6. Take Your hands off

1080 Words
Tewon and I rushed into the room together — the very room where, just minutes ago, my sister's happiest moments were being celebrated. Now everything glowed in completely different colors. Darkness had settled in — not literal darkness, not the absence of light, but the darkness of uncertainty. The music was off. The guests stood frozen, exchanging uneasy glances with one another. Yes… no one knew about the marriage. No one. Their company forbids singers from dating. And marriage? Marriage is unthinkable. Absolutely forbidden. The scene unfolding before us was frightening even for Tewon himself and all of the people who attended the party. But me? I stood there strangely calm — unnaturally calm — watching everything with quiet focus. Every face. Every movement. Although …the guests who had just stormed in and thrown the entire place into chaos. Dozens of security guards,The company's CEO — its founder And several managers standing close behind him. Of course, Jae had planned to tell them.But not today.Not now.This was supposed to be a small, closed gathering —a quiet celebration within a trusted circle.Nothing more.No announcements.No explanations.No truths laid bare under harsh light.Just a moment stolen from the world before everything inevitably collapsed. CEO Mr. Nab Is-Yuk had grabbed Jae by the collar —and the sight was simply unreal. Physical confrontation was something unheard of for them.Touching someone like that, resolving a problem with fists — it didn't belong to their world-(or maybe I had No Idea about it) Unlike my homeland, where fistfights, gunfire, and knives —( illegal yes But) — are still disturbingly commonplace. But here, in this so-called orderly, corrupted country , even police officers don't carry guns on their bodies while patrolling the city streets. And yet —here he was a CEO with his hand clenched into the collar of a man the entire world worships. That alone told me everything: this wasn't damage control anymore.This was panic. And despite knowing all of this, I am simply standing there,feeling Tewon's gaze on me. Perhaps he is more worried about me than about what's happening —because I'm watching my sister with the same unnatural calm. She is on the verge of shattering, about to fall apart in tears,so helpless in this room full of strangers, surrounded by dozens of security guards. She doesn't even know what to do or how to help the man she just married —a man who is moments away from being struck. Yes. This is that company. The kind that won't hesitate over anything. The kind that will stop at nothing to protect its own skin, its reputation, its carefully polished image —even if it means sacrificing the very artists who made it powerful.They will drain them to the last drop, and if necessary…they won't hesitate to destroy them as well. But there is one thing our CEO keeps forgetting —something he has desperately needed to be reminded of for the past few years like water in a drought. I look at Tewon with a completely unreadable gaze.He doesn't dare intervene.I focus intensely, trying to take in the situation clearly, trying to find a way to pull those two out of here —at least for tonight. But there's a problem. I don't speak their Asian language (or rather — I understand it but I can't speak it). They don't understand my language. And speaking English…doesn't sound nearly intimidating enough.It doesn't carry fear. It doesn't command silence. So—!!!Ding!!! There is one more language. One I understand perfectly. One I speak fluently. And if you use it with the right tone, with the right calm, it can sound terrifying. Without even turning toward him, I speak to Tewon — I catch his open-mouthed shock from the corner of my eye. -Do you have anyone here who speaks Turkish?Or someone who is Turkish? He glances at me sideways. -What?! Turkish? -Do you want me to repeat the question?If not, then bring someone who speaks your language — and Turkish as well.Can't you see what's happening right in front of us? I gave the order as if he were my manager.And without a single word, Tewon left to find someone With questionable eyes still on me. Yes… once again, I was certain of it—This is not the man who can stand beside me. There was no time left to wait —security had already grabbed Jae by the arms. And I… I walk toward this hand-to-hand scene with measured, deliberate steps,though only God knows what hides behind my calm poker face. My heels strike the floor with a sharp, echoing rhythm.The hem of my black, backless dress glides across the floor like dark waves,the fabric clinging to my body, tracing every curve without mercy. Is-Yuk's hand is still clenched in Jae's collar, while security restrains him with both arms. My blood isn't just boiling —it's evaporating from the heat, thinning out, burning away. Moving forward to them And my patience, the moment I see their faces up close, is being drained drop by drop. This is the exact moment when holding back from cursing becomes nearly impossible for me — when someone should really cover my mouth so I don't say straight to his face the words he deserves the most. But the tension is already razor-sharp, and I don't want to escalate it. I want to use this situation — to turn it in my favor.(!!! In ours. !!!) I step in front of Is-Yuk suddenly, like an apparition. My face is unchanged —eyes dark, vibrations— terrifying, my energy —cold as ice. Even I am frightened by my own presence in this moment. This strength comes from a place where my mind is fully armed, fully awake —ready to protect my sister and my brother-in-law. To protect my Family — sister, the friend, who gave me a Home when I had none. Is-Yuk looks at me, studying the statue standing before him — and I realize he is still gripping my brother-in-law by the collar. That's it. My patience has run out completely. —!!! -Take Your hands Off my brother‑in‑law Right now !!! Hello dear readers *_* How are yo feeling today? What about this chapter ?
