Second adoption

11. I told you this…

Sympathy… Did I do something like that?

I just

I think it will be difficult…

Yeah, I guess this was seen as sympathy from Lee Ji-hoon's perspective.

김여주

Uh, I'm sorry…

이지훈

You… can’t you please stay out of my sight?

At this point, why is Lee Ji-hoon treating me like this?

I wondered if he hated it, if he loathed it

김여주

But… what on earth did I do wrong…?

I finally asked…

I couldn't overcome my sadness and ended up saying it

I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.

이지훈

Hey, you?

김여주

What the hell did I do wrong?? I was just adopted because they told me to!!

이지훈

Sigh... I just hate you

just…?

There are so many reasons and excuses in the world.

But just…?

If that reason or excuse just becomes meaningless

It's harder than when you hear other reasons or excuses.

이지훈

Is it okay?

Lee Ji-hoon passed by, tapping my shoulder.

After Lee Ji-hoon passed by, I stood there for a while, wiping away the tears flowing from my eyes.

I couldn't move

김민규

Kim Yeo-ju…? What, why are you crying?

김여주

Sob… ugh…

김민규

Ah… It might be a bit awkward to do this in the living room, so let’s go into our room first.

I didn't want to go in, but my brother insisted and persuaded me to go in, so I ended up going into his room.

When I entered Min-gyu's room, all of my brothers except for Lee Ji-hoon and the adult brothers, and Chan-i were there.

Thanks to that, all eyes were focused on me.

권순영

What did Lee Ji-hoon really say…?

Sunyoung spoke softly, but no one, including me, heard him.

서명호

Yeoju-woo… why are you crying…

김민규

Kim Yeo-ju, you sit here for now.

이찬

What, what is it…

-The words in parentheses are the character's thoughts!-

문준휘

(I wonder what's going on)

부승관

(Is it related to the incident where I fell back then?)

전원우

Yeoju, are you doing this because you are thinking of your mother?

I shook my head.

이석민

What's going on, heroine?

최한솔

Lady, can you tell me what's going on?

Lee Ji-hoon told me not to say anything…

But then again, Chan-i said last time that since we’re family now, I can tell him anything that happens…

I stayed still

권순영

Lee Ji-hoon…is that why?

what

How on earth does Soonyoung know that…?

김여주

How, how did you do that…

권순영

I heard it when I went to borrow gym clothes from Chani.

최한솔

What on earth must have happened with Jihoon hyung for him to cry so sadly?

이석민

Don't keep it to yourself, tell us too. We're family too.

권순영

Can I… speak?

I had a lot of thoughts

I was afraid of my successor if I spoke.

Well, honestly, you could say that and not do anything.

But now, everything related to that guy was like a source of fear to me.

권순영

Lady, if you're afraid of the heir, don't worry.

문준휘

That's right, heroine, the brothers will protect you.

I nodded reluctantly.

No, I think it would be more accurate to say that I nodded because I believed in the brothers who were by my side right now.

권순영

Well… to put it simply, Lee Ji-hoon really hates Yeo-ju

최승철

what?

Suddenly, Seungcheol oppa, Jeonghan oppa, and Jisoo oppa came into the room.

서명호

what…

홍지수

I was about to go in because it seemed like you guys were all gathered here.

윤정한

Did you hear everything?

문준휘

What about work?

최승철

I finished everything

홍지수

So what does that mean?

권순영

Lee Ji-hoon said he really hates the female lead...

부승관

So, is that why I saw it then?

김여주

Yes… I’m sorry for lying…

부승관

No, heroine, what do you have to be sorry about?

김민규

Don't you know why Jihoon hyung hates you?

김여주

That's... I just don't like it...

최승철

Yeoju, you must have had a hard time. I'm sorry I only found out about it now.

윤정한

You must be tired, heroine… Go to your room and rest.

홍지수

My brother will take you there.

I couldn't refuse Jisoo's offer to take me there even though it wasn't that far, so I went to the room with him.

홍지수

Hey, get some rest and let me know if you need anything, okay?

김여주

yes…

So Jisoo Oppa left my room.

Haa… Is this right…?
