Love of My Life

It was true that the Kim family was disappointed, especially grandpa Kim that his best friends were getting their grandchildren married just four months after they lost Kiaraa.

He believed this was a disrespect towards the girl, who just died by getting her husband married to her sister.

Therefore, no one from the Kim family showed up at the wedding. It was their silent protest.

Ian smiled awkwardly and ruffled his hair, "Yeah, because we all love Kiaraa a lot" Ian put his arm around Kiaraa's shoulder annoying Song Ji Hun.

"Enough of this talk, did you have your lunch?" Kiaraa worriedly asked Ian.

'I wish she could show at least 10% of that worry to me' Song Ji Hun sulked in jealousy.

"Not yet"

"Then let's have lunch together" Grandpa Lee declared and they all headed towards the dining room.

Ian was walking with Kiaraa, his arm still around her shoulder.

No one found it weird as Ian and Kiaraa have always been best friends since their childhood. Ian was the only man Kiaraa let near her before she married Song Ji Hun.

Grandpa Lee sat at the head of the table position; his chair was the only one on the shorter end of the table.

Kiaraa sat next to him, at one end of the longer side. Ian was about to sit next to her when Song Ji Hun suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, beautiful!"

Ian turned to his left in reflex as Song Ji Hun was standing behind him at his left side but as soon as Ian turned, Song Ji Hun swiftly walked past him from his right and sat next to Kiaraa.

By the time, Ian turned back towards the table in confusion, Song Ji Hun was already sitting on the chair, Ian was planning to sit on.

'Bastard' Ian cursed the sneaky man and unwillingly sat next to him.

"Why did you suddenly exclaim in surprise, Ji Hun?" Ian asked not letting him off the hook as because of that he couldn't sit with Kiaraa.

"I got excited when I saw so many dishes on the table" Song Ji Hun lied, happily sitting between Kiaraa and Ian.

'What a smooth liar!' Ian cursed the man and looked at Aera, who was lost in her own world.

Since, the moment grandpa announced she would be only a temporary CEO and has to work with Kiaraa, her mood turned foul.

'Today, is officially the worst day of my life' Aera thought to herself.

"Aera, why do you look sad? What happened?" Ian suddenly asked her, startling Aera as Ian rarely talks to her.

He never bothered himself with anyone except for Kiaraa.

"I am not sad. I am just tired" Aera casually answered him.

"Hmm marriage arrangements can take toll on one's health, it is damn tiring. Although the wedding didn't happen, the arrangements must have been still exhausting for you two. Right, Ji Hun?" Ian taunted the two people.

"Hey, don't cross the line" Lee Gun suddenly warned Ian.

Although, Lee Gun loves Kiaraa more and is closer to her, that doesn't mean he would let an outsider bully his other elder sister, Aera.

Kiaraa too taunted her multiple times, which everyone noticed but no one uttered a word as she just came back home after four months but if some outsider tries to insult Aera, then the Lee family won't take it lightly.

"Wow, seems like the kid is growing up" Ian smiled at Gun, not getting offended by what he just said.

"Hmm, even this kid is growing up, don't know when the adult-you, would grow up?" Song Ji Hun taunted Ian.

"Don't bother about me" Ian replied.

"I really don't want to but when you keep showing up in my personal space, how can I not?" Song Ji Hun taunted back.

"How can I not show up after knowing my best friend is alive?"

Unlike their grandpas, Ian and Song Ji Hun are frenemies. They are sometimes friendly but majority of the time, an unspoken rivalry exists between them.

This was therefore not new for others, seeing them banter like this.

Song Ji Hun didn't respond and ignored his statement.

"Grandpas, did you miss me?" Ian asked the two old men.

"Hmm, we missed your whole family as your grandpa hadn't been talking to us for the past few weeks" Grandpa Lee said.

"Don't worry grandpa, after we got to know Kiaraa is alive, we were so happy that mom, dad and grandpa decided to fly here tomorrow to specially meet her" Ian informed them.

"Then you too should have come with them" Song Ji Hun indirectly expressed his displeasure to see Ian here.

"How can I not come after knowing the love of my life, is actually alive" Ian seriously said, surprising everyone at the table except for Kiaraa.
