Sister, Back-off From MY MAN

Chapter 43 - A Girl Caught His Attention

"Kiaraa" Her mom shouted at her and rushed towards the girl to snatch away the butcher knife but before she could do so, Kiaraa again cut that soft toy in more pieces.

Lee Myung Soo, who was with his friends in the study room, came rushing out hearing the loud commotion outside.

When he saw the butcher knife in his daughter's hand, he immediately stepped towards her and gently snatched it away, as he was scared of hurting her.

"What is going on?" Lee Myung Soo angrily looked at his wife.

"That's what I want to know too" Chu Yu Ri replied to her husband before turning back to face Kiaraa.

"Kiaraa, where did you find this? How could you use something so dangerous? What if you would have hurt yourself?" Chu Yu Ri shouted at her daughter.

"Yu Ri, don't scold her" Lee Myung Soo called the main servant who is in-charge of the kitchen.

"Do you people keep such dangerous equipment in reach of children?" Lee Myung Soo scolded the head servant of the kitchen department before handing over the knife to him.

"Sorry sir" The person responsible apologized.

"Ensure, all such essentials are kept out of reach from children" Lee Myung Soo ordered the servant and after he left, Myung Soo sat on his knees facing his daughter.

"Kiaraa, why did you do this?" Her father asked her pointing at the soft toy as he noticed the toy cut in pieces.

Seeing Kiaraa hold the knife and seeing that toy, it was not rocket science for him to figure out that Kiaraa was the one responsible.

"If I don't want something, I'll rather destroy it instead of giving it to her" Kiaraa pointed at Aera, who was in Ji Seo Yun's arms, still resting her head on her aunt's shoulders.

Lee Myung Soo didn't get the context and looked at his wife, who was clearly worried hearing Kiaraa's words.

"Okay, understood. Go and play with your friends" He suggested and Kiaraa went to Ian and Song Ji Hwan, who were clearly still scared from what they witnessed just now.

"Let's go and play" Kiaraa cheerfully said and the two guys looked at each other in shock before obediently following her.

Lee Myung Soo signalled his wife and the two people went to their bedroom to discuss what just happened.

Ji Seo Yun and Sa Da-Hye went to another room where they were hanging out earlier carrying Aera with them.

The only person left in the living room was Song Ji Hun, who instead of being happy for regaining his freedom and peace back, stepped towards the soft toy lying on the floor.

He observed the pieces and how brutally it was butchered.

A small smile was painted on his lips.

'Very interesting, she is. Why did I never notice her before?' he wondered looking in the direction Kiaraa left.

He was the only person, who didn't get scared or shocked by Kiaraa's actions. Rather, he was amused.

This was the first time a girl caught his attention.

He had no idea from this moment his peace-loving life is going to take a turn towards drama and he would enjoy every second of it.

After entering their bedroom, Chu Yu Ri updated her husband about everything that happened until now.

"You know how possessive Kiaraa is about her stuff. Why did you give it to Aera?" Lee Myung Soo scolded his wife instead of being angry with his daughter.

"Aera wanted that toy and I never saw Kiaraa use it. Rather, she always cursed that gift so I thought.." Chu Yu Ri looked guilty.

Lee Myung Soo sighed and gently hugged his wife, "It's not your fault but next time if Aera wants something, let's buy it for her instead of taking stuff away from Kiaraa. That is not appropriate either. We need to teach Aera, what belongs to Kiaraa is only Kiaraa's and she should not ask for it"

He calmly explained his opinion to his wife, who agreed with him.

"Hmm, I'll teach Aera to never ask anything that is not hers but Myung Soo, today Kiaraa's behaviour scared me, it was not normal." She lifted her head and looked into her husband's eyes.

"Although Kiaraa was angry, butchering that toy was a bit too much. It shows the aggression inside her. It is not normal for an eleven-year-old" Chu Yu Ri elaborated on her concern.

"Yeah, we need to handle Kiaraa with love and care" Lee Myung Soo had no idea what else to say.

When he saw the anger in his daughter's eyes, he too was shaken and it was not wrong to say he was a bit scared too but he had no idea what to do with her.

"Myung Soo, why does Kiaraa hate Aera so much? We always ensure to treat them equally rather we favour Kiaraa over Aera, to not provoke her but still.." Chu Yu Ri trailed off as tears started flowing from her eyes.

It pained her to see their daughters not having the sibling-love that they should.

Ian and his sister are loving towards each other and so are Song Ji Hun and Song Ji Hwan. Kiaraa and Aera are the only pair of siblings who lack that bond.

"Where did I go wrong, Myung Soo?" she asked him with teary eyes.

"Yu Ri, stop blaming yourself alone. It is our responsibility to look after them. If something went wrong then it is both of us not just you but I think Kiaraa just says she hates Aera but if need comes, she will protect her sister."

"You really think so?" Chu Yu Ri still looked doubtful but there was hope in her voice.

"Yeah, if the day comes where Aera needs Kiaraa, she will be there for her" Lee Myung Soo, himself didn't believe what he said but right now he wanted to assure his wife, who was clearly more worried and panic-stricken.

"I really hope that's the case" The two people then stepped out to host their guests.

Chu Yu Ri joined the other two women while Lee Myung Soo went to spend time with his friends.

Song Ji Hun on the other hand, stepped out to the lawn where the three people, who were now joined by Kim Do-Yun, Ian's sister, were playing Gonggi, a popular children's game in Korea, which is played with five pebbles.

"Shall we invite Aera too to play with us?" Song Ji Hwan casually mentioned only to get glared at by Kiaraa.

"You'd dare?" she asked him making shivers run through his spine.

'Ji Hwan she is younger than you. There is no reason to be scared of her' Song Ji Hwan told himself but not one word could get out of his mouth, as he recollected how she butchered a toy.

'She will butcher me next so it would be better if I just shut up' he concluded.

"No, I won't" he answered.

The four kids then continued playing, while Song Ji Hun stole glances at the girl, who just scared his younger brother.

Instead of getting angry, Song Ji Hun liked her bold personality.

Unknown to him, he found something that interests him more than reading a book.
