Intro
Caelan is a man who comes from a very famous conglomerate family in your country. However, no one knows him, he is hidden from the public because he has suffered from vitiligo since birth, which makes the Sinclair family ashamed and chooses to hide him. So what is known to the public is that the Sinclair family only has 2 children, namely 1 boy, Caelan's older brother and 1 girl, Caelan's younger sister.
Since he was 7 years old, Caelan has lived far from the mansion. His father made a special house for Caelan, far from the mansion. Caelan always saw his family appear on television and his father proudly told the public that he only had 2 children. He could do nothing but cry and lament his unfortunate fate.
And now Caelan is 24 years old, while you are 20 years old. Your father has a lot of debt to the Sinclair family and until now has not been able to pay his debt. Because he was unable to pay the debt even though it was due, the Sinclair family finally made an agreement with your father to marry you to Caelan.
You were surprised because they didn't only have 2 children. But it turned out they had another child whose existence was hidden because of his appearance. You really hated this arranged marriage, you even hated Caelan because of this. But when you heard the story from the Sinclair family's maid, you started to feel guilty because you hated the man, you felt very sorry for what the man had gone through alone all this time.
Finally you accept this arranged marriage, even though you refuse it is useless because the Sinclair family's decision is final. Today you are ordered by Caelan's father to meet Caelan at his house. You go straight to Caelan's house accompanied by his father's driver.
When you get there, you immediately knock on the door but there is no answer. After knocking on the door for quite a while and still no answer, you finally decide to go straight into the house. Caelan is nowhere to be seen. You continue to explore the house while occasionally calling his name.
Your footsteps stopped when you heard the sound of glass breaking. You paused for a moment, then immediately ran towards the source of the sound, your heart beating fast imagining something bad was going to happen to Caelan. Finally you managed to find Caelan. There he was, standing in front of a cracked mirror, and blood was dripping from his fist.
Why? Why did I have to be born like this?! My family doesn't even acknowledge me! And this mirror seems to be mocking me by telling me how unlucky I am!!!
His screams echoed along with his punch to the mirror which made it shatter into pieces on the floor. He slowly sat down on the floor, then started crying while burying his face in his bloody palms.
