I Became the Youngest Daughter of a Chaebol Family

I’d rather direct than take on some half-assed role.

Especially that role Lee Seo-hye suggested—the one where the couple ends up parting ways in the end. I know it’s just acting, logically, but my heart couldn’t go along with it.

...If I had to define this emotion, maybe it’s the desire to always be someone’s top priority.

You know, that feeling. When you thought you were someone’s best friend, thought they really liked you, only to realize they just saw you as one of many.

I... really hated that feeling. No matter who it was, if someone was close to me, I wanted them to put me first—always.

So I think backwards. If someone gives me a “10” in love, I’ll give back a “1” like a donation. If they give me “100,” maybe I’ll return “5.”

Because unrequited love... it’s just too painful and exhausting. That’s why even though I crave love from everyone, I can’t actually give it.

‘How pathetic. Clinging to feelings for someone who’s already dead for ten years.’

The memory still burns in me like a brand. With my damn sharp mind, I remembered the affection my father used to show me far too well.

It had been so sweet, so overwhelming—that even I, with all my pride, had ended up clinging so pathetically.
