Why Do You Look Scared, My Wife?

Ji Soo was already on the second floor, and finally, after a long search, she could find a restroom further inside.

The washroom is spacious, and there are only three toilet doors. For the rest, there are several dressing tables complete with oval round glass.

The lighting in the small room was not too bright, plus there were no windows or ventilation. There were only two air filters on the roof.

The dark atmosphere is not because there are no lights on. But because the lamp emits a dark yellow light.

Ji Soo immediately ran to one of the toilets. She vomited her stomach contents again. She's not used to drinking, and that's what makes Ji Soo powerless to continue the celebration, which could make her drunk.

"I don't think I can stay in this place for long. I'd better go home," said Ji Soo as she moved to get out of the toilet.

She walked to the sink and let the tap water wash her hands. Ji Soo had a chance to look at herself in the mirror, and strangely she looked at herself with a sad look.

"I'm not as beautiful as that woman. It's only natural that Ho Bin prefers and likes her," said Ji Soo, who continued to pay attention to her face.

At that moment, the light in the restroom flickered, and for a moment, Ji Soo seemed to see something visible behind her back. Ji Soo saw a black reflection reflecting off the oval mirror in front of her.

"What's that?!"

Ji Soo immediately turned around. Suddenly she felt scared and swallowed her saliva, and her body started to tremble.

But there was no one or anything behind her back. There was only her in the small room.

"Oh my..! What did I see just now?" Ji Soo still looked around her, which still looked deserted.

"It must be because I've had too much to drink. Yes, it must be that!" she tries to convince herself and rushes out of the washroom.

Ji Soo can breathe a sigh of relief when she's out of the restroom. She could faintly hear the celebrations still going on down there. Ji Soo walked slowly while holding her sling bag and looked down.

She could see Gim Ho Bin talking to Suzy, the two of them looked familiar, and Suzy often touched Gim Ho Bin's arm affectionately. She won't know why, but the scenery down there made Ji Soo silent and no longer walk.

Gim Ho Bin and Suzy were still chatting until a man wearing a blue suit came over and said something. Not long after, Suzy and Gim Ho Bin passed. The two of them were no longer visible to Ji Soo's gaze.

Ji Soo turned around, trying to figure out where Gim Ho Bin and Suzy were going.

A large pillar below blocked Ji Soo's view, and in the end, the two of them were completely out of sight of her.

"Hhh… What the hell am I doing? Why am I curious about what the two of them are doing. Remember, Ji Soo! This is none of your business!"

Ji Soo turned her body, she intended to go down the stairs and leave the celebration night early. But when she turned around, Ji Soo suddenly bumped into something hard.

Bugs…!

Ji Soo rubbed her forehead, feeling something hard and she just hit.

"Are you okay?" asked a man's voice and grabbed Ji Soo's shoulders with a tight grip.

"Sorry, I didn't see if anyone…"

Ji Soo straightened her face, and she was surprised when she saw the figure of a man with a pair of jet-black eyes staring at her.

The man had such a tall stature. Even taller than Gim Ho Bin. His face is no less handsome and charming than Gim Ho Bin. The clear corner of the eye and the sharp look in her eyes made Ji Soo silent as if hypnotized by something.

"Are you okay?" asked the man and immediately interrupted Ji Soo's daydream.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Ji Soo replied and immediately averted her gaze, feeling awkward at the presence of a foreign man she didn't know.

"Sorry, but can you take your hands off my shoulders?" Ji Soo asked.

"Sure," the man complied and still stared at Ji Soo who looked surprised and awkward.

"Why are you here? And not down there to party?" asked the man who had not introduced himself.

"I… I had to go to the restroom and coincidentally the restroom on the second floor was empty. Down there was too full, and I couldn't help myself," Ji Soo tried to explain as briefly as possible.

"Oh, I see," said the man, grinning.

"I have to go back downstairs, and… excuse me," Ji Soo stepped in quickly and passed the strange man who made her uncomfortable.

"Ji Soo?" called the man suddenly and turned his body.

Ji Soo's footsteps stopped, but she didn't turn around. She felt strange that the man called her name.

Ji Soo slowly turned around, and the mysterious handsome man was still smiling broadly.

"H… how did you know my name?" Ji Soo stammered.

"Ji Soo, that's your name, right? Let me introduce myself. My name is Nam Joo Hyuk. Sorry that we haven't introduced ourselves properly," said Nam Joo Hyuk as he approached Ji Soo.

"How do you know my name?" Ji Soo asked and stepped back. She's afraid of the man he had just met and knew her name.

"It's a very long story, even too long. I'm afraid you'll be bored if you hear it later," Nam Joo Hyuk continued to approach Ji Soo, even though the two of them were very close.

"Stop! And don't come near me!" Ji Soo starts to panic.

As she stepped back slowly, no one noticed that there was a ladder very close to it.

It would be dangerous if Ji Soo kept walking backward and was not alert.

Just as Ji Soo was still stepping back. At that moment, she started to lose her balance. She can fall easily and be seriously injured.

At that moment, Nam Joo Hyuk moved so fast and was able to grab Ji Soo's waist before the tiny body crashed and rolled down the stairs.

"Hah!!" Ji Soo is surprised because she barely sees how the mysterious stranger could move so fast and be able to save her.

"Are you always this careless?" quipped Nam Joo Hyuk while showing his devilish smile.

Ji Soo swallowed his saliva, and for some reason, she was scared by the gaze of the pair of black eyes that looked so dangerous.

"Why do you look scared like that, my wife?" said Nam Joo Hyuk casually.
