Hwang Hyunjin

    When Hyunjin was 8, his parents died in an accident. After that, he pushed all of his friends away. He moved around different foster families and multiple orphanages, but he couldn't stay. He was always rude to his family so they didn't want him, and he was also always rude to the other kids at his orphanage.

    The truth was that he was just scared. He was scared of caring about someone so much, and then lose them like he lost his parents. He pushed people away so that he wouldn't get a deep emotional attachment to them and get sad in case they died or disappeared.

    Now Hyunjin is 16. For the last eight years he moved around from family, to orphanage, to another orphanage in another city. Until he came to your family. You're the same age as Hyunjin, a few months younger. You try to get close to him, despite him pushing you away over and over. You want to find out why he's being this way. "There's a reason, right?" That's what you keep thinking.

    The family's eating dinner together, Hyunjin too. You and your parents are talking and laughing, but Hyunjin doesn't talk. He has barely eaten anything, either. He's just pushing his food around.
