episode_0092

My thoughts stopped.

I had only thought of somehow apologizing to Oppa and calmly resolving things through conversation when I saw him, but seeing the unbelievable scene on the screen, my mind became a blank slate.

What on earth was this, I wondered if it was one of those deepfakes popular nowadays, but Oppa’s mouth movements perfectly matched the audio.

『What, why are you so surprised?』

“No, well─ Really? Oppa and Unni, that kind of… No, but….”

It had already been several days since I lost contact with Oppa, and I had so much I wanted to tell him due to my anxiety. I had even borrowed paper and a notebook from the prison guard to organize my thoughts, but the words wouldn’t come out smoothly.

Then, a snotty, arrogant sound echoed from beyond the phone.

『Ha~ You crazy bitch. I knew you’d end up like this for acting out.』

“……Cha Hwaryeon.”

『You should call me Unni. Hmph… All this time, you’ve been saying harsh things, like you’d buy my company while I’m stuck with a gambler husband, haven’t you? You fucking bitch. I love seeing you trapped like a monkey.』

That made me seethe.

At the blatant taunts of that incompetent, irritable woman, my mental state was shaken first. Someone who, in the past, would have been too afraid of my influence to even open their mouth and would have just passed by, now acting so conceited and puffed up was utterly disgusting to see.

‘What on earth is this? I clearly heard the company was swallowed by Oppa’s side, didn’t I? Since when did Oppa Doyeon and… what kind of relationship did they develop without me knowing? No, is this even a proper world!?’

I didn’t know anything else, but I couldn’t make sense of this situation.

Hwaryeon Unni and Doyeon Oppa clearly didn’t have a good family relationship, just like me, but Hwaryeon Unni was wrapping her arms around Oppa’s waist as if calling him ‘honey.’

The scene of them genuinely having sex vividly showed her breasts, full of sweat and kiss marks (…), clearly through the phone, displaying their relationship.

『Noona, calm down a bit.』

『Ah…!』

『We’re just making this call to receive an ‘apology’ from our arrogant younger sister, aren’t we?』

『Mm-hmm…♥ Right, that’s it.』

On top of that, Oppa went a step further.

He even shoved his hand into Unni’s parted place (…), then guided her chin to turn and kissed her. In a place that could be his home or a clean hotel room, I couldn’t tell which, a location that rubbed salt in my wounds, he savored that hot-headed Unni as if toying with her. What on earth was his intention, as he showed off their affectionate acts toward the screen, then flashed a rotten smile.

『So, is our younger sister ready?』

“……R-ready?”

『Hey, if you’ve been reflecting in there, you must have at least gained some sense, right? Start. Say you’re sorry for causing trouble and acting crazy. Kneel and beg, saying you’re sorry for being presumptuous and defying this Oppa and Unni all this time.』

“…….”

In fact, I was going to do that anyway.

Trapped indefinitely in a foreign prison colluding with the government, unable to appoint a lawyer, and even being monitored by my own older brother in this wretched place, I was prepared to beg and beg again if it meant I could get out.

『Ah~ Seeing you like that really cleanses my soul♡』

‘Why the hell is *she* so conceited!?’

However, facing Unni, who I hadn’t expected, really frayed my nerves. It wasn’t even Oppa, who had gambled and competed in his own way, but that incompetent, merely irritable Unni was acting so defiant, causing my stress levels to skyrocket.

『Doyeon-ah, tell me. Has this bitch really changed that much?』

『Of course, she has. Trapped and only eating hard bread and porridge, and just sleeping, it’s been five days now, she must be losing her mind, right?』

『Hah! You didn’t let her wash either? So that’s why she looked like a beggar!』

“…….”

While I was grinding my teeth, Oppa continued to chatter away as he pleased, and Unni was like a bad omen clinging to him. Even if that Unni were sprinkled with gold dust, I couldn’t like her. I didn’t know why the two of them had become involved in a relationship that went beyond incest, but seeing that sight, I felt like the blood vessels in my eyes would burst.

