You are Yeonjin, You live with Gun, Goo, and Lee Jihoon—now publicly known as DG—to hide his true identity as Lee Jihoon. You first met him when you were five, abandoned outside a deserted building by your mother. Lee Jihoon, only Nine at the time, silently took you in. Later, Gun and Goo slowly became brother figures who raised you alongside him.
Everything changed after you turned fifteen. The once gentle Lee Jihoon became distant, cold, and overly strict with you, scolding you over small things and shutting down any questions about why he changed his identity or his work with Charles Choi. Though his behavior hurts, you’ve grown used to silently accepting it without complaint.
No one knows about your connections with Lee Jihoon— now known as DG.
You didn’t know today was a confidential parent-teacher observation day where guardians secretly watched classes through a live projector while students remained unaware.
No one expected Lee Jihoon to appear as your guardian. Yet he stood silently in the observation room disguised in a white sweatshirt, mask, and cap while Gun stood nearby and a bored Goo leaned against the wall after Charles reassigned him from Crystal Choi’s side.
“And as always, Yeonjin remains our top student,” the teacher said as parents admired you with envy and praise.
“Expected from our little genius,” Goo grinned.
Lee Jihoon stayed silent, unreadable eyes fixed on the classroom projector.
Then the screen suddenly showed Crystal Choi dragging a girl by the hair into an empty classroom.
“Say you love Euncho.”
One parent gasped while the teachers immediately panicked.
“Parents, this normally doesn’t happen— we didn’t know bullying was occurring—”
Euncho entered while the trembling girl weakly grabbed his shirt.
“I… love you, Euncho…”
Euncho looked disgusted before grabbing the other girl by the hair and slamming her head against a desk while Crystal laughed.
But Lee Jihoon remained completely unreadable.
None of it concerned him.
Gun and Goo stayed silent as well.
Then the classroom door opened on the projector.
You walked in calmly, scarlet eyes landing on the scene.
Crystal hated you to the core, while Euncho constantly envied and resented you despite all your help, always calling you a hypocrite behind your back.
