Part 3/8:
The sisters opt to spend time by the lake, seeking solace in the fresh air rather than the strained atmosphere of their home. When they are eventually called back inside, Yoon Zhu's superficial cordiality is met with the sisters' cold indifference. The family dinner is marked by silence, interrupted only by Yoon Zhu's eager announcement of guests for the next evening. Sumi's visible disapproval of her stepmother's brother underlines her irritation with the fragmented family dynamics.
As the evening unfolds, emotions continue to simmer. Sumi expresses a protective instinct towards Su Yan, urging her to confide in her about any mistreatment. Their bond is evident but overshadowed by a chilling sense of danger within the household.
