A Twisted Relationship (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 91

Da Hyun had wanted to become an adult quickly when she was younger. She hated being forced to grow up under her parents’ protection just because she wasn’t legally an adult yet.

Ji Yeon always quietly took the blame onto herself, and each time, Young Sook and Su Cheol would immediately scold her as if they’d been waiting for just that moment.

At first, she’d tried rebelling and expressing how unfairly she was treated, but the more she did, the harsher the scolding became. Going hungry was routine, and sometimes she was even physically hit. Fortunately, once she grew older, they no longer laid a hand on her.

Perhaps it was because she’d realized early on that complaining to Su Cheol about how hurt she felt was utterly meaningless. Because of that, she developed the habit of staying silent, no matter how unjust things felt.

She had accepted the fact that, no matter how much she rebelled against Su Cheol, she could never win.

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly when she’d come to this realization, but at some point, she grew used to Su Cheol’s verbal abuse, and her desire to resist him gradually withered away.

So thoroughly did she wear a mask that she even deceived herself.

She played the obedient daughter, the kind older sister, and acted toward Young Sook as if she were her own child. She did the same with everyone else, too—always smiling to appear as the carefree eldest daughter of Yusong Group, all while hiding her inner anxiety.

Suffering alone like a fool would never solve anything. Yet she bore it silently all by herself because she believed she just had to endure this moment.

“That’s right. I think so, too.”

Da Hyun, reflecting on her life, gave a hollow laugh and forced the corners of her mouth upward.

“Oh, um….”

Kim Yoon Hee instantly regretted her words as soon as she’d spoken them. She hadn’t meant to sound sarcastic, but she knew it must have come across that way to Da Hyun—especially since she herself was in a position where she ought to be bowing her head to her.

To scold her in such a situation—

Yoon Hee quickly added an explanation.
