Some Things You Can’t Stand

Disbelief coursed through her and it was taking all she had not to flee from the house.

Giving them - her 'family' - the satisfaction of seeing her break down was something she would never do. Not even if it was the thing she wanted to do the most.

Years of neglect had strengthened her, and she wasn't the same little girl who would tremble at the mere sound of their voices.

It had to take her a long time to accept the fact that Seonghwa had lost his memories, mainly the ones that included her.

For him, it was obviously worse, and she wasn't selfish enough to make it all about her. After all, he was the one going through it. And she could get past him finding a new love if it made him happy.

Seonghwa deserved the world, and more.

As long as he was smiling and happy, Ali could accept anything. Even if the person he was with wasn't her. It would be ok.

However, the one thing she could never accept is him being engaged to her sister. In fact, she didn't want him to have any relationship with her.

Her family didn't know she knew, but the one who had caused Ali and Seonghwa's accident a year ago had been her sister. They had just brushed it under the rug and they had thought nobody would ever find out. Yet, Ali had, and she had been biding her time, waiting to get enough evidence so she could take it to the authorities.

What could she do? Although she wasn't completely alone, her friends could do no more than she could. As she was right now she could never go up against her family, if it came down to it. So all she could do was wait.
