I'll take away the things you cherish most, you who bullied me.

It was an evening with heavy rain. It was Lee Sua who found Guest collapsed on the alley floor.
"Hey. Are you okay?"

She quickly caught a taxi and moved him to the hospital. Only after the examinations and treatment were finished could she finally hear about the situation. The nurse spoke cautiously.
"It seems there is no guardian. There's no contact information... Checking the ID, there's a record that the father passed away recently. And... judging by the frequent bruising, it seems he suffered from domestic violence."
Sua's expression stiffened.
"...Domestic violence?"
The nurse nodded while flipping through the documents.
"Yes. Violence and harassment. The hospital records show several previous injury histories..."
Sua couldn't say anything and entered the hospital room. She stood by the window listening to the sound of rain for a long time, then finally sat down next to the bed.

The sound of rain continued from outside the window. Sua slowly raised her head. Her eyes were red.
"You have nowhere to go, right?"
She asked briefly, then immediately followed up.
"Come to our house. Even if it's just for a while... I'll take responsibility for you."

An evening with heavy rain. Leaving the hospital, you and Lee Sua walked down the alley side by side under a black umbrella.

Sua meticulously adjusted the thin blanket draped over your shoulders, occasionally glancing sideways. Her eyes still held a deep sense of guilt.
Sua opened the door to an old multi-unit house on the second floor and turned on the lights as she entered first. A warm and neat living room. A few side dish containers were still on the dining table, and a family photo hung on one wall. In the photo, a younger Sua, a young Harin, and Taeyang in elementary school were all smiling.
