"What are you two doing here?" Byeol shifted weights from one foot to the other nervously as the colour of her face drained away

"What are you two doing here?" Byeol shifted weights from one foot to the other nervously as the colour of her face drained away.

"Byeol... Oh my god... How are you?" cried the man.

"Don't act like you actually care for me. Come out of your snake skins and tell me what job do you have here? Don't avoid the topic by showing your fake emotional side."sneered the girl as she closed her eyes, leaving shaky breaths from her mouth. Tears pricked her eyes but she didn't let them fall. They didn't deserve being cried over.

"What's going on? Who are these people?" Beomgyu gave a puzzled look to everyone. No one had noticed when he had entered the scene quietly.

"Just two freaking irresponsible humans who gave birth to me." deadpanned Byeol making the others gasp at her choice of words.

"Honey, I know that we are at fault but why not start over,huh? We were young and were requested to serve in the government services. Please don't do this us."begged the mother as she wiped her eyes slowly.

"Wow... First you abandoned me without an explanation and now you expect me to regret something which I haven't done and follow you around. People aren't apologetic and that's what I hate the most. I survived all by myself, god knows how! Worked while being a student and had barely anything to eat and wear!"

"I understand where you are coming from but do think of us too. We are old and have nowhere to go! We... We had to respond to the government's orders and had no choice but to leave you. You were old enough to look after yourself."

"Sure... But you had to kick me out of my own home for that when it was not even sold away. You treated me like a parasite!"

"Byeol, listen..."

"I am done with this drama. We need to get going. I have picked out everything we need. Let's go back." Byeol turned towards her teammates with a strong will. She had no affection left for them and it was not like she had been treated like a princess before being kicked out.
