When his parents forcefully try to marry him off to their friend's daughter, he refuses.
"I don't love her," he says firmly.
But his mother only smiles
"No problem. People can fall in love after marriage too."
He's left speechless - and furious.
But...
Everyone started having their breakfast, but Emma was not calm. The earlier incident had made her so furious that she was thinking of various ways to take her revenge.
“Let’s give them a light dose first,” Emma thought.

BREAKFAST ~

Tasty salad, avocado toast, sandwiches, and pancakes were served on the table, along with a glass of coconut water.
“Taebear, can you pass me the sandwiches?” Emma said out of the blue. He wanted to avoid any type of drama, so he quietly gave her the sandwiches.
After five minutes, she hadn’t even finished her meal but started again — “Taebear, pass me the salad, please.”
“It’s placed here also, Emma — just beside you. Have it,” Mr. Kim said, pointing toward the salad bowl near her.
“No, uncle, I want that salad.” She pointed toward the salad bowl that was placed between Y/N and Taehyung, as there were two bowls on the table.
“It’s the same; nothing is different,” Mrs. Kim said. “This bowl is finished… just take that one,” Taehyung said, pointing toward the other bowl.
“In that case, can you give me yours, Taebear? Remember we used to share food in childhood? Please give me the one on your plate.”
“Just shut up, Emma, and concentrate on your food. I have to go to the office,” he said in frustration because he had a meeting lined up in a few hours.
Emma’s hands started shivering; the spoon in her grip fell to the ground, making a noise.
“I’m sorry, guys… it was by mistake,” Emma said. “What happened, Emma?” Mr. Kim asked.
“You know, uncle, some months ago I went through a viral fever. It was so bad that I couldn’t even lift a finger from the bed. Still now, it has side effects… my hands start shivering randomly,” she said in a low tone.
“But that usually happens in old age,” Mrs. Kim said. “You should go to some hospital rather than staying here in this mansion,” Y/N said. She had been quiet for a long time, enduring Emma’s drama — but not anymore.
“How can you say that to me?” Emma said in a slightly high tone. “With my mouth,” Y/N said, shrugging her shoulders. Then she continued, “I’m not wrong. It’s just that I’m worried for you. And I don’t think I said something so bad that it should trigger you.”
Emma ignored Y/N’s words and said, “Taebear, can you please feed me? Please, please, please,” she added, doing puppy eyes.
She had observed that whenever Y/N wanted something, she did this — and Taehyung always agreed without a second thought. So Emma tried to copy her to get his attention.
