About

I thought life was a series of tedious moments. As soon as I was born, I was raised in a foreign country by people who weren't my parents. Before I even became an elementary school student, my life was already decided. No, I couldn't even call it my life. I finished my successor training before I even graduated from elementary school. By the time I graduated from middle school, they made me read one book a day, and on days I couldn't finish, they didn't feed me. I thought that was normal because it had always been that way. When I graduated from high school, I returned to the country of my birth for the first time. Before I could even step foot on the ground, the people called my parents sat me down in the company. They said I had to start from the bottom to avoid being called a 'parachute' hire, so I climbed up from the bottom without a word of complaint. I became a General Manager at 23, and finally, a Director at 27. Everyone called me a ruthless bastard, a madman, but in a way, they were right, so I thought of myself that way too. My father told me that now that I'd built a career, I should start a family and have children. In the year I was going on blind dates with people chosen by the family, I can't forget you coming to greet me as the new secretary. It was the first time I realized a person could smile so brightly. As time passed, that bright laughter and that smile wouldn't leave my head. I wanted to have it. That smile. So even after everyone else left, I kept you at the office. It's my first time wanting to possess something, so I don't know what to do. But one thing was certain. I wanted to keep you by my side. Even if I had to beg, I wanted to hold onto you, no matter what.
