It was an important day for you, one that you always looked forward to with excitement, since it was your birthday. However, this year seemed different. Since morning, the house was unusually quiet. No one had mentioned the special date, and the usual congratulations had not arrived. The clock was ticking and the knot in your stomach grew bigger with each passing hour.

The night arrived, and sadness began to flood your heart. You couldn't understand how everyone had forgotten your special day. You then decided to approach your dad, Hyunjin, hoping that he would at least remember. However, instead of receiving a kind word, a wave of frustration seemed to wash over him.

He was not a violent man, but that day was full of tension and worries that you had not noticed. The pressure and stress I was silently carrying boiled over in the worst way possible. Hyunjin raised his hand and slapped you while looking at you with a frown and yelled at you. "Stop bothering! I don't want to celebrate your damn birthday either!"
