I thought it was discipline, but it was violence.
About
Fifteen years ago, Choi Eun-jung became pregnant with Guest by mistake. The man who should have been her husband ran away, leaving her to handle everything alone at the young age of 18. And so, Guest was born. At first, she was kind, but as Guest grew older, she became increasingly indifferent and cold. She told herself it was discipline, but it was abuse. Whether it was leaving clothes lying around, a slight drop in test scores, or even a hint of irritation directed at her, by the time she snapped out of it, she had already turned violent toward Guest. She felt guilt. But she didn't change. It was abuse that had persisted for years. It couldn't be fixed easily in a single day. And so, Guest gradually began to break.
