memory?”
Something stirred inside her when he mentioned her father.
Despite this, Yoori kept her composure.
“Then I guess it’s a good thing that Tae Hyun and I are over, right?” she stated with cool conviction. Resolution saturated her eyes. “I’m done with him, I’m done with Soo Jin, I’m done with you, and I’m done with the Underworld.”
He smiled at her in pity . “You can be done with Tae Hyun, you can be done with me , but can you really be done with Soo Jin?”
Yoori didn’t answer because she knew the truth. Instead, she chose this moment to leave because she knew another emotional breakdown was coming. She was feeling anguish from Tae Hyun, Ji Hoon, and now from Soo Jin. She was afraid of what would happen to her mental state if she didn’t leave soon.
“I . . . I have to go.”
Yoori knew the truth. She knew as she drove away that she could try all she wanted, but there would be no escaping this world. Whether she wanted it or not, in the end, she would always end up back in the Underworld. No matter how hard she tried to fight against it, the truth was that she had too many ties in this society. If Tae Hyun hadn’t brought her into this world, then someone else would’ve. Someone else would’ve found her because she was living in the very city where this world reigned; someone else would’ve found her because this was An Soo Jin’s world. The only one meant to survive in this society was An Soo Jin—not the poor, weak Yoori who was so broken that she wondered how much longer she could hold on to her own life.
I was never meant to exist , Yoori brooded as she drove in agonized silence. She was never meant to exist and from the look of things, Yoori had the innate feeling she wouldn’t exist for much longer. This was An Soo Jin’s world—An Soo Jin’s life—and when the time arose and Soo Jin came back to reclaim the life that was rightfully hers, Choi Yoori would be nothing but a mere memory.
This thought pained Yoori because despite all the torment she felt (and despite the difficulty of being associated with this vindictive world), she still wanted to live. She wanted to live because she didn’t want to be taken away from the life she had created for herself. She didn’t want to forget about the people she loved. Most importantly, she didn’t want the monster inside her to come out.
Her conversation with Jung Min flashed in her mind, and Yoori knew that she could no longer avoid the inevitable truth. She hated Tae Hyun, but she would never allow anyone to hurt him. And right now, the biggest threat wasn’t Ji Hoon, the Advisors, or the Underworld —the biggest threat was her Underworld counterpart. The Queen of the Underworld may do everything in her power to kill Tae Hyun, but Yoori would do everything in her power to protect him.
Yoori inhaled sharply, finally accepting the reality of her life.
Jung Min was right.
He had been right all along.
A war was coming, but this particular war was not between herself and Tae Hyun; it was between herself and An Soo Jin.
And for the sake of everything she loved in this world, Yoori prayed she’d win this war. She prayed she’d be able to bury Soo Jin, and not allow Soo Jin to bury her .
“And the weak. . .”
04: Greater Pain
It took Yoori the entire day at the library to recover from the night prior. Tae Hyun, Chae Young, Ji Hoon, and Soo Jin continued to haunt her. The only solace she found was in the stories she escaped into. Reading was like a drug. The instant she took her dosage, she would forget about her pain, forget about the damning world she lived in, and forget about the dramas of her life. Yoori knew she couldn’t dwell in the world of books forever, but she wanted to stay in it for a bit longer. Just a bit longer until she found a job, recovered from everything that happened to her, got on with her life, and continued to keep An Soo Jin at bay. One could only
