Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71

Tormenting Yoon Jae In—the blemish on my father’s life, the nightmare of my mother—felt like a righteous act.

“You’re kind of dumb, aren’t you? Given your place, why do you act so stiff? You should be groveling, not standing tall.”

“So you tore up my dance outfit because you wanted me to crawl?”

“So what? My mom will just buy you another one anyway. It’s not like you paid for it yourself. Yoon Jae In, in case you didn’t know, everything you own was bought with my parents’ money. That basically makes it mine. I did whatever I wanted with my own stuff—what’s your problem?”

There was a time when I obsessed over how to humiliate Yoon Jae In, how to make her cry.

I hated watching that girl grow more skilled and prettier by the day. It wasn’t enough just to rally my followers at school and the studio to ignore and torment her.

The bullying continued at home too. Piling trash in front of the tiny room under the stairs and forbidding the staff from cleaning it up was nothing. Mom and I would sip tea and watch Yoon Jae In silently clear away the garbage stacked outside her door.

“She’s disgusting. She smells.”

“Shh, don’t be so unladylike. Drink your tea. Dad brought this back from England.”

At those words, my mother, who had been sipping tea elegantly, couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore. That’s how Mom tacitly allowed Yuri to torment Yoon Jae In—and sometimes even encouraged it.

No matter how much I belittled her as trash, Yoon Jae In still drew people’s attention. So I tormented her endlessly, making her life miserable—but I hated that she wouldn’t even talk back, let alone cry.

And now, that very Yoon Jae In was Kang Tae Seo’s fiancée. The man I’d wanted more than anything in my life had originally belonged to Yoon Jae In. That piece of trash. Just… that?
