## Chapter 60 – Diverging Mother and Daughter (1)
“Are you going to keep quiet until the end?”
Minhee asked Yoojin.
Yoojin, who had been busy sharpening a knife after saying she would treat Minhee to dinner, feigned ignorance and asked back.
“Huh? About what?”
Minhee stared at Yoojin’s awkward smile for a moment before getting up. Following her, the men in black suits who had been waiting in a corner of the house stood up.
“If it were any other day, I’d stay here until the next day… but I’m sorry, I have a match soon. And,”
Minhee glanced at the men standing motionless without expression, then looked back at Yoojin and continued.
“These guys aren’t people I can just order around as I please.”
“We’re fine, Young Master.”
A middle-aged man, seemingly the leader of the group, said to Minhee. Then, the other men all spoke to Minhee in unison.
“Yes, we can stay up all night without a problem!”
After the spirited and resounding shout passed, Minhee spoke in a bitter voice that contrasted with it.
“I told you not to call me Young Master…”
Minhee looked at Yoojin again. Yoojin, who had been busy sharpening the knife, unconsciously turned towards the kitchen to put down the kitchen knife she was holding. Minhee followed Yoojin and said.
“No one can hear us here from outside. Tell me.”
“……”
However, despite Minhee’s gentle words, Yoojin only put the knife down and remained silent. Minhee, who had been quietly watching Yoojin’s face, continued in a small voice.
“If it were something really serious, you would have contacted Sua, not me. If you needed money, you would have told Jiyoung. But the fact that you told me means you want me to handle some dirty work that you can’t tell others about, right? Because that’s the role I play in our group.”
“…That’s not it!”
Yoojin gripped the kitchen knife she had put down and slammed it down on the cutting board for no reason, but Minhee didn’t even flinch. She was confident that she could easily dodge it even if Yoojin suddenly swung that knife at her.
“Then tell me honestly. Why did you call me here tonight? You didn’t just ask me to come alone, but also to bring a few big guys with me, so it couldn’t have been to hang out. We’re not even friends in the first place.”
Yoojin also saw Minhee more as a business partner she got along with rather than a friend, but as someone with a strong desire for recognition, she frowned, feeling pained to hear the words “we’re not friends” from a classmate she was somewhat close to.
“A stalker? It can’t be that. I took care of a stalker for you last time, all by myself.”
“It’s not a stalker. It could be similar, though.”
“Then what is it?”
Yoojin put down the kitchen knife and looked at Minhee. Could she trust Minhee? If she had been the only one targeted by that bastard, even if he had a sex video of her and a video to expose to Minjoon, Yoojin would have confessed to Minhee about what she had suffered from him over the past few days.
And even if it meant risking exposure, she would have ambushed and killed or tortured that bastard with Minhee and the men tonight when he sneaked into her bedroom again.
But that bastard even has a sex video of her mom, no, he’s even having fun having sex with her mom…
As she recalled that fact again, what she had seen at lunch, Yoojin was filled with anger and sadness at the same time.
“You’re not going to say anything until the end, are you? Then I have no choice either. I can’t put my people in danger when I don’t know what might happen. We’ll be going now.”
Minhee went straight out of the kitchen as if she wouldn’t listen to any answers. She gestured to the men, and they all rushed out of Yoojin’s house.
Yoojin finally turned on the lights in the house, which she had kept dark when she was with the others. Now that they were gone, she had no choice but to revise her original plan to ambush that bastard and deal with him before he could do anything stupid.
Yoojin sprawled on the sofa and took out her phone. And once again, she sent a text to her mom. There was no reply. She suppressed her disgust and sent a text to that bastard as well, but there was no reply from him either.
“They’re not… together, are they?”
Yoojin clutched her phone with both hands and rolled around on the sofa, lost in anxious thoughts. Then, at some point, Yoojin put down her phone and hugged a long pillow with one leg and both arms, muttering to herself.
No, rather than muttering to herself, she was talking to herself. To rationalize her mom’s incomprehensible behavior.
“That can’t be, not my mom… She said she was busy… She must be working. There’s no way she’s lying to me and playing around with that bastard. Mom is just… just a little lonely. So she just… did that with that bastard… It’s just that… To Mom, that bastard is just a dildo… Pfft! Yeah, a dildo, pfft! That bastard is a dildo, a cheap, trashy dildo… But a big… really big… dildo…”
Premature drowsiness overcame Yoojin. Yoojin thought that the reason she was already drowsy even though she had skipped dance practice today was because she had been tormented by that bastard in the morning and at lunch. As soon as she thought of that bastard again, anger arose, but it was impossible to overcome the sleepiness with that level of anger.
Just before falling asleep, when she was in a semi-conscious state, Yoojin thought about what Minhee had said.
Friend.
As Minhee said, Yoojin had no friends. There were countless followers who admired her and wanted to receive her attention, even though she had not yet debuted as an idol, but she did not have a single friend who was equal to her.
But why was it? The moment Minhee mentioned the word friend, the reason why Nayoung’s foolish and spaced-out, but still somewhat cute-looking face came to mind.
