Chapter 6

The following evening, Seok-kyung chose the song "Frühlingsstimmen" after much deliberation.
Entering the music room, she practiced for 2 hours until Soo Ryong came in, forcing her to stop and look at herself

-Seok Kyung, you've already practiced enough, it's time to finish. You can't sing like that without interruptions, you might break your voice...-, Soo Ryong said turning off the song that was playing.

-Don't want. Do you want Rona to win too? Do not be this. Leave me alone.-, Seok Kyung replied looking at her with anger.

-Seok Kyung you...

-Leave her alone. Let him do what he wants. Don't bother her if she wants it-, Soo Ryong's words interrupted those of Dan Te who was standing near the door. Seok-kyung looked at her mother first, then at her father, then took the phone from the table and left the room. Dan Te followed her. Then Seok Hoon appeared in the room, he approached his mother and attracted her attention

-What is wrong? Seok Kyung came out

-Seok Hoon, I think Seok Kyung is being pressured by Dan Tae. Can you talk to her and find out? I'm worried that Dan Tae is putting pressure on Seok Kyung

-Okay, don't worry, I'll try to talk to her....

~~~

Seok Hoon was looking for Seok Kyung after talking with his mom and found her in the your room. She sat on the phone and ate an apple. He walked over to her and sat down next to her making her turn to him.

-What do you want?-, she asked, putting down her phone

-Seok Kyung, let's talk.

-About what? Don't delay

-Seok-kyung's father pressures you? He asked you to win a trophy?

-What are you talking about? There is no such thing

-Seok-kyung, I see it. Please be honest and tell me, I will support you...

-I don't need your support for a long time. And even if dad puts pressure on me, what can you do? Nothing. So don't even try to do something. I hate that you pretend to care about me.-, after saying that, she got up and left. Now Seok Hoon was sure that she was doing all this because of her father's pressure

~2 days later~
~Cheong School~

Standing in front of the trophy in the large hallway at the entrance, Joo Seok Kyung looked at the trophy. There was only one thought in Seok Kyung's head

•••

"You know what the punishment for disobedience is!"

" You promised not to hit her! Hit me if you want! "

"If you want it, I'll do it. Since Seok-kyung backed down, it would be good if her brother paid for her... "

•••

"Dad no! Seok Kyung can't go abroad alone, she won't survive there, how can she even if she's afraid of thunder?

" Therefore, I separate you two from Seok-kyung! You keep disappointing me because of Seok Kyung! You are not Joo Seok Kyung's brother! You are Joo Dan Te's son!"

•••

"From now on, if you hurt Seok Kyung, I will not be Joo Dan Tae's son, but Joo Seok Kyung's older brother"

•••

Remembering the moment when his brother always stood up for his younger sister, solitary tears rolled from Seok Kyung's eyes.
