Daisy Flower In Winter
Chapter 36's

Hwan-ki mansion...

Hwan-ki is enjoying his own night. He was sitting on the balcony terrace of his room, accompanied by a glass of wine.

"Do I have to reveal everything?" ask yourself, though,

"But, what if he keeps away from me?"

Huhhhhh...

Hwan-ki sighed softly and smiled wryly.

"You're a hell of a loser compared to Seok Gwan" he joked to himself.

Hwan-ki is twitching with his own thoughts and feelings. He still can't make all the decisions about his feelings.

"Should I tell you everything? And follow Seo Yoon's advice." said Hwan-ki back and recalled his conversation with Seo Yoon.

"Didn't you want to express your feelings for Hyun-ri?" seo Yoon asks seriously towards Hwan-ki.

Hwan-ki is still speechless not answering anything, he is still focusing on the phone in his hand. As if not interested in answering Seo Yoon's question.

"Hyun-ri and Seok Gwan" Seo Yoon says back and makes Hwan-ki stop her finger from wiping her phone, pretending to be busy.

Hwan-ki stares flatly at Seo Yoon who is also staring at him.

"I already know, if the two of them establish a relationship into a pair of lovers" said Seo Yoon flatly.

Hwan-ki is a little surprised to hear it, but he still puts on his flat face.

"Oh yeah? I don't know. Let it go." lie indifferent Hwan-ki and refocus on his phone.

"You know. But, you just pretend and keep your feelings hidden."

"I don't want to discuss anything." replied indifferently Hwan-ki,

"You have to express it, even if you don't have it. But, at least you didn't keep that feeling for much longer" Seo Yoon said.

Pukkp...

"That will heal your disappointment for the umpteenth time" said Seo Yoon patting Hwan-ki on the shoulder and walking away leaving Hwan-ki alone.

Huhhhhh...

Hwan-ki again sighed softly and enjoyed the wine.

"I can't." said Hwan-ki with a wistful look.

Restorants...

Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri are already at the restaurant. They were enjoying their dinner at a fine restaurant in the middle of the city.

Again and again Hyun-ri is always daydreaming, to make Seok Gwan nervous because many times he invites to talk but is not ignored by Hyun-ri.

"Hyun-ria." call Seok Gwan

"Hm, why oppa?"

"You really why? What are you thinking?"

"What do you mean, oppa? I'm okay and there's nothing I'm thinking about." Hyun-ri replied calmly.

"Then why are you always daydreaming?" ask Seok Gwan flatly,

"I? No, I'm not daydreaming oppa. I was just enjoying my dinner." elak Hyun-ri.

Seok Gwan sighed in surrender. It's free for him to ask, Hyun-ri won't answer him and tells him the problem.

"All right, it's up to you. Spend it, after that we go home." said coldly Seok Gwan.

"You angry?"

"No."

Hyun-ri softens her breaths. It seemed like he had made Seok Gwan a little less comfortable, as he only thought about his problem and paid less attention to Seok Gwan who was with him.

"Sorry oppa." said sorry Hyun-ri with a deep bow.

"Sorry oppa, I can't tell you. If I tell you, you will definitely be angry with Gun-yo oppa." Hyun-ri's inner self feels guilty.

"Oppa, I want to go to the toilet first." said Hyun-ri,

"Hm, go."

Hyun-ri gets up from her seat and walks towards the toilet. He wanted to calm down first, so that he could focus more on Seok Gwan who was with him.

Bugh...

"Oh, I'm sorry" Hyun-ri said as she accidentally bumped into someone as she was walking around daydreaming.

"It's okay" said the man,

"You?" hyun-ri says it's like knowing a woman she accidentally hit.

"Oh, weren't you the one with Gun-yo oppa?"

"Yes, sorry we didn't get acquainted at the time. Are you with Gun-yo oppa?"

"No, I'm alone." replied Aeri with a faint smile.

"Hm, Hyun-ri" Hyun-ri said by reaching out to get acquainted.

"A.."

"Hyun-ri!!" call Seok Gwan all of a sudden as Aeri is about to introduce herself.

Aeri, who saw Seok Gwan walking over, smiled. It was as if he was planning something crafty.

"Seok Gwan oppa, are you here? I miss you." said Aeri spoiledly and immediately hugged Seok Gwan.

Hyun-ri who saw that could only stay stiff where he stood. His eyes warmed up and his heart throbbed pain looking at Seok Gwan who was just silent as he was being embraced by another woman in front of him affectionately.

"Oppa.. You you?" said Lirih Hyun-ri with teary eyes.

"Let me go, jal*ng." said furious Seok Gwan who was still held tightly by Aeri.

"No, I still miss you. Don't you miss me? You just left my apartment, for work reasons. But, look now!! You're in this party with another woman" replied Aeri in an irritated tone and further tightened her embrace.

Hyun-ri's heart breaks at the words of the woman who hugged her lover, she can't even hold back her tears from falling from her eyes. Hyun-ri is no longer able to see and hear. He immediately ran away leaving Seok Gwan and Aeri who were still hugging Seok Gwan.

"Hyun-ri!!!" call Seok Gwan yelling.

Bruck...

Seok Gwan pushes rough Aeri to take off his embrace. He looked at the nyalang Aeri who fell down and revealed a sly smile.

"You!!!" said Seok Gwan,

"Well, it seems like your relationship is more than a friend" said Aeri with a triumphant smile and stood facing Seok Gwan.

"I'm so happy to see your lover cry." continued Aeri with a big smile in front of Seok Gwan.

"I'll avenge your insults, Seok Gwan-ssi."

Aeri walked away leaving Seok Gwan who held back his anger so as not to do more to Aeri that second as well.

"I'll kill you, Kim Aeri" said Seok Gwan infuriated.

Seok Gwan walks quickly out of the restaurant, he tries to contact Hyun-ri, but is not connected. Seok Gwan is convinced that Hyun-ri accidentally turned off his phone.

"Damn it!!!" seok Gwan was angry.

"I'll make the calculations with you, Kim Aeri. I'm going to avenge Hyun-ri's tears tonight." said Seok Gwan with stifled emotions.

Seok Gwan quickly headed to the parking lot of his car. He will head to Han's residence to explain the misunderstanding that Aeri made to Hyun-ri.

********

"I hate you, oppa. I hate you." - said Hyun-ri with the stuffing she held.

Hyun-ri is in a taxi, choosing to leave the restaurant because she can't see Seok Gwan with other women. Hyun-ri needs her own time, Hyun-ri needs to vent out all the feelings she holds.

Hyun-ri decides to go home to her secret apartment, so that no one knows about her pain and sadness. And he is also not ready if he has to meet Seok Gwan who might come to the mansion.

"I hate you."
