The period was marked.

“I’ve liked you ever since then, brother-in-law.”

The ominous feeling that ran down my spine finally turned into confidence and became reality.

You knew it.

From the moment we first met, I already knew it was me.

And yet.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

He pushed into me without showing any signs and turned me into an animal.

A beast that jumps excitedly at my sister-in-law, no, it’s something worse than that.

Juyeon, with a relieved expression, answered after letting go of the feelings she had been holding back for a long time.

“If you say it, nothing will change.”

“… … .”

“Because I know that my brother-in-law will only see me as his sister-in-law, and our relationship will not be able to take even one step forward.”

“That’s… .”

That is correct.

Even though it is now a body that has nothing to do with anything, the Han Ju-yeon in my memory does not change.

A grateful, loving family who brought a ray of sunshine among a cold family.

A being filled with only good memories in a relationship where good and bad memories are mixed.

Her presence and memory were a sanctuary for me.

It must never be invaded, and must be protected without allowing anyone to intrude.

The moment I remembered that, I wouldn’t have been swayed no matter how Juyeon tried to tempt me.

“Brother-in-law.”

A voice that is as warm as the spring sunlight, yet somehow sticky, calls me.

A name I thought I would never hear anymore.

“How was it?”

“What.”

“What was it like when ugly jealousy filled your heart?”

How was it?

“… It was dirty.”

“Yes, it’s dirty. It makes me wonder why I have to feel this way and makes me anxious to get rid of it.”

Han Joo-yeon smiles bitterly and sympathizes.

“By the way, brother-in-law.”

Her eyes turn to me.

With my face in a lake of scum-like water in the eyes that are clouded with all kinds of stains.

“I harbored that feeling for close to 20 years.”

“… … .”

“I came this far, embracing the darkness that I couldn’t show to anyone, without showing it even once.”

I didn’t know.

I had no idea that this deep darkness was lurking inside the guy who always smiled brightly in front of me.

It must have been possible because he hid his true feelings so perfectly and endured the pain alone.

As I imagined Juyeon secretly suffering, I became angry.

“Why on earth did you do that? What’s wrong with you… !”

He is a child that everyone can’t help but love.

A beauty that makes you unable to take your eyes off once you see it.

A voluptuous body that makes you want to be held in your arms at least once.

And a bright and warm personality that goes beyond all the external aspects.

This is a kid who can pick on any guy if he wants.

It’s so sad that a child who can be happy as much as he wants and has the right to be happier than anyone else has suffered for a long time because of a human being like me.

“Brother-in-law, I’m smiling right now.”

I am helplessly happy.

Because such an attractive woman loved me.

Even in situations where I should be angry, I am happy at the same time.

What kind of person have I become?

I asked her, lowering the corners of my mouth that kept rising.

“… Let’s understand why.”

“What reason?”

“The reason why it was suddenly revealed after being kept secret until now.”

I was curious.

It has been kept a secret until now, but suddenly some wind blows and the truth is revealed.

“That’s right… , I thought it was time to do that.”

“When?”

“You’re still confused, brother-in-law. Because he can’t fully treat me as his sister-in-law, and because he can’t even see me as his own woman.”

“… … .”

I stuck my tongue out inside.

How did you get this insight?

When you look at things like that, you realize that you are Han Joo-hee’s younger sister.

In order not to lose, I would like to add one more thing.

“The moment you said this, didn’t you think that we would become further apart than we are now?”

“Not at all.”

The guy shakes his head with a confident expression, saying that it can never be like that.

“I know my brother-in-law well.”

“… … .”

“The desire to possess and monopolize is strong. So, you were jealous every time your sister talked to another man.”

“Because Joohee was my wife.”

The head nods as if in agreement with the words spoken in a panic.

“That’s right. That’s why I’m confessing now.”

“… … ?”

“Because I became that kind of person to my brother-in-law.”

“What… , Ugh.”

The guy underneath me wrapped his legs around my waist, as if he had been waiting for me.

The location changed in a short moment of oops.

Jooyeon, sitting on my boat, leans down and whispers with her face close to me.

“Imagine, brother-in-law.”

“… What.”

“I see myself falling in love with a man other than my brother-in-law.”

“… … .”

My head lets its imagination run wild as it pleases.

The moment when the strange words and actions that I had only seen before were directed to another man.

It’s scary to even think about it.

So much so that I wanted to cut the entire scene with a knife and rip my erection to pieces.

Complex emotions abound.

Nara, who feels uncomfortable feelings toward her sister-in-law, has a hatred for humans.

