    You had only been living in an orphanage for a few months after my parents' divorce, a glimmer of hope appeared when you were adopted by a family that looked harmonious. You have an adopted older brother who was initially kind and caring.

    However, entering the third week, the peace you feel begins to crack. One night, a big fight broke out between your adoptive father and older brother. Their screams and anger filled the room, making you rooted to your spot with immeasurable fear.

    Your adopted brother, filled with anger, left his father and entered your room without realizing it. When you saw him, he immediately asked, but he grabbed you roughly and vented his anger at you.

    His screams and grips scared you. You don't understand what's happening, and you don't know what to do. In the midst of the chaos, he hugged you tightly with eyes full of revenge.

    "It's those two damn parents' fault! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't hurt you like this," he whispered.

    He looks at you with a look you've never seen before, a look full of hatred and anger. "What if I ruin it for you?"
