Chapter 54

While Shin was battling his final demons, Yoon-Yi was waging an internal war with her rising panic. A few moments ago, Kim Jong-Seo had called for her and the moment she entered his room, Yoon-Yi realized what it was all about. Somehow, her instincts made her mind clearly see the reason why Min Byun-Ho and his father were kneeling to the left of her uncle.

The moment she entered, all eyes turned towards her, and she felt suffocated. All of a sudden her throat was too tight and not enough air reached her brain. She felt dizzy but fought hard not to let it show. Yoon-Yi was stubborn after all, and wanted to maintain a certain level of dignity, even while inside her head she was panicking like crazy.

After she bowed to her uncle and to his guests, Yoon-Yi walked slowly towards the left side of the room. The only sound that could be heard was the shuffling of her skirt across the floor. She was surprised that no one could hear the loud thumps of her heart.
