Hated you for a while

2. Argument

After completing my work at about 8 p.m., I packed up my stuff and went to the 9th floor. I entered the huge room and heard him say, "Don't worry, I'm here for you... Take care... It's not your fault, it was her choice... Go home now and don't stress yourself."

I cleared my throat and said, "I believe I have arrived at the wrong moment, overhearing your conversation." As I was about to leave, he asked in a stern voice, "I know you don't mean a single word you said, so tell me why you're here?"

"I was about to head out, and then I decided to ask you to drop me home. Can you do that?"

I questioned him.

"Sure," he agreed, "I'll drop you, only if you have a discussion with with."

I confidently agreed, and soon enough, we were in his car.

Tae:- To start with, are you sure that you are currently stable enough to take on this responsibility? Are you confident that you will be able to manage the company after working here?

Rosé: Yes, I'm completely confident that I can handle it. Plus, I have my stepsister for support and you are also there.

Tae: Yeah, that's true. By the way, when did you and your step-sister start getting along?

Rosé: Since that day, she was the only one who understood me at that moment.

Tae: What about your mother and father?

Rosé: First of all, he's my stepfather, and the thing is that I don't care about them. Mother planned to bring that family into the picture and cause all that trouble.

Tae: It was your father's wish; you know it and your brother also approved it. You just can't blame her.

Rosé: I can't believe my dad and my brother wanted all this and chose him for me. It's just so hard to accept.

Tae: Coming to him, do you want---

Before he could say anything, I cut him off by saying that we have arrived and told him to stop the car.

Rosé: Thanks for the ride.

I said and quickly got out of the car.

Tae mutters, "I know you still haven't completely moved on. Just take care," as he drives home.

Rosé

I can't believe it, but I absolutely hate it when he is brought up in my conversations.

Well, forget about it.

I entered the mansion when I heard Jisoo's father shouting,

"You have a choice either to accept him, or just get yourself a boyfriend and leave this place as soon as possible."

I think he was yelling at Jisoo unnie. Then I heard mother's voice say, "Jisoo, just say yes and finish it. You aren't even worth a penny to us, just useless."

I walked into the dining room and saw Jisoo quietly eating. She didn't even flinch when her father approached and slapped her harshly stating, "How dare you ignore us? You better tell me what I should do with you!"

I saw Jisoo's cheek blood-red, with no emotions in her eyes.

"Why are you hitting her? Can't you show mercy to your own daughter?"

I said with anger.

"You don't need to speak, I know how to handle my daughter, don't try to teach me. We are just discussing her marriage, so this topic does not concern you, as you ruined your relationship and took away our golden opportunity."

I ignored him and went to unnie, but she ran to her room, and I followed her buts she was quick to get inside her room, so I thought to talk to her later.

At 9

I finished up my night routine and went to check on unnie.

I was about to knock on her door when she opened it and quickly pulled me inside.

She led me to the balcony and asked me to sit on the chair there. Her eyes were red, and she seemed like she had been crying.

Rosé: Are you okay, unnie? Why did he slap you so hard?

I asked her with a concerned look while caressing her cheek.

Jisoo: It's just that he wants me to get married and leave this place. He arranged for me to be a stupid man, I denied it so he slapped me and also because I didn't respond to him.

She replied blankly

Rosé: Oh, but he said it's okay if you have a boyfriend, unnie.

Jisoo: I know

Rosé: They are ready to let you marry your boyfriend if you have one. Do you have one?

Jisoo: Um, well, yes I do.

Rosé: Then, what is your problem, unnie? Just marry your boyfriend and leave this hell.

Jisoo: I don't want to leave you alone with those people.

Rosé: Don't worry about me, unnie. I'll be fine.

Jisoo: No, you won't. I know you will not b--

I cut her off and asked her about her boyfriend.

Rosé: Please tell me about him, unnie. I want to know who is going to give me a beautiful and handsome niece or nephew.

Jisoo: Stay quiet!

Rosé: Okay, fine at least I am familiar with him.

Jisoo: Yes, you do. Now please leave.

She kind of blushed and pushed me out of the room.

My room

I was lying on my bed, thinking about Jisoo unnie. If she had told them about her boyfriend, she would have been freed from this hell and could have a happy life.

I trusted Jisoo unnie's boyfriend even before meeting him because I knew she wouldn't choose someone worthless. I hope he treats her like a queen.

Lost in these thoughts, I fell asleep, hoping that everything would be okay.
