The Engagement Was Broken Off at the Wedding Hall

16 – 2-1. S Company’s rivals begin to move.

“Do you like hanging out with a b*tch who sells her body? Do you like it?”

“……………………….”

No words came out.

Say something. Answer.

I couldn’t understand the words that came to my ears before that.

“I cry in my room every day because of you.”

“Every day, I wait for you to come.”

“I couldn’t even eat a proper meal and just looked at my phone every day.”

It’s definitely Korean. It’s Korean.

Even so, I couldn’t understand what they were saying.

“Are you going to go to Hawaii alone and flirt with some random woman?”

“Shouldn’t you rather use that money to comfort me instead of going on a trip?”

“How on earth do you disappoint me?”

There is only one thing that is clear.

Attitude toward me. Things you do to me.

I slowly looked around.

“Huh…”

A grumpy father.

“…Hyunseong.”

My mother carefully holds my hand.

“I keep seeing you, but you went a little too far, son-in-law.”

Meanwhile, my father-in-law continues to protect that b*tch.

Is it because I really don’t know? Do I do this even though I know it?

“….Please stop now, everyone.”

Only the mother-in-law knows the seriousness of the situation and keeps her head down.

Stuck status. Everyone is waiting for my answer.

The sound of people rolling their eyes as they looked at me, wondering what kind of words I was going to say, scratched my ears noisily.

‘This….’

What should I answer?

I was speechless.

It’s not that I have nothing to say, it’s that I have too much to say.

I couldn’t figure out where to start and where to end.

I feel dizzy from all the emotions rising from within my heart.

“───Huh…!”

I can’t breathe.

It’s stuffy. My vision becomes blurry.

‘…………’

Shoulders are hunched over.

The back is bent.

Something inside me is gradually going out.

I am dying. The human being ‘me’ is dying.

It’s disgusting.

The toe is tilted.

My vision is dizzy and I have goosebumps.

“Whoa….Whoa…!”

My breathing gradually becomes more difficult.

I feel dizzy. I want to stretch it out as is.

My heart continues to weaken.

The shackles of the past

The bad habits of the previous day are tying me down.

Say it.

Scream.

I try to say that there is so much I want to say.

I endured it and lived.

I have endured my whole life.

For me like that, there is no way it would be possible to say something──

[You can make sounds, right?]

“────Ah.”

One word that came out of my mouth.

A short, groan-like word.

But I know.

“Ah….Ah….!”

“…Oppa?”

How to raise your voice.

How to wake me up.

Ignore the things you thought were shackles.

With all my might, I raise my will.

“───aaah!!!!”

“!!!”

Spit it out.

Increase your will.

I straighten my hunched shoulders again.

Straightens the bent back.

Do not bend. Don’t be servile.

You can be considerate to someone, but you should not be servile in front of someone.

‘Hawaii.’

We must not forget the ‘light’ that the rabbit taught us.

“Suuu───Haaa.”

I take a deep breath.

A little bit, I come back to my senses.

My vision, which had turned black and blurry, opened wide again.

Voices of people drinking makgeori.

A bustling sound coming from the kitchen.

The sound of putting down chopsticks.

The sound of clock hands moving.

Expands your field of vision. Eyes widen.

Your ears become more sensitive and your surroundings become clearer.

“….It’s okay, Mom.”

“Hyeonseong…?”

I put down my mother’s hand that was holding my hand tightly.

My mother’s desire to support me when I falter.

Because she has already received enough information through these hands.

****************************

“Jiyeon Kim.”

The first word is yes.

Isn’t this saying appropriate?

“You…Don’t know how things are going right now, do you?”

“………….”

“Have you ever left your parents’ arms?”

“…Is now the time to say that?”

It just seems unpleasant.

“Suddenly they barge in front of the company and take them away as if kidnapping.”

“Bring your father and hide behind his back alone. The whole time, you only showed that you didn’t like him.”

“You look at what happened because of your b*tch and ignore it as if it wasn’t your problem.”

“And now you don’t even think about what you did and are a prostitute? A prostitute is better than you…”

“Are you done talking now?!”

No.

This is the beginning.

“A b*tch like you always only thinks about yourself and no one else.”

“Do you think your parents, my parents, and I will just tolerate and accept us forever? Do we look that easy?”

A sincere question.

Jiyeon speaks to me with her somber eyes.

“So, are you done with what you had to say?”

“What…?”

What is that now…

“Right now, my brother is acting like he’s a victim, but he’s actually looking at me and my parents like water.”

“…………”

Jiyeon speaks.

“Ruining the once-in-a-lifetime wedding of a woman”

“I made all my relatives blush.”

“On that topic, Ji goes all the way to Hawaii alone and hangs out with a prostitute. He likes to say that he f*cked a prostitute on social media.”

“Is the situation getting more serious? No. It’s like this now because my brother is behaving like a man and yelling without any mercy as a husband.”

If he is truly a man, if he is a husband who knows how to embrace one woman.

No matter what that woman’s past is, she should know how to cover and hug with ‘love’.

“….You.”

You are a real b*tch.

“Me? I’m a b*tch? Why? Why am I a b*tch?”

“You brought all your parents, and even my parents, and made me sit here.”

You just want me to bow again.

Because your father came out forcefully and shook my mentality, and he knows how I feel about having to answer to my parents’ expectations.

Knowing that I no longer want to be a bad son in front of my parents, knowing of my ‘past’ of wanting to somehow get through it smoothly because of the people around me, knowing of the past that you ‘learned’ that always being patient is the way to win. There is.

“You…Want me to act like a dog at your feet again like before.”

Look at behavior and attitude.

Then the purpose can be inferred.

