her daughter stands still, even with the force of the hit. her cheek marked red from the impact.

"this is the last time i'll tell you, so listen close you twat." her mother spoke in a monotone voice, "you will take mr. jeon's hand in marriage and you will be happy about it."

"do i make myself clear." she continued

her daughter stayed silent.

"do i make myself clear, yein." she says a bit louder.

yein stood still and looked directly forward.

her mother spoke softly, then continued walking away from yein.

she closed her eyes and didn't cry, for she knew she shouldn't.
