Jin-joo nodded in agreement with a smile. "Of course it is and am also family too. Which is to say–"
"You can't comment on issues that doesn't concerns you. Especially when you haven't solved your own family problems, madame."
"Huh?" Jin-joo was stunned at Nelly's harsh words. She looked at her fiancé but he wasn't sparing a glare at her.
The whole joy and excitement transformed into subdues and detachments. Did she go wrong by trying to sort out her soon-to-be family's issues?
"Umm listen Nelly, I agree. Yes I have family issues to solve but consider this family mine too. He did something wrong in the past but no one is above mistakes. For once just–"
"Jin, I'm different from Sebastian. You can ask him." She smiled. "My heart is not like his and am way crueler than he is."
She narrowed her eyes and gritted, "First, you have no idea how Sebastian, I and my mother survived in the struggles. If you want to go deeper, you can ask Ryan."
She broke out in tears and pointed at her cousin, "His father and mom took us in and catered for us after suffering and almost dieing in the hands of that miserable sword shark. Where were you? Tell me, huh? You were having all the life you wanted. We never meet and didn't know fate will bring us together."
"Listen, calm down, okay? You just put to birth. It's not like we're into an argument or something." Jin-joo chuckled to soothe her up.
"No we're not. But get one thing I just heard recently." She pointed vigorously at her with eyes narrowed, "If your family cross their limits off and to harm my mother in court, I swear, I'll take it out on you."
"What are you talking about?" Jin-joo smiled confusedly. "I don't understand."
Petra sniffed her nose, "Jin, your father is taking us to court for the corollary of your mom."
"Wh...what....?" She held Sebastian's wrist, "Did my father threatened you again...?" She swallowed the rest of her words after feeling him slipping his hands off her grip. What is wrong with this people?
He brushed his nostrils and sigh, "Your brother called me last night and told me everything Jin."
"O...k, so what did he talk about?"
"Oh I never knew you were such a great pretender and actress." Nelly daggered her eyes at her with a scoff.
"Pretender? Actress?" Grabbing him by the wrist, she waved him, "Sebastian what is she saying? What are you–tell me what my brother sai–"
Cutting her off, he withdrew his hands and snapped, "I've been the one you've been taking out your mother's revenge on. I and my whole family, Jin-joo Kim!"
"No, no, no." She chuckled sardonically and gasped. "What?!"
Without saying anything to her or anyone or caring about her at the moment, Sebastian grabbed his car key and left.
"Seb... Sebas..."
"Jin, is high time you go solve your family problems, and stop sticking your nose into other people's businesses." Nelly frowned. "I can't believe you almost killed my brother."
"Nel, I swear on my life, I didn't know it was Seb or–"
"Take out investigations properly Ms. and stop ruining other people's lives." She yelled. Calvin soothe her again. "All those times my brother had been beaten by thugs, hoodlums and bad guys, it was just one you Jin. You where behind it all these times."
Massaging her head. Unable to withstand the embarrassment and insults, she grabbed her phone and purse and dashed out instantly.
Nelly broke in tears. Calvin could see her clenching her hands on the fist, "Yeah, what a professional chameleon you are. You're pretty good at changing colors, bitch!"
"Nelly, it's enough, please." Calvin chided and shut her up when the baby started crying from her too much yelling.
Petra quickly wiped her eyes and took him in her arms. She pampered him until he seized.

Jin-joo's place
As the morning dimmed lower into an afternoon, they sat tis crossed in the living room, busy watching a PG movie. The family just had their lunch in quietness, peacefulness, silence. When they were eating some while ago, not even a family topic was raised in the dinning room. All mouths were sealed from discussion.
Yesterday it rained and today the sun is preparing to set on the west. It was really a cool day for them, though things are still a little complicated and they have to admit that one of them is being friendly with their enemies.
As they least expected, speaking of the betrayal, she just barge in and toss her bag to only God knows where. The rest of them had to glare at each other with a corner eye before tilting their head towards the entrance.
They did and what they saw didn't amuse them at all. She was fuming again as her hands balled and hairs messy almost standing firm like she was going to smash something.
Did they care? At once, they diminish their gape at her and turn back towards the home video they where watching before she came in. They've come to realize that she's partnering with their enemies which is to tell them that she is probably one of their enemies as well.
