3rd Person POV ~

The Shin family are currently eating at their dining table. The atmosphere is rather tense, typical when both Shin parents are present. The two daughters are munching their food silently beside each other, while their mother is sat across the two, with their father at the end of the table beside Ryujin. the only sounds present is the from the cutleries against the dining plates, foot occasionally tapping against the marbled floor of the Shin residence. 

"Ryujin" Ryujin catches that his voice is stern.

"Yes father"

"I heard you've entered the dance club?" Ryujin hesitantly nodded, although she thought of lying for a second but immediately dismisses that thought.

"Resign, I have no intentions for you to take that direction" 

Ryujin's eye widened as she quickly lifts and turns her head facing her father.

"But-" Ryujin wasn't able to finish when she heard her father dropping his cutlery on his plate making a rather loud clanging noise audible enough to be heard throughout the whole dining room. Ryujin flinched upon hearing the noise, and can only look at her plate. Her lips pressed to a thin line. 

"I'll inform Yeji tomorrow that i'll be- resigning" Yuna looks at Ryujin, immediately noticing her teary eyes, however, there's little that she can do while her father is present. Although Yuna has got the same strict treatment by her father, she has never done something that would trigger her father. 

"And after you resign, I'm assigning you for a piano course. 3 times a week after school" 

"Father! My schedule is already jam packed with those violin and painting courses!" 

"And yet you still decided to enter that dance club!? I wasn't planning to! Yet when you decided to enter that club, that concludes you still have plenty of spare time!" Ryujin's father screamed back. Ryujin's tears are now flowing one by one down her cheeks, she couldn't imagine doing one more thing she never desired to do. Ryujin pushed her chair back, and was about to dash towards her room when her father grabbed her by her wrist. Her father raised his voice even more "Where do you think you're going!?"

Ryujin turned around, tears are now flowing like a tap of water.

"F- father! I am your daughter! I'm SHIN Ryujin! Not a piece of puppet or a doll! I have my own intentions and desires!" Ryujin somehow choked her words out in between her sobbing, she kneeled down, her wrist still in her father's hands "P- please, STOP CONTRO-" A loud slap was heard as Ryujin was pulled up. Yuna is now hugging Ryujin by her side, her hands were also trembling, and water is piling in her eyes also. Ryujin held her cheek, stinging red from the slap. Her father was about to give another full force slap when his hands were held by their mother, Yuna held Ryujin more tightly, expecting the oncoming hit.

"That's enough! You've done enough." Their mother sternly said.

Ryujin kept her eyes low, looking at both her parent's feet. 

"And for you Ryujin, I hope you learn from this, do not talk back to your parents" Ryujin looked at her mother,

"Parents?? You've never given us a care that parents should have given! I'm starting to wonder if you are my re-"

"UNNIE!" Ryujin was cutted by Yuna now sobbing and holding Ryujin tighter. She wouldn't want Ryujin to get another hurtful hit. The two then went back towards their shared room. The room was dimly lit, and was rather cold from the air conditioner. They are hugging each other tightly on the bed, as the sobbing is beginning to subside.
