our secret (doshin)

Ch3

It was 9pm when Junghwan arrived home. What was greeted by the stern face of a woman in her forties. Even though he was prepared, he was still somewhat afraid.

I'm home, auntie.

- That's great, go up to your room and talk to me.

The woman huffed and walked towards the stairs, her voice filled with dissatisfaction.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, she's been fooled by me many times."

He reassured himself and followed the woman up to the room. Junghwan had lied to her many times to go to the mountain behind the school with Dohoon, but he had never come home as late as today, so she would definitely suspect him.

- Why are you showing your face now? Tell me right away. Don't tell me you're going to learn to play the piano. - Her sour tone echoed throughout the room, making people feel uncomfortable.

There's still a lot of work left over from the student council. I'll try to go over to the school to take care of it. You can ask your friends in the union. - This reason couldn't be more perfect. He asked a few classmates to testify for him.

The woman stared at Junghwan as if trying to find something unusual about him. With his extensive experience, he successfully maintained the face of a model student, without the slightest flaw. Looking bored, the woman continued speaking.

- Kid, you know you shouldn't lie to me, right?

"Found out something?!"

- I know, aunt.

Junghwan's voice was still steady, but chaos appeared in his heart, afraid that the woman had discovered something unusual. If this were to get out... I can't imagine what crazy actions she would commit.

- I will call to confirm with the school, don't let me find out about your deception, go back to your room, don't make any noise that will affect my Hyerin.

- Yes, auntie, please excuse me.

Junghwan returned to his own room, he sighed softly, at least he passed this test. The frequency of his lies increased, and the other woman also became more suspicious of him. Even though his reasons seemed perfect, his frequent absences made him suspicious of The constant made her suspicious. From now on, you have to be more active in the student council, score points with the principal and vice principal and your classmates. When she makes trouble, someone will talk on your behalf, so you can sneak out and play with her. God, I can.

In contrast to Kim Dohoon, Shin Junghwan is the president of the elite student council and the favorite of the school teachers. The Shin family belongs to a noble family in Korea, famous for its wealth since ancient times. Being in such a noble family, he has a different life from other classmates. Shin Junghwan is considered the next eldest son of the Shin family, carrying immense pressure. From a young age he had to attend classes for the aristocracy, where every gesture and action was taught. strict. Subjects like foreign languages, playing the piano, fencing... are mandatory for him, if he can't keep up, that's it failure of the entire family. Junghwan always completed his classes well and received the expectations of his family members. Mr. and Mrs. Shin were always proud of their young son's achievements. Although life is somewhat harsh, at least he is still pampered by his parents. Everything he wants, Mr. and Mrs. Shin give him. Junghwan has never complained about anything, he thinks that a family with three people is too happy.

The incident happened when Junghwan was in 6th grade. Mr. Shin discovered that his wife often left early and came home late at night and was no longer at home to take care of the family like before. He immediately hired a detective to follow Mrs. Shin. As a result, it was discovered that she met with a playboy at places where rich people often went to have fun. Right after that day, Mrs. Shin was kicked out of the house. She did not cry or ask for forgiveness but just left in silence. Mr. Shin leave in silence. Mr. Shin did not get angry or make a fuss, just gave her a divorce paper and asked her to move to live somewhere else. Everything happened quietly, without any noise or commotion, but it was enough to make Shin Junghwan collapse. A year later, Mr. Shin remarried another rich woman, who is now Junghwan's stepmother. He did not object, because he was no longer attached to his lying biological mother. What makes him hate this marriage is his half-sister - Shin Hyerin, who is only one year younger than him. Meaning, his father had been by this woman's side a long time before, and this younger sister was born a year after him, while this man already had a legal wife and a son. small. For the first time in his life, he did something that made Mr. Shin lose face, and he ruined his wedding with the woman. The punishment for this action is a severe beating and a year of detention. From then on, Junghwan did not dare to show any attitude towards Mr. Shin or his stepmother.

The stepmother doesn't like Junghwan, it's clear to everyone in the family, because he is her husband's stepson. Every time Mr. Shin was not present, she would constantly scold him and say demeaning words about him and his biological mother. He did not resist, the beating made him more alert, any act of resistance would have to pay the price. When he entered high school, his daily schedule became more and more dense, along with his stepmother's control, the more hatred arose in Junghwan's heart. Life is full of pressure and dissatisfaction, making him feel extremely frustrated.

Until the day he met Kim dohoon.

Thankyou so much 💞
