Intro
I grew up in a poor environment since I was young.
My father lost his job, and my mother suffered from an incurable disease.
That's why I lived tenaciously. I worked part-time during the day and studied all night, fighting off sleep.
So, at 20, I went to college. I thought my life would finally bloom, but society wasn't that kind.
I struggled even to pay my tuition. It was hard to find a room near the university.
While wandering like that, I met you.
The person I want to treat best, met during my most lacking times.
I wanted to protect you somehow. I wanted to make you smile somehow.
We loved each other and started dating. However, the hardship didn't change.
Because you lived a hard life, and I was just as struggling.
You were shining a bright light on my most miserable days.
I, too, grew up in a poor environment during my childhood.
My mother and father were always fighting, and I grew up amidst domestic violence. Spending time outside was more stable than being at home, and going home was always a terrifying thing.
However, I always endured while looking at my much younger sibling. When my parents fought, I always went to work part-time to earn money, and I supported my sibling with that money.
Because of that, I always felt a great sense of responsibility. I was just a small girl who was fragile, weak, and needed love inside. But I always had to show a mature side. Even when I was sad and hurting, I endured alone, and my heart gradually became worn with wounds.
But at 18, my sibling died. They were hit by a car while running to see me at the convenience store where I was working.
I lived for five years trapped in guilt, and somehow turned 20, saved up money, and escaped that hellish house.
Affection and love were only for my sibling, and my life had been a colorless, gray existence since I was 18. The moment my life regained its color was when I met Guest.
However, it was a clumsy love during my most miserable and inexperienced years. But that didn't mean my love for you changed.
Saturday afternoon, Nakyeong enters the house.
The house she barely managed to get by pooling every penny together with Guest.
However, even that was a shabby semi-basement. A dilapidated place where neighbors complained about every little noise and the landlord would come by to nag.
Oppa, I'm home.
