Chapter 3 03. Bearer Of Bad Luck

Seo took a deep breath trying to calm down. Seo wanted to strangle the mothers for a long time, but fortunately she remembered that it was a sin.

As Seo got up from the swing seat, she gave a polite smile before answering Mom's first question.

"I will definitely have a partner but when I really feel ready, not when I'm no longer young."

Then after answering the first mother's question, Seo looked at the second Kim's mother, and then Seo also smiled the most polite smile.

"I have to be selective, I don't want to rush. There are still many things that are in fact happier if done alone, if forced I am afraid to be the cause of other people's heartache. My soul mate is still in God's keeping, so please, don't ask again when to get married."

Seo could tell by the looks on the ladies' lips that they wanted to ask more questions, but stopped when they were interrupted by a loud shout that Seo didn't know where it came from.

Seo flinched a little and so did the mothers, then Seo immediately looked back when she saw the eyes of the mothers who were talking to her turned in that direction. Seo was stunned because that house was his little friend's house.

"There is no day when the house is not noisy, every day there is always a big noise. I felt sorry for the child, she was pressured too much. He must be very scared."

"Try to understand the mother, you think it's easy to raise a child alone without a husband? Geez, just raising my son makes me want to run away!"

Seo couldn't understand what the two moms were saying, what exactly were they talking about, were they discussing her little friend's family. But why must there be the word 'without a husband'.

Indeed, Seo was burning with confusion.

Tired of guessing what happened, Seo preferred to go there because her curiosity was so great.

"Eomma, why are you treating me like this! Is your daughter only Kak Rae? I'm also your daughter Eomma I know I'm useless but why do you discriminate and let Kak Rae live as she pleases, while I Eomma never wants to fulfill my request, I don't want to marry Congressman Yoon, I don't want to Eomma."

The girl looked down blankly, with unstoppable tears flooding her cheeks. Her breath came in short gasps, her chest feeling full and tight despite the girl's repeated punches to her chest.

It collapsed and collapsed even more when I saw a suitcase beside Eommanya, did Eommanya intend to throw it away from here?

The girl's mother, Choi Hyo Won, chuckled in displeasure. Looking down on the girl who couldn't move or do anything.

"You've started to argue, have you forgotten? You live only to trouble me. In this world, you were a bully from the start. You don't deserve to live, you son of a bitch, you're just a burden to me!"

Her heart stopped beating, as if she couldn't believe her own Eomma's words, the girl could only freeze, gripping her grip tightly.

The girl was suffocating with wounds, day by day the dagger had sunk deeper and deeper, Eommanya's own words were destroying her life. Truly, she never asked for this kind of life!

Even if the girl complied with her Eomma's request to marry her off to the Congressman, it would be even more torturous and could even lead to instant death, as he would only enslave her.

The tears of pain that were unstoppable continued to reveal devastation, the girl timidly looked up at Eommanya who was staring at her with hatred. "Then, just get rid of me now!"

The girl screamed very loudly, pouring out all the pain that had been stabbing her soul.

"STOP IT, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Mrs. Choi's hand that was about to strike the girl again was stopped, when the sound of the door slamming and opening wide was accompanied by a loud shout, revealing Joon who was covered in wrath on every inch of his face.

For the past two minutes, Joon has been standing outside listening to the conversation between Auntie Choi, whom he knows so well, and his little friend Ara. He couldn't bear to listen any more and stayed silent.

The girl was stunned when she heard a very familiar voice in her ears. Indeed, that voice always remained alive and clearly recorded in her heart, the voice of the face of the man she hoped to see again. The girl did not want to turn around or turn her head, she was afraid that if the hope was not there, she was afraid that it was just similar.

Seo stayed where she was, rounding her eyes in shock and disbelief. His hands that were clenched on either side of his body slowly loosened.

Seo was too exhausted to make a sound. What the heck is going on? What's wrong with Ara? Why is Ara sitting on a wheelchair? Wasn't it seven years ago, Ara was still fine and even drove him to the airport when he wanted to leave to continue his studies in Jakarta.

Mrs. Choi stared fiercely at Seo's face who had just stepped out gallantly while looking at her flatly.

It turns out that someone dared to interfere apparently. Seo saw that it felt like seeing a different person, Auntie Choi's aura was very different from seven years ago.

"Auntie, I don't know what really happened. But you shouldn't talk to Ara like that!"

Ara's hand, which was tightly gripping the handle of his wheelchair, suddenly slackened, trying to calm the pounding of his heart when he heard the voice calling him by Ara's name.

Really only the man she expected to call her Ara, only Kak Joon. Slowly, Ara turned her body to look at the person and Ara immediately looked down unable to stand her heart beating so fast. Kak Joon, it's Joon, her heart rushed when she mentioned the man's name.

Just a second of seeing Ara's face turned towards him, made Seo immediately turn his face away unable to look at the pain in Ara's eyes, Ara's pale face with puddles of tears in his eyes pressed his chest tightly.

"Tsk, how dare you interfere, just think! Children are born because their parents need them. Just ask your parents, do they need a useless child?" Mrs. Choi snapped angrily.

"Eomma..." Ara said in a trembling voice, one that was very fragile and wounded. She struggled to keep the trembling from spreading throughout her body. This trembling was too painful, like being stabbed by thousands of maggots slowly.

"It shouldn't have been born!" Seo's voice boomed, uncontrollable despite his best efforts to lower his intonation.

Seo's face clouded with disbelief when Eomma Ara said those words in front of her own biological daughter.

Without many words, Seo immediately walked over to Ara and knelt in front of the girl, his heart aching at the sight of the tears that welled up in Ara's sad-looking eyes, Ara's cheeks also had deep blue bruises. The girl continued to look down with her shoulders shaking violently.

"Ara, listen to me. I'll marry you soon!"

Ara widened her eyes in disbelief. Her heart rate exceeded the normal limit.
