"But then I discovered something shocking as I became part of Jang household. She... killed her younger twin sister and took the name Heejung. Jang Heejung and Kim Minji are friends but Minji wasn't aware that Heejung actually had an older twin sister. Minji wasn't convinced about how Heejung's murder case went cold and investigated for herself and most likely your older sister discovered the truth of Heejung's murder. Minji became a potential witness but Heein went to stop her by plotting road accident but intentional accident of your older sister. I was supposed to marry the original Heejung but since she's dead, their father decided to entrust his will to Heein."

Her eyes widened at this revelation. "Wh-What you said is true, right? Right?" She couldn't believe what she is hearing.

He nodded. "I was shocked too."

"O-Older sister..." She cried once again and he didn't like to see it.

He wiped her tears away. "Don't cry, we can't help things we can't and I think that's fine." He comforted her.

"I've already set the pieces into checkmate."

"What do you mean?" What he said puzzled her.

"I mean what I said. Trust me, Jiyeon."

"Don't tell me, you're—"

"If you already know, why ask?"

"But that's... cruel."

"You feel bad but deep inside you want to avenge, don't you?"

Headline: A six year old female child said to murder her own mother because of her mother's abuse.

"That's such an awful news. Six year old children nowadays are capable of killing?" She looked at what he was reading, a newspaper. "Don't you think so, Taehyung?"

"Yeah. I can't blame the child though if she's gone through the hellish abuse of her own mother. Her own mother deserves it." He nodded. "Are you finished studying, Sujeong?" He shifted the topic.

She nodded. "Yup! Let's go grab something to eat!"

Speaker: Jang Wonyoung

I stared at the clear blue sky. How peaceful it was unlike me who couldn't even clear my thoughts. How long was I been confined here?

Since I'm still a minor, I wasn't sent inside the prison but in rehabilitation area. These scary-looking adults asked me few questions. When they asked about my mother's murder, I denied murdering her which they said that I should just confess and my sentence in this facility would be shortened.

But of course, I still denied. Why would I admit when I'm not the one who murdered my mother? I kept saying it was my father who did the murder but no one believes in me.

It hurt like hell. I didn't know what exactly happened but all of what happened was pointed at me. They all bullied me with such harsh words that I was a murderer.

My father did all of this. Why would he kill mother? And why was I blamed to murder her when it was father?

"You'll understand it someday, Wonyoung."

What am I not understanding? Father killed mother. Father framed me for murdering mother.

That's what I understand. If this is what I understand... can I perhaps avenge myself and mother?
