Chapter 36

 

Was it really just because she didn’t want to see her doing well with a guy from a wealthy family?

 

Or did she have other feelings for Jaejun?

 

Yoomin asked with curiosity.

 

“Do you like Jaejun?”

 

“Were there any girls who didn’t like Jaejun?”

 

“…What?”

 

Yoomin was shocked once again.

 

Since she had lived like a loner at school, she had no idea that her peers or other upperclassmen and underclassmen liked Jaejun.

 

Moreover, Jaejun was in a completely different department.

 

That meant the buildings themselves were different.

 

Unless they overlapped in general education classes, there would be no chance to run into him…

 

Wasn’t it strange to say that there was no one who didn’t like Jaejun?

 

Yoomin continued with an unpleasant expression.

 

“Well… it’s regrettable that even you liked Jaejun.”

 

“What’s regrettable about it?”

 

“Just. I think Jaejun would be tired too. How much must girls like you who don’t even know anything about him have bothered him by saying you like him.”

 

“Do you think this makes any sense?”

 

Suji, seemingly irritated, took another step forward and grabbed Yoomin’s collar.

 

Since this wasn’t the first or second time, Yoomin put more strength in her legs and stood on her tiptoes.

 

That way, her neck was less choked.

 

“Anyway, whether you like it or not, I don’t care. I have nothing to do with Jaejun. So don’t bother me and get out. I’m tired.”

 

“You say you have nothing to do with him, but you called him to the bar earlier?”

 

Seeing Suji sneer while twisting her upper lip made her even less inclined to answer.

 

“Suji. What’s more important – the fact that I called Jaejun there, or that you called Kim Byeongtae there to mess with me?”

 

“Obviously the former. You’re going to marry Kim Byeongtae anyway. I was helping your wish come true faster, so what’s the problem?”

 

With Suji’s shameless way of speaking, Yoomin thought that continuing the conversation would only drain her energy.

 

So she made shooing gestures with her hands and told her what she wanted to hear.

 

Of course, it was a complete lie.

 

“That guy has a fiancée.”

 

Suddenly, Suji’s face brightened.

 

“It means no matter how much I wag my tail, there’s no way I’ll end up with Jaejun. So stop being jealous.”

 

“Look at you. Then why are you looking at a tree you can’t climb? You give your whole heart and only get treated like an idiot, tsk.”

 

“…”

 

“And get your head straight. You know that a man with a fiancée meeting you is really just playing around with you, right? Don’t become a rag and marry Kim Byeongtae while you’re still at least a dishcloth and live happily.”

 

“According to what you’re saying, wouldn’t I die too? Will you at least contribute money to my funeral?”

 

When Yoomin asked nonchalantly, Suji’s face hardened completely.

 

Soon Suji cursed that it was unlucky and left the room.

 

Left alone, Yoomin collapsed onto the bed.

 

It had really been an exhausting day.

 

Anyway, what she found out from Hong Suji today.

 

The family members blindly believed that if she married Kim Byeongtae, she would die instead of Hong Suji.

 

Thinking that they really believed that made her feel a bit creepy.

 

She didn’t believe in superstitions, but they said wishes were powerful.

 

If they kept performing rituals for her to go die, how could she stay fine?

 

No matter how she thought about it, it was unlucky, so she thought she should leave this house as soon as possible.

 

Tomorrow I should check out all the third-tier financial institutions.

The next day.

 

After finishing her academy classes and returning home, Yoomin heard terrible news.

 

“Huuuuk! Honey, hurry!”

 

“Car keys! Where are the car keys! Aaaah!”

 

Grandmother was wailing and pressuring Grandfather, and Grandfather was in a panic.

 

Soon, having apparently found the car keys, they rushed out to the entrance and discovered Yoomin.

 

They were sobbing as if their daughter had been hurt.

 

“…Grandfather, Grandmother…”

 

Grandfather silently grabbed Yoomin’s wrist.

 

“Ah!”

 

And forcibly dragged her outside.

 

“What are you doing!”

 

“Stop talking and follow me!”

 

Yoomin was suddenly put in Grandfather’s car and ended up going somewhere with them.

 

And 20 minutes later.

