"What do you need Yerim?" the old man hear the opening of the door on his private office making him glance who just entered the room, seeing the girl with purple hair on her uniform.
"Papa I've heard you're running for governor?"
The old man just stared at Yerim, waiting for her to continued what she wants to say.
"Papa I want to help"
"and how will you help?"
Now it's Yerim to turn silent, she really didn't think of it, she just want to help his dad, she just want him to finally acknowledge her.
"I- I don't know Papa but if you need someone in the –"
"Get out"
"Papa–"
"I said get out, Yerim" the old man said sternly , Yerim still want to say something, she can't let it be like this, she wants to prove that she can help in their family, but at the end Yerim just bowed her head and silently walk out of the room.
–
"The old man sent you away again right?" dark haired girl named Olivia said as soon as Yerim entered her room.
"I don't know what's wrong? I just wanted help you know? I want to prove that I'm not useless in this family" she said as she lay on the dark fluffy bed, the room is actually dark with only a dim light on the side and the light coming thru the computer which Olivia – her sibling is sitting in front of.
"You're not useless bitch, you know who's useless? that ugly old man fart"
"Don't talk like that to our father Olivia"
"But that piece of shit is continuosly treating us like shit, like we are not his daughter, as if it's our fault that his fvcking balls can't produce a male son for him – Fucking shit!"
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Ugghh nothing, I just lost, this Nana is not leaving me for days, arrrgh this bitch" Olivia already leave her computer and joined Yerim on her bed, only for them to suddenly hear knockings on the door.
Yerim is the one who stand up and opened the door only to see her other sibling Hyunjin, with bruise all over her face.
"What happened to you?!"
"Yerim treat me first please – ouch!" the girl flinch as Yerim accidentally touch the bruise on her wrist.
Yerim opened the lights and proceed on treating Hyunjin's wounds which they don't know where it came from, But it's nothing new for them, almost twice in a week it's always been like this, Hyunjin knocking in either Olivia or Yerim's room in the middle of the night with bruise all other her body
"The fvck? where have you been Hyunjin?!" Olivia exclaimed
"Damn Olivia fvcking get slow with that filthy mouth of yours–"
"You got fvcking filthy mouth too and even face"
"Well listen here you piece of –"
"Stop!" Yerim shouted, she's getting head ache with all the chaos in the room, she really just want to vent out or something since she really felt bad earlier but her siblings are just making her feel worse,
"Hey what's wrong Yerim?" Hyunjin already asked since she notice that there's something wrong with Yerim's eyes, it's usually bright and shining like sun but now it's like cloud is covering the sun.
"She came to Papa and guess what?" Olivia said
"He just ignored her and told her to leave." Hyunjin said still looking at Yerim's eye, They already know this, that their father is just ignoring them, the two, Olivia and Hyunjin already gave up a long time ago impressing the old man since they've already know that their efforts will not be appreciated, but it's opposite to Choerry, being the bright one in the three of them, she's not giving up she wants to prove to her dad that they can help him, that he should not be dissapointed having three daughters even though he wants sons.
" There's nothing wrong with you Yerim, It's his own issues," Hyunjin said assuringly to her sibling
" But I want to help, I know we can still get close to him, We are his daughters right?"
Hyunjin look at Yerim's eye and there she saw hope, desperation, sadness and many more dull emotions, she also spare glance at Olivia who's giving a look that's like saying "we can't stop her" and then she returned her eyes on Yerim and heaved a big sigh
"Well I think I know how you can help" she may not fully agree to this situation but like how Yerim wants to help their father, Hyunjin also wants to see Yerim happy and help her.
"But it's dangerous, so I want you to think of it carefully, Yerim"
"You know father's opponent? Mr. Lee?" Hyunjin continued
"I don't like where you're going if its getting Yerim involve with Hae–"
"Big families especially in the politics like us have skeletons in closets"
" and you can get those skeletons by the youngest Lee... Lee Haechan"
The room fell silent, Yerim slowly digesting what Hyunjin told her, Olivia getting shock, and Hyunjin just intently looking at Yerim's eye, and it was Olivia who broke the silence
"That's fvcking dumb, Yerim look at me"
"You will not do what this dumbass just said, okay?"
"I didn't told her to do it, I just gave ideas how she can help" Hyunjin exclaimed
" Yes? like what? her getting involved with The Sun? you're putting her on danger here Hyunjin!"
"I'm not?! I'm telling her to think about this carefully and it's not like I'm just gonna let her alone if ever she decided–"
"She decided what? risk her life just for that old man to get what he wants?! The Lee got some serious dirt Hyunjin, It's dangerous."
"It's Haechan we are talking about, Olivia, Yerim will not be in danger"
"Bitch do you here what you're saying? How the fuck are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I just fucking know"
"Hey you two shut it already, Let's sleep already, I'm done cleaning your wounds Hyunjin" Yerim said, after she returned the first aid kit, she turned off the lights and dragged her two siblings on the bed.
