Reborn: The Unexpected Twist

Lifting her face up gradually, Lee Jinkyung stared at Han Taehyun in front of her. Her knees, elbows, and nose ached the most. Seeing her state, Han Taehyun closed his eyes for a second whilst deep inside he felt extreme joy and sense of achievement.

'After this, that nose of hers is going to require surgery.'

Blood flowed down Lee Jinkyung's nose whilst a bump was starting to form on her forehead. Worry on Han Taehyun's face intensified while Lee Jinkyung wanted to disappear at this moment due to embarrassment. 

If it was not for Han Taehee being late and conversing with her there, this wouldn't have happened. Yesterday, if Lee Jinhee did not hang up the call so abruptly, then Jinkyung did not have to come here.

Her eyes gave away her current feelings easily at this moment, and when she realized glaring at Han Taehee, Lee Jinkyung blinked her eyes immediately. Tears formed at the corner of her eyes, and her lips quivered.

"This is horrible! Let me help you up," Han Taehyun spoke out. 

Holding her shoulders, Taehyun tried to pull her up, and Lee Jinkyung put on her best pitiful expression. Her knees and elbows burned painfully, and she could feel the warm liquid dripping down her nose.

Standing up with Han Taehyun's help, Lee Jinkyung raised her hand to hold her nose and stop the blood flow. Nonetheless, blood covered the part of her face below the nose.

As Han Taehyun began to walk, he pretended to stumble and loosened his grip on Lee Jinkyung. Losing her stability, Lee Jinkyung fell down on the ground again with her knees supporting her this time around. A piercing pain went through her knee, and a scream left Lee Jinkyung's mouth. 

"I'm so sorry. I just lost my balance now," Han Taehyun voiced out before supporting Lee Jinkyung up.

Lee Jinkyung had no strength left within her to reply to Taehee or curse at her internally. Closing her eyes slightly, she let her support inside the grand mansion. In the midst of her agony, Lee Jinkyung was not able to properly enjoy the beauty of her surroundings.

Placing Lee Jinkyung down on the floor, Han Taehyun stood up straight and let out heavy breaths, showing how tired he was— although I actuality he was not even slightly tired.

"I don't think I can continue anyone. You sit here, and I'll get the first aid kit for you," Taehyun spoke out before turning his back on Jinkyung and walking away.

Lee Jinkyung did not like the idea of sitting down on the ground. Immense pain spread through her body rapidly, and leaning against the wall behind her, Jinkyung prayed for the pain to stop.

She had no energy to hold her nose any longer, and placing her hand down, Lee Jinkyung closed her eyes shut. Due to the aches, Jinkyung could not even lose her consciousness properly and escape the current agony.

Once she gained back energy, she will definitely get back at that Lee Jinhee.

Sitting at one of the chairs in the library, Lee Jinhee stared at the contents of the book although her mind was not exactly on it. After Jinkyung and Taehyun had entered into the mansion, Jinhee decided to find a book to read inside the library.

The door to the library opened at that moment, and turning her head, Lee Jinhee stared at the direction of the door. Han Taehyun rushed into the library with a wide smile on her face.

Stopping in his steps when he was in front of Lee Jinhee, Han Taehyun questioned, "So, how do you think I was at this moment?"

Staring at Lee Jinhee with sparkling eyes, it looked as if Han Taehyun was waiting to be praised. In Jinhee's opinion, Taehyun looked extremely cute at this moment.

As Jinhee was about to open her mouth, she realized that she decided to give him the silent treatment, and therefore, clenching her left hand, Jinhee raised her thumb up. She showed that to Han Taehyun with a wide smile on her face. 

Han Taehyun pinched Jinhee's nose softly and voiced out, "It seems that you are quite satisfied with my actions. For humiliating Lee Jinkyung like that, don't you think I deserve a kiss?"

Taking her phone from the table, Lee Jinhee switched it open, and swiping across the screen, she found Han Taehyun's name. Clicking on the chat box beside his name, Jinhee typed something on the phone.

"Jaehyun helped me from Jinkyung two times. Should I kiss him as well?" The text read.

Hearing his phone ping, Han Taehyun took his phone out, and after clicking on the screen, he read the text Jinhee sent him.

"Geez! You're really getting good with your words," Han Taehyun voiced out.

With a bright, victorious smile on her face, Lee Jinhee stuck her tongue out at Han Taehyun, and she typed another message to him.

"Learned from you."

Reading the message from Jinhee, the smile on Taehyun's face got wider. Patting Lee Jinhee's head, Han Taehyun messed up her hair on purpose, and raising her hand up, Lee Jinhee slapped his hand with her utmost strength. Han Taehyun took his hand back, and Jinhee rubbed the top of her head to fix it.

"Good job, Student! However, you can not use these techniques against your teacher," Han Taehyun stated.

Lee Jinhee sent him a message whilst wearing a smirk on his face.

"Why? Is teacher afraid that he will lose against his student and therefore, his reputation?"

Han Taehyun chuckled, and pinching Lee Jinhee's nose, which caused to scrunch up her nose, he voiced out, "No, the teacher doesn't want the student to feel insecure and cry when she loses against the teacher."

"I will defeat my teacher one day," Lee Jinhee sent.

"That motivation is good! I'll be waiting for it then even though it might take around a thousand years and I might not be able to stay alive until that day."

Lee Jinhee pinched Han Taehyun's arm whilst her eyes glared at the man in front of him. Scoffing at him, Lee Jinhee turned her attention back to the book she was reading.

As Taehyun pulled the book away from her hand, Jinhee turned her head to look at the male and raised up one of her eyebrows. What did he want to do at this moment?

"Don't read this boring book at this. Follow me down, and I'll show you fun," Han Taehyun spoke out.

Before Lee Jinhee could reject, she could feel her body being dragged out of the chair by Han Taehyun. Sighing, she grabbed her crutches and decided to follow along. Watching Lee Jinkyung suffer did not sound like a bad idea to her. After all, compared to what Lee Jinkyung was planning to do, this wasn't nothing.
