Hyoyeon was walking briskly on her way out. Passing through quiet and empty corridors, tears were already falling on her cheeks.

"That witch, thinking that she can bribe me with her money," Hyoyeon thought to herself, "She can keep her filthy cash to herself!"

"How dare she insult me like that!"

"She has no right to say those things to me!"

Hyoyeon stopped walking. She was already sobbing. She fell on her feet, held her knees, and started crying.

"Why do I feel like this?"

"Why am I crying over what she said?"

President Kim's words echoed inside her head: "I want you to stay away from my son... You're not good enough for my son..."

"You're not good enough for my son."

Hyoyeon sobbed with those words in her head.

"Why am I sad?"

She remembered the times she had with Jongin: when they went to the park, when he bought her food when she got hungry inside the library, when he helped her with the novel, when he gave her free rides to work, when he stayed with her and Minseok at the hospital, and when he just stayed beside her while she cried her heart out because of Sehun... Jongin was there during those moments that made her happy. And she doesn't want to stay away. She wants to be with him, to be with the person who made her happy, who gave her chills and butterflies in her stomach, who stayed with her throughout her life's happiness and disappointments.
