“Aren’t you capable of living on your own now? You need to find your own path.”
The words flowed easily, perhaps because she had been contemplating this for a while.
Unlike the calm Sohwa, Dohwi’s expression turned fierce.
“You promised to take care of me for life!”
He said, his gaze fixed on her with a determined intensity.
“When did I say that? I only agreed to stay with you until you were all grown up. Back then, you seemed so fragile and pitiable that I decided to extend my kindness.”
Dohwi remained silent, just like the calm before a storm.
“Now it’s time for you to stand on your own feet and start your own family. Find a lovely partner and have children. Of course, I need to do the same, I guess.”
He remained silent, wiping his hands roughly with the damp cloth.
The way his strong fingers moved aggressively reflected his inner turmoil, as if he was on the verge of an explosion.
“So you’re abandoning me.”
