When I Loved You Chapter 78

Yiyoung scoffed but backed off. Back when she had dropped out of school, her depression hadn't allowed her to rest peacefully. This was her first time idling peacefully, and it was so boring! She breathed a deep sigh, not knowing what to do.

Muyeol observed her for a short while, then said, “Do you want to go for a walk?”

“A walk?” Yiyoung looked outside the window and frowned. “What the heck? It's raining!”

Muyeol shrugged, silently communicating that it wasn't a problem.

“Really? Even though it's raining?” Yiyoung tried to confirm.

“Why not? We should give it a try.” Muyeol turned to look out the window, too.

Yiyoung looked outside again. She could hear the drops hit the ground if she paid close attention, something she realized she hadn't done ever since she became a doctor. “I'm not sure I would be able to relax hearing the sound of rain.”

Muyeol turned to look at her, and she continued, “I become very nervous when it rains. It causes more people to get into road accidents.”

“You're not working right now,” Muyeol pointed out, “so just try it.”

“It's weird to hear you say that.”

“Why? Because I'm asking you to try new things?”

“Yeah.”

“There's a garden on the twelfth floor.” Muyeol closed his laptop. “If we go there, you won't get rained on.”

Yiyoung stared at him for a bit, then nodded. Muyeol immediately helped her into the wheelchair.

It was her first time leaving the room, so Yiyoung hadn't known about the bodyguards posted in front of her room. Upon seeing them, she commented, “Wow, there are even bodyguards here.”

“Sangsu sent them.”

“I feel like a VIP,” she said with a big, sunny smile.

“You really are an important person, so enjoy it.” Muyeol put a cardigan over her shoulders. “And tell me if you feel cold.”

“Hey…” Yiyoung suddenly said, “You know, I was a bit nervous.”

“Why?” he asked as he navigated the wheelchair.

“I thought Mr. Cha or Mrs. Kang would find me. You know, to curse at me, throw an envelope filled with money at my face, or drag me away or something.”

“That's why we have bodyguards.”

“Really? Is that really why the bodyguards are here?”

“Did you really believe that? Anyway, my family doesn't think you're enough.”

Yiyoung immediately flared up in anger. “What? I'm not enough?”

“That's what they think. I told you, they're inhumane.”

“You never know, they might end up getting treated by me in the future. Then they'll see how I treat them,” she muttered.

Muyeol silently laughed, finding it adorable how she had puffed up with confidence. But, he hadn't been lying about his family.

Mr. Cha's only concern right now was the fact that Muyeol had received his grandmother's shares. He was the least interested in Yiyoung's existence in Muyeol's life. For him, Yiyoung was a small insect with no ability to influence things. She simply existed, and was not worth any attention. But Muyeol was glad Mr. Cha thought nothing of Yiyoung; he would never try to harm her.

Jaeho, on the other hand, had immediately called Muyeol upon finding out about Yiyoung, tricking Muyeol into picking up the phone by calling through the office since he knew Muyeol had blocked his number.

“Yoon Yiyoung? That crazy, super-nosy girl?” Jaeho had cackled over the phone. “I knew it! Did you like her that much? Who knows what kind of people she's hung out with so far… and you're chasing after a girl like her, huh? You're crazy.”

“Have you guys done it yet? I'm curious as to how many guys she's been with before. Do you know?” he had added.

Back when Yiyoung had dropped out of school, Jaeho had dared to say something terribly similar.

Muyeol had lost all his senses then. He had stormed all the way to Mr. Cha's house to confront Jaeho for talking badly about her. Unable to control his anger, he had attacked Jaeho mercilessly, and he didn't stop, even after Mr. Cha had returned and screamed at him to stop. Muyeol had kept thrashing him, despite being hit with a golf club by Mr. Cha. By the end of it, both Muyeol and Jaeho had ended up in the hospital, sealing their fate as enemies.

“Seeing how much you care about her, she must be real special to you, huh? I should meet her, too. Since we're brothers and all. You're okay with that, right?” Jaeho had blatantly tried to provoke him.

But Muyeol was thirty two years old now. He wasn't going to get influenced by some coy innuendo. “I'm going to sue you, so just wait for that day.”

“What? Wow, suing me for a small exchange between brothers? I guess you didn't know, but it's a common thing, you know? When you have something nice, you have to share it with others.”

“I'll see you in court.”

“W-wait, Cha Muyeol. Did you record the conversation?” Jaeho had immediately tried to fix the situation. “We used to joke around like this all the time when we were in school. Why are you being so serious? I was just joking! I won't do it anymore if it offended you.”

Jaeho did his best to convince Muyeol, but he didn't give in. In the end, Muyeol had shut him down by saying, “I've never joked around with you. Now shut up, and pay the price.”

Muyeol had immediately forwarded the recording to his lawyer after the call, asking him to initiate a lawsuit. He had even considered leaking it to the news reporters. It would bring embarrassment to the Cha family, but that was not Muyeol or Yiyoung's problem to deal with. The offender had to suffer the same embarrassment he had caused, after all.

Afterwards , Jaeho had contacted Muyeol through the office line again and apologized, but Muyeol stubbornly refused to accept it. He knew the only reason Jaeho had been so desperate to fix the situation was because his position as the leader of the major business project was on the line. Muyeol was sure that Mr. Cha had warned Jaeho not to stir up trouble, but of course, he hadn't been able to control himself. Cha Jaeho would never be able to change his nasty personality, after all.
