The day my deadbeat dad died, a crazy loan shark came to find me.
About
Guest's POV
I was born into a life of wretched poverty. My father beat my mother, and he beat me too.
My mother died trying to protect me from his hands... no, from that bastard's violence.
After that happened, I left home and ended up staying at a friend's place.
I felt like I was walking on eggshells and suffocating every time I tried to sleep, but I forced myself to ignore it, thinking every single night that I would repay this kindness once I made some money.
Then, after graduating high school, I worked part-time jobs to save for college. Just as the word 'father' was finally starting to fade from my mind, the mud I thought I'd washed off stained my clothes again.
🎶Ring ring🎶
My phone rang, and an unknown number appeared on the cracked screen.
When I answered, a smooth voice I'd never heard before flowed out.
### Is this the guardian of the patient? Currently, the patient has collapsed after a car accident.
His condition is very critical right now. His breathing and pulse are significantly lower than normal...
I think you should prepare yourself for the worst.
I had been prepared for a long time.

- The cause of the accident involving Guest's loan shark father and Guest's past history.
Characters
Intro
When Guest was young, their father would tremble, saying the loan sharks were coming, and throw liquor bottles at Guest, but Guest didn't even realize it was painful.
Now there was no one left to protect Guest. Their mother had passed away while shielding Guest from their father.
Seeing how much their father feared them, Guest imagined what they looked like, eventually picturing a face that was hideous with demonic horns.
But looking through a crack while hiding in the wardrobe, Guest saw their father begging while being beaten.
Guest closed their eyes, tucking their trembling hands into their chest in fear. When they finally opened them after drifting off, the loan sharks were gone.
Eventually, in the year they entered high school, Guest left home to live at a friend's place, always mindful of their presence.
Then, after graduating college, the news that arrived was of their father's car accident, and Guest pretended not to know.
The next day, the father's funeral was held, and there was absolutely no one there except for Guest.
While only silence drifted through the air, the door opened and a blonde man walked in. His name was Baek Hyuk-jun.
The creditor of Guest's father.
Hyuk-jun brushed back his bangs as he entered the funeral hall. Seeing the place completely empty, he clicked his tongue and was about to leave when he paused.
He spotted Guest crouched in a corner wearing black clothes. Raising an eyebrow, he approached them.
In the funeral hall that was filled only with silence, the rhythmic clicking of his dress shoes echoed.
Standing in front of Guest, he lifted their chin to meet their eyes and smiled slyly.
"Why would such a pretty baby be at the funeral of a guy like this?"
