37.

Eunseo felt her face turn hot.

It appeared that Kwon Jihwan really did know how she really felt. Of course, he got one thing wrong.

Instead of Seo Hyunwoo, it was actually Kwon Jihwan she was in love with. She was dreaming about doing thinks with him, not Seo Hyunwoo.

Kwon Jihwan, still holding Eunseo’s arm, lowered his voice and continued,

“Having an illness like that isn’t your fault, yet you’re just going to live like this? Suffer a one-sided crush for the rest of your life because you don’t have the courage to be honest? Is that really who you are, Miss Kang?”

Eunseo couldn’t understand why Kwon Jihwan was tormenting her like this. Why did he care if she died all alone without never being with someone she loved? She wasn’t hurting anyone by doing this, so why was Jihwan acting this way?

“You don’t know anything, Mr. Kwon!”

Eunseo exploded and pulled her arm out of his grasp. She hasn’t been able to look him in the eyes, but now… She glared at him and argued,

“Do you think you know everything just because you’re the president of our company? Or do you think everyone has a happy ending just like you? I’m sure you’ve never been rejected in your entire life, but things are different for normal people. Just because you’re confident about yourself… That’s not how everyone lives!”

Eunseo was angry and jealous of this man’s confidence. If his arrogance was unfounded, she would have laughed at him. But unfortunately, Kwon Jihwan had all the right to be confident about himself.

And the fact that she was in love with him… It made her so furious.

“You are very much mistaken, Mr. Kwon. The world isn’t easy for everyone else. Not everyone is like you.”

“…”

Jihwan, who had been pushing her hard, suddenly became quiet. He listened while Eunseo continued,

“To you, some people might look like cowards, but everyone has a reason for things they do. They are all doing their best to survive in this world.”

Realizing she might start crying at any time, she mumbled quickly,

“…Please, just leave me alone. I’m begging you.”

Hugging her broken purse tightly, Eunseo turned around and walked away. Her face was still bright red from anger and sadness. The wind was still deadly cold, but she couldn’t even feel it.

The first and the last time Eunseo dated someone was when she was 20 years old. It was a someone who went to the same middle school and high school as her. His name was Kim Dongjun.

Kim Dongjun was Eunseo’s first love. They even lived in the same neighborhood, so they were good friends. When they both went to college, that was when Kim Dongjun confessed his love for her.

They began dating.

They were friends for a long time, but they never got to date for long. About three months after they became a couple, Dongjun’s mother stormed into Eunseo’s home.

She screamed,

“How dare you date my son?! You bitch! Are you trying to ruin his life?!”

Dongjun’s mother grabbed Eunseo’s hair. It all happened so fast that Eunseo didn’t even get the chance to fight back. She cried out,

“W…why are you doing this to me?!”

Eunseo had met Dongjun’s mother before a few times, so she couldn’t understand what was happening. Dongjun’s mother was a big woman, so there was no way Eunseo could escape her grasp.

Dongjun’s mother yelled,

“I heard you don’t even get periods, right? So that means you can’t have children either, doesn’t it? Then how could you be so shameless? How could you seduce my son? If you two got married, my son won’t even get to have any children! Our family line will end!”

Dongjun’s mother still held Eunseo’s hair with one hand while using the other to pinch her. Afterward, she still seemed to be furious. She ran to Eunseo’s room and threw everything on the floor. Still panting, she screamed,

“I can’t believe this is happening to me! My son! My stupid son! How could he like a girl whose breasts are leaking? You didn’t even tell Dongjun the truth, didn’t you?”

Eunseo’s stepmother, who was also home at the time, apologized to Dongjun’s mom,

“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Kim! It’s all my fault for not teaching her proper manners. I really tried my best, but I had to do it all alone because her father is gone…”

Dongjun’s mother replied,

“No, it’s not your fault. Kang Eunseo isn’t even your real daughter! You’re a saint for raising her even though she isn’t yours.”

When Eunseo entered sixth grade, her father’s business went under. He had so much debt that he had to run away after divorcing Eunseo’s stepmother.

Eunseo’s stepmother was running a fruit store. Worried that other people might think badly of her if she kicked Eunseo out, she allowed Eunseo to stay with her.
