jiwoo felt a sense of annoyance as hongjoong continued to lecture her on seonghwa's importance. she rolled her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh, her feelings of irritation growing stronger. her tone was dismissive and she spoke with an air of arrogance.

"look, i don't care about seonghwa. why should i? he's nothing to me. i don't even know why you're making such a big deal out of this," she snapped.

hongjoong was taken aback by jiwoo's words and the venom in her tone. despite his fury, he tried to keep his cool and remain calm.

"i understand that you may not perceive seonghwa as important to you, but he is very important to me," he said sternly. "if you don't care about him, then perhaps you care about our relationship as siblings? because i will not tolerate your continued lack of concern for his safety."

jiwoo felt her anger boil over once again and her tone became even more defiant.

"our relationship as siblings means nothing to me," jiwoo scoffed. "you always expect me to fall in line with your expectations and follow your rules. well, not this time. i don't care about seonghwa and i'm not going to help you find him."

hongjoong sighed and shook his head. he couldn't believe he was having this conversation with jiwoo. he felt frustrated and disappointed that she couldn't see the importance of helping their family.

jiwoo rolled her eyes and shrugged dismissively. "look, i really don't care if you're disappointed in me," she said. "i've listened to your lectures my entire life and i'm tired of them. you always act like you're better than me and that your word is law. well, not this time. i'm not going to help you find seonghwa, and that's final."

hongjoong was shocked by jiwoo's response. he had never seen her stand up to him like this before. he could feel his feelings of frustration and disappointment growing stronger.

he felt a sense of frustration boiling over as jiwoo continued to defy him. he had hoped to reach a compromise and get her cooperation to find seonghwa safely, but her stubbornness had made that impossible.

"if you won't help me find seonghwa, then I'm afraid I have no choice but to take drastic measures," hongjoong said.

"what do you mean?" jiwoo asked, a twinge of anxiety creeping into her voice.

"you'll just have to wait and see," hongjoong replied, his tone defiant as well.

jiwoo felt a flash of anxiety pass through her as she looked into hongjoong's expression, realizing that he was dead serious about taking action. she had never seen him so forceful or determined before. she felt a sense of uncertainty and fear wash over her as she imagined what he would do next.

"please, hongjoong," she said, her voice shaking slightly. "i'm sorry for defying you. let's just forget about this whole thing and move on, okay? surely there's no need for any drastic measures."

hongjoong hesitated for a moment, processing jiwoo's words. he felt a sense of uncertainty and unease wash over him as he considered her request. he had never seen jiwoo so vulnerable and helpless before.

"there's no need for drastic measures?" he asked, his tone still firm but with a hint of reluctance. "i just want to make sure that seonghwa is safe and this entire situation is resolved."

"i don't want to talk about it anymore," jiwoo said, her voice becoming more defensive once again.

"i'm done with this whole conversation."
