Choi's Mansion
Angry shrieks emanated from Mi-Ok's room upstairs, as well as shattering noises. Broken pieces of picture fras and perfu bottles were all over the floor, and she was standing over it with her hand clenched tightly together.
Dan-Han had humiliated her because of that bitch! That trash.
Her nails dug into her palm till they drew blood. She ground her teeth as she thought about how rudely Eun-sun had spoken to her and her family. Dan-Han had even gone as far as threatening her because of a non-entity? He had threatened to cut off their tongues, because of a nobody?
"Ahhh!" She shrieked lividly before picking up her phone. What was taking them too long? Why haven't they reported to her back?
She ferociously dialled in the last number on her call history, after a few rings the person answered.
"What's taking so long? Can't you do a damn job?!" Mi-Ok yelled into the phone, making the person at the other end of the phone frown.
"You'll get confirmation soon. I'll hang up now." The man said before disconnecting the call. Mi-Ok looked at the phone with incredulity. Did he just cut the call on her? Did that thug just hang up on her??!
"Fool!" She cussed. She bit her lips hard to help hold in her anger. That thug wasn't of utmost concern to her, but that bitch was. But she should hold on. She was going to get what she deserves soon.
Dan-Han was hers, and hers only. She was going to remove that bitch from his life and make him hers, she assured herself.
While Mi-Ok was fuming and scheming in her room, her parents were also throwing an angry fit downstairs.
"Those Lees, who do they think they're?! How dare they?! How dare Lee Dan-Han?!" Father Choi slamd his hand on the table ferociously making his wife jerk out of fright.
"Honey, what do we do? We can't miss having a marriage alliance with the Lee." No way would happen. The Lee's were at the top of the food chain, and being associated with them ant a lot for them and there was no way they would miss it. She didn't want to miss out on the opportunity of climbing up the social ladder, so there was no she'd let that opportunity slip.
Father Choi remained silent for a while as he pondered on her question. What was he going to do? Lee Dan-Han wasn't soone he could trifle with. Though he was young, he was cruel. He was far more dangerous than his father in his younger days.
His eyes lit up when he rembered the file Jin-Ho had given him earlier today. It was still lying in his office. He looked at his wife with serious eyes, "I think I know how to fix this. But first you should go talk to Mi-Ok not to spoil things up. Your daughter can be very unreasonable when she wants to," he said before hurrying up to his office while his wife glared at him.
When the children are good, they beco the father's children. But when they are bad, it becos the mothers. Mrs Choi clucked her tongue before hurrying over to Mi-Ok's room. That girl could be a headache sotis, she sighed. Hopefully, that bratty child of hers hasn't done anything yet.
.....
"Who are my parents?" She asked, her question making Song-Hee quite startled. She was slightly surprised to hear Eun-sun ask her directly. She had been telling her she wasn't her mother for years but the girl had been too dumb to understand she was saying the truth. So what happened? Who did she talk to?
"Who told you?" Song-Hee asked.
"Answer the damn question!" For the first ti in her life she snapped at the woman she had called mother, she was staring at her with so much animosity but she couldn't help it. Her emotions were beyond her at the mont.
Seeing how scary Eun-sun was right now, Song-Hee panicked, "I-I don't know. A man had given you to ." She replied.
"Who was he?" Eun-sun asked back.
Shaking her head, Song-Hee replied, "I don't know. He...he seed like your father. He had willingly given you to at the ti and I took you, no questions asked. Seems they didn't want you either."
Her last word sliced through Eun-sun's heart like a blade, her hands clenched tightly as she stared at Song-Hee.
"Why did you take ?" She didn't understand how she had brought a baby ho and had fooled her husband for years and now she was being blad for it. Blad for sothing she had no control over!
"I-I" She stuttered.
"You better start talking!" Eun-sun snapped at her again.
"I lost my child, okay! My baby died and I didn't want to disappoint my husband again or have my mother-in-law talk down. I was desperate so I took you. That's it! That's how I brought you ho and you ruined my life. I should never have done that. I should have left you and faced my family, but I brought you and you cursed , cursed my ho and broke my marriage!!" Song-Hee ranted.
Eun-sun let out a cold and mirthless cynical-laugh, making Song-Hee look at her strangely. Eun-sun's smile swiftly disappeared from her face and she stared at her, "You really shouldn't have brought ho." She told her in a cold tone.
"Did I ask you to bring ho? No, I didn't ask you for it. Do you say I'm cursed? When I made you smile and laugh, was I cursed? When father and grandmother treated you like a queen, was I cursed?! You broke your ho by lying to your family and you made the scapegoat. You bruised , hurt , humiliated , treated worse than an animal but I loved you, catered for you, tried my best to make you smile as a daughter should! You said the most hurtful words any mother would say to her child, you missed my birthdays, never ca for my graduations, never paid my tuition, you stopped being a mum but I didn't mind. I missed having my childhood because of you. Who looked after you when father left? , the cursed child!. I gave my all to you because you were my mother, but you only took from and hurt in return. Even if I wasn't your child, did I deserve all that?!! You knew the truth but you made pay for sothing I didn't do, how is that fair?! Was that fair to ?!!" Eun-sun paused when a tear fell from her eyes. She didn't want to cry in front of her, she didn't deserve it. Song-Hee was startled to hear Eun-sun raise her voice at her. She was speechless. She was seeing a different side of her.
"You know it's funny how I can't hate you right now despite all you've done to , rather I feel grateful. Thank you for the years you raised , for taking in w-when my biological parents gave away. Had you not taken in, maybe I wouldn't have known what it ant to have a family even if it was just for a short ti. I'm eternally grateful and I promise never to forget. But this is the end of the road for us. You want gone because you think I'm cursed, I'll leave. I hope you get all you deserve from life. Thank you for being my mother when no one wanted . Thank you for raising , mother." Eun-sun deeply bowed to her, tears rolled down her cheek. She gave Song-Hee one last look before turning around to leave.
She had gotten to the door when Song-Hee called her, "Eun-sun."
She stopped but didn't turn around to look at her. "Don't ever co back." She said, Eun-sun's lips curved up, revealing a self-mocking smile. For a mont she had hoped she'd say.....never mind.
"You don't have to worry, I'll never co back." 'After all, I was never welcod here.' She added to herself before walking out of the apartnt.
