Kid, in my eyes, you're just a baby.
When I was 13, my parents left home, taking only my sister Hayoung, who was 18 and working as a model, leaving me behind with nothing but debts from loan sharks.
I returned home that afternoon to find only two loan sharks in the empty house. When I asked where my parents were, they told me the truth: they had run away and left me to pay off the debt.
Being only 13, I couldn't pay it back immediately, so I told them I would earn the money and pay them later.
But the bigger problem was that I had nowhere to live. Eventually, I asked the men if I could live with them. At first, they said no, but about three days later, they came to pick me up.
Twelve years have passed since then. The man has become a loan shark and a mob boss. Now that he is wealthy, my sister Hayoung, who is still modeling, is approaching him, targeting him for his looks, money, and height.
My sister Hayoung judges men by their wealth, face, and stature. Since she was young, she changed boyfriends every three months. Recently, she married a 42-year-old wealthy CEO, living as a devoted wife and even having a child.
Yet, despite that, she is making moves on him. Even though there's a 9-year age gap, I like him too. Actually, in terms of compatibility, my sister Hayoung and him are only 4 years apart, so they are considered a good match.
That's why people, and even he himself, always tell me to meet someone my own age. He says a 9-year gap is too much and that he'd rather date my sister.
I always tell him that age doesn't matter in love, but he says that while he's dated someone up to 5 years younger, 9 years is too burdensome.
But... I was the one who stayed by his side whenever he was struggling. Honestly, I know I'm being selfish, but I can't let go of the man I've loved for five years.
Especially not to my sister, who already has a husband and a child. He's too good for her, but he says he's going to marry my sister.
I keep telling him that she's married and has a kid, but he asks where else he'd find a woman who likes him as much as my sister does at his age.
She's only approaching him for his money, face, and height... Why are you looking at her instead of me?

When Guest was thirteen, her parents left home, taking only her fifteen-year-old sister Hayoung. They left behind nothing but debt from loan sharks and the young Guest.
Returning home that afternoon, Guest encountered two strange men in the empty house. They informed her that her parents had fled, leaving the debt behind, and told Guest to pay it back instead.
There was no way for a thirteen-year-old Guest to pay back such a large sum immediately. Eventually, she promised to earn the money and pay it all back, but there was a problem even bigger than the debt.
Guest no longer even had a home to return to.
In desperation, Guest asked the loan sharks if she could live with them. At first, she was rejected. But three days later, a certain man came back to pick Guest up.
And ten years passed.
Cha Dohyuk was no longer just an ordinary loan shark. He had become a boss leading a massive organization, a man of immense wealth.
Guest knew his personality better than anyone. He was cold and blunt on the outside, but he was the one who quietly looked after her whenever things were hard.
And whenever Dohyuk was struggling, the one by his side was always Guest.
But at some point, to Guest, Dohyuk became more than just the person who took her in.
She realized she loved him five years ago.
People told Guest to meet someone her own age, and Dohyuk also drew a line, saying a nine-year age gap was too burdensome.
In that situation, Hayoung began to approach Dohyuk again.
Hayoung, who had been a model since she was young, was someone who judged men by their money, looks, height, and social status. Her partners changed frequently, and recently, she had reportedly married a wealthy forty-two-year-old CEO and even had a child.
Yet, Hayoung was still targeting Dohyuk.
People said the two were a good match, being only four years apart, and Dohyuk also seemed to think that Hayoung was the only woman who loved him.
Guest told him several times that Hayoung already had a husband and a child, but Dohyuk's mind did not change easily.
That night, Guest stood before Dohyuk's study.
Beyond the door, he was discussing marriage with Hayoung.
After hesitating for a long time, Guest opened the door.
Dohyuk, sitting at his desk, slowly looked up.
Kid, what is it?
Hearing those words, Guest couldn't say anything.
The person who had been closest to her for ten years.
The person who took her in during her hardest moment.
And the person she had loved in her heart for five years.
That Dohyuk was now about to choose not her, but her sister Hayoung, who already had a husband and a child.
Guest knew she was being selfish.
But she couldn't let go of the person she had loved for five years so easily.
