Flashback (SinB's story) 

SinB was just 10 when her father passed away and she's of course felt so sad because her mother has to works really for supporting their life. Her late father didn't leave a lot of money after his death, he's not a rich man after all. He just a normal father and husband who works as an officer at an ordinary company back to supporting his life along with his wife and his only one daughter 

At her age reached 12,her mother remarried to another man which he is a close friend to her mother. She's at first dislike her stepfather but after got really warm and a fatherly affection, she's managed to open her heart in accepting that man as her stepfather 

Her stepfather is a single father. He has one son, who he is 3 years older than SinB. Her step brother can accepted SinB mother as his mom but not SinB. He don't like SinB being one of his siblings. Like SinB, he also a single son. He never shared his parents love with anyone before. And SinB presence is indeed raising an angry feeling in himself 

SinB is younger than him and the percent of his parents to love SinB more than him is getting higher. After SinB and her mother became a part of his family, he'll treated SinB in very cold way

Whenever SinB try to talk or having a few chat with him just like other siblings, he'll gave SinB a cold shoulder and ask her to leave him alone. Being a witness of his son antic, SinB stepfather will scold him and ask to talk more nicely to SinB 

His father love toward SinB make that step brother became more angry and felt unsatisfied. He'll bullied SinB whenever got a chance. He'll threaten that girl to not complain about his action to their parents. Feeling scared toward her brother, SinB just obeyed him

SinB didn't really care about she being bullied by her brother because her stepfather really love her. He love her just his own daughter, since he's also didn't has a daughter. Having SinB as his daughter is something that he really grateful 

Not sky not always bright, when SinB was in her third year of her high school, her mother left her. Forever. Her mother has suffered with cancer that she didn't even know since when. She's sad because she just became an orphan at that moment. But her stepfather didn't allowed her felt so because he was there to replace her real parents

SinB felt so grateful because him as her stepfather but all of those thing didn't long lasting. Her step brother anger and hatred toward her getting increase. If before SinB mother passed away, he'll just bullied her by asking her to cleaning his messy room and wash his clothes. But then, his bully action getting worse 

He asked SinB to did all house chores and finishing his homework. Since SinB is not in same level as him at school, she can't do that homework well. She did everything in that books in wrong way. It cause her to got a hit from that young boy. SinB felt scared to report about it to her stepfather since her brother keep on threats her to torture her more worse 

A few months after her mother died, her stepfather works is getting worse because he can't focus. It cause him to got scold by his boss. Almost everyday he's coming home with miserable mind. His son took that advantage to firing his father mind by telling about SinB getting rude and disobedient girl 

Due to his already messy mind, he's starts scold SinB till make that girl scare to stay alive. Till reached at the moment her stepfather hitting him with his belt because just a very small mistake. SinB forgot to ironing his work uniform. SinB who still sleeping that time got woke by a hot iron that land on her waist. It did leave a scar, till now

"May I take a look at it?" Yuju who just be a loyal listener since just not asking carefully, earn a small nod from SinB

SinB lift up her shirt a bit till reveal her white and fair waist side. Yuju frown when she can't found any scar on that area

"It's in the middle of my waist" SinB said make Yuju take a look at her back a bit and there she saw there's a red sign, even though it has happen about 3 years ago, that scar still look fresh. Yuju let go her hold from SinB shirt then give a sympathetic look at that younger girl 

"It's still can be heal. I have a friend who own a beauty's clinic. We'll go to her and heal this scar of yours" Yuju said with gentle tone but only received a small smile 

"It's ok unnie. I don't want to burdening you. May I proceed my story?" Yuju just nodding 

Things getting more worse when SinB stepfather got fired from his work. His workplace is having a trouble in paying their workers salary and it cause many workers lost their jobs, including SinB stepfather 

He tried to look for another jobs but he couldn't find one. Till one day, when he's coming home after tired looking for a jobs, both of his childrens are arguing. They're holding SinB mother picture frame that time

They're like just was pulling that frame from each other and that frame that contain SinB mother picture slip from SinB hand and crashed on the floor. Seeing his late beloved wife picture that scattered on the floor really raising a blood form his inner body

That sight who was greeting him as soon as he step into his house was really the sight that make he felt mad and angry. Due to his tired and sore body, he scold them for arguing about a small thing but being his son, SinB step brother managed to make their argument was starts with from SinB

The truth is SinB was crying while hugging tight her mother picture in her arms. And her step brother who just passed by her room decided to take a way that picture but of course SinB didn't allowed it. That's the precious thing for her after her mother has left her

SinB however did not win on that night. Her stepfather trusted his son more after he said SinB try to take that frame from him. Her stepfather felt so angry by just hearing that short word from his son. He make SinB slept at outside their house that night 

So SinB sleeping at their doorstep. By just accompanied with a cold wind and coincidence that night was a winter night. There she is, sleeping without any blanket, pillow or mattress. Nothing with her other than a tears that come out nonstop from her eyes 

