I felt extremely unjust.
“Yubin has never been bullied at school like you, right?”
I swear to the sky; I have never witnessed Seol Yubin being bullied at school.
As far as I know, Seol Yubin didn’t get along well with other kids, but that was mainly her own choice, not because she appeared hostile to anyone. According to the original story, Seol Yubin even deliberately chose to live as an outcast to attract Ji Seunghyun’s attention.
Of course, if you ask me what I would do if something happened that I didn’t know about, I have no answer. Anyway, regarding this issue, I am truly innocent.
“If the child really was bullied, do you think I would just stand by and watch?”
But judging by Seol Yubin’s expression, my words didn’t seem to be convincing. It seemed like she had already stamped a bad image on me.
“Still, I need to say something.”
I can’t afford to be misunderstood and be marked by the world’s top 0. I must stay strong. Taking a deep breath, I calmly spoke.
“Hey, it seems like there’s some misunderstanding here.”
“Misunderstanding?”
Seol Yubin snorted.
“Yeah, let’s find out what this misunderstanding is.”
With that expression, she’s doing a great job of pretending to listen.
I was slightly discouraged.
“…While Yubin was quiet at school, her relationship with other kids wasn’t really bad. So, I guess she didn’t fight like you…?”
As I spoke, I glanced at Seol Yubin’s reaction. Well, it seems like my intention didn’t get through at all.
“I really was Yubin’s friend. I can show you proof if you want.”
“Proof?”
“Yeah, Yubin sent me a letter.”
Upon hearing that, Seol Yubin frowned.
“Even if there is proof, how can I believe it? I can’t believe it. Yubin having such a splendid friend like you.”
Seol Yubin glared at me.
“Isn’t that right, the socialite, Lee Jooneun?”
I’d appreciate it if she acknowledged calling me a socialite as bullying.
It’s painful every time I hear the term socialite.
I internally shed tears and said firmly.
“I can prove that I was Yubin’s friend by reading the contents of the letter.”
In fact, the letter contains a heartfelt thank you message from her, so it should be good evidence.
“And in that letter, it’s also written why Yubin left.”
At that, Seol Yubin’s gaze changed.
“…What?”
Okay, I have to say it well from here. I clenched my fists.
“In fact, I knew that Yubin left and why she left.”
The atmosphere became tense in an instant.
“Can you take responsibility for what you just said?”
Seol Yubin said, growling. She seems ready to cut my throat if I don’t take responsibility.
‘…Will this be okay?’
It feels like I stepped on a mine… I took a step back.
“Well, you can find out by reading the letter.”
Seol Yubin approached me as if she were about to grab my collar.
“Then show it to me.”
“I don’t have it right now!”
Who would carry it around?
“Y-yes, since we’re near my house, please come in now. I’ll bring it out for you.”
Where did I put Seol Yubin’s letter?… I racked my brain hard. Darn it, I can’t remember.
Seol Yuhwa glared at me for a moment and then sighed.
“…Fine. Let’s just assume you’re telling the truth for now.”
Thank goodness. I sincerely felt relieved.
“I’ll read the letter later, so bring it to school.”
I need to hurry and find it. While thinking about where the letter might be in my mind, Seol Yuhwa spoke.
“Instead, can you tell me the contents? What was written in there?”
I hesitated for a moment at Seol Yuhwa’s words.
‘Can I really tell the truth?’
It’s a very personal story… Even if she’s my sister, revealing everything is another matter.
I should talk vaguely for now.
“Well… Before Yubin left, we went to an amusement park with Samdaeboi and Yuhui. But I don’t know much about it, something seemed to have happened there. So, she said she’s leaving to sort out her feelings.”
“W-h-a-t happened?”
Oops. I should have been more ambiguous.
“Uh… The details are something you should ask Yubin directly…? Oh, okay! I’ll tell you!”
I gathered my courage and spoke.
“Jiseunghyun! It’s because of Jiseunghyun!”
Finally, Seol Yuhwa reacted.
“Jiseunghyun?”
Sorry, Seunghyun. Sacrifice yourself. I let out a sigh.
“In reality, Yubin liked Jiseunghyun… Did you know that?”
Seol Yuhwa shook her head.
“That’s news to me.”
What?
Can I really say this? It feels uncomfortable to talk about someone else’s story so openly.
But in the face of a threat to my life, I had no choice. I opened my mouth without hesitation.
“I can’t help not knowing, but anyway, Yubin liked Jiseunghyun. So, she confessed at the amusement park, but it seems things didn’t go well between them. So, Yubin left after leaving a letter.”
Seol Yuhwa expressed disbelief.
“She ran away just because of something like that?”
Yeah. Why did she do that?
‘Come back, Seol Yubin…’
Once again, today, I called out to Seol Yubin with yearning.
Seol Yuhwa pondered for a moment and then spoke.
“Alright. I can’t believe it, but you don’t seem to be lying.”
My earnestness seemed to have gotten through. Seol Yuhwa reached out her hand to me.
“Phone.”
Huh?
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
