The Path I Choose To Take

Prologue

There were plenty of turning points in Eun Byeol's life. When Shim Su Ryeon first declared war, the Hera Club is not spared from her wrath. However, her passing barely silenced the volatile events that was yet to come.

She was singing as usual with Ma Doo Ki. The event was grand. There were white flowers everywhere. Although smiling, she shared Seok Kyung's smug which is right there in the open. Seok Hoon is always calm though Eun Byeol knows deep down, he is seething with rage at this whole affair and she couldn't blame him. The idea of Seok Hoon and Seok Kyung as siblings is preposterous. She wanted to have Seok Hoon as her boyfriend, not brother. Yoo Jenny and Min Hyuk, however are already enjoying the food. Of course, they could barely be bothered by this whole affair thing.

Joo Dan Tae exchanged a cheek kiss with Eun Byeol, who is trying hard not to cringe. Her mother did the same to the Joo twins though there was zero affection emanating from both sides. 

When things are just about to get normal and miserable, the next thing that happened turned things into extraordinary and more miserable. When she and the others heard the slicing of the chopper's wings in the air, a strong gust of wind blew them all off. The scenario is so comedic that Eun Byeol could wish the speakers would play the song 'Non je ne regriette rien'.

But that was the only thing she could laugh on for when the doors opened, out came her father in a velvet suit that new money people wear and some lady with long red hair and pink coat.

"Congratulations, Joo Dan Tae," he said in a victorious, mocking tone. "Allow me to introduce to you my wife." Wife? Does that mean stepmom? What? The lady took off her Dolce and Gabbana glasses to reveal a familiar face: Oh Yoon Hee.

Eun Byeol could hear gasps. She, herself could only stand there, stunned, in so much disbelief. Kang Ma Ri could not believe her ears. "I'm sorry. Wife? Are my ears deceiving me?"

Eun Byeol wished her ears were playing games with her but, sadly her father was not. "Yes, you heard it right. My wife."

Eun Byeol's jaws tightened uncontrollably. Now there family is really broken to the point of no return. Is this really it? Not only is she siblings with Seok Kyung and Seok Hoon but also Bae Ro Na? Her eyes were already watery and red and the tensions of her facial muscles reflected a strong desire for this to be just a dream...but its not.

Seized with revulsion at everything, Eun Byeol pulled the ends of the tablecloth to let the cake fall on the floor before stomping away, shocking the guests. She heard Seok Kyung say. "For once, I agree with Eun Byeol on something." Grabbing the glass of water, she spilled it on Yoon Hee's face. Eun Byeol wished she could have done the same thing. She wanted to but she remembered her father.

Wiping the tears, Eun Byeol left the grounds completely. Wedding engagement party be damned! She isn't smiling for anyone anymore.
