Black Pearl

Chapter 3

It was her. The bitch.

No, not even. She deserved something more. She deserved a title worse than bitch. Something that wasn't one word. 

"You, stay away from her." Jisoo grabbed my hand, pulling me towards the group. 

"Seolhyun? What are you doing here?" 

"Honey? Do..do you know who she is?" 

"Oh, I'm sorry. Where are my manners? I'm Kim Seolhyun. I'm Seoyoun's biological mother." I kept quiet.

"You're here because..?"

"So..I'm here to claim my daughter." She crossed her arms over her chest. I scoffed.

"What makes you think she's ever going back?" Miso unnie copied her actions.

"I'm her moth-"

"So called mother. Wench. Bitch. Cougar. Whore. Yea..that sounds right." Sohyun unnie glared at her.

"You know Sohyun, I'd never re-marry another man after my husband dies. Especially if he was your dad." I had to admit, she knew all the right buttons to push.

"Seolhyun, she's not going back." 

"What makes you say that? She was, and still is, my daughter. I loved her when she was born. I loved her, and I still do. Everything I did for her was because I love her."

"You threw me away!" I shrieked.

"Gave you away would be the right word."

"N-now you come back, saying you want to take me back? I-It just doesn't make sense. You gave me away and now you want me back?" She stepped towards me, but she couldn't touch me. Jisoo stopped her.

"If you're going to talk, talk there." 

"Ahn Sojin, let me ask you. Was Jonghyun an alcoholic when you met him?" She faced her now.

"Y..yes, he was. He changed though. He stopped." 

"Well then..let me ask you this..do you know how painful it is? How much the pain is to give my own daughter away after being forced back to the world? Our world? DO YOU?!" She grabbed her collar with tears trickling.

"Please, Seolhyun-ssi, I would appreciate it if you take your hands off of her. I'll call an ambulance to check if you're-"

"You know nothing." I spoke up.

"Seoyoun?"

"You don't know..you don't know how it feels to be taken away from your own mother, to be introduced to another woman. You don't know how it feels being lied to. You don't know how it feels to witness the scene of your own father..being torn, ripped apart, by you creatures. Most importantly, you don't know how it feels to carry the burden, the pain, the horror.."
