t pay attention to you, you’ll be keep on getting skinny like this. What is your fiancé even doing?”
“He took good care of me, I mean Mr. Eun-woo.”
“Oh my God, were you defending your fiancé in front of your sister?”
“Sister!”
“Hoo-hoo, that was cute. Come to think of it, your fiancé has been a little mellow lately.”
“You mean Mr. Eunwoo?”
“Yeah. They said he was warmed up like a spring breeze, from being all cold and putting up a big wall around everyone to being all warm and fuzzy. Were you two…….”
“No, no, no, you were right, we were just a formality.”
“Hmph, yeah? Well, you’d better keep an eye on your fiancé. I’ve heard that not only the girls in the Algebra Group, but even the youngest daughter of Qin Han Construction has fallen in love at first sight and was following him around.”
Who was the youngest daughter of Jinhan Construction?
Sun-hye frowned and reached out to gently stroke my chin. As I gave her my chin, feeling like I was being petted by a big sister, her touch got rougher and rougher.
“Ah, my Ye Ryun, you are so lovely. How can I give you to that man, do you think he’ll take proper care of you?”
“Sis, I was fine if you do…….”
Sun hye giggled like a little girl at my words. She was pretty even when she laughs like that. Such a pretty person…….
If you keep looking at Sun hye’s beauty, you’ll have the urge to cuddle and be cuddled by her. Keep it together, Cha Ye-ryun!
I steadied myself. Today’s meeting wasn’t about being cute, I’ll save that for later.
I sighed and looked seriously into my sister’s eyes, hesitating for a moment to say something, then opened my mouth, pretending to struggle to get the words out.
“Sis, there was something that has been bothering me lately.”
“Oh, what’s wrong, tell me.”
I’ll clean it up for you.
I think I can hear the back words she didn’t say. Oh, she was so cool, I wish she were my real sister.
“My dad has one illegitimate child.”
“Oh?”
“But the illegitimate child…. It was Han seo ri, sis.”
She stopped stroking my hair, her hand full of regret.
The gentle smile on her face suddenly turned into cold hostility towards Han Seo Ri.
Han Seo Ri was the first person in her life to make a deep scratch on Oh Sun Hye’s pride. Even though Han Seo Ri wasn’t worth the risk of creating a deep rift between the Sunjin and Jecheon groups, she succeeded in pushing her away.
It was so lightly and naturally, like she was breathing.
It was probably the first humiliation Sun Hye had ever experienced in her life.
“I was sure you didn’t say that to hit me…….”
She moved her hand, which had stopped for a moment, and stroked my hair again.
“Do you want me to put her away, far away, out of your sight?”
Thud.
My heart just plummeted from my chest to my toes.
She smiled out of the corner of her eye, ran her finger along my chin, and withdrew her hand.
It was so sexy how she was smiling at me brightly, but her eyes were cold and hard. She has a gentle charisma. I love her.
“I can’t bother you too much, it is my job.”
“I can do everything for you, as long as you don’t mind.”
I want to give her everything, even my life. Her soft, caring voice makes my heart skip a beat.
“No, sis, I was just worried about my half-sister, who was going to have a hard time because she doesn’t fit in with our group.”
“Oh, that was too bad.”
“I’d love to teach my poor half-sister well, but unfortunately, I don’t have that much time on my hands.”
“Then I’ll have to find her a good teacher.”
I know just the right person.
