I brought my knees close to my chest, hugging them tight. So, I wasn’t Son Hyemi? After years of living my life in this house, it turned out that I didn’t even belong here? L Kim, he had something to do with me. Was I the Suzy that he talked about? All of the sudden, I felt stupid and worthless.

Tears couldn’t stop falling down my cheeks. Looking around the room, it felt awful when this room’s not even mine. This life’s nothing but a lie. I curled up into a ball and lied down on the cold floors, feeling so horrible that I didn’t think that I could get up again.

‘Hyemi-ya, get up, dumplings…’

I opened my eyes after I heard that voice and quickly got up.

‘What do you want?!’ I let out my anger by shouting at him. I felt quite sad when I saw his shocked face but I tried to not show it.

‘I brought you food…’

‘I don’t want it! Oppa, I wanna know who I really am! I wanna see L Kim. I wanna go out!’ I tried to stand up but Dongwoon Oppa quickly held my shoulders.

‘You won’t be going anywhere, Son Hyemi!’

‘I’m not Son Hyemi! I wanna get out of here, this’s not my home!’ I yelled back, trying to break free from his hold but he’s too strong.

‘This is your home! Why can’t you just believe me?!’ He shouted like a mad man that his eyes started to redden, as if he’s turning into a monster. Seeing him like this, suddenly, I felt scared.

‘Please, Oppa. No more lies… Let me go.’ Scared, I could only let out a whimper, hoping that he would let me go but no, he’s not affected. His face changed at first but then, he turned back into a horrifying person.

‘I have nobody else but you. You’re the reason I could breathe. I already told you, Hyemi. I’d die if you left me. Now eat your meal.’

He let go and walked out of the room. Hearing the click sound from outside, I knew that he sealed the door shut and there’s no way that I could get out. My room was at the first floor, so it’s quite impossible to get out by the windows.

My legs jellied and soon, I went on my knees as tears couldn’t stop rolling down again.

My pitiful life, I felt like dying right now.

That lady earlier didn’t let me to come into Hyunwoo’s room but I really wanted to see him and ask what happened. All the reasons and why Suzy didn’t know who she was. This’s getting confusing and it’s like nothing made sense anymore.

‘You’re still here? Go away. I don’t want to see you near Oppa or he’d go nuts again.’ I turned to the lady just to be greeted with a frown and the look of hate smeared all over her
