When she arrived at her house, Yujin immediately jumped down and immediately walked into the house. Several of the uniformed guards assigned by her father to guard her immediately bowed respectfully when she stepped into her luxurious home. And the bow continued when they saw their supreme leader walking quietly into the house belonging to minister Im Jaehyuk with the minister's daughter.
"Is everything safe?"
"It safe, General! There is nothing to worry about."
Jinwoo nodded slightly and immediately walked inside Minister Im's house to confirm Yujin's condition.
"General Lee, would you like something to drink?"
Jinwoo saw Yujin poking her head from the corner of the kitchen door. The man wordlessly followed Yujin who was already in the kitchen and then sat on the pantry chair.
"Just mineral water."
Yujin frowned in doubt at the coldness of Jinwoo who had really gone too far. Can't that guy just act normal when he's with her? Aren't they currently alone in the kitchen? There was nothing wrong with Lee Jinwoo taking off his cold mask and starting to warm to his cute little sister.
"Why are you so cold, General Lee? Every now and then I want to chat casually with you."
Yujin looked frustrated as she placed a glass of mineral water in front of Jinwoo. The man should have been more relaxed with her because President Kang's family and her father were so close since they were young that she was used to playing at Uncle Kang's house with Uncle Kang's son who was only three years older than her, Kang Minwoo.
Unfortunately when she was twelve years old and returned to visit uncle Kang's house, Jinwoo had already moved out. The man chose to stay alone and away from his family because he didn't want to look weak. According to the rumors that Yujin heard, Lee Jinwoo felt that if one day his family would definitely become his weak point. Like what happened to his biological father before he died. The family became his father's weak point until his father died in dire circumstances with his mother because he was killed by his own brother.
As much as possible Jinwoo tried to stay away from his adoptive family. He didn't want his adoptive family to get hurt because he actually really loved them. He was very grateful to his adoptive father, President Kang, who adopted him from the orphanage and gave him so much love. Because of that, Jinwoo was willing to give whatever he had to President Kang's family. Whatever he can give to repay their kindness, surely he will immediately give it without having to think twice.
"We don't need to chat. Just do your activities."
"I know you are very cold and arrogant, general. But I bet you have a warm side that you can show me. You're not a monster or cold-blooded killer like they say so far. So just act like an ordinary human."
Jinwoo stared at Yujin's caramel slices sharply. The man looked at Yujin long enough for Yujin to feel nervous. Unconsciously she was wringing her own hands under the table without daring to stare at Jinwoo's dark iris which was so terrible. She regretted saying those sassy words to Jinwoo. And she did not expect that her words made Jinwoo act terrible in front of her.
"They were right about me. I am a monster and a cold-blooded killer. So don't expect more from me."
The man then moved his chair back a little and walked away leaving Yujin alone in the kitchen. It doesn't matter that woman will be hurt by his attitude or will judge him as a heartless evil man. Because that's how he is. He doesn't like to pretend or impress others because he just wants to be himself.
