Seo-Jin was pertained to with the business handles when Jae addressed him at the company. She possessed her thresholds, her own to do things.
The clicking sound of her heels meandered around in the area, succeeding around to unite her husband after ages. Being a wife, age didn't have any inklings about him, how was he doing? soever.
Nothing, just herself and her greed.
"Hello, Mr Seo?" she whispered while holding a pretender smile over her face, and soon the smacking sound interrupted him on a momentous call, which turned on his nerves.
Scrutinizing her from tip to toe with administering the look of scorn as well bitterness. And a deep sigh left his way while asking to hang up the ongoing call with one of his shareholders.
She snigger while shifting her on the chair like a boss, but this behaviour of her angered Seo-Jin even more.
"What is it? I guess you don't have to come here just for rest?" his words poured outrage.
She let out an evil laugh indisputably she was violent. "Ah, such an angry bird, I don't need a reason to get here, " her complexion was interviewing his anger, his violent nature because he was well aware by the fact that how she failed to be a better wife, a better mother, not became an alcoholic lady with no shame.
"So now you occurred to get back to the role of wife, a mother huh?"
"Umm...well I'm not but I guess sometimes become a bad mother for Jin-Ae, very bad for her?"
It was enough, enough with his toleration because his blood boiled, coming to know that she behaved bitterly with his daughter, in the whole time she appeared to mourn alone.
With every passing moment, her face aggravated him, he didn't the woman with whom he fell in love, was now wrecking his family.
"Don't you dare touch her? It's a warning alright? I hope you take it seriously otherwise consequence won't be your side," he cleared himself while walking out of his office but her face didn't twitch a bit, her wrinkles out of uncertainty didn't appear over her face.
"But I already did, she ruined everything for me, and now I would do the same to her, just wait and watch husband, in addition, you won't be able to help her out," she whispers after the disappearance.
"Just wait and watch!"

The clock showed 10:30 pm but there was no sight of Jin-Ae, not yet which concerned her brother to the max.
"Give her a call?" Ari spoke while stroking his arm to relax him down.
"It's unavailable, I have embarked thousands of times," he whispered in a worried tone while walking down in the living area.
"Don't get panic, she will be alright?"
**
"Jee-Ho, have you all had the dinner?" their concerns was interrupted by Jae speaking out through the dining space.
"No, Jin-Ae-" she was cut off with her, "I only asked if the members present here, had?" she didn't count Jin-Ae, because she wanna tortured her in every way possible, whether it was going out, coming for breakfast, it got late for something she wouldn't have. That's how she tolerated her anguish.
She nodded
"Then throw the remaining, " her command instructed Jee-Ho, to put the food in the trash.
But she hesitated a little while peeking in the direction of them, who was involved in the world of concern for Jin-Ae, they didn't pay attention to whether was happening around in the dining area. "Didn't you hear?" she had to request her as there was no hope, every day she encountered the sight of her torturing Jin-Ae, but what stopped her from disclosing it to Ji-Hoon and Seo-Jin, was her promise to Jin-Ae, not to inform about all this to anyone out there.
"Hello, where are you? I said throw, don't you know what it means? now her tone had a bit of bitterness which weakened her to throw away the dinner.
She nodded and moments later Jae encountered her throwing it away and a sigh of relief, she inhaled.
"Good!"
And she got out of there to get in the living area where Ji-Hoon had her in arms, Jin-Ae, it looked like she was back.
"Let's see their reunion," she mumbled while standing with the support of the wall.
"Where were you? Why your phone was out of reach? huh?" it appeared that he was scolding her for threatening him to death.
"I'm alright, and the phone was out of charge so it didn't connect, I'm sorry," her voice seemed much sad, which both of them noticed. Pulling her away, Ji-Hoon, connected his eyes with hers, needing to know the truth.
"What happened? Is something bothering you?"
She smiled a little, "It's not I'm not but I guess I'm sleepy so might be," again she lied.
"Alright, have dinner and then go to bed?" Ari suggested and furthermore on the way to the dining space.
"Let's go," he forced her to follow the steps there.
"I'm not hungry brother," again a lie escaped her mouth to which she didn't feel a bit.
"No."
"Jee-Ho, serve dinner for Jin-Ae," he spoke out loud because she was working in the kitchen.
They didn't have the sight of Jae as she moved back from their way, hiding behind the walls.
