Whisper Chapter 30

I looked a812e6c21b over and 860079b753 over again, cce2a293c5 wondering if 6912bbe9df I was 58bac927b4 seeing correctly. No, at this df0d39bd57 time, something like 07651b10b5 this had never 6ce600eaa3 happened before. Lee Heewoo suddenly 6af18be65a moved frantically. Thinking that Cha Gyeol 1bc6edf0e0 was probably still asleep, 2e752ca849 she suddenly heard the be9ed39cce sound of birds chirping f5754ff1f7 from somewhere. While tidying 30b7dada24 up the 30882b92f2 blanket, Lee d171ad13a1 Heewoo paused e3dde305dd for a a4ef58d59e moment and 81984a6293 moved toward bb14b95229 the direction 0995fe0ecc of the a81b549434 sound.50dd8499a73da635

Seeing the brightly lit phone on top of the dresser by the window, Heewoo stared at the screen for a long time before picking it up. Looking at the name “Cha Gyeol” displayed, she cautiously slid the green button.ed211bdcd4dc832e

 74126c63a3ddce32

[Since he beat me, I tried hiding and running away. I was terrified. Eventually, just seeing a bottle of alcohol made my heart race in fear. A year or so passed like that, and then he brought in a woman he called my stepmother. ] 

 30576018e78a6473

[No, not that kind of stepmother—just shut your mouth. When my stepmother came, my dad drank less and stopped hitting me. Yeah, it was great. But that didn’t last a year. ]

 af15b519fbb42800

[Soon enough, he was drinking and hitting again, and this time, my stepmother got beaten too. There was a time when the two of us ran away barefoot in the dead of winter, shivering under someone else’s gate. Even in that miserable state, my stepmother never ran away. ]

 c4cc09b7dd821085

[ Of course, I didn’t want her to. As a child, I was always worried she might leave me behind. Having someone with you is a world of difference from being alone. That’s how we lived, and then when I was fifteen, my stepmother finally ran away. ]

 87887bcf26983d5f

[ I know—she endured for a long time. I didn’t resent her. I cried a lot. No, I didn’t die then. You’re supposed to listen to the whole story. Then, a man moved into our neighborhood. I fell for him. ] 

 5ed55d29e5ef2b15

[ He came from a well-off family and had a decent job at a company. Maybe he felt sorry for me, a girl running away from her abusive father. His family was strongly against it, but somehow, we managed to get married. A few days before the wedding, my stepmother came to see me. ] 

 f9bc1659a2e819a4

[She must have heard about the wedding somewhere. She didn’t look great, but her face wasn’t too bad. Smiling… crying, she apologized and told me to live happily. She hugged me tight and shoved something into my hand before running off. ]

 2ffa7d2bff438d0e

[ When I opened it, there was a hundred thousand won inside a paper envelope. We weren’t even related by blood, but she was better than family. My dad sent me off to get married with nothing but the clothes on my back, while she gave me money. ]

 72bffc74def40baa

[Happy? You think I was happy? After marriage, hell began. My mother-in-law would grab my hair, beat me, spit on me if I so much as spoke a word back. Hey, my ears are rotting from all your swearing. Can you tone it down? My husband? The funny thing is, at some point, he joined in. ]

 7c77cc3e10b2666f

[Ignoring me, hitting me, calling me names—saying I wasn’t proper, that I was ugly, that I was ignorant. I endured. I had nowhere else to go. I thought that since I was lacking, it was only natural for me to suffer like that. I believed that if I just endured… ]