“Oppa doesn’t know me.”

“What happened because my brother insisted on it like that? What happened?”

“My parents are completely at odds, and I’m crying at home without being able to eat.”

“They’re talking behind my back to the point where I feel embarrassed about going back to work.”

“I’m gone now and can’t even raise my face, but how has my brother gotten better?”

“I’m living a miserable life where all I do is hang out with cheap prostitutes and drink alcohol, but I think I can leave my brother alone——Are you laughing? Are you laughing now?”

Behavior and attitude.

Look at Jiyeon Kim’s actions and attitude.

‘Ah….’

Why didn’t I know?

Why didn’t I try to find out?

No.

No.

In fact, I could have known if I had just tried.

I noticed his true nature long ago, and I could see his true feelings at any time.

But…

“My life was ruined because of my brother… The woman who loved my brother, the woman my brother ‘loved’, ended up like this!”

“Pha…..!”

I burst out laughing.

Laughter continues to erupt.

Yes.

That is the nature of that b*tch.

An egoist that you don’t even want to see and can’t even imagine exists in humans.

“Shall I say one more word?”

“No, don’t do it. My brother still has more regrets—”

“—You don’t know it’s my birthday?”

“…………”

I don’t know.

You probably don’t know.

“What are your parents’ birthdays? Mother-in-law, do you know your birthdays?”

“That’s right…You can always find out if you want to know, right? And is that a problem now?”

“Well then. That’s not the problem.”

This can’t be a problem, right?

“I endured it because I loved it.”

“I endured it because I loved you.”

“Your parents and I love you, so we’ve endured this until now.”

Because I love you.

Because you were more precious than anyone else.

So, I endured, endured, bowed my head, and was considerate.

“But do you know what happens if you treat someone who has endured that much like trash, a servant, a dog, and then tell them to crawl on the floor?”

“I don’t know. I don’t want to hear it.”

“Yes.”

If you don’t want to hear it.

I’ll show you how it’s done.

“……Huh…?”

I didn’t even have to stand up.

It was enough to just slightly raise my body and move forward.

He raised his hands up.

I slammed my hand down with all my might.

The time it took to get here was about 3 seconds at most.

My father-in-law. No, Jiyeon, your father can’t even react and just looks at you blankly.

The b*tch stares at me with wide eyes, as if she had never imagined that I would be like this.

A very shameless face.

I soon reached out to Jiyeon’s cheek with a slap filled with my sincerity──

─Zaaa!!!

“……………………….”

“…Hah?”

My mother-in-law held that b*tch in her arms and slapped her instead.

“No….”

Why?

Why on earth?

“I’m sorry.”

No.

Don’t apologize.

At least you can’t apologize to your mother-in-law.

‘That b*tch is a f*cking b*tch.’

My mother-in-law did nothing wrong.

Rather, I wanted to repay my mother-in-law at least.

But why? Why. Both my mother-in-law and my mother know the true intentions of that b*tch…!

“I’m sorry about my child.”

“…………”

My child.

Mother.

Parents’ hearts.

I felt like something had been dropped.

It’s not that my anger has eased or my heart has eased.

Something, it felt like the steam that had built up was picking and counting.

“Mom! Your cheeks are like this…You…You bastard! How could you do that to me!”

“……………………….”

What a f*cking trembling b*tch.

Is this because I’m really worried about my mom, or is she doing this because she wants to get angry?

My father who was next to me also stood up with both hands and tried to catch me, but my mother-in-law held their hands and stopped them.

“I treated him favorably because he was my son-in-law…!”

“……Huh.”

I don’t know about that b*tch, but if it were my father, I would have been able to shake him off and attack her.

He was held by his mother-in-law and just trembled.

He probably knew it himself.

The nature of that b*tch. That b*tch’s sincerity.

So, unlike when he only acted for his daughter, he will inevitably have conflicts.

The outward emotion was that he was going to catch me and kill me right away, but his actions and attitude were completely different.

Conflict movements.

Ambiguous attitude.

There was no reason to remain here any longer.

“I’m sorry, mother-in-law.”

“!,……Thank you, Hyunseong.”

I no longer call him my son-in-law.

I was sad but thankful for that.

I got up from my seat and took my parents with me.

“…Good job.”

“No, I’m more thankful.”

“What?”

My father comforts me.

I just smiled at my father and answered.

“You believed me, right?”

“…I thought that if I became a man, I would take care of my own affairs.”

Originally, my father would have stepped in to stop it.

Dad watched without stopping me from leaving.

He knew that I was having a hard time and suffering, but he did not stop me.

Knowing that I have changed.

Knowing that I am trying to change.

In the past, he was just a frustrating and resentful father, but now that he has become a father, he can sense that.

“Is it really hard to be a dad? I always take on ‘this role’.”

“…Did you eat something wrong?”

“You must be embarrassed.”

My dad.

You’re a surprisingly cute person, aren’t you?

I never knew there was such a thing.

“Oh, thank you, Mom, for holding my hand too. It gave me courage.”

“What are you saying? It’s all thanks to the girl over there over the sea, right?”

“….Have you noticed it?”

“If the child felt strong after seeing her mother, she would have done so a long time ago. Her mother knows everything!”

“Queunnng….”

My mom.

After returning, I saw that he was even scarier.

I didn’t even know there was something like this──Phew, hehehe!

“Haaa…..”

I see.

I was loved.

It’s just that I didn’t notice it.

“I love you, Mom. Dad.”

“”!,……Uhm….””

I hugged both of them in my arms.

I love you.

I will definitely be filial.

And

‘Kyungsoo…..’

I have already contacted you.

The bait has been thrown, now all we have to do is wait.
