Weekly Chapter 2/3

Tears slid down her cheeks. Yumi had never seen Jo Yami cry before.

“Are you trying to torment me by making me feel guilty?”

She showed weakness for the first time. Yami, capable of doing anything to achieve her desires, feared losing the person she loved. After all, she was human, too. Jumi felt sympathy. But that was all.

Yoongyo’s face showed clear disapproval. He looked like he could kill Yami. She asked him not to intervene. When she grabbed his hand, the fire in his eyes went out.

“You want me to take responsibility for something I didn’t do?”

“This is your fault. Now he refuses to speak to me.”

“I didn’t realize that fact would be such a big deal.”

“Huh?”

“It seems that you two can’t get over this. I thought their confidence would still be strong even though I revealed the truth.”

Her lie had tormented her for a long time, but Yami was now heartbroken. She was an idiot who could not understand other people’s pain. Choi Jumi had lived with guilt all this time. But Yoongyo had taught her that if someone slapped her, she had to kick her crotch.

“You’re bad!”

Yoongyo caught her hand in the air.

“My baby is scared.”

Jumi grabbed his wrist to make him release Yami’s trembling hand. She knew why Jo Yami felt inferior. They had been friends for a long time, so they knew how to hurt each other. Even though Yami had hurt her, she had never done anything.

“If anything happens to my baby, I won’t remain passive. My baby’s dad is a gangster. I resolved to be braver as well.”

She rested her head on Yoongyo’s arm. She ran her hand across her abdomen.

“I’m sorry, but I have a hospital appointment today, so I can’t continue our conversation. Are you here for coffee? Feel free to help yourself.”

Jumi grabbed Yoongyo’s arm.

“What are you doing?”

She whispered in his ear,

“Pretend you’re affectionate.”

“Why?”

“You may not understand, but my happiness is payback for others.”

This man had changed her. She needed to look after herself to ensure her baby grew strong. Otherwise, her child might experience the same pain she experienced. She had to show herself strong to anyone.

Suddenly, Yoongyo grabbed her waist. He lowered his head so that she didn’t have to stand on tiptoe to talk to him. This man had never shown such considerations before.

“Be passionate.”

“Huh?”

“Just do it.”
