Why did he do that?
Like a student agonizing over a single, unanswerable question, she clung to it. Thanks to that, she couldn’t fall asleep until quite late.

Taeri quietly opened her bedroom door and walked out, descending the stairs to the lower floor. Her throat was parched with thirst. After tiptoeing into the dining room, she carefully opened the refrigerator door, trying not to make a sound, and took out a water bottle.
The people in the house don’t drink water from the water purifier. They only drink water infused with a handful of medicinal herbs that the housekeepers buy from the herbal medicine market.

In a house like this, with this kind of social standing, with their beautiful appearances, of course, they wanted to live long, healthy lives.
Drinking the water, she replayed the layout of the house in her head.

A mansion with two floors above ground and three basement levels. On the second floor were Park Chigyeong’s and her bedrooms. On the first floor were Park Sihyun’s parents’ and Park Sihyun’s bedrooms. Park Sihyun’s bedroom seemed to have originally been on the second floor, but it appeared he moved down after she arrived.
The first basement level, connected to the entrance hall, housed the study, and the second basement level was where the housekeepers’ bedrooms were located.

Finishing her thoughts, she placed the water bottle down in the sink. She resolved to come down first thing in the morning to wash the bottle and turned to go back upstairs again when she heard a faint sound from below.
Let’s just go upstairs.

In this house, every single thing that happens, pretend you didn’t see it, didn’t hear it. Even if you know it, pretend you don’t. Live as if you have no eyes, no ears, no mouth.
Live like that and endure, and as soon as your father’s case is resolved, just leave. Don’t pay attention. Go upstairs and sleep. Sleep. You have to sleep.

Her mind clearly directed her upstairs. But her feet, of their own accord, carried her down the stairs leading to the lower floor.
Why am I like this? Why am I so eager to throw myself into the pit?

That thought became even more intense as soon as she descended to the first basement level.
Because there, Park Chigyeong was sitting, pouring a glass of wine.

Go back upstairs, go back up, up, pretend you didn’t see anything, and go up, go upstairs, Kang Taeri.
Her mind flashed crimson, warning her.

Beep, beep.
But here she is again, ignoring the warning and going towards him.

Stupid… Kang Taeri.
“You’re not sleeping… what are you doing here?”

It seemed that he hadn’t expected Taeri’s arrival either. Park Chigyeong’s hand, who was lounging on the sofa, tilting his glass, seemed to pause for a moment.
“Aren’t you tired, sir?”

After hesitating, she sat down opposite him. With a single coffee table between them, acting as a barrier. She knew the brand of that coffee table. The fact that that tiny thing cost hundreds, no longer surprised her.
“What is this? When did I tell you to sit down?”

Park Chigyeong spoke almost inaudibly as he tilted his glass. On the coffee table, an unfamiliar bottle of liquor, lemon slices, an ice bucket, and other items sat together in a disordered order.
“Go upstairs.”

He shifted slightly, placing his empty glass on the table, and used tongs to drop a few ice cubes into it. Then, he filled it with the liquid that looked bitter just to look at and floated a lemon slice in it.
“I’m the one who asked Sihyun to go out. I did it. Sihyun didn’t do anything wrong. He wanted to stay home and rest, but I asked him to go out, so he had no choice but to take me. I was really suffocating being coped up here. I can’t even go out and work, just getting fed here, what’s the difference between this place and a prison without bars?”

His hand gripping the glass seemed to tighten slightly.
Leaning back onto the sofa, he looked at Taeri. He tilted the glass and swallowed the liquid inside. In his eyes that seemed endless like the deep sea, Taeri still simmered.

“Why are you saying that? What about your father, who’s actually in prison?”
Returning after 82 hours, he was a little colder, a little harsher, and spoke a little more cruelly. If she only knew the reason, but she couldn’t understand why he was acting this way.

“When can I see my father?”
“Soon. Wait. I’m not the type to use someone and then discard them1.”

Why did he have to talk like that?
He glanced down at his watch and gave a seemingly displeased Taeri a charming, superficial smile.

“Sihyun, sir.”

Whether it was because she hadn’t even listened to his words telling her to go upstairs, or whether he was dissatisfied with another person’s name being mentioned in this private space, his handsome face momentarily contorted.
“He likes his older brother a lot. That’s what it looks like to me.”

A chuckle escaped from him as he rubbed his furrowed brow. It was a louder laugh than usual, too loud to be a scoff. Park Chigyeong put down his glass, sighed softly, and ran a hand through his hair. His eyes, cold and sharp, glinted in the dim light.
“I don’t understand what Ms. Kang Taeri wants from me right now. So? What? What do you want me to do?”

She thought the man’s eyes, looking at her, were particularly venomous today, like a snake.
Today, he was too much. His gaze, his words, his actions, his emotions, everything was too much.

“So, what I mean is… Sihyun… don’t hit him, sir. It makes those who see it uncomfortable too.”
“Does Ms. Kang Taeri pity our Sihyun?”

“Yes. I pity him.”
Is that so? He erased his snake-like gaze and smiled gracefully.

Interesting.
Rubbing the space between his eyebrows with his thumbnail, he muttered and snatched the cigarette pack on the table, pulling out a cigarette and placing it between his lips. Then, chewing on the cigarette filter, he laughed again.

His unpleasant sneer gradually dragged Taeri’s mood toward rock bottom.
“What’s so funny? Do you find it amusing that I pity Sihyun?”

“Why? Why is it amusing?”

“Hmm,” he hummed, pretending to think, then lit the cigarette with a smile, spinning the lighter wheel. “Well. Perhaps because someone who knows nothing is acting presumptuous?”
He inhaled deeply, filling his lungs with smoke, and exhaled slowly, before continuing,

“That’s why you keep getting taken advantage of.”
The vague target of his words made her feel disgusted, and an unknown force tensed every muscle in her whole body.

Don’t you get it yet? When will you finally understand?

Watching him with a sense of emptiness, her mind urged her feet.
See? That’s why I told you to go back upstairs.

Blaming her perfectly fine two legs that had brought her here of their own accord, she rose from the sofa. Trying not to feel any resentment, disappointment, hurt, or any emotion at all.
“Drink in moderation and get some rest. And please arrange a meeting date with my father as soon as possible. I know you told me to wait, but how long am I supposed to wait?”

Looking up at her as he smoked, he ordered imperiously, “Sit down.”
He chewed hard on his cigarette filter, watching Taeri defy him again.

“I’m not finished talking yet, so sit down.”
His upturned eyes were sharp, even chilling, and with the ingrained expertise of someone used to controlling others, she eventually sat back down on the sofa.
