Chapter 84: Scandal (2)

This does not belong to me. It is translated by KobatoChanDaiSuki.   

Perhaps among those who had left her, Tess Gilly could have been among them. No, looking at the situation, it was almost certain.

But first, confirming it came first. Although there was no guarantee that Kaya would tell the truth......If she were to lie, with would only backfire on her. They could only wait for her to choose a clear option.

Martin moved his feet. He, who sat in front of Jo Minjoon with an exhausted face, smiled. Jo Minjoon looked at him with a somewhat anxious face.

"What happened? You said that it was somewhat related to me."
"......Well, there's no need to hide it, so I will just tell you. A scandal regarding Kaya exploded."
"A scandal?"
"It seems like it is related to her middle school days, but we aren't certain yet. The important thing is that many people already read it, and we think that it will soon become a big topic."
"Does Kaya know of this?"
"Not yet, but she will soon because she has to hear being a jerk."

Jo Minjoon's eyes became dark. It was something that he vaguely knew. That there was a case bigger than what he had thought in Kaya's school days because Kaya herself had said it when she became a star chef later on.

Although he didn't remember the name, he had heard that she was once close with Kaya. However, she was from an upper class, thus it was what separated them.
When they became so distant with each other to the point that they couldn't even look at each other, Tess earned a scar on her body that she had to carry for life, so kaya could only drop out of school. But it wasn't a problem for Kaya. Although Kaya was the bad type, Tess wasn't much different. However, the one who got a scar was Tess. If the situation was the opposite, Kaya would still be attending school.

Did a scandal like this happen? It was something that didn't happen in Jo Minjoon's memories. Perhaps he could have influenced it. If there was a difference with Kaya's original life, the existence of Jo Minjoon was all of it. Originally, she would have faced the broadcast much darker than she was right now, but due to that, she lived every day more cheerfully. That could be what triggered the person who slandered Kaya, the trigger that originally shouldn't have been pulled. Jo Minjoon opened his mouth.

"........When are you planning to tell her?"
"Right after our interview ends. This kind of problem is better handled the faster it is solved."
"Whew........Right."

Thinking about Kaya that suffering from that ill comment for a long while, he didn't feel good at all. Perhaps they were being considerate of Jo Minjoon's feelings, but the interview didn't continue for long. After he forced himself to smile and reply to some formal interview questions, he went out the room and he saw Kaya leaning on the wall. He slightly glanced at her hand, but fortunately he didn't see her handphone.

"What are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for the interview."

Kaya replied shortly. He didn't know why, but he felt that her voice was filled with disdain. Jo Minjoon asked with a dubious voice.

"Did I do something wrong?"
"You were always like way, as if I'm about to get angry. I'm not angry!"
"I think that you are right now."

Kaya's eyes twitched.

"You are gentle to the likes of Chloe and you even gave her your handkerchief, but why do you always look at me like a troublemaker? I know that I couldn't learn and I'm poor. But I'm tactful and have my pride, so stop treating me like a kid."

He wanted to refute back something at her words like a habit, but he shut his mouth. Thinking about it, it wasn't unreasonable that she was talking like this. Just like when a parent open their mouths with good will, those words would mostly be heard as a lecture.....If he said that it wasn't the case, she would be pestering him until he got sick of it. He replied with a bitter face.