 

The place they arrived at was Korea University Hospital.

 

Since Grandmother and Grandfather didn’t say anything during the entire car ride and just kept sobbing, she didn’t even ask for the reason.

 

She just guessed that maybe something had happened to their only daughter, Suji.

 

And that prediction was completely correct.

 

Grandfather was in such a hurry that he didn’t even go to the hospital parking lot and parked the car on one side of the path to the emergency room.

 

She could see a parking attendant running over from far away, but Grandfather didn’t care and rushed to the emergency room.

 

He stopped midway and ran back to support Grandmother, who couldn’t walk properly.

 

And seeing Yoomin standing there awkwardly in shock, he shouted at her.

 

“What are you doing! Why aren’t you supporting Grandmother!”

 

Yoomin hurriedly went to the other side and grabbed Grandmother’s arm to support her.

 

The three people’s steps didn’t match, so their feet bumped into each other several times and their steps got tangled, almost making them fall.

 

Even so, like tumbler dolls, they got back up and ran toward the emergency room.

 

Anyone watching would think they were soldiers supporting an injured comrade while running at full speed to escape from bombing.

 

However, the three people themselves didn’t realize how ridiculous they looked running.

 

Grandmother and Grandfather were panicking because it was their daughter’s situation, and Yoomin became serious by being influenced by them.

 

And no matter how much she disliked her, she was still a cousin who had slept in the same hallway for 18 years.

 

She couldn’t understand what and how badly she had been hurt for Grandmother and Grandfather to be this out of their minds.

 

Yoomin, who was the most mentally intact, went to the emergency room reception and said they had received a call that a family member was hurt, asking how they should go in to see her.

 

However, only two guardians could enter.

 

Left alone, Yoomin sat in the waiting room and stood up every time the emergency room door opened.

 

Normally she wouldn’t be this concerned, but hearing about short lives made her feel more uneasy.

 

Gaslighting was really scary. Because she had been hearing the story that Suji would live if she married President Kim Byeongtae instead of Suji so much lately, she even felt like it was somehow her fault.

 

However, she soon shook her head and corrected her thoughts.

 

“No, Hong Yoomin. Don’t think strange thoughts. This isn’t your fault. Rather…”

 

This might be an opportunity. An opportunity to escape.

 

She didn’t know what the situation inside the emergency room was like right now, but what if Suji’s condition was serious?

 

Wouldn’t all that anger come to her?

 

Grandmother and Grandfather would blame it all on her.

 

It’s because of you.

 

It’s because you’re holding out saying you won’t get married.

 

It was an obvious result without even looking.

 

And if it came to that point, who knows what unreasonable tyranny she might face beyond common sense.

 

Yoomin racked her brain.

 

She closed her eyes and considered each method of escape one by one.

 

Finally, she realized.

 

The only way she could escape most safely was to involve Seol Jaejun.

 

Yoomin closed her eyes once more and thought.

 

Would it be harder to feel hurt pride and sorry toward Jaejun?

 

Or would it be harder to endure the mental anguish from Grandmother and Grandfather, who blindly trust Yun Bosal, doing strange things to me?

 

To put it bluntly, if something happened to Suji, they might confine me 365 days a year and hold ritual ceremonies, claiming they’d extract the soul from my body and summon Suji’s soul.

 

Those bastards are more than capable of that.

 

Finally, she came to a decision.

 

She would handle escaping on her own, but ask Jaejun to help only with Father.

 

With Jaejun’s wealth, he could probably hide Father well in a place beyond Grandmother and Grandfather’s reach.

 

Or perhaps he could station several bodyguards at the hospital right now to prevent the aunt and uncle from approaching Father.

 

It’s a huge amount of money for me, but for Jaejun, the only son of Taehyun Group, it would practically be an amount that could disappear from his account without him noticing.

 

So even though it’s shameless, I’ll sincerely ask him for help and promise to repay the money somehow until the day I die, no matter what.

 

Having decided in her mind how she should act going forward, Yoomin stood up.

 

She quickly searched for Jaejun’s number as she headed out of the emergency room.

 

Thud-!

 

However, before she could even exit the emergency room door, she bumped into someone.

 

She covered her nose and looked up.