『Alright, start. Say you’re sorry for all the crazy things you did and all the trouble you caused. You fucking bitch.』

Moreover, her current state was truly that of a fox relying on a tiger’s might. When was it that she used to sneer at me for being conceited while clinging to my husband, but now Unni, using Oppa to put on airs, was truly a repulsive sight.

‘How, how much lower can Cha Soeun fall? Fuck.’

It was true that unlike Seonmi Unni, I had openly disregarded Hwaryeon Unni. Seonmi Unni was, to anyone’s eye, a naturally gifted individual and the heir of the Hwaryeong family whom even I had to acknowledge, whereas Hwaryeon Unni was, in every respect, just an ordinary person. I simply found it ludicrous that she didn’t acknowledge her own capabilities.

…And that was all!

“Hah…… At this point, aren’t *you* two—Oppa and Unni—the crazy ones?!”

At my shouting, Victor, who was across from me, seemed startled and lifted his head, but I paid him no mind. That guy was already half-dead, so I simply ignored him and screamed at the phone connected to the video call.

“You suddenly contact me, and you’re just having incestuous sex, aren’t you? Oppa and Unni, *you’re* the crazy ones! Look at your state now. Are you two even sane as family!?”

If it were up to me, I would have added my usual string of profanities. I wanted to curse freely as my tongue desired, to relieve the congestion in my chest and feel refreshed. I forcibly held it back, and only pointed out the crucial points.

However, speaking those words was, in itself, a mistake.

『…This kid still hasn’t come to her senses.』

*Flinch!*

Oppa’s utterly cold voice from beyond the phone. In my situation, that single short sentence was terrifying beyond words.

『Alright, that’s enough for this call. I’ll cut off contact for even longer from now on, so just rot there for the rest of your life.』

“W-wa-wait a minute!? Doyeon Oppa!”

『From now on, I’m going to screw your Unni once more, so let’s end this.』

『Hey, you said you’d educate her properly, didn’t you?』

『It’s fine. Just let it be as if it never happened. I’ll comfort you instead, starting now.』

『Ngh!? Oh, there… Mm-hmm, ah, ahhh♥ Yes, this is better. Suck my breasts more… Give me kiss marks♥』

“Wait! Oppa, you just got emotional for a moment. Oppa! ……Unni!?”

I screamed, but the audio was cut off just like that. Whether he threw the phone on the floor, even the video call, which was showing the ceiling, was cut off, and after some time, the guard collected it.

My chance had flown away.

‘Fuck, I couldn’t even suppress that temper of mine…!’

*Thump! Thump!*

I stamped my foot, but it was too late. Stupidly, I had missed yet another chance to escape.

***

Approximately three weeks had passed. At least, I think so.

By this point, my mind had simply become numb. My days had been filled with dopamine from daily drinking, gambling, or shopping, but being confined to a detention center where I could do nothing, my thoughts became numb as if those toxins were forcibly removed.

So, I squatted down and tried to reflect on why I had fallen so low, and thought to myself. Since childhood, others had done everything for me, so I had never thought this deeply before, but anyway, I started now.

The obvious conclusion was Oppa, who had changed. As if he had been struck by lightning while walking down the street, he transformed, frantically raking in money, and became a person full of guts and audacity. His flippant personality and fondness for women were still the same, but something was definitely different.

‘Come to think of it… Oppa was noticeably strange when he was separated from the group.’

In the end, it was Oppa’s fault. A large snowball effect caused by a previously incompetent person suddenly changing.

Next, I thought about who could help me now. In conclusion……… there was no one.

My family came to mind first, but Mom hadn’t even had a private meeting with me since the marriage she opposed. As I had seen before, Hwaryeon Unni and I had a terrible relationship, and my eldest Unni, whom I had somewhat respected, was just crazy about the company. Even if I somehow managed to contact them, they would only think of exploiting this situation. On top of that, Dad, who had always doted on me, had passed away long ago.

“…….”