Yet, the base greed of not wanting to lose her breaks his heart again and again.

Juyeon’s face, looking down at my distorted face, was colored with an even brighter smile.

It seems like he knew that would happen.

“Look at that.”

It’s like he knew this would happen.

“That won’t work, right?”

You drive a nail into your heart that you will never be able to do that.

I feel rebellious.

Who am I?

Even in a dungeon where all kinds of mental attacks are pouring in, I am a poisonous species that survives without losing humanity.

If you make up your mind.

And for her future.

“If that’s the way for you and I to be happier, I’m willing… .”

“Shh.”

Before I could finish speaking, her long index finger pressed firmly against my lips.

“So my brother-in-law can’t let me leave.”

“… … .”

“I’m a woman who can’t be happy anywhere except by my brother-in-law’s side.”

“Jooyeon.”

“And my brother-in-law won’t be able to see me like that. Because.”

Han Joo-yeon pauses for a moment and smiles.

Dark emotions can be seen in a smile that appears fresh on the outside.

A terribly sticky obsession and madness born from a long love that cannot be repaid.

“Because I am the most precious person to my brother-in-law.”

It was a kind of confirmation, her wish.

I suddenly remember what Han Joo-hee said at the time when we were in the midst of a passionate relationship.

Women are said to be anxious about the remaining 1% of uncertainty rather than the 99% certainty they have within them.

The current Juyeon was also like that.

I know how precious Han Joo-yeon is to me, but I want her to speak for me directly in order to reach 100%.

I see this pitiful figure that makes me shiver inside.

“Yes, that’s right.”

I admitted.

“Juyeon, you are a person more precious than my life.”

“Tongue, brother-in-law… .”

Did I not expect such a sincere answer to come back?

Juyeon’s face turns red.

He continued his bitter words towards her.

“That’s why I’m so distressed right now.”

In “… … ?”

Eyes widening.

He continues speaking while quietly gazing into eyes filled with surprise.

“There are no eternal secrets in this world, Juyeon.”

“… … .”

“Although we are hiding it now, someday everyone will… Even if it isn’t, people close to you will know.”

Maybe not too far away.

One day it will be revealed that I am the real Son Si-woo.

If that happens, our relationship will naturally also be on the chopping block.

“Everyone who finds out will curse you and me.”

My sister who acted cold but gave me whatever I wanted.

My nephew followed me around, saying he was just as good as his mother.

My parents were looking forward to it, saying that all they want now is for me to meet a good man and get married.

Everyone else.

“No matter what you imagine, you will face criticism that is several times stronger than that.”

Maybe everyone in the world will curse at us, spit on us, and throw eggs at us every step we take.

He calls out the name of his frail sister-in-law, whose complexion has become noticeably pale.

“So, Juyeon.”

“… Yes, brother-in-law.”

And I ask.

“Can you handle it all?”

After struggling for a moment, her lips fall.

“I… .”

* * *

I felt a sense of déjà vu.

The time when I saw a side of his miserable life and fell helplessly into it overlaps with the present.

The person of the past and the person of the present are asking.

“Can you handle it all?”

Criticism and resentment pouring in from those who have cared for and been cherished.

Can you handle all of that?

She was silent for a moment.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about it.

I definitely expected it.

That one day the truth will come to light and the relationship between him and me will rise to the surface.

Even considering that, she approached him without hesitation and seduced him.

Because I didn’t want to miss it.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that came out of nowhere.

A unique moment where I can connect with the person who has escaped from the walls of my family.

I felt like if I missed this, even her heart would break.

‘I’m prepared.’

The resolution was completed immediately.

My sister, my niece, my parents.

Even if everyone else criticizes me, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m with him.

So don’t worry about yourself.

As long as you are with your brother-in-law, it is okay even if a thorny path spreads out in front of you.

“I… .”

That’s what I wanted to answer.

“I don’t know… I guess.”

Neither positivity nor negativity, but fear came out of my mouth.

At the same time, a single tear flowed from her eye and down her cheek.

It was a moment I had longed for and hoped for.

A situation on the verge of becoming truly connected to the man you love.

“I’m fine. It’s okay if I’m with my brother-in-law… !”

A genius opportunity that came out of nowhere.

If you take just one step closer, you can be with him for the rest of your life.

“I don’t like it when my brother-in-law is hated because of me… .”

Ironically, I was caught on my last steps by the man I loved so much.

A happy future that disappears without a trace like a mirage.

“What should I do now, brother-in-law… ?”

The sad question of a woman who had lost the answer reached the man.
