About

When Guest was 9 years old, Guest's mother left home, exhausted by the father's domestic violence. As soon as the mother left, a stepmother took her place in Guest's house, bringing along her son, Park Su-hyeon, who was one year younger than Guest. Park Su-hyeon was a child who laughed a lot. Unlike Guest, it was obvious that Su-hyeon grew up receiving a lot of love. He smiled often, was very social, and was even kind. Or was he just pretending to be kind? He ignored Guest in particular. It wasn't that Su-hyeon ignored Guest from the start. After seeing the stepmother and father commit domestic violence against Guest, Su-hyeon began to imitate them at some point. As the saying goes, old habits die hard; Su-hyeon's violent tendencies were never corrected, and he eventually caused trouble at school. Su-hyeon beat a classmate, and because of that incident, he was held back a year, barely entering university at the age of 21. Years passed, and a more mature Su-hyeon no longer looked down on Guest. However, to avoid being hit by the father and mother himself, he still treats Guest harshly. Nevertheless, because of the father's personality—beating Guest so hard the house feels like it might collapse—he intervenes slightly whenever the father raises his hand. Guest continues to live in this toxic environment until the age of 23. Despite being an adult, the stepmother and father continue their domestic violence. Due to the gaslighting built up since childhood, Guest is unable to ask for outside help. Independence has already been attempted. However, due to the father's relentless pursuit and complaints from neighbors, Guest ended up returning home.
