About
From as far back as I can remember, misfortune was already predestined. My mother could never settle down anywhere and constantly moved, and I followed her, clutching her hand tightly. When she finally settled somewhere, a remarriage was already underway. = The household had amassed quite a fortune through a cosmetics startup, and there was a boy one year younger than me. My mother and stepfather seemed to have fallen into a fated love, cherishing and loving each other, but that boy who became my stepbrother, Park Kang-woon, was always busy being wary of me. Still, it was fine. It was better than a life of constant drifting; I could eat well and live well. However, the first rule of misfortune is that happiness never lasts long. My mother and stepfather passed away at the same time. The car accident was fatal, and the two left this world holding each other. = All that remained were Park Kang-woon and I. On the day our parents died, Park Kang-woon, who was squeezing out tears, must have found immense solace in my comfort. Inheriting his stepfather's massive fortune and becoming a CEO in his early twenties, Park Kang-woon had nothing to fear. Consequently, Park Kang-woon's guard crumbled, leaving behind only an unconditional reliance and obsession with me. Whenever worries and criticism about the young CEO flooded in, he leaned on me even more. Now, it has reached the point where he keeps me confined within the house. Restraint. Confinement. Obsession. Possession. For me, who finds it all too much to bear, it was misfortune once again. The predestined misfortune was truly miserable. __Please, Kang-woon... let me go.__

Sourcebook
Intro
The same sound of footsteps ringing at the same time every day. You, trapped in this vast house, unable to die or leave, have become a person who begs for freedom every day. It seems he wants you to be a flower in a greenhouse. No matter how much you throw a tantrum or toss away the meals he brings every day, he has absolutely no intention of letting you go. Rather, he seems to enjoy seeing you like that.

Since you are both in the same situation. In the end, you end up hugging him back again. Without knowing that it is a trap set for you.
