"I doubt it," Jinyoung replies, also looking at the man currently talking politely to your parents. "Jaebeom loves his brother. He won't sell him for few billion wons. Don't be stupid."
"So is it Youngjae's choice then?" the bitterness evident in your tone.
Jinyoung shakes his head disapprovingly. "Stop it. He tried to talk to you but you refused, remember? How dare you accuse him like that?"
You roll your eyes. Jinyoung is too comfortable pointing out your flaws now. Sometimes you think he's salty because you rejected him, but you know in yourself that Jinyoung is just salty all the time. It fuels him to work harder and beat his competitors. Unluckily, you're the butt of his sarcasms and blatant truths since you spend a lot of time together recently, just for publicity.
"Why don't you just go home if you're not enjoying? Surely your parents will understand that you feel sick celebrating with the rival family," he suggests.
You purse your lips. "I can't go without greeting the lovebirds though. I have to uphold my honour and show respect to others."
"Then I'll come with you to prevent you from begging Youngjae to marry you instead."
"For all I know, you're happy that I'll be forced to marry you now that my lover has given up without a fight," you try to tease as Jinyoung leads you by the shoulder to where Youngjae and Alodia are standing. But it sounds resenting rather than playful.
"Don't be so full of yourself. It's not like I want to marry someone stupid."
You ignore the comment and focus on the hosts. You see the flash of relief when Youngjae's eyes find you approaching them. His mouth involuntarily stretches out to a smile, but it stops when he sees Jinyoung touching you nonchalantly.
He'll never be able to do that in front of these people.
"You came," he says in a formal tone, but for the first time in the evening, he lets go of his fiancée's waist in order to hold your hand.
The touch electrifies you in a not so good way, so you quickly let go and make it seem like you can't bear a handshake.
Youngjae's eyes get less brighter, but he composes himself and turn to Jinyoung with a stiff smile. "Mr. Park, I'm glad you also spare time to celebrate with us."
"Oh, if it wasn't for the insistence of my dearest girl here," he gestures to you, making you frown further. What is wrong with him? "I wouldn't have come here. I don't know most of these people. I just can't let my girl come alone in an engagement party."
Youngjae's eyes pierce you. You three know the truth. You're not Jinyoung's girl. You might be internally gagging at his words claiming possession of you. Youngjae will never address you like that. But then again, Youngjae can never address you as anything else.
"Thank you for still coming despite the short announcement," Alodia Kim says with her charming smile. She turns to you with an excited expression. "You look lovely, if I may say. Youngjae has told me a lot about you."
"Oh?" a brow automatically shoots up. You look at Youngjae and he gives you a stern stare. You turn back to his fiancée. "I wonder how he described me aside from 'the heiress of our rival company that will soon be crushed by my Jaebeom-hyung'."
"Forgive her. She's a bit drunk," Jinyoung quickly follows up and shoots you a look.
Alodia finds it funny though. "Oh my, no, Youngjae just told me you've actually been quite close friends since you were kids. Just that your families are always against each other so you can never meet unless there are occassions like this."
