Sunghoon's hug to his younger sister at his parents' divorce court was very tight, just like his strong hug to her under the dinner table last week when his parents had a big fight. Sunghoon ended the day with a torn heart, desperately holding onto his little sister to be strong.
"No one wants us." At least it was the angelic hearts of uncle and aunt who helped them from abandonment. Their parents don't need them.
"Don't hate your dad, he is the one who pays for both of your lives." Uncle said at that time, precisely when Sunghoon turned 13 years old. Which only made Sunghoon's heart feel very bitter. Don't hate his father? Nonsense, his father and mother were the same, cheaters and now have their own new families. Leaving Sunghoon and his younger sister.
"Tell them, we don't want their living anymore. We've grown up, and I won't give them anything back." And that was the last sentence Sunghoon said to his uncle and aunt last time when he was 18 years old, before Sunghoon took his 16 year old sister away from their home.
🕘09:00 p.m
Sunghoon crushed the lighter in his hand and threw it to the left. A blazing fire consumes their childhood home. Sunghoon stood there with his younger sister, staring at the fire that was starting to spread in front of them. The shadows of his parents' fights and those they neglected had been burned along with resentment and hatred in Sunghoon's hands.
Sunghoon turned his head and saw his little sister's innocent eyes reflecting the firelight. Sunghoon took his little sister's palm warmly and gently and held it tightly.
"Forget them all. Just pretend we are dead, let's be reborn and live a new life. Just you and me, your oppa.."
Sunghoon invited his younger sister to walk away, leaving the house. Childhood home, he said.