SinB as if still can feel that cold night wind. It's somehow sending a chilling wind to her body, plus it was still early in the morning when she told her past life to Yuju. She rub both of her side body to keep her body in warm. But it doesn't enough, it's only enough when Yuju pull her into a hug. And there she found her warm 

"It's ok, I'm here now" Yuju whispering but she only reply with a small nod before continue her story 

Day by day has passed and SinB suffer still unchanged. If before her stepbrotheer didn't dare to touch nor hurt her but he managed to do it after his father always hurting that girl. He starts hitting and hurting SinB whenever he want. His father seems didn't really care about it since he having a thought that SinB presence in his family is just bringing a bad luck 

SinB once try to run away from that house that she thinks as hell but she failed. Her brother knew her intention and hurt her more bad. After has few years been through those hardness, SinB was 18 already. Due to her scariness, she afraid to making a friend. She'll just straight coming home as soon as she finish her school

Then that time came. It happen while she's cleaning all dirty plate that left by both her stepfather and brother. Her brother suddenly come into the kitchen and hug her all of sudden. His hands starts roaming all over SinB body

SinB however managed to let herself go from her step brother hug then was about to run away but got stop when her stepfather blocking her way by standing at the hallways heading to living room. She try to scream but only got shut by her step brother with beast lust palm

Her stepfather held her to make she's stop from struggling in his son grip. SinB at that time know that she'll not have any chance to escape from those two beast but she's tougher herself to helping herself. If she didn't help herself, who else gonna help her. That's what she thought 

With strong movement, she bit her brother palm till make that guy yelp in pain. She then kick her father man property hardly till that old man groan in pain. She took that advantage to run as fast as she could. She's running without destination, the next thing she know she has entered into the town

All eyes are on her. She look at herself and found her conditions is really mess. With messy hairs, wet and puffy eyes, a bit ripped cloth that she got when her step brother was about to reached out for her just now. She want asking for help and then that time she saw Yerin. Without thinking twice, she's running toward that woman who clearly shock with her sudden appearance 

End of Flashback. 

SinB was crying hardly when she's recalling back what has happens to her before. She can't imagine it what if she fail to escape from those two jerk man. She surely die by commit a suicide right now

She's close her face with her palm. Crying in there for awhile before she can feel a warmness of Yuju body was wrapping tightly around her. She's lean in more into Yuju embrace to find a calmness that she aim for 

"Shh, don't crying for a past. It'll never change a thing. Let past become a past. Let's look forward and face the future. I'm here now" Yuju soothing her cry wife while whispering a comfort words

She promise with herself that if SinB give her a chance, she want to make that younger girl feel the happiness. SinB didn't deserve a sadness or hardness in this world. She want to do it. Yuju want to give SinB an happiness 

When Yuju in her own thought about SinB happiness. That younger girl can just smile sadly. By just being with Yuju is enough making she's happy. She herself don't know what Yuju mean by she's here for her. Did she mean that she'll be there for SinB for entire of her life or only just in this 3 years ahead? SinB don't know. She also didn't want to know it because she couldn't handle her pain if her second thought was true

Chapter 76: KAYATA BRUH. What a ing rollercoaster. HAHAHAHAHA There’s been more happening in the past 10 chapters than the entire story lmfao I thank author-nim for making this as Sinju friendly as possible so I did not have to sacrifice my phone’s life. I’m sad that this isn’t complete and is in such a precarious situation. It’s not quite a cliff-hanger but its in a position where there’s very clearly many things being set up and Sinju is in even more danger.

Deadass this story has gone from a simple fluffy plot to an actual Korean Drama. Everything is there from the vengeful mother-in-law who hates the main love interest+mom has a huge debilitating illness cliche, the main lead is a rich chaebol heir+looks good in everything+has the height for soft cuddles/spooning love interest+gives piggyback rides, the main love interest who’s poor+super cute & lovable, the other love interest who comes in out of nowhere but falls in love with the other side-lead (Yerin). God this is literally a K-drama.

I’m living for this let me just say. If ya ever come back to this author-nim I would be hella hyped and Ik I’m not alone when I say this.

Chapter 68: I just want to say that I will actually throw my phone away if SinB accepts Jackson’s advances in the next chapter. An advanced warning because if I don’t leave another comment that probably means that my phone has been obliterated. I have faith in Hwang Eunbi as a person and as Yuju’s lover. I have faith in their marriage however it may be contested. If Yuju can say no to her past feelings for Eunha, SinB can say no to Jackson Wang’s face. I swear to God Hwang Eunbi. Remember who you’ve left behind in Korea. Remember Yuju’s love and Arin’s affection for you. Remember your god damned family. Don’t throw away the 3 years you’ve spent together. So help me God.

Sinju is crushing my heart lately. This Apple comeback has been amazing. I came across this story like a dream and its been amazing so far. Ngl. I enjoyed every single second I’ve spent reading this. I’m putting this all out so I won’t have to write whilst in rage that I will probably feel should some things happen. Just remember that the past 68 chapters have been amazing and I loved them all. Wish me luck for the next few chapters.
