Chapter 2.5
"Since it's mine, I'll handle it. If I’ve given it to you once, stop interfering. Don't meddle crudely."
"There will be nothing of yours in our house from now on."
"What do you mean?"
Haewon bristled and glared at his father. As he picked up the golf ball that had rolled to his feet, his father pretended to be indifferent as he cleared his throat. He set his stance and carefully aimed to place the white ball into the narrow hole.
"The officetel is in my name, so it's mine."
"I'll change it to Haejung's name."
"...What did you say?"
"Your stepmother caused such a fuss, and there's nothing I can do for her, but I told her I’d change it to Haejung’s name, and she quieted down."
"You’ve got dozens of them, not just one! Why are you giving away mine?!"
Haewon jumped up.
"You insist on having yours. If not, you say you won't live here, and you say you'll hide away somewhere with Haejung. What am I supposed to do then? The only children I have are you and Haejung, but you’re already a grown-up, and I’ll just live to see Haejung grow. You can only do so much. No matter how pretty Goryeong is, she costs money, and my strength is failing, so I can't keep doing this anymore. I'm getting old, you know."
