Chapter 96: Where did I stop?
I stayed quiet, trying to control myself and free my heart from the cloth of painful feelings that it was wrapped in.
I hated that I was quick to tears, but what I hated more was that despite knowing what I had gone through, despite remembering everything they had made me go through... I still couldn’t hate them as much as I was supposed to, and that made me feel miserable.
I couldn’t shun them. I couldn’t... I couldn’t hit them. I couldn’t even curse at them for all their worth.
I couldn’t do anything, and not because I was trying to maintain an amicable relationship, but because I couldn’t bear to do anything.
Was my heart always so weak? I had no idea, but it caused me to feel and look pathetic in front of Jin-Yeok.
’These stupid emotions...’ I rubbed my cheeks violently, trying to stop the tears, but they wouldn’t stop. ’Stop crying already. Stop it.’
Jin-Yeok watched how ’pitiful’ I looked, and his heart ached. He got up and sat next to me, dropping my head on his shoulder.
"I’m fine, I’m fine." I said, though I was still sobbing. Why did he have to see me like this? "Seriously, master. I’m alright."
Says the person whose tears wouldn’t stop flowing down.
