166 – Leave it to your sister
Han Soo-young’s declaration that he would eventually draw his sword.
After being silent about this story for quite some time…
Are finally lifted her head and cautiously looked at her sister and carefully asked a question.
“please… Is that what you have to do?”
Desperation contained in caution.
But… the woman who was asking this question knew it too.
It was her sister’s decision, not anyone else’s.
It was a difficult decision made by her older sister, who is more compassionate and warm-hearted than anyone else in the world.
If it was the path she chose, it really meant that there was no other means.
However..
Nevertheless, Are had no choice but to ask the question once more.
She knew very well how much sacrifice she would have to make in the process of doing this.
At the same time, not someone else, but her own sister. Because I didn’t want to be the leader of such a sacrifice.
But.
Regarding her question, she…
Han Soo-young didn’t answer anything, just manipulated the phone in front of her and held it out in front of her.
Right after that… the voice that came out of it.
that..
– “I don’t know anything else, but I can tell you that very clearly. If it stays like this, we… and this country will all end.”-
“!…”
The voice of that person that can be heard so clearly.
Hearing this, Are’s face hardened as it was.
A diagnosis of the current state of the country, given by the man she trusted the most in the world, not by anyone else.
What this meant, Are was able to perceive very clearly.

Just like her older sister said, they now know that they have no future.
There is only one way left…
That the only way is to put human blood on human hands.
And that person…
That she is her own sister, not someone else.
Are begins to tremble while recognizing such a heartbreaking situation.
And, seeing her like that, Sooyoung slowly got up from her seat and started to approach her.
Then, Sooyoung gently hugged her younger sister.
Feeling the gentle warmth inside him, Are started to shed tears quietly.
“It’s okay, Areya.. just leave it to your sister, everything… everything. It’ll be fine…”
An older sister comforting her younger sister by patting her back.
Regarding this, Areh began to feel the pain in his heart that was already painful.
‘Isn’t it you who suffers the most?
The image of an older sister who thinks of others first in any situation.
Regarding this, Are feels grateful to her once again and just doesn’t say anything.
He wept in her arms.
*
A younger brother weeping in his arms.
Looking at her, Sooyoung began to smile quietly at the corner of her mouth.
A younger brother who grieves over the death of others and knows how to be heartbroken over it
Looking at her, who has lived a rough life, but still has a pure heart,
Swimming is starting to feel a bit of joy.
‘It’s something I always feel.. After all, you’re a really nice kid. Unlike me, my older sister…’
A younger brother who shares the same blood as himself, and who looks just like him.
But… Sooyoung knew.
That there was a huge difference between himself and his younger brother.
Are, who shows a cold appearance on the outside and does not easily reveal his heart.
However, contrary to his outward appearance, he was actually a person named Are who had a warm heart and at the same time had a personality that unexpectedly actively showed affection to the person he opened his heart to.
He may seem cold-hearted at first glance, but in reality he has a kind and caring personality.
But..
Whereas she.
The reality of a person named Han Soo-young was not like that.
On the outside, Han Soo-young is showing a warm smile to everyone, and showing an infinitely caring side to the people around her.
But..
She can’t reveal anything to anyone.
Even the two closest people, Are and Jinhyeon, had an unspeakably creepy side hidden.
that..
Contrary to appearances, her character was far from benevolent.
Of course, his feelings for Jinhyeon and Are, the closest people, and his daughter, Ran, were sincere.
For them, Sooyoung could always show a warm smile no matter what.
However… this is only a story limited to those three people.
In fact, even though she was smiling on the outside, she was actually a human being with attributes that were crueler than imagined.
Humans basically have a feeling of sympathy for their fellow human beings.
Even if the target was a terrible evil in the world, when they saw someone suffer or die, they couldn’t help but feel a momentary pleasure and a little bit of reluctance at the same time.
It could be said that it was the same reason that the executioner inevitably felt guilty.
However, for her…
Such feelings did not exist for a human named Han Soo-young.
‘Why should I suffer while killing bad guys? Of course you should do this with a smile. Even more so if it’s for the country.’
There is a price to be paid for a sin, much less if it is directly related to the lives of countless people, of course he was very willing to carry it out.
She can truly enjoy and do the work of tearing and killing objects she perceives as ‘evil’.
And now…
What Sooyoung decided to do this time…
In that respect, it could be said that it gave her deep anticipation, far from suffering.
Although it was regrettable that innocent people were injured to some extent in the process,
In fact, it was for this reason that she worried until the end.
However, except for those elements…
Regarding the ‘purge’ work that inevitably occurred in the process of carrying out this work, she did not feel the mental pain that Aare was worried about at all.
Rather, the emotion she was feeling at this moment was joy.. and pleasure.
But… nevertheless, Sooyoung didn’t bother to reveal this to Are.
And it was the same for Jinhyun.
This is a personal desire that swimming has..
It was because he had a wish that the relationship between his two beloved younger brothers and himself would continue as it is now.
As an older sister who always gives a benevolent smile as the cafe owner.
Even though she is in the position of president, she is a kind older sister who always cares for herself.
‘Sometimes there are secrets in the world that you don’t need to know. So, from now on, leave it to your older sister, my dear younger siblings..’
While thinking about that, Suyeong quietly soothed Are, who was still sad without knowing anything.
From a position where he couldn’t see his brother, with a cold smile.

The military of the Republic of Korea continues a fierce power struggle, divided into the Lee family, new forces, and neutral forces.
Then one day. As usual, an agenda began to come up between them, who continued their sluggish bickering, and the three forces began to seriously consider the issue.
This was also the case with the Lee family, one of them.
“It’s an advance on the Yalu River…”
“Um… ”
The rough outline was to secure as much territory as possible by taking advantage of the gap in the enemy’s forces created by the Battle of Kaesong, and it was an agenda containing the contents of requesting permission for military movement and support for this purpose.
“..Wouldn’t it be okay? Certainly, from my point of view, this work is a golden opportunity.”
“Yeah, that’s true, but…”
“The proposal itself is good, but I wonder if the other side will agree to it..”
“I’m worried about that too…”
No matter how good the agenda is, and furthermore, it is a necessary part for the country, but if there is a risk of benefiting the opposing faction or there is room for harm to them, the situation must be strongly opposed.
And as this is the same on the other side, the Lee family only notices in this regard.
I was not recklessly pushing this forward.
So, at that time when this agenda, like other important agendas, was showing signs of passing by…
“…I’m sorry, but I’ll say something.”
After the ‘incident’… a person who had been silent all along.
He was the head of the Lee family in the past, and at the same time he was actually leading the country.
Former Vice Minister Lee Jae-min
As he, who had been holding his post formally, began to speak out, the Lee family’s attitude toward the agenda began to change.