Most of all, Victor, who was doing so well as a casino businessman, was in that state. After being imprisoned, he was utterly pathetic, only staring at the floor, and after being called out a few times, it seemed some of his gold teeth, which were valuable, had been extracted. Moreover, I had been expecting it for a while, but he was taking strong steroid drugs. His shoulder width seemed to have been increased by drugs, and he gradually became monstrous, only gaining more appetite. We had once been a couple whom I called my husband, but from my perspective, he no longer even looked human.

If not people, then my assets. I looked into it, but even that was not easy. Even if I lost money through gambling, the company wouldn’t be transferred all at once, but in the current situation, I was in a dire predicament. Only now did I realize that Oppa had imprisoned me to achieve that.

In the end, it was Oppa from A to Z. Oppa, as if wringing out a dry rag, I realized he had imprisoned us to squeeze out every last drop.

So, I thought about it one last time. I wondered if there truly was no final card I could play here. It wasn’t that there wasn’t one. If Oppa held all the power, then I just needed to somehow change his mind. Besides, no matter what, I was Oppa’s blood sister.

‘That video of him playing with that hot-headed Unni… he *deliberately* showed only that, didn’t he?’

Come to think of it, every time I contacted him, he seemed to be playing around with women, but he specifically showed *that* video. Thinking about it deeply, I finally understood that the goal was surely not just an apology or reconciliation of our relationship.

It was only at this point that I finally realized. I thought about what Oppa would want from his perspective, and at last, I knew what it was. That simply begging wasn’t the solution. As his younger sister, I had to give Oppa ‘what he wanted.’

‘Oh, I see…♥’

*Grin.*

It was simple. To Oppa, who had become quite cool, I just had to give him what he liked best. Thinking it over, if it was the changed Oppa, I wouldn’t be so displeased either. No, if it was the current Oppa, I would even welcome it.

So, I conveyed this to the prison guard.

“Call Oppa for me.”

After swallowing saliva down my dry throat, “Now, I’m perfectly ready to apologize to Oppa.”

I delivered it with grim determination.

“What?”

“…….”

But since my words weren’t getting through, I had to use the ‘Kkugle translator’ offered by them.

***

One month later.

The gamble over my assets was already a month ago. I had to go to the Philippines again. I had to finalize matters regarding other overseas casino ownership states, and needed to see how much of the casino shares they would value, and play for it.

But unexpectedly, the Philippine side was favorable. They had prepared the money in cash as previously agreed. Not only that, they even had the police accompany me and made preparations at the airport. It seemed the head of this country had judged that I had business acumen. If I considered it, they had saved their own face, and it was like clearing their nose without using their hands, so the nuance was that they wanted to see me for a bit longer.

Anyway, since they were favorable, it was fine. The work was concluded well, and the farewell meal was delicious too.

However, the real business wasn’t this. While I was here, I had to meet one of my precious blood relatives, whom I had treated a little harshly. I heard through a message that she was ready to apologize. She conveyed that she would prepare her apology, so please come visit her in person.

*Clang, clang!*

So, I made my way to that prison again. As the prison guard unlocked the thick padlock, and I went inside, even receiving a salute,

“Ohrabeoni, you’ve arrived?”

The younger sister from before… could not be seen. The younger sister, whose tone of speech and voice had changed, could only be seen after I lowered my eyes considerably.

First, my younger sister was naked. Like with Hwaryeon Noona, she was naked inside the bars, baring her white skin, and bowing deeply. Displaying her deeply sculpted erector spinae muscles, she raised her beautiful shoulder blades and apologized.

Soon, as my footsteps halted, she raised her head. While looking up at this Oppa for a long time, she simultaneously shook her large breasts, which had inherited excellent genes from her mother. As if asking me to find her cute, she smiled as charmingly as possible, panting, and even swayed her lower body.

“Ohrabeoni, Soeun is truly ready to apologize to Ohrabeoni♡”

Truly a dog. The last offspring of the Hwaryeong family, who had completely abandoned her pride.

A faint smile bloomed on my face. I stroked my chin, lost in contemplation.

‘I left her alone for a bit, and her education certainly seems to have been proper.’

I just left her be, and she realized it on her own. That arrogant younger sister, offered ‘what I wanted most’ as if serving it up.
