Arin steeled her heart.

‘Let’s be realistic. I don’t know when my brother will come up.’

Yoo-hyun didn’t want him to see this situation. He sat across from Mrs. Jung as she wished.

When Arin did as she said, Mrs. Jung’s mouth curled up satisfactorily.

“You’re not completely foolish.”

“If you want to say that, get up right away.”

Arin wanted to show Mrs. Jung that she was different from before.

Choi Arin, who used to obey you, is no longer……

“Hurry up and speak.”

“Yeah. I also wanted to do that. You.”

Mrs. Jung pulled out a thick envelope of cash from her bag.

“What’s this?”

“It’s what you want.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. You like money, don’t you?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Pretend you don’t know.”

Mrs. Jung looked at Arin as if she were talking about an outrageous story. Her gaze was filled with disdain and contempt for Arin.

“I heard it.”

The subject and object were missing in the sentence.

Nevertheless, Arin could understand why Mrs. Jung had come to see her today.

“I’ll give you as much as you want. So take this money.”

“I don’t need it.”

“Ha. Your greed is excessive, huh? Why did you dare to come and stand next to our Jaehyuk for more money?”

“Ma’am, please speak properly.”

“Straight? Ignorant, I told you not to come out and be quiet, didn’t I? Did I tell you to live like you’re dead or not?”

Aren’t you trying to come out?

Did I tell you to live like you’re dead or not?

How can a human say such a thing?

How dare you say such things to me?

Anger that had been suppressed deep in her heart burst out.

“Ma’am, what are you so afraid of?”

“What? Why would I be afraid of you?”

Arin saw the trembling fist of Mrs. Jung in her eyes.

‘I couldn’t understand why. Why did Mrs. Jung hug my brother and watch his every move?’

In married life, Mrs. Jung could oppress her because there was Jaehyuk’s implicit approval.

‘Mrs. Jung disturbed the relationship between me and my brother. She said that what she wanted was also what my brother wanted.’

When Arin didn’t know anything, she thought that was Mrs. Jung’s will and Jaehyuk’s will.

Mrs. Jung was the object of fear. She had to feel the pain and agony as if she had fallen into hell with every word of Mrs. Jung.

But now, looking from a distance, Arin felt like she knew why Mrs. Jung did that.

‘What Mrs. Jung is afraid of is that I’m next to my brother. I don’t know why.’

In the past and now, Mrs. Jung coming to find her instead of her son and causing a scene was a sight that Jaehyuk didn’t want to see.

An absurd thought came to Arin’s mind.

You should experience the same thing as me.

Taste the pain, anxiety, and the abyss of life I felt.

From your son!
Arin had never dreamed of revenge, but she disliked Mrs. Jung, who came to shake her every time.

She was angry.

Now that she was trying to find a little stability and live, why shake her like this when she said she wouldn’t do anything!

Why keep shaking.

Human hearts were like that.

Even if you denied it and said you didn’t want to do it, when people around you kept saying, ‘Yeah, that’s how you are. It’s right. You’ll do it,’ you felt a rebellious spirit that wanted to really do what you wanted with an attitude of ‘Oh, I don’t know.’

Revenge?

Yeah. Maybe it was revenge.

You can call this feeling ‘a sense of revenge.’

Even though it wasn’t adolescence, it was okay to call it ‘rebellion.’

Whatever it was, she really didn’t want to be treated like this anymore.

Even if she was tormented by guilt for using Jaehyuk’s feelings, her hesitation had completely disappeared.

Maybe she would regret it tomorrow. But with her current mood, she felt no regret at all.

Arin’s eyes became cold, and a cold voice flowed through her lips.

“I guess I should do it your way, Mrs. Jung.”

“What?”

Mrs. Jung didn’t understand Arin’s words at once. When she asked again, Arin spoke with clenched fists.

“I’ll stay next to my brother.”

Arin deliberately used the term ‘brother,’ which Mrs. Jung hated so much.

The effect was immediate. Mrs. Jung’s expression became fierce.

“Are you crazy?”

Looking at Mrs. Jung shouting, a triumphant feeling grew more than a fearful one.

‘Now, regardless of what happens, I really don’t want to be treated like this!’

Mrs. Jung’s gaze became fierce. Approaching Arin with a killing force, she asked,

“Are you trying to join my son right now?”

“Yes.”

“Choi Arin, are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Are you going to do this now? Ha, do you think I’ll just watch while you’re with Jaehyuk?”

Mrs. Jung completely lost her sanity. But even when Mrs. Jung poured out abusive words, Arin’s expression was calm. She thought that since there were no colleagues or customers in the store after it closed, it was okay to be insulted.

Anyway, she was in a situation where she would be cursed no matter what. So even if she was cursed, she chose to turn the other person’s mind upside down.

“If that’s what you want.”

“What?”
