1. Ever since I was little, I’ve always been alone.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. I lived with my older sister, kang seol, and the woman who was supposedly my mother,
1. But the only times we ever even saw each other's faces were at breakfast and dinner.
1. In this bleak household, the only person who actually spoke
2. "My September mock exam scores were good too."
3. "If I can just keep this condition up until the CSAT, I think I'll be fine."
2. Was my older sister, kang seol.
3. But kang seol was too busy showing off to that so-called mother of mine,
4. Song and
1. "Sera, are you even studying properly?"
2. "Last time I checked your report card, your grades kept going down."
1. "I'm trying hard..."
1. "Kang sera."
1. "How long are you going to live clinging to that doll?"
2. "At your age? It's really pathetic..."
1. "..."
2. I was nothing more than the sacrifice she used as an outlet.
1. "Kang sera,"
2. "It's bad manners to bring a doll to the dinner table."
2. "Go put it back in your room."
1. "Yes, okay..."
1. "...!"
2. "I'll just go to my room for a moment."
1. Whenever she got the chance, kang seol was cruel to me.
1. "Sis, you did this, didn't you?!"
1. "You knew how much this meant to me!"
1. "Kang sera,"
2. "You're the one who couldn't keep track of your own things, and now you're blaming someone else?"
2. "You're too old to be running around looking for dolls anyway, aren't you?"
3. "How about using this chance to bring up those falling grades?"
1. "And throw out that filthy doll while you're at it."
2. I didn't know why,
3. But she clearly saw me as an eyesore.
1. Once, it was so unfair and hard...
2. "I won't put up with this anymore!"
1. That I turned to the woman I called my mother for help,
1. But that woman just looked at me with a face that said she didn't get what the problem was.
1. "It's just a silly doll, how much could it cost?"
2. "I'll tell my secretary and"
1. "Have them buy you another one,"
2. "So stop making a fuss and go back to your room."
1. My sister's bullying and that woman's indifference.
1. I didn’t want to stay in that house for even another second.
1. "They treated me no better than some kid they've thrown away anyway,"
1. "So it's not exactly wrong."
1. "Since you're from a chaebol family, I thought I'd be hearing about strict family rules or faction wars,"
1. But instead what I heard was a tragic childhood...
1. "And that kang seol woman, just from what you've told me, she sounds like a real piece of work, you know?"
1. You really can't tell anything from appearances alone...
2. I was a little suspicious, but still..
1. "Well, I think I get it now, more or less."
3. "Get what...?"
1. "That because of your family environment,"
2. "Even though you crave human warmth,"
1. "What the...?"
1. What the...?
3. "You grew up into a mistrustful, bad-tempered, troublesome woman?"
1. "Woman?"
2. "You just insulted me, right?"
1. "I'm just judging objectively..."
2. "I'm saying you're not considering my sister's feelings at all!"
3. "That's not true?!"
4. "I paid off her debts,"
5. "Offered hotel staycations and overseas trips,"
6. "I did everything!"
1. "That's just trying to fix everything with money, isn't it?"
1. "Can't you solve everything with money?!"
2. "..."
1. "I mean... you can solve almost any problem with money..."
2. "I agree with you on that part."
3. "But my sister would rather stress herself than rely on someone else's help, even if it kills her."
2. "Shouldn't you start by understanding"
1. "Understanding that side of her?"
2. "..."
1. "I don't really know... So what am I supposed to do?"
1. "Well, I didn't expect you to understand everything all at once anyway."
2. "So from now on, let's think it through together."
3. "I'll help you."
1. "Thanks, sis-in-law~!"
1. "I should be the one thanking you, sister-in-law~"
2. "Who wouldn't be"
1. "Who wouldn't be grateful when you're paying off their family's debt...?!"
2. "Anyway, so my sister is the type who..."
3. "Yeah, yeah,"
2. "Joohee..."
1. She's really late...
1. "Sera?"
1. "Were you waiting for me?"
1. "Joohee, if you're not too tired,"
1. "Do you want to take a quick walk with me before we go in?"
1. "A-about yesterday... I'm sorry..."
2. "I don't think I've been in my right mind lately."
1. "Mind lately?"
2. "You said you didn't want to,"
3. "But I just did whatever I wanted..."
1. "No..."
2. "It's okay..."
1. "Y-yeah."
1. "So, joohee..."
1. "To be honest, I didn't really understand"
2. "How serious that family debt you're carrying was..."
1. "And you kept telling me you were fine with it..."
1. "So I hated that you didn't have time to spend with me because of work,"
2. "And I think that made me act even worse."
1. "So what I'm trying to say is,"
2. "I was thinking I could just pay off your family's debt for you."
1. "I know you already turned me down once, but.."
2. "If I did, you could reduce"
1. "Your work time,"
3. "And then we'd be able to spend more time together..."
1. "I'm doing what my sister-in-law told me to..."
2. "But is this really getting through properly?!"
3. Expensive gifts will just make my big sis feel pressured,
4. So take a calm, honest walk in front of her alone!
1. "...of view place!"
2. "Still, instead of just talking like this,"
3. "Wouldn't it be better to do it under a beautiful night view, while giving her a designer bag and some perfume..."
4. "Sera?!"
1. "Sera, watch out!"
1. "Are you okay?"
1. "Yeah..."
1. "..."
1. "Sera."
1. "I've been thinking about that too."
1. "About how I could stay by your side, sera..."
2. "To be honest, I was worried because I didn't know how you'd take it."
1. "But after hearing what you just said,"
1. "I feel like I can tell you now."
2. "Why is she..."
1. "I might end up by your side for the rest of my life, sera..."
