Sometimes, people needs to lie. Lie for their own sake or lie to protect something and to protect someone. Lying isn't really rare, it is the common thing people usually do. People lies to get what they desired, neglecting the consequences of their selfish act. However, lying could also help us make things easier.
Ryujin lied to protect his brother and shelter him from the pain. She did that because she doesn't want Beomgyu to feel the same pain she burdened inside of her. She lied for the sake of his brother's feelings. Call her selfish for bottling all the truths, but she did that for Beomgyu. She doesn't want Beomgyu hurt.
So she relied to Taehyun. The man who she didn't expect that would break the thick walls that were preventing her from speaking the truth. The same man who promised to their family that he will make Beomgyu happy. It was really unexpected for Taehyun to end up with Beomgyu. None of them was expecting that the 'pretending' would soon turn into 'reality'. From the first day he saw Taehyun, Ryujin sweared that this guy, Kang Taehyun, will be the future partner of his brother. And somehow, that happened.
She kept hoping for Beomgyu and Taehyun to develop their feelings for each other. Nothing can compare Taehyun's charms & traits. He's different, Ryujin can say. She met Heeseung before but she knows something's wrong with that idiot. Taehyun, although his appearance looks dangerous & untidy because of his wild tattoos, is gentle and caring in the inside. She can say that Taehyun is the perfect definition of the quote, 'Don't judge a book by it's cover' and if Beomgyu heard that, he would agree.
Ryujin is really happy for his brother and she anticipates the awaited wedding of the two.
"Mom. Taehyun already knows about your condition. The Leukemia." Ryujin admitted. Eujin stopped cutting the apples and turned around to see her daughter, hoping that she's pranking. However, Ryujin's face says truth. "I'm no kidding here, Mom, Taehyun was a professional to find out what's going on." A glimpse of nervous written in Eujin's eyes.
"Does...Beomgyu know?" Eujin asked, feeling her concern arising inside of her. Ryujin's lips formed a thin line and shook her head. "I told Taehyun that... he should be the one who will tell Beomgyu about this. I don't think myself will be able to confess without feeling guilty." Even if she's not facing Beomgyu, the feeling called 'guilty' is still hitting her.
She is so guilty. Gulity for lying. Guilty for overprotecting. Guilty for being selfish. Guilty from everything that she kept from Beomgyu. "Guilty? Guilty for what?" Eujin asked. Ryujin looked down, guilty of everything.
"Are you guilty because you didn't tell your brother about my situation?" Ryujin breathed out a shaky sigh. Eujin reacted a small smile, "But I don't think you should feel guilty about it. I know, you wanted to bottle all of the truth because you wanted Beomgyu to not feel the pain that I gave you and your father—"
"Mom—you're not giving us a hard time–"
"Shh. Let me speak. I'm sorry for living with this disease. Because of me, you weren't able to live a normal and peaceful life like anyone and everyone deserves. Your Mom does not know that she's not going to last long so she chose to be a hard-headed and committed a worst condition instead. I was very desperate to be with your father–"Ryujin lifted her head from the sudden mention of his father. "–and the way I love Dooyoung resulted me to have this worst disease. This was healed. Many of my family members thought that I survived this disease, however they kept putting me in my room and prohibiting me to go out. I hate staying inside. I want to go out. I'm just like a normal teenager who wants to spend her day with someone she loves."