"Sorry, but I threw the remaining food on the order-" she glanced at her, before continuing to end up the sentence but changed her phrase when Jae's threatened her with wide eyes that held anger, and warning at the same moment.
"What? You didn't know that she didn't have dinner, and you threw," Ari spoke while handing to the kitchen to catch on the food.
"Why did you throw, you could keep it in the refrigerator too, was that bothering you so much?" Now Ji-Hoon got angry at her nonsense.
"It's an alright brother, don't get mad at her, I had on the way back home," She said while standing up from the chair.
His eyes held worry for her, for his only reason to live under this mess.
"Are you serious Jee-Ho? There is anything to eat? I know you didn't do it yourself, tell me who told you because no matter what you always saved the dinner if someone got late, but what is happening to you huh?" scolding was not an option as she was not the one to blame but her mother-in-law.
"I will cook again, I'm sorry it happen to know that she wasn't here," Jee-Ho favoured herself just to save herself from Jae.
"No, please don't bother I had, get asleep," Jin-Ae said while soothing the situation a bit.
"Come, Let's go to bed, brother," and then on they separated their ways to room.
______________
Jin-Ae:)
"Shit, the brother would be worried," I mumbled while coming to know that my phone turned off due to a charge. And then I wiped off the sad look while adjusting myself.
And then I moved into the direction where the act was parked, I hurried my steps ever fast because I didn't know about the time, got mesmerised with the never happening moments.
Climbing inside the car, I made my way back home, speeding up to the high speed.
And after almost one hour, I reached and reached inside were brother and Ari were worrying for me I guess.
"Brother?" I mumbled before glancing at him, his eyes were full of concern.
"Jin-Ae?" he spoke out in a broken voice, and soon he pulled me into a tight hug and slightly kissed my forehead.
"Where were you? Why your phone was out of reach? huh?" only he was the reason why I backed off to home from there otherwise I had no reason to stay here and bear the harm.
"I'm alright, and the phone was out of charge so it didn't connect, I'm sorry," soon my lips moved upside and formed a smile seeing him worried for me.
However, my voice held sadness in it, and I was pretty sure that they would notice that and it happened when he spoke about the same. "What happened? Is something bothering you?"
He pulled me away while connecting my sights with his, I smiled a little, "It's not I'm not but I guess I'm sleepy so might be," I lied, yeah I was sad and wanted to tell him my bearing, I needed to cry.
But I held my emotions just to not worry him.
"alright have dinner and go to bed," I suggested but I wasn't in the mood to have dinner.
"I'm not hungry, brother," lied again.
"No!"
"Jee-Ho, serve the food for Jin-Ae?" his loud voice, made her hurry to the dining space from the kitchen.
Sorry, but I threw the remaining food on the order-" she spoke out while heading her head low, might be because she forget to but when her eyes travelled somewhere, I followed and noticed her.
And the whole happening occurred to me.
"What? You didn't know that she didn't have dinner, and you threw," Ari's voice interrupted my thoughts over her. And moved inside the kitchen, might be to grab food.
"Why did you throw, you could keep it in the refrigerator too, was that bothering you so much?" but his voice held a lot of anger because it was unusual to all of us.
I didn't want to blame her because she wasn't but someone who was hiding behind.
"It's alright brother, don't get mad at her, I had on the way back home," I whispered, as I didn't wish brother to scold her, I knew she was forced to do by her.
I somehow managed to calm down him a little, as he was only worried for me but then Ari spilt her anger on her.
"Are you serious Jee-Ho? There is anything to eat? I know you didn't do it yourself, tell me who told you because no matter what you always saved the dinner if someone got late, but what is happening to you huh?" she was scolding her like a boss, which seemed funny to me in one way, I felt happy to have them, I wish we had another home somewhere else.
I loved her so much, much a real mother.
"I will cook again, I'm sorry it happen to know that she wasn't here," I was stunned by her, no.
It was not like I would disturb because of troubles, my fears.
She always held love for me and the same was for me. I loved her but I understand her situation right now and didn't wish to disturb her at midnight.
"No, please don't bother I had, get asleep," I said and held his hand, wanting to disappear from there, because I didn't want to harden the situation for her because of me.
"Come, let's go to bed brother," and so he did.
After some moment, we parted ways to separate rooms while I peeked at Jee-Ho, a sigh of relief escaped my mouth, watching her get inside her room.
"Good Night!" I said.