After realizing that her childhood friend was a little lacking, she had deliberately tormented her relentlessly because she was ashamed of the fact that a star who had to rise higher like herself was once equal to such a girl even in her childhood, so why does she still call that idiot a friend…
Sleep completely overcame Yoojin.

“You, you, you son of a bitch, you betra─”
*Thwack!*
The security guard swung the metal bat again, hitting the principal’s head as he was about to utter the word “betrayal.”
Perhaps because the situation was over and the tension was immediately released, I, who had been hugging Yujeong tightly and comforting her with sweet words as she burst into tears, was horrified and ran to grab the security guard’s hand.
“He’ll really die if you keep doing this!”
“Let him die, that rapist bastard deserves to die.”
I was dumbfounded and found it difficult to manage my expression. I had a lot to say, but first, I snatched the metal bat from the security guard’s hand and returned to Yujeong.
Fortunately, Yujeong’s gaze towards the security guard wasn’t that bad. She even nodded, as if agreeing with his words, telling him to hit him more. But my words that he would really die if he kept doing this weren’t an exaggeration.
Still, thanks to that, instead of dealing with the principal myself, I had called the security guard, whom I had set up as insurance, and made him intervene at the right time, successfully creating a situation where he naturally became one of us.
“Then I’ll take her to the chairman’s house.”
I said to the security guard, holding Yujeong’s hand.
Yujeong decided not to report it to the police. Yujeong knew very well that it was pointless to do so, and she was a woman who couldn’t tolerate the rumor that the principal had tried to rape the chairman spreading within the school more than being raped by the principal herself.
I turned Yujeong towards the door, blocked her face with my back, and exchanged glances with the security guard. The glances of accomplices.
If possible, I wanted to stay here and finish dealing with the principal before leaving, but I couldn’t because the auntie kept whining and wouldn’t let go of my hand.
For now, I had no choice but to trust the security guard. I felt uneasy trusting a traitor, but he couldn’t possibly side with the person whose head he had just hit with a metal bat.
The security guard began to tie up the principal with the red rope that the principal had prepared to tie up Yujeong. The security guard started tying up the principal in a strange way, as if he had learned it from some porn video, and it wasn’t good to keep watching, so I quickly turned my gaze away.
Then, the beautiful expression, breasts, and buttocks of the weeping beauty came into my view.
“Let’s go.”
I closed the principal’s office door and walked down the hallway, but before I could take a few steps, the chairman bumped her shoulder against me.
What’s wrong with this auntie?
“It’s dark.”
Yujeong whined and rubbed her body against me. I had no choice but to put one arm around her waist. Her waist was thin compared to her breasts, so I could easily hold her with one arm.
“It’s dark, it’s scary.”
It’s dark because it’s night, auntie.
I seriously suspected that Yujeong had been hit on the head by the principal and her intelligence had dropped to Nayoung’s level while I wasn’t looking, but fortunately, I could see that that wasn’t the case when we came out to a brighter place. She was just more than twice as afraid of the dark as others.
Yujeong, who was walking to the parking lot, muttered with an anxious expression, as if frustrated that she couldn’t walk fast because she had no strength in her legs.
“My daughter must be scared too.”
It would be troublesome if she went back to ‘Mom’ mode after I had put in so much effort.
“Eek!”
I put my arms under Yujeong’s thighs and lifted her into a princess carry. Since she had been carried like this by me several times, Yujeong now naturally put her arms around my neck and pressed her big breasts tightly against my chest without resisting.
“Yoojin must be sleeping, she usually sleeps at this time. She doesn’t even reply to my texts even if I send them.”
“Is that so?…… Huh?”
Yujeong looked at me as if asking how I knew that, but I continued to pretend to be Yoojin’s boyfriend. I planned to continue until Yujeong completely believed it.
We arrived at the car. Yujeong pressed the car key. Since she could drive, I naturally stood in front of the driver’s seat, but Yujeong strongly dissuaded me, so I had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat.
I got into Yujeong’s car and went to Yujeong’s house. She had no strength in her legs, but she drove well. It was reckless driving.
“Stop there, stop there for a second.”
“Huh? Oh, why?”
Yujeong stopped the car, flustered. I ran into the unmanned ice cream store, picked out any ice cream for myself and a fancy ice cream for Yujeong, and returned to the car.
I had expected Yujeong to run away as soon as I got out of the car, but unexpectedly, Yujeong was waiting for me very obediently. She even lowered the passenger-side window to look at me.
I got back into the passenger seat. I handed Yujeong the ice cream.
“What do you want to eat?”
“How did you know I liked this?”
How did I know, of course you would like something expensive─
That’s what I thought, but Yujeong chose the red bean ice cream that I had picked out on my own. Anyway, auntie, what a taste.
Anyway, we parked the car for a while and started licking the ice cream side by side. I felt strangely hot as I quietly watched a beauty like Yujeong licking a round and long bar-shaped ice cream. I thought I might be getting slightly erect. I thought I wouldn’t even get hard anymore since I had been shooting all day, but I guess it can’t be helped since the person next to me is who she is.
Yujeong pretended to be looking only at the front of the car without saying a word, but she glanced at my profile, pretending to look at the rearview mirror.
In the meantime, as if her body was burning, she asked me.
“……Are you not going to, do it, today?”
