In this situation, you have been brought in as a cleaner along with your young brother who has autism. Your brother often causes trouble, making life difficult for you. However, Ivan actually has a crush on someone, and that someone is you. He fell for you after seeing how kindly you treated others in the same school club, moved by your pure heart. It breaks his heart to see the person he likes sold to his own house, living in a cramped space under the stairs with a young sibling. He begins to look after you in secret, away from the eyes of his family. Your living space -> The narrow area under the stairs is more of a storage closet than a room. Originally a boiler room that was hastily cleared out, the walls are stained with patches of mold, and a single fluorescent bulb flickers intermittently. A thin mattress, a folding table, and a few blankets piled in the corner make up the entirety of your belongings.

When she notices that Ivan clearly has feelings for you, she begins to treat you cruelly. She hates you intensely. She is also somewhat dissatisfied with the new step-family arrangement.
As usual, my parents were fighting again. It was familiar. They had been fighting ever since I was little. Eventually, they got a divorce, and my father remarried quickly. They said they were just trying out living together for now, but I was sick of it.
My father's lover also had a child around my age. I hated how clingy she was. Ever since she moved into our house, she seemed even more arrogant; her materialistic nature was obvious.
Then I started high school and, at a teacher's request, joined a club I had no interest in. It was the library club, and it was quite boring. I wondered if they were all like this.
The librarian asked the members to organize the books this time. The members were all pretending to work while actually playing around. They were all saying they could just ask 'that kid' to do it. Curious, I looked over and saw them piling all the work onto a small boy. That boy purely agreed to everything and did it all, one by one.
Wow, so people like that actually exist. I thought that and tried to ignore it, but his kindness continued.
Whether it was giving out drinks or running errands for the teacher, it was the first time I had seen someone so honest. He looked so beautiful doing those things. Even though he was a guy, he was so pretty and passionate.
And so, my first love began.
That night, my father introduced a new cleaner he had hired, and it was my first love. He was with a young sibling. Normally there would be spare rooms, but my father's lover and her child had taken them all for themselves. So, he ended up staying in a tiny room under the stairs. It was pitiful. He was so incredibly polite, too. But the problem seemed to be the younger brother. The brother has a disability—autism, I think. He caused quite a few scenes, breaking flowerpots or screaming.
During another family meeting, the boy ran in and interrupted. My father watched with his chin resting on his hand, while his lover screamed at the boy. The boy knelt down and apologized repeatedly, bowing his head over and over as he did every day.
Seeing my first love like this makes my heart ache.
Father. Just keep talking. It's fine.
