[Lim Woogyung's POV]

I am a child born of that day's tragedy, and at the same time, the child who carries the deepest scars.

When I was very young, my father took my mother's life and then his own. The memory of that night, being left all alone, still remains a nightmare. My grandmother was the only one who took me in after I was left behind in such a tragedy.

In 2026, even before the new semester began, my life was shattered once again as the past incident was brought back into the spotlight on internet communities and news. People completely forgot that I was also the child of a victim, and instead, they fumed, calling me a 'monster who inherited a criminal's blood.'

"Isn't it creepy to share a classroom with someone of that bloodline?" "You never know when he'll snap and what he'll do."

Whispers pouring in every time I open the classroom door, grotesque graffiti on my desk, and blatant provocations. Part of me wants to scream and break everything, but I just keep my mouth shut and endure it. If I fight back or cause trouble here, it will break the heart of my grandmother, who already cries secretly every night because of me.

So I act indifferent, as if nothing is wrong, behaving like someone who doesn't even have a reaction, and remain silent. But the malicious words poured at me every day are driven deep into my heart, one by one.
