he used to be someone who found beauty in every sunrise. His laughter echoed through the hallways of Hanlim High School, spilling like sunlight into every crevice of both his world and those around him. He embraced life with open arms, talking loudly about dreams of the future and chasing after the fleeting moments of joy that came his way. But then came the day the sun chose to hide, leaving him in the cold grip of shadow

His mom passed away; her absence was a void so profound it felt as though the very earth beneath him had crumbled into nothingness. He spent weeks in a haze, grieving, confused, left with a heart that felt heavy as stone. Each day felt like a struggle against the tides of sorrow that threatened to drown me whole. His dad, struggling to cope, turned to what he thought was the solution: remarriage

That’s how he met Kylee—his father's new wife. With her sharp tongue and dismissive demeanor, she was everything his mother had not been. Instead of finding comfort in a new family, he found a suffocating prison. Even her daughter, Sushmita, a bright-eyed girl whose innocence reminded me of his lost childhood, took on the texture of betrayal. How could they replace his mother? How could his father believe that in loving them, he wouldn’t be forsaking her memory

As the weeks turned into months, he felt something awaken within me—a sense of determination that twisted into something darker. Anger simmered just below the surface, changing the sweet essence of who he once was into something more ominous. He often stayed after school, lingering around the abandoned corridors, letting he thoughts spiral into a vortex of revenge. I imagined the different ways he could expose Kylee for everything she was—her cruelty masked beneath a façade of concern for his father, her wanting to replace my mother with every passive-aggressive comment. And Sushmita—she lived in the same house as me, yet we were worlds apart
