HEON POV
My mother is the mistress of the CEO of XYLIM. My whole life, we were always hidden. Omma is always waiting for attention from my father, who has a family and children besides me; I know they are angry with us. They often storm into our house to hurt my mom. I get angry at myself, and at Appa, I can't protect Omma because I'm still a child, while Appa... Nothing is more important to him than the company and his real family.
Omma died, but I know it wasn't a normal death. Someone killed her, and I know that Appa's wife ordered the masked men to kill my mother. After the funeral, Appa sent me to America to study. And to keep me out of the industry's sight. It wasn't easy for me to live in America alone; I was often singled out and bullied because I wasn't yet proficient in speaking English. At school, I was often bullied, I started being rebellious, creating some guidance records and Appa always cover it up for now thats the only revenge I can do. but there was one girl who always defended me. We are both Asian. At first, I was annoyed with her, but eventually, I let her bother me.
4 years have passed, and we were always together. I have gotten used to her; We bond closer we tease. Throw friendly flirts, and some craziness together. She became my bestfriend, I can not deny that she is really important to me. I do the things for her that I couldn't do for Omma... to protect her. Just like today, you're happily hopping like a kid while holding a pack of milk. You said it was from your crush. I take it out of your hand and drink it.
"You're allergic to milk. Why did you accept that in the first place when you know it can kill you in just one gulp?" I said to her, concerned and annoyed at the same time for hearing that man name out of her mouth every single day.
