Chapter 5

Taeyeon turned around to look at her daughter and said, "Yes, why didn't you tell Seulgi?". "Seul, I am not worth beating someone up for. Plus I wanted to get away from him as soon as possible." Irene said. By now all Irene's jealousy and anger for Seulgi and Jungkook had been replaced by fear.

"I....I felt myself getting vulnerable...he reminded me too much of Jungmin when he did that." Irene said. Taeyeon froze. "Jungmin? Isn't he your father, Irene?" Tiffany asked. "By law yes, but we don't consider him to be Irene's father. I'll explain when we get home." Taeyeon said. Tiffany nodded.

"Irene, everything is going to be okay. He isn't coming back, and if he does, this time we will be here to protect you." Taeyeon said. Irene nodded and put her face in her hands. Seulgi tried to comfort Irene but Irene didn't want to tell her what had happened.

After a few minutes later, they arrived at Taeyeon's house. They got out of the car. Irene immediately went to Taeyeon and clung to her arm. They went inside the house and Taeyeon and Tiffany looked at Seulgi and Irene.

"Girls, Taeyeon needs to tell me something so could you 2 please wait in Irene's room." Tiffany said. "Please can you tell her later Taeyeon eomma, I'm really scared." Irene said. "Okay, Irene, you come with us. Seulgi, you can wait in Irene's room, you know where it is." Taeyeon said. "But what about Irene, I'm worried about her." Seulgi said. "Seul, please don't argue." Tiffany said.

Seulgi sighed and turned to go to Irene's room. Taeyeon, Tiffany and Irene went to the living room and sat down, Irene between Taeyeon and Tiffany. "So Irene, why are you so scared? Is everything okay?" Tiffany asked, putting an arm around Irene as best she could because Taeyeon was also hugging Irene.

"I...what that guy did reminded me of how controlling Jungmin became when he wanted to do things to me." Irene said softly. "What do you mean?" Tiffany asked as she shot a worried look at Taeyeon. "Jungmin...r...raped me." Irene said. "W...what? I'm so sorry Irene.....we are here now Irene....He isn't coming back, and if he does, we will protect you." Tiffany said, trying not to cry after hearing what happened. Taeyeon tensed up and felt the anger for her sister that she had bottled up for so many years. She stood up. "I can't fucking take this anymore." Taeyeon said.

Tiffany hugged Irene tightly because she knew exactly what Taeyeon was going to say, and she knew she couldn't stop Taeyeon. "TaeTae, no. Please don't. Irene is here." Tiffany said, in an attempt to pull Taeyeon out of her rage. "What are you talking about mom?" Irene said. "This is all Jungah's fault." Taeyeon said.

"This is all Jungah's fault." Taeyeon said "If she had just been a responsible mother, neither me nor her daughter would have to live in fear. I took Irene in as my own and that's gotten me to the point where both she and I live in fear. I was forced to marry her boyfriend and he ended up raping their daughter because she had run away, which caused him to hate Irene-"

"What do you mean 'her daughter'? Am I her child?" Irene said. She had also stood up and was looking from Tiffany to Taeyeon. Taeyeon, who seemed to be coming back to her senses, stayed quiet. "Answer me. Have you been lying to me all these years?" Irene asked angrily.

"Irene, l...let Taeyeon explain....we're sorry." Tiffany said. "I'll take that as a yes then. And I thought I could trust you, Taeyeon. I thought you were the only person who truly cared. Well, I guess not." Irene said. "Irene honey.....Joohyun...please, I'm sorry. I was supposed to tell you." Taeyeon said. "When were you supposed to tell me? For 24 years you lied to me so when exactly were you going to tell me? And I'm not your daughter Taeyeon, so don't pretend to care." Irene said angrily. And stormed out of the room.
