Daisy Flower In Winter
Chapter 21's

The party has begun, from the welcome of the host and join together to start the event. The melody of the music sounded so beautiful, all the guests gathered in the middle to start the dance following the music.

"Hwan-ki!!" call Hyun-ri slowly.

"Hm, why my big baby?" hwan-ki asks while looking at Hyun-ri.

"Wanna dance with me?"

"certain"

Hyun-ri turns to Seok Gwan for approval and Seok Gwan nods lightly. With a pretty smile Hyun-ri clings to Hwan-ki's arm and walks side by side towards the dance area.

"Did you see him yesterday?" ask Seo Yoon to Seok Gwan.

"Hm, I wasted my time meeting him in the morning"

"Why hasn't he given up yet?"

"Of course, if he's still acting. I will make the business disappear in a matter of hours" Seok Gwan replied as he drank wine and watched Hyun-ri and Hwan-ki.

"Hm, we still have to keep an eye on him" said coldly Seo Yoon.

"You know, that bastard guy won't just give up" Seo Yoon continued

"Yes, I know"

"Have we told you the truth about Hyun-ri? To make Hyun-ri more worried with him" Seo Yoon said.

"You don't remember Jong-un before? To not tell Hyun-ri, so Hyun-ri doesn't feel guilty for Jong-un appa" Seok Gwan explains.

"Yes, I remember. One year ago, when Jong-un got us three together. Due to the issue of financial statements being manipulated by Hyun-ri himself to cover all the losses due to the injection of funds into Gun-yo's company"

Hyun-ri's three best friends and Hyun-ri's parents already know that Gun-yo is a scoundrel and cunning man. That's why Hyun-ri's three best friends don't let Hyun-ri get close or meet Gun-yo together.

Because it can be ascertained, Gun-yo will discuss cooperation documents, ahh more precisely the injection of funds as his cunning drain the funds from the Han company.

"You remember that clearly. And because of that, we always strictly forbid Hyun-ri not to approach Gun-yo anymore. I don't know until when that bastard will continue to take advantage of Hyun-ri's kindness and innocence" Seok Gwan replied coldly.

"Yes, even Han Group got to the brink of bankruptcy because of Gun-yo. But always, Hyun-ri's ingenuity can save his company"

"Hyun-ri is indeed talented in the business world. But he is also easy to use" replied Seok Gwan with a soft sigh.

"You're right" Seo Yoon replied confirming and smiled faintly.

Hyun-ri is good at managing her business, no wonder why she is talented in the business world. That's because the blood of the business owner appa is flowing to him. Hyun-ri is able to recoup all the losses caused by Gun-yo with the other businesses he developed. Any business that Hyun-ri starts will quickly grow rapidly.

How many times Gun-yo's scheming plan to reap an injection of funds from Han's company, still doesn't make Han's company falter. Hyun-ri is too smart to keep his company but he is too stupid and naive when it comes to Gun-yo.

*******

"Opa!" call Hyun-ri slowly

They were dancing to soothing music.

"Hm, why? Say it!! I know, you wanted to tell me something from now on" replied Hwan-ki staring fixedly at Hyun-ri's beautiful bead.

"How do you know, my relationship with Seok Gwan oppa?" ask Hyun-ri slowly and return Hwan-ki's gaze.

Hwan-ki smiles warmly as the question is asked by Hyun-ri. Hwan-ki knows everything, Hwan-ki hears and sees everything.

Flasbacks..

"I love you" said Seok Gwan.

"Hm, I also oppa" Hyun-ri replied.

Hwan-ki hears everything Hyun-ri says to Seok Gwan who is asleep in his sleep. And he also hears confessions and things that Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri do behind the door of Seok Gwan's room that he opened a little.

Hwan-ki who heard and saw all that just smiled faintly and closed back the door of Seok Gwan's room slowly. He walked back to the living room and drank the wine in his glass up to the toilet.

Flasback.....

"I know, when Seok Gwan got drunk at the club he confessed his feelings for you. And.. When we vacation in Jeju. I also know her" explained Hwan-ki with a warm smile.

Hyun-ri who heard that immediately lowered her hand that was hanging pretty hugging Hwan-ki's neck.

"You don't want to dance with me anymore, my big baby?" hwan-ki asked still with his warm smile.

Grep...

Hwan-ki pulls Hyun-ri's waist to get closer to her. He squinted and moved his head to align with Hyun-ri's shorter face.

"Why are you quiet, Hyun-ria?" hwan-ki asked right in front of Hyun-ri's ruum lips.

"Are you too surprised, I know everything? Actually I've known it since we were in high school" explained Hwan-ki.

"But Seok Gwan is stupid and cold and insensitive to your feelings" Hwan-ki said, holding his head up and still holding his arms around Hyun-ri's waist.

"You know that, as long as it's oppa?" tanya lirih Hyun - ri.

"Of course, even though I have a cold nature and attitude. But I'm not as cold as Seok Gwan to the point of being insensitive around me" Hwan-ki replied with a warm smile.

"Stop that smile of yours, oppa!" hyun-ri said with a sad look.

Hwan-ki is still smiling warmly and staring at Hyun-ri's beautiful bead. Hwan-ki takes off his embrace on Hyun-ri's waist and puts some distance between them.

"Back to Seok Gwan and Seo Yoon. I have to see Mr. Kang for a while" said Hwan-ki, who turned around and left Hyun-ri in the crowd of dancing guests.

"What's wrong with you, Hwan-ki oppa?"

********

Jealousy, pain, and anger. We can all feel our hearts and feelings. When we see our loved ones so close to others. Seok Gwan sees everything, his heart throbbing in pain seeing Hwan-ki pull Hyun-ri's waist and get close to him. So intimate in the eyes of Seok Gwan. He was so angry to see all that in front of his eyes, where his lover was so close to another man.

With the anger he endured and trying to understand everything, he walked away from the party area to give himself time alone to dampen his anger. After all Hwan-ki is his best friend and Hyun-ri. They were friends from small, so it wasn't natural that they were so close like that.

"Damn" said Seok Gwan by clenching his hands tightly.

Bugh....

Seok Gwan struck the tree in front of him, severely injuring his hand.

"Why did you hurt yourself, young master Kim?" asked Aeri who suddenly came from behind Seok Gwan.

Seok Gwan did not comment on Aeri's words, he did not even turn his head towards Aeri.

Grep...

Aeri raised Seok Gwan's hand and bandaged Seok Gwan's wound with her handkerchief.

"Don't hurt yourself. I've covered your wounds, but you must immediately treat it" said Aeri sweetly.

Seok Gwan remained silent with his cold and flat face. He also let Aeri bandage his wound.

"You seem very irritable to speak. All right, I'll go first. Remember, don't forget to treat your wounds"
