The Liar And Her Love

chapter 29:

Aug'24
Taeri

My dad killed himself before I could. He drank, drank and drank, eventually he was so drunk he had an alcohol overdose.

I'm just happy, I didn't have to get blood on my hands again.

Currently we were at the funeral. I couldn't care less about my asshole parents. Black hanbok, the yellow stripped sleave, a little white bow.

People felt bad about us and talked about how great my father was to follow my mom to her death bed.

I hate humans so much. Ryan was saved, his body was weak and hence he was sleeping on ven's lap in the next room.

Then I saw jungkook's father enter. He looked at me, instead of bowing to my parents he came and hugged me.

"Sweet little child, you are so young" he said and hugged me.

I was barely holding tears. The woman who abused me for years was dead, the family I hated for years was dead, why do I feel a loss then.

I hate my mother and I hate myself even more for missing her.

I feel hatred and I feel happy.

"You are not just like my daughter. You are my daughter. Do not ever feel you cannot call me for anything." He said and I nodded.

I saw ven's step mom and father enter too. They looked at me.

So hee unnie came to me and hugged as uncle Jeon backed off "You didn't lose anything, We are family too. Call me sister, mom whatever you wish. You have a huge family" I had a bittersweet smile as I nodded.

"Ri" jungkook called me by my nickname as he entered the section.

He looked around and back at me. "Your aunts are discussing with whom Ryan will stay. They are talking about guardianship" He said and I looked up.

Now with rage.

I cut through the area and walked towards the place they were discussing our fate.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

Some random relatives gathered here to discuss my fate? Bullshit.

"Oh Taeri? Honey you are young we were just talking about who of us would take care of Ryan" she said.

Oh no.
I'm not letting any of them take Ryan from me. He is not going to suffer because of their greed.

They didn't bother checking on us until our parents died, they didn't speak to me even once. They did not help with anything and are here because one of us is still a lottery for them?

"I'm 19 as of international age, a 20 year old adult with Korean citizenship. I am Ryan's guardian. Thank you for your concern but Seo Ryan is going to be raised by me, Seo Taeri" I said and there were gasps.

I said what I said.

My eyes fell on the two people who just entered, one in black joggers other in a suit.

Jiha and Jimin.

Jimin? What was he doing here? I looked away from him. I heard he got into med school and is still dating Nari.
