The room went silent. All eyes turned to Min-Ji, who stood there fidgeting around.
"What do you want?" YuWon asked, the warmness gone from his eyes.
"I-I wanted to check if you're alright—"
Before she could say anymore, Yeji got up, staring at Min-Ji like she was going to burn her with her gaze itself.
"Get out," she said, pointing towards the gate. "You're not welcome here."
Min-Ji looked down but didn't move. Yeji lost her cool and was about to lash out when YuWon grabbed her wrist, pulling her back.
"Calm down," he said.
Yeji looked at him as if he had stabbed her in the back, but then calmed down. YuWon smiled and shook his head. He knew Yeji was acting out on his behalf.
In her eyes, he nearly died because of Min-Ji, even though it was his choice. But Yeji couldn't say anything to YuWon, so she was lashing out at their mother.
