Lie To Me novel Chapter 23

"Let's eat." I said.

He immediately stood up from the couch and went to the table and took a plate. It also spooned our rice as I prepared the dish.

"Is this enough or you want me to add more?" He asked. I nodded.

"That’s fine, I'll just get again when I want more." I said. He put two cups of rice on my plate.

We ate while talking. Mostly and at work but sometimes it goes to Mikael.

"Don't believe what they say if it's not connected to work." He said. We are enjoying the banana shake now.

I shrugged. "He's just teasing you. He knows you're so shy when it comes to me." Ani ko.

He shook his head. "He's an asshole." He said.

"True. When you're not there, I don't pay attention to you, I'm just happy to harass you."

He just tsk-ed.

"You're so cute. You're my best friend?" I teased.

It just raised an eyebrow at me. He stood and went to the sink, he started washing the dishes.

"You're my best friend." He said with his back turned.

I went to him and hugged him from the back.

"I know. I'll strangle you if you say no."

He just tsk-ed again and splashed some water on my face.

"There you go, just find something for us to watch." He said.

"Okay. Movie or series?"

"It's up to you."

I nodded and headed to my living room. I searched on Netflix's most viewed movies but found nothing interesting. I switched on Kdramas and settled on the latest trend series.

"If you were Dr. Ji and that happened to you, what would you do?" I asked Hans after watching the first episode.

"I'll go mad." He said.

"Then?"

"And disgusted." He said again.

"Why?" I asked.

Our eyes were fixated on the screen as episode two airs.

"I'll be mad for being fooled by those people I thought were true and loved me."

"And?"

"And disgusted by them for fooling me after loving and trusting them genuinely." He added.

Who wouldn't?

"What would you think she will do?" I asked, referring to the character of Dr. From Sun-woo.

"I don't know. But she seems brave and strong. I know she won't let those people who hurt her have the satisfaction. She will have her revenge."

"Is revenge an answer?" I asked.

"Depends." He answered unclearly.

"On?" I asked more, curious to what he meant.

"What would you choose. If you are going to be a bad guy and hurt those people who hurt you the way they did to you, or, be the good person and move on." He said.

"Being happy for yourself is also a revenge. It is showing them that you can stand without them, that you will live even just yourself." He added.

"Do you think she will choose to be a good person?" I asked.

"Maybe. Maybe not." He said, uncertain.

I sighed.

"I hope she chooses to be happy instead."
