"There's one way humans are born, but there are countless ways to die"
Author's Pov:
Grandpa: Then listen closely, Y/n. Your mother.....chose love over duty. She defied tradition, married a man of her own choosing. I was disappointed, yes. But love has its own reckoning.
Y/n: It's not a sin to fall in love, you loved your daughter, you should have also loved and respected her decision.
Grandpa: Your father, was a remarkable man. She loved him deeply. But their love was forbidden.
Y/n: Forbidden? Why?
Grandpa: Because.... your father was an orphan, and came from a place where our customs and traditions held no sway, he had no lineage, no ancestral ties. But I also knew the weight of tradition-the expectations placed upon us. I tried to convince her to choose duty over love, to marry within our community. But she was stubborn.
Y/n: But she was still your daughter... and why was it forbidden?
Grandpa: Because tradition dictated that marriages be arranged within our community. Your mother's union with your father threatened the very fabric of our customs. And then...Your mother became pregnant, at a time when your uncle's marriage was already arranged. The village elders were scandalized. They feared the wrath of our ancestors.
Your heart clenched as grandfather's words hung in the air. The room felt colder, the past unraveling before you like an old, forgotten tapestry. You had always sensed the weight of secrets in your family, but now they threatened to consume you.
Grandpa: We disapproved, especially your grandmother. She believed in upholding our heritage, preserving our way of life. Your mother's decision was a betrayal in her eyes. And at last Hey-jin choose love and left everything behind to spend the rest of her life with your father.
Y/n: You know why I'm here?
Grandpa: ..... Why?
Y/n: My mother never talked ill about you or your family, she always loved you and will, even after what you did to her. But I'm here to tell you that your daughter and son-in-law you hated the most are no more, they died a week ago in a bus accident.
