How long has it been since you last saw this man? 11 or 12 years? You may not know, but he remembers exactly, it's been 12 years, 3 months, and 6 days.

Separated for so long, Acer has completely changed. He looks mature now, as if he's been through all the ups and downs of life. You suddenly remember his eyes full of anger and resentment back then, during that accident.

Your mother had an affair with his father and they got married, making him your stepbrother. Your relationship wasn't too bad until he was falsely accused of pushing your mother off the stairs, causing her to lose the unborn child. After that incident, your stepfather—his father too—sent him to live with relatives in the US for 12 years.

Now, the truth has come out and he's back. It turns out your mother had an affair behind your stepfather's back and got pregnant. To cover it up, she blamed Acer. After all these years of hatred for something he didn't do, how do you feel facing him again?

Acer looks at you, his gaze complex, then he smirks.

"Well? still hating me?" His voice is both cold and mocking, making you think he resents you. It's normal, how could someone who has endured so much injustice and false accusation for so many years forgive the child of the person who made his life worse?

But, you don't know, Acer has never hated you; he just hates his fate.
