EPISODE 2.5
Before they could even open the envelope, I decided to kindly spoil it for them with my own words.
In a voice that could not have been gentler or more compassionate, I declared with all the kindness I could muster.
“You two are brother and sister.”
Jurrrrr.
The orange juice that Cha Ye bin had been holding in his mouth spilled back into the cup.
I had to clench my fists to stop myself from laughing as I watched Cha Yebin’s face frozen in a dumbfounded expression, unaware that he was choking on the orange juice he couldn’t swallow.
A scene I had seen many times before was playing out before my eyes.
“Who do you mean by the two of us, me and Mr. Eunwoo?”
Han Seo-ri began to deny reality. If they were going to be a brother and sister, then she was determined that it would be with Park Eun-woo, and not Cha Ye bin. But Sadly…
“My brother and you are siblings. You and I would be sisters. How do you think about it, Sister? Oh, you don’t like it when I call you Sister.”
“Don’t lie, you’re lying.”
“Isn’t that what you want to believe, big sister?”
“How can I and Mr. Yebin be siblings, how can we be siblings, how can we!”
“If you don’t believe me, check out these inspection papers, big sister.”
“Stop calling me big sister, Cha Ye ryun!”
Oh, my goodness. She hated me calling her sister and caused a scene, and with an uncharacteristically hysterical scream, she picked up the envelope on the table, the seal of the Korean Genetic Testing Center glowing blue.
Her hands were rough as she tore open the envelope. Then it ripped.
If I checked, I would only see the cruel result: “The genetic test of Cha Se-hoon and Han Seo-ri shows a 99.999 percent probability that they are related.
“Ms. Ye-ryun.”
Park Eun-woo had been silently watching the events unfold. Ms Han then spoke up,
“Why is Ms. Ye ryun telling me all this?”
“You’ll know about it anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to hear it from my mouth than to eavesdrop on your parents?”
“How do you know that?”
“Oh, I sent that test to your house, and I thought it would be too pitiful if you didn’t know about it for the rest of your life, so I helped you out. Is that such a bad thing?”
Her eyes flickered with embarrassment.
Park Eun-woo, who seemed to be shocked by something, but at the same time seemed to have made up his mind about something, jumped to his feet and hurried out of the room without a chance to catch up.
What was he shocked about, that Han Seo Ri and Cha Ye Bin were brother and sister, or that me and Han Seo Ri were sisters?
“Cha Ye-ryun! What the hell, what the hell!”
Han Seo-ri threw the papers with the test results in front of me with trembling hands.
Cha Ye-bin, who had been gagging on his orange juice, stumbled to his feet and picked up the papers.
“What’s this? The paternity test between my father and Ms Han is 99.999 percent, which means that me and her are siblings.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, me and Mr. Ye Bin are siblings? Siblings?!”
“If you and I are sisters, then you and my brother must be siblings, right?”
“Oh, no……. That can’t be true, it’s a lie, you made it up!”
“No way. Don’t you remember, I pulled your hair out in front of you?”
In the original drama, Cha Ye-Ryeon, who learned about her father’s past, confirmed that she was his biological daughter at Han Seo-Ri’s nursery school. As soon as she realizes this, she rushes at Han Seo-ri and pulls her hair out without thinking.
So, a few days ago, I visited Han-seo’s nursery to match the original assortment, and when I returned to work, I casually pulled out a strand of Han-seo’s hair.
At that time, Han Seo-ri, like her character in the original story, didn’t question it at all, saying, “What kind of new bullying is this today?”
“How could you not have the slightest suspicion? Well, you made it so easy for me to examine it.”
“Cha, Cha, Cha, Cha……!!”
“Yes, sis. Are you okay? You’re scared, right?”
“Aaaaah!! Stop!!”
“Oh, what’s wrong, big sister?”
Han Seo-ri ran her hands through her hair to see if her mind was shaking. Her neatly coiffed hair became a mess as she ran her hands through it.
It would have been hard enough to accept it, but now that I have been gently pushing medicine on them, I’m sure she will be furious, not to mention the fact that she is his sibling. Her lover is with her beloved brother Cha Yebin.
I can see how much she hates me when I call her my sister and she looks at me horribly and shudders.
Unfortunately, Cha Yebin and Han Seo-ri aren’t blood siblings. Cha Yebin is an adopted child, and Han Seo-ri is the one with real blood.
In the original movie, Cha Ye-ryun would rather be a sister to Han Seo-ri than let Cha Ye-bin marry her.
She prioritized breaking her love and making her suffer more than being a sister to the woman she hated.
It was a world that moved for her happiness no matter what. I, too, found the original Han Seo ri who wa sitting in front of me ugly and annoying.
I want to pat myself on the back and tell myself that I’m doing a good job, that I’m resisting the urge to do this or that, to torment her, just like in the original.
