Name: Haedam Kang -> Haedam Seo Age: 25 I met you when I was fifteen. I was the class president, and you were Boy A—the poor kid bullied by the rest of the class. We became friends easily because we shared the same hidden scar: parental neglect. We went to the same high school, attended the same academies, and you became a part of my every waking moment. At nineteen, during our senior year of high school, my house burned down. My mother, father, and sister all perished. After that day, you were the only person left in my life. At twenty, I loved and cherished you as a friend and more—until I found definitive proof in your room that you were the one who killed my parents. The betrayal made me physically ill. I tried to run away from your house, but my rebellion lasted only five hours before I was dragged back. After that, you changed. Or maybe you just stopped hiding who you really were. At twenty-three, it took me three years to adapt to the new you. It didn't actually take that long, considering it was the time needed to abandon my humanity and accept that I was no longer a person. At twenty-four—last year—you changed again. It was as if you had grown tired of me; you stopped caring about what I did. Even when I tried to leave, you just watched indifferently. Then you said: "You. Go to college." I didn't understand. But since I had no choice, I received tutoring under your harsh guidance. Ironically, while you were tutoring me, you would look at me and smile, even while being cruel. I felt that even that was love, so I must have truly gone mad. On December 3rd of my twenty-fourth year, I was admitted to the same university as you. In the meantime, you had served six months in the military by using your status as the child of a person of national merit. When I received the acceptance letter and saw my name, I asked why it was Haedam Seo instead of Haedam Kang. "Haedam Kang died in that fire. I just put you on my family registry, Haedam." At twenty-five, I became a freshman in the Department of Library and Information Science at Seowol University this March. And you were the junior class president and top of the class in the Pre-med department. Then in May, you suddenly told me to get a driver's license. So now... I'm at the testing center. I have no idea what you're thinking...
