The atmosphere in Jang Wonyoung's room was heavy with concern. Her mother sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her daughter's hair.

"Wony... please, you can't keep going on like this," her mother said softly. "It's been almost a month now. You're worrying Mummy so much, dear."

Her older sister nodded in agreement, voice firm yet caring. "Yeah, Wony. You can't stay locked away forever. Move on. He cheated on you—multiple times. Open your eyes. You deserve someone so much better."

"Right, please, dear… don't do this to yourself," her mother added, eyes glistening.

Wonyoung's voice came out small and broken. "No… I… I love him…"

Her sister sighed. "Does he love you back? No, right? If he truly did, he wouldn't have hurt you like this."

"But I—"

"Shhh, enough, okay?" Her sister pulled her into a warm embrace. "Come here, my baby."

A knock on the door interrupted them. The sister rose and opened it, revealing their father standing there with a stern expression.

"What's wrong now, Jang Wonyoung? Why are you crying again?"

"She saw Sunghoon kissing another girl… and this time—"

"Enough." The father's voice cut through sharply. "How many times do I have to tell you, Jang Wonyoung? Get to know my friend's son. But you're always so stubborn. And now look what's happened. How many times has that boy cheated on you? Starting today, you listen to Daddy. Understood?"

Wonyoung shook her head weakly. "No… I don't want to…"

"It's already been a **month**, Jang Wonyoung. A whole month of you crying, refusing to leave this room. Listen to me now. No buts. Full stop."

"No!"

"You have no other choice. Think wisely."

"Yeobo, she—"

"No. This time she listens. I've given that brat too many chances. Look what he's done to our daughter! He even hit her, Jang Wonyoung! Slapped you! Really? That's the kind of person you want? It makes me sick. He abused you. Can't you see it? The old scars haven't even healed properly, and you want more? Enough is enough. And don't forget the day you caught him in bed with another woman. Come on, Wonyoung—pull yourself together!"

"Daddy! No! I don't want to meet someone new!"

"Fine then. Do whatever you want—on the condition that you leave this house. Think carefully." With that, he turned and left the room.

Her mother called after him in shock, but the sister quickly spoke up. "Mummy, never mind. Go talk to Daddy. I'll stay with Wony."

"Alright… thank you, da-ah. Wony, wait here. I'll be right back."

The sister tightened her hold around Wonyoung. "Don't cry, Wony. There must be a reason Daddy said that. I know he doesn't really mean for you to leave—he just hates seeing you like this. He wants the best for his precious daughter. This is your moment to be strong and move on. You can live happily without him. Daddy's already found someone who will take care of you. I believe the new guy will love you endlessly. But you have to at least try. How long do you want to live like this? Until when? So… hear me out. Just try, okay? Unnie will always be here for you, my little sister. I love you so much. I can't bear seeing my little girl sad. Try, alright?"
