Because Of You
Chapter 1.
In the cold, dark rain, thunder and thunder, bringing a feeling of fear to the exterior, people rushed home quickly, then, in a convenience store, a girl with a roof, short gray-brown hair, still calmly pacing through the stalls, picking up some necessary personal items. When she finished her selection, she went to the checkout counter and found a young girl arguing with the cashier there.
- Ma'am, if you want to buy cigarettes, you need to show your citizenship card to verify your age.
- I ... leave at home, look, do I look like a kid? - The other girl was annoyed, her voice a bit loud.
- I'm sorry, ma'am, there's a camera here, I can't do anything else.
- It's really pissed off - the young girl got angry, slammed her hand on the counter table, then went out.
The cashier girl sighed, then continued with the next customer, the short haired girl approached, paid for her order, and casually bought more packs of cigarettes. She stepped outside, handing the pack of cigarettes to the impatient young girl.
- Hey.
This young girl was blond, with a young face, probably not yet 18 years old, she was surprised to see someone who seemed older, tall, gray-brown hair, handing the pack to herself, probably overheard her conversation with the other cashier girl.
- Thanks - she gently accepted the pack of cigarettes, then pulled out a cigarette, and smoked. It is still raining, the air will be chilly, the clock is still running, it is too late.
- You are not old enough, right? Yet already in love with smoking - the short-haired girl said kindly.
- It's okay, anyway I have to smoke it later, why don’t I smoke it right now? - The blonde handed out a cigarette, and got a shake of the head of the taller girl
- No, I don't smoke.
- What your name?
- Lee Siyeon, what about you?
- Lee Gahyeon.
- Gahyeon, you should learn to quit smoking, it's not good for your health.
- In this society, many people like to say this sentence - Gahyeon looked up to the sky, blowing cold air into the air.
- But it's true - Siyeon said briefly, then popped the umbrella and prepared to leave.

Getting into her blue car, Siyeon sighed and kicked off the gas, the rain was getting heavier, driving while looking at the road was difficult, after half an hour of struggles, she finally got home. . After taking a shower and getting on her comfy bed, Siyeon got a call from her father.
He called her back to Daegu for a meal, he introduced his new wife, what the hell?
It has been 5 years since Siyeon's mother passed away, her mother has had an unfortunate accident, then Lee family estate is divided into half, Siyeon half, Mr. Lee half.
In the family of the strongest financial builder is Mrs. Lee, she has many rental properties, Mr. Lee is just an office worker with very small positions in the agency. The year Mrs. Lee died, Siyeon was only 16 years old, Siyeon’s maternal family decided to leave half of the estate to Mr. Lee, and the other half to Siyeon, and drag Siyeon back to their family.
Siyeon's relationship with Mr. Lee was not very close, they lived in the same house, but Siyeon soon saw her parents' controversy many times, she discovered, her father had an affair and betrayed her mother, but still acting shows nothing in the house.
Until Mrs. Lee died, Siyeon refused to choose to stay with her father, and returned to her maternal grandparents' home.
With her smart head, from the property inherited by her mother, Siyeon studied hard, she moved to Seoul, and continued to actively develop her mother's work. As for Mr. Lee, he was engrossed in playing and gambling, so that large amount of money did fly away.
But because of her own bloodline, even though Siyeon hates it, Siyeon still tries to take care of her father from time to time, especially financial matters, every time he calls her to invite her to Daegu to play, it's just like that, the purpose is to ask for money.
And every time Siyeon returned to Daegu, she saw Mr. Lee hanging out with different people. The money Siyeon gave Mr. Lee, not only to feed him, but also to support the woman he loved.
But this time, Mr. Lee announced he was getting a new wife, it was the first time Siyeon heard, and she was shocked.
Two days later, Siyeon returned to Daegu as scheduled, and met Mr. Lee and his new wife at home. The two of them stayed together, didn't get a wedding, just signed the paper.
Previously, when Mr. Lee had a lover, he guided them to this house a few times, but this time he brought a woman to live with him, to the house where her mother was here, she was hurt, pitied, not satisfied at all.
She wanted to be angry, she could be as angry as when she was a teenager, when her mother died, her father only grieved briefly, then went with the other women again, she got angry she cursed Mr. Lee a lot, she wanted to rush in and beat him, but over the years her stamina and acceptance grew, reaching a point where she could no longer be angry. She was so helpless about her father ...
The woman married Mr. Lee, 25 years younger than him, and 6 years older than Siyeon.
And should she call this person…. Ms? or Mom ??
Funny, Siyeon could not even approve of this marriage, she asked permission to refuse vocative, just a few years older than her, calling that woman sister is reasonable.
This time Siyeon came home, carrying a very thick money envelope, Mr. Lee had a very smiling face. And that woman, whose face did not show a smile, her face slumped, looked so cold, was she uncomfortable with Siyeon’s appearance?
- What's your name? - Siyeon asked with crossed arms while the woman was cooking something in the kitchen.
- Bora, Kim Bora.
