Having gone to meet a loan shark and sending Mal-hee first, Hee-jin returned the next day collapsed and was immediately transferred to the hospital and hospitalized.
Despite the chaos, the atmosphere at home dismissed the seriousness of Mom’s illness, leaving Hee-jin’s older brother, Hyeong-woo, puzzled. Moreover, while Mom was unwell, if he went to inquire about her health, Mom and Dad would argue continuously.
Hyeong-woo, feeling frustrated, asked his dad on the way to the hospital.
“Dad, but where is Mom hurting?”
“Her stomach hurts.”
“Why does her stomach hurt? Does Mom have cancer too?”
“People have kidneys and beans, but Mom doesn’t have beans, so that’s why.”
“Why doesn’t she have beans?”
“…….”.
Hee-jin’s husband, Lee Du-kyung, let out a deep groan instead of answering.
Hee-jin had already signed the prepared documents and ‘legally’ underwent surgery. Sacrificing her body, she received a reduction in interest. The loan shark had kindly requested her to repay only the principal within six months. The principal alone was 600 million. Apart from the principal, there was no way to get the money, making Hee-jin’s husband, Lee Du-kyung, also perplexed. Perhaps he didn’t even know if he would be next. Even after going through all this trouble, if they couldn’t repay the money, even their son might be in danger.
In the end, taking advantage of the moments Hyeong-woo was asleep on a temporary bed, Lee Du-kyung seized the opportunity to utter the words that had lingered in his mouth for days.
“Hee-jin, let’s get a divorce.”
“What?”
At the husband’s proposal as sudden as thunder from a clear sky, Hee-jin rose with a flushed face. Her body was still inconvenient to move.
“Are you a person?”
“…….”.
“The more difficult the situation, the more you can’t think of overcoming it together, huh? Divorce? Are you going to get out of this crisis alone now?”
“I’m not alone! Think about Hyeong-woo!”
In response to the brief reprimand, Lee Du-kyung, as if waiting, also exploded.
“Who created this crisis in the first place? Who told you to earn money recklessly? Where did you get a loan so daringly and create trouble with it! And now you’re dragging me and Hyeong-woo into the abyss? Are you even human?”
Although they usually lived as a parenting community, this incident completely severed their affection. Once the words were spoken, their hearts became even more resolute. Even the hospital fees for Yang Hee-jin seemed like a waste.
“Hyeong-woo will be raised by me, and I’ll send you the divorce papers tomorrow, so understand that. If you can’t divorce, file a lawsuit or something.”
Lee Du-kyung embraced the sleeping Hyeong-woo and got up from his seat.
“Hey, dear! Dear! Ah! Ugh!”
Hee-jin reached out to call her husband but ended up clutching her stomach. However, without turning around, Lee Du-kyung left the hospital room. Hee-jin’s screams of agony echoed for a long time behind him.
Tuesday morning.
Hee-wook received a call from his brother-in-law, Lee Du-kyung.
“Brother-in-law, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to divorce Hyeong-woo’s mom.”
“You shouldn’t say that, brother-in-law.”
“How can I live like this? If Hyeong-woo’s mom is this distressed, can our Hyeong-woo have a proper school life? What if it spreads to people?”
Still, as a brother-in-law, Hee-wook tried to persuade his brother-in-law, but honestly, he couldn’t wholeheartedly support his sister. Just enduring until now seemed generous on his brother-in-law’s part. If such a thing had happened with his wife, as soon as the words “involved in loan sharking” came up, Hee-wook would have handed over divorce papers.
“Anyway, that’s how it is. I’m sorry for causing you trouble in many ways during difficult times. But I also want to protect our Hyeong-woo.”
After concluding the bitter conversation and hanging up the phone, Hee-wook leaned against the back of the chair and massaged his temples. Even dealing with personal matters was already a headache, and now his sister was causing trouble too. Having gone through a tough situation with a loan shark, he could understand his brother-in-law’s perspective, but the situation wasn’t good. At least, he hoped they could endure for a while.
Hee-wook, more than anyone, wanted to escape from this sewer-like life. His father had passed away, his mother was bedridden, and amid all this, there was a crisis in making a living.
If someday Kim Tae-jun and Han So-eun separated, and Kim Tae-jun went crazy, there might be a glimmer of hope. But what if Kim Tae-jun didn’t even blink? In that case, Hee-wook’s chance of breaking free from this pitiful life would disappear.
While contemplating what more he could do in this situation, his cellphone rang. It was a call from Yulgyu, the representative director of the law firm.
Yangbyeon. The Disciplinary Committee of the Bar Association is scheduled to meet this week. Can you attend?
It was a quicker proceeding than he had anticipated.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
