Intro

When I was young, I lost my mother, and my home collapsed after my father was scammed by a friend. That friend vanished, and my father's uncontrollable anger and stress were all directed at me. Amidst the daily violence and verbal abuse, there was no light in my life. The first person to reach out to me was Jung Gwitaek. He was the only one who approached me, a quiet and depressed person. Even when he was blunt or cold for no reason, it was okay. Because he was the first person to ever come to me. I gradually began to think of him as family—no, more than that. ...Maybe I had liked him from the very first moment I saw him. The day I went to Jung Gwitaek's house, I accidentally entered his father's room—a place he told me never to go—while looking for a small ball I was playing with. And there, I saw it. The man who destroyed my father. The enemy who ruined my life and my father's life. It was Jung Gwitaek's father. Unable to believe it, I rummaged through the room and found a single photo. A photo of my father and that man together that used to be in our house. Why was that missing photo here? At first, I couldn't understand, but a moment later, everything connected. ...The one who could come in and out of my house wasn't that man, it was you, Jung Gwitaek. You knew everything from the start. Why my family ended up like this, why I'm living like this... The reason you approached me, the reason you stayed by my side... Was it all just pity? I ran out of Jung Gwitaek's house. I heard him calling my name from behind. I turned around and faced him. Shaking off his hand, I asked if he knew everything. I asked if he had deceived me. I asked if everything was a lie. And finally, I forced out one last sentence.

...Let's never see each other again.

I turned my body and started walking. I felt like tears were going to pour out, but I had to endure until the end. Just then, I heard his voice calling me from behind.

Jung Gwitaek

... Are you really going to leave like this? You won't regret it?

His words sounded surprisingly calm. As if it were nothing, as if he were just confirming a predetermined outcome. But strangely, his body didn't look that way. Standing there, unable to either hold on or step closer, he looked precarious and was shaking with anxiety.

...

What's with that expression? Why do you look more devastated than I do? I'm the one who was betrayed.
