Chapter 43 - My job

"Excuse me!? what do you mean you're in a fake relationship with my son?"

"Uh, uh, the thing is..." da-hee couldn't stop stuttering, for the first time in years, she was actually afraid of someone's perception of her; She also wasn't expecting him to react in such an upset manner. "Sir, if you just give me a moment to explain."

"Ok, go ahead explain."

"I am sure you are already aware, I do not come from a wealthy family like the rest of the students that attend our school, and I am not a scholarship student either. Actually, I am not even from a normal average family. The only family I have left is my sister, our parents are gone. My sister and I have been alone since I was about ten years old, and she and I.... have had to do things to survive. We were taken in by a man named Cha min-geun. You met him some days ago. He took us in because he was a friend of our father, but in return for accommodating us we had to pay him back; we had to work for him. My job has been difficult and for my sister it has been hell. That is what he does, he takes advantage of even children; he prostitutes women, extorts and blackmails whoever in order to get what he wants."

Tae-hyun sat down and placed his hand on his head as he tried to process all the information he had just received, and then he asked. " You said you and your sister had to work for him, how old was your sister."

"It was about 8 years ago, she was 19 years old, and we had nothing."

"And your sisters job?"

"...., it was very difficult for her to do."

He could tell from her expression that the words were too hard to say, so he let it go. Besides, from all the things she said, and her behaviour, he had an idea what her job was; but one thing he couldn't let go of... "And, what was your job and how did you convince my son to enter a fake relationship with you?"

Da-hee took a deep breath and tried to answer carefully, because she knew that if she were to say anything that would make him angry, her entire plan was lost.

"My job is to blackmail those that Mr cha wants blackmailed, and.... I got your son to enter a relationship with me by blackmailing him."

Hearing that, tae-hyun immediately stood up. " With what, what did you blackmail him with?"

"Your sons secrets are his to share alone, you would have to ask him. I am telling you this because I need your help."

"Why would I help you after everything you did. You come into my home, lied to me, blackmailed my son and now you want my help!?"

"Sir please listen to me, we need to stop Mr cha-"

Before she could say another word, taehyun stopped her. He was so angry and raised his voice. "I don't need to stop anyone, thank you for warning me about him, that is the only good thing you have done. Now you and him can get out of my family's life."

"Sir"

"Leave and I never want to see you anywhere near me and my son again. Leave!!"

Da-hee left as quickly as she could and as she got into her taxi, she couldn't help but cry.
