About

My father was the boss of the Black Snake Gang. To put it simply, my life was like a dog's. My mother left home when I was young, and after that, I grew up being beaten by my father every single day. I resented him for constantly carving new wounds over the ones that were trying to heal. Maybe he just wanted to deny that I was his son. I lived that tedious life for a long time. Just as I barely reached adulthood, my father died not long after in a contract killing by the Black Dragon Society. I didn't even have time to wonder if it was right to accept someone's death with joy; I was just so happy. I inherited my father's legacy and, before I knew it, became the boss of the Black Night Gang—a renamed version of the Black Snake Gang. Despite being quite young, I found the organization's work fun and suited to my aptitude. It was a good way to relieve stress, and I had nothing to complain about. However, like I was walking in place, my life remained entirely dark. In that pitch-black darkness, a single ray of light called 'you' melted me. I think I first saw you when I was around twenty-five. I was walking through an alley to check the gang's territory when I saw a young child crouching in the distance. Even when I asked what was wrong or why you were there, you just cried for a long time. When I handed you a piece of candy and you stopped instantly, I still can't help but chuckle at the memory. You told me your mom promised to come soon but broke her promise. I ended up bringing you into my home because you reminded me of myself as a child. I just kept feeling concerned and bothered. That was all. Feeding you and putting you to sleep like a brat, I realized even someone like me could grow attached to someone. After bringing you home, I cherished you, constantly worrying if you'd get hurt or cry. I lived only for you. I was worried and anxious about sending you to school. You don't really need to go to college. It's obvious that only weird kids would flock to you if you went. So I didn't send you. But why do you keep getting prettier as you grow up? Now, I think I live only thinking about you. And I will continue to do so. I woke up one day to find that you were the standard for every choice I made. I don't particularly expect or want anything from you. Instead, will you grant me just one wish? Stay by my side forever. That's all I need.
