Reborn: The Unexpected Twist

After the pleasant dinner at Hyunbin's house, Jinhee returned to Han Mansion. During the entire time, Jinhee bonded well with her real father and Min Sooah. Although Hyunbin was irritating and tried to create troubles for her, Jinhee did not mind it much. At the end, Jinhee was reluctant to leave.

Stepping into her bedroom, Lee Jinhee yawned. She was too sleepy tonight, and luckily for her, it was a Friday. Therefore, she could sleep until late as there was no school to wake up early for.

As Jinhee sat down on her bed, the door to her room opened, and Han Taehyun walked into the bedroom. Taehyun held a packet of snacks and a laptop in his hand.

With his leg, Han Taehyun closed the door with a kick and then, he made his way towards Lee Jinhee. Placing down the snacks and laptop on the bed, Taehyun clapped both of his hands together.

"Let's watch a movie together," Taehyun vocalised.

"I am sleepy and in no mood for a movie," Lee Jinhee declared.

"Aish! Jinhee-ah, you can sleep after you watch the movie. The weekend is finally here so let's enjoy our time together. Moreover, I've barely spent time you today." Han Taehyun pouted.

Jinhee sighed and said, "Just one movie and that's all, Taehyun."

"Cool!" Taehyun responded.

Adjusting the laptop to a comfortable position, Han Taehyun laid down on his stomach, and Jinhee did the same. As both of them stared at the screen, Taehyun clicked on the laptop screen to select a movie to watch.

Taking the packet of chocolate from the bed, Jinhee ripped the packet off of it. Jinhee took a bite out of it while continuing to stare at the screen. As the drama in front of her played, Jinhee stared at it with droopy eyes.

Yawning, Jinhee watched the drama before her play, and it took her less than ten minutes to fall asleep. As Han Taehyun turned to look at Jinhee, he noticed that she had fallen asleep, and a soft smile formed on his face.

Han Taehyun took the half eaten chocolate from her hand. Picking up the blanket, Han Taehyun placed it on Jinhee, and after doing that, Taehyun continued to watch the movie before him.

Watching a male sleeping beside her caused Lee Jinhee to panic, and her immediate reaction was to jump away, causing her to fall down on the hard floor. Jinhee winced as a sharp pain went through her back.

Hearing the sudden noise, Han Taehyun's light sleep was broken, and rubbing his eyes, Taehyun sat up. Noticing that Lee Jinhee was on the floor, a laugh escaped from Taehyun's mouth.

"What are you doing here, Han Taehyun? Don't you have a room to sleep in?" Jinhee questioned whilst sitting up on the floor.

"No, isn't that why I am sleeping here?" Taehyun questioned.

"Han Taehyun, you are really a pervert, and a big one at that," Jinhee voiced out whilst standing up.

"I was afraid that you'd be restless after I left. Now that I am aware of how possessive you're over me, I will not leave your side that easily," Taehyun stated, "I promise you."

Picking up the pillow, Jinhee directly threw it towards Taehyun's face. When the pillow hit Taehyun's face, a satisfied smile formed on Jinhee's face. Holding the pillow, Han Taehyun winked.

What happened yesterday during the day was not something that Jinhee wanted to recall, and if Jinhee was given a second chance for that, she would not follow that route again.

"Yesterday, I did that due to a lack of sleep. Now that I have had enough sleep, I want you to run far away from me," Jinhee stated.

"Ah! You even said that if you try to push me away, I should try to cling harder to you," Taehyun reminded.

"I take back my words from yesterday, Han Taehyun, so please leave my room now," Jinhee replied adamantly. Her eyes glared at the boy sitting on her bed.

"If you take those words back, I will go and make friendships with hundreds of girls out there," Taehyun said.

Lee Jinhee bit the insides of her mouth, and Jinhee tightly clenched her hand. Her mood suddenly turned unpleasant, and her current emotions were shown on her face clearly.

Before Jinhee could say something, Taehyun vocalised, "Kidding."

Supporting himself on his knee, Taehyun moved towards Jinhee and held onto her waist with his right hand, Taehyun pulled her closer to him. Jinhee's knees sat on the bed whilst her eyes stared at Han Taehyun in confusion.

"Those girls are too boring for my taste. Only you can entertain me this much," Taehyun spoke cheekily. 

Sticking her tongue out at Han Taehyun, Jinhee stated, "I clearly saw how you were laughing with them yesterday. Don't even try to deny anything."

Extending his left hand towards her, Han Taehyun pushed back the bangs from her forehead , and his face leaned closer to Jinhee's face. Jinhee's eyes widened further as she felt Taehyun's warm breath on her face. 

"Jinhee-ah, you won't understand how much it excites me to see you being this jealous," Taehyun voiced out— his voice sounding deeper than usual, which made chills go down Jinhee's back.

Raising her hand, Jinhee tried to push Taehyun's chest away from her and said, "Yah! Han Taehyun, I am officially Han Taeho's fiance from now on. Get away."

Han Taehyun gripped Jinhee's hands as his face neared Jinhee. Lee Jinhee, in order to avoid her face touching Taehyun's, leaned her neck back.

"I prefer scandalous things better. The thrill that they give are amazing," Taehyun voiced out.

Lowering his head, Han Taehyun moved his face closer to Jinhee's neck and placed a kiss there. His actions made Jinhee shocked, and a shiver went down her spine. Nonetheless, Jinhee did not hate the feeling.

Embarrassed that she was feeling this way, Jinhee hit Han Taehyun's forehead with hers, and as a sharp pain went through both of their foreheads, Taehyun loosened his grip on Jinhee.

Jinhee immediately jumped down from the bed, and whilst holding her neck, she stared at Taehyun wide-eyed and defensively.

"Han Taehyun, do you really want to die that early?" Jinhee questioned.
