Looking up from the card, gangtae gulped and stared into blank space before immediately taking munyeong's hands, caressed it with his thumb and said,
"Munyeong ah, I can explai-"
"Go away."
She looked away. munyeong moved her hand swiftly from gangtae's embrace. Shocked, gangtae paused and panicked as to what to do next to calm her down. But he was in such a frantic that he could only utter a mere,
"Mwo?"
"I said...go away."
Munyeong replied coldly as she started folding her arms and walking away. Undeterred, gangtae followed in her footsteps as he tried to explain,
"Munyeong ah, I can tell you the truth. I seriously-"
Before gangtae could even finish what he was about to say, munyeong turned around swiftly and before he knew it, a sudden and unexpected lash was struck on him mercilessly. 
"STOP! JUST STOP. LEAVE ME ALONE. PLEASE. I BEG OF YOU. STOP. STOP."
Munyeong started screaming as her legs slowly succumbed to the floor and she let her body flow. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she buried her head in her arms. Whimpers could be heard as munyeong expressed her indescribable pain in a strong way. She didn't want to let it all out at that time. She didn't want to expose her weak side at such bad timings. She didn't want to see gangtae in pain again just by looking by her and yet...
Her body took control of her mind. And this time, it hit so hard she had absolutely no more control over it. Her body exploded with emotions flooding out like an endless stream, her worries, hopes and failures expected in the future laid before her. She knew that her mother would never let her go and she should've not listened to gangtae and yet she was so foolish to believe him. Munyeong's back unknowingly leaned against her bed as she cried and cried. With his heart aching at the sight of munyeong, gangtae's face twisted in a split second as his emotions and tears came crawling up to his throat. However, he held back his tears as he swallowed them and slowly dragged his feet out of the room. He bowed his head, trying his best not to even take a glance at her, or he knew he would break down there and then. He trudged his way towards the door and took a deep breath before finally deciding to pull it open. With his head still bowed down, gangtae closed the door. He had no idea what had gotten into him but he looked back in one last time at his girlfriend, future wife, future mom to his child sitting there, weeping in agony as he stood there, and he could only wander helplessly. He could not believe he was such a failure. Failing at being a good boyfriend. Failing at protecting her feelings. Failing to be a soon to be dad. Before he knew it, gangtae's knees bowed to the floor producing an audible "thud!" and the lump of tears in his throat finally broke free. Leaning against the door, gangtae shed pools of tears as his heart ached over and over again upon hearing munyeong's soft and helpless whimpers. He could not believe he had no idea how much munyeong feared her mother although she was in jail... And he failed to protect her.

"They are neglecting each other now."
"Good." 
I grinned as ok-ran reported to me what was happening. A sense of accomplishment waved through my body and before I knew it, I started laughing uncontrollably in satisfactory. Finally, I can break their relationship. 
"Next, kill the child."
I told ok-ran with a smirk. 
"But that would endanger munyeong-"
"Kill the child."
I cut in in the middle of ok-ran's speech as my head tilted to the right and I rolled my eyes before turning my head back to her. Facing her eye to eye, I squinted into her pupils as I emphasised,
"I. Want. The. Child. Killed. No matter what."
"And if munyeong dies?"
She asked, curious as to what I would reply.
Scoffing, I replied,
"I have my ways to save munyeong."
"Well why don't you just get rid of gangtae?"
Ok-ran asked as she folded her arms, looking down to me. Upon hearing ok-ran's response, the tip of my lips unknowingly slanted up high as dimples were imprinted on my face. Leaning towards the table, I gently placed my hands on the desk before raising an eyebrow and I said,
"Even if I get rid of gangtae, the child would be born. Definitely, the child will bear mixed genes from munyeong and gangtae. I only want my artpiece back. The artpiece that belongs to me. Munyeong. I will carve her back into shape as she becomes another image of me. And my legend will continue. The Do. Hui. Jae. Legend. "

"Munyeong ah."
Gangtae wiped his tears away as his palm laid on the door that got in the way between him and his lover. 
"Go away."
Munyeong replied, still sniffling. Taking a gulp, gangtae closed his eyes as he spoke, 
"I love you and I didn't lie to you. I just want to-"
"To what. Hide this from me forever? Keep this a secret? TRYING TO HIDE EVERYTHING FROM ME AND PRETEND THAT IT'S OKAY?! GANGTAE, I'VE ALWAYS NOT NEEDED YOU TO TELL ME EVERYTHING. BUT THIS. THIS IS HARMING OUR FUTURE. YOU SAW THE AMOUNT OF POWER MY MOTHER HELD RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. SHE IS MERCILESS. YOU SAID WE CAN GO THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. AS ONE. AND NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO HIDE IT FROM ME? WHAT DO YOU TREAT ME AS HUH? A FOOL?! I DON'T WANT OUR...I don't want our...our...I don't ever want our baby to have a childhood trauma knowing his grandmother is still alive and searching to murder him!"
After letting her true colours break free, munyeong's eyes were filled to the brim with tears and was on the brink of breaking down again. But instead of letting her tears flow, she clutched her chest tightly, squeezed it multiple times, and slowly tried her best to let her anger subside and her tears to disappear into thin air. However it was to no avail. Her tears brimmed back up again in a matter of seconds. She tried to get a hold of it but it denied access. The tears kept piling and piling onto each other as it climbed towards her eyes. She was on the brink of losing herself. Again. However, just then,
"When you can't control yourself, count to three."
The voice rang in her ears.
