A Twisted Relationship (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 25

Yul was someone more precious to Da Hyun than family.

Da Hyun had been exhausted when she first met Yul. She’d seen too many despicable people who’d smile and chatter sweetly to her face, only to mock and look down on her behind her back as if they’d never acted friendly at all.

Everyone who approached her solely because she was the daughter of Yusong Group always looked at her with eyes full of expectation—as if becoming close to her might somehow drop some benefit into their laps.

She was burdened by those envious stares, directed at her simply for being born into Yusong, even though they didn’t realize she had no real privilege beyond the name.

She began filtering people out—but Yul was different.

Da Hyun had been about to enter the restroom when she overheard her classmates gossiping about her. Even though hearing people talk behind her back was nothing new, it still stung and left her in a sour mood.

Just as she turned around to leave the restroom, a loud bang—as the door hit the wall—and a voice coming to her defense rang out.

“Hey, aren’t you embarrassed? Badmouthing someone for no reason just because you’re jealous? Seriously, it’s so ridiculous I couldn’t even listen quietly. How about you focus on improving yourselves instead of dragging others down?”

“If you’re really that envious, you’ll have to wait until your next life—because in this one, you’re never becoming the daughter of Yusong. So how about you show some gratitude to the parents who gave you life and just work hard on your own path?”

Curious to know who had taken her side, Da Hyun couldn’t stop herself from peeking into the restroom.

At the time, she didn’t understand why Yul—who wasn’t even close to her—would defend her like that. Later, she realized it was simply Yul’s nature.

Yul was genuine, consistent, and never two-faced.

If something upset her, she said so openly. If she was happy, she expressed that honestly too—a truly sincere friend.

That’s why when contact suddenly stopped, Da Hyun felt hurt and angry—but she still waited.

Even if her own family abandoned her, she felt certain Yul never would. That’s how deeply Da Hyun trusted and believed in Yul.
