Arin’s small fist trembled. She bit the inside of her mouth hard, tasting the bitter tang of blood.
Being the good daughter.
The good wife.
The good sister.
All felt meaningless now.
‘No one cared about my pain and wounds. If they did, they could never have done this.’
She despised Kyung-sook, Jae-hyuk, and everyone involved in this deceit.
Arin forcefully pushed open the glass door.
“What are you two doing here?”
Entering, Arin’s presence turned the heads of Jae-hyuk and Kyung-sook.
Their reactions to her arrival were starkly different.
“You’re here?”
Kyung-sook’s gaze at Arin’s appearance was emotionless, unfazed by the surprise.
“…Arin?”
In contrast, Jae-hyuk’s face went pale as if he had seen a ghost.
“You two seem quite close. Doing something nice behind my back?”
Arin glared alternately at Kyung-sook and Jae-hyuk. Though trying to sound calm, her voice quivered with anger.
“Can’t you see? I’m talking with my son-in-law.”
Despite Arin’s entry, Kyung-sook remained shamelessly nonchalant. Jae-hyuk shot a resentful look at her and quickly turned away.
“I need to talk with Arin first.”
Standing up, Jae-hyuk turned towards Arin.
“I’ll explain.”
“…Explain?”
Both Kyung-sook, acting nonchalantly despite being caught, and Jae-hyuk, looking pitifully at her, seemed insincere to Arin.
‘How can they do this to me? How can these two even meet each other!’
The meeting between Jae-hyuk, her almost-ex-husband, and Kyung-sook, whom she believed to be her mother, shattered all of Arin’s expectations.
“What explanation do you need for this situation?”
“Arin…”
“Have you been meeting like this while I was gone? Have you ever thought I would dislike this? Why didn’t either of you consider my feelings?”
Even though she knew it was a foolish question, Arin couldn’t help but ask, feeling wretched.
“Go on, explain!”
Arin shouted. Her small fist shook uncontrollably.
So shameless! You’re truly shameless!
Filled with hatred and resentment, Arin glared fiercely at Jae-hyuk.
“Why are you two together?”
“That’s… I needed to talk to your mother.”
The word ‘mother’ struck Arin’s ears sharply.
“Mother?”
Jae-hyuk’s expression changed as he realized his mistake.
“Mother is just…”
“Enough.”
The fact that Jae-hyuk was still calling her ‘mother’ after all this time infuriated Arin.
Her lower lip quivered as she faced him.
‘Did they continue like this even in my absence? Was it always like this?’
The more she contemplated, the more anger and betrayal surged within Arin.
“Why did you meet?”
At Arin’s question, Jae-hyuk glanced at Kyung-sook and then fixed his gaze back on her.
“Let’s talk about it outside.”
Approaching Arin, Jae-hyuk reached for her hand.
His actions only fueled the fire inside Arin.
‘Afraid to be straightforward, so you want to talk behind the scenes. Planning to deceive me with lies!’
Arin felt resentment towards Jae-hyuk, who was still trying to woo her with falsehoods even after being exposed.
“Why can’t you talk here? What did you two do behind my back that needs to be hidden from me?”
Arin’s eyes reddened, and her lips trembled.
“I won’t be fooled anymore.”
She harshly shook off Jae-hyuk’s hold on her arm.
In the worst-case scenario she had anticipated, Arin had hoped that reality would prove otherwise. She didn’t want to be hurt anymore.
Jae-hyuk, facing Arin’s reaction, eventually couldn’t say anything and just looked down. Arin felt even angrier, perceiving his silence as an affirmation of her suspicions.
‘This can’t be. He asked me to come back. Were they doing this behind my back all this time? Was no one thinking of me at all? Only me!’
She couldn’t shake off the feeling of being the only fool.
“Ban Jae-hyuk, you should leave now.”
“…Arin.”
Jae-hyuk reached for Arin again, but she shook him off with even more force than before.
‘I hate you! You and mother, both of you!’
Arin was torn between the trembling voice and gaze of Jae-hyuk and the fear of being deceived again by his petty excuses.
‘What more clear explanation could there be?’
‘I won’t cling like a fool anymore.’
It was the moment when she let go of the attachment she had held onto out of selfishness, even though it wasn’t hers.
Her gaze at Jae-hyuk became even more fierce.
“If you don’t sign the divorce papers, I’ll sue you.”
“Arin, that’s…”
“I don’t want to hear it, just leave. You said it’s all over, didn’t you?”
The whole situation was repulsive.
“…Arin.”
Arin turned her head away from Jae-hyuk sharply.
Jae-hyuk’s gaze lingered on Arin for a long time.
Arin, ignoring his gaze, turned to Kyung-sook, who she had thought of as her mother until just half an hour ago. She couldn’t believe Kyung-sook’s utterly calm demeanor.
‘How could you do this to me, mother?’
Arin glared at Kyung-sook with clenched fists.
‘Just go, Choi Arin. Even if you ask, you won’t get the answer you want.’
She knew without asking.
She felt she knew too well what the person she once believed was her mother would say.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

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.]
