In the small town of Seogwipo, South Korea, there lived a 17-year-old boy named Jeon Jungkook. Despite his young age, Jungkook had to shoulder the responsibilities of a part-time job and his studies, as he was the only breadwinner in his household

*Jungkook's mother had passed away when he was just a child, leaving him in the care of his stepmother. But unlike the fairy tales he used to read, his stepmother was cruel and heartless. She despised Jungkook and made his life a living hell

Every day, Jungkook would come home from work, tired and exhausted, only to be greeted with harsh words and demands for money from his stepmother. And if he didn't comply, she would unleash her anger on him, beating him mercilessly until he was bruised and broken

The pain and fear that Jungkook felt were overwhelming. He would often cry himself to sleep, wondering why he deserved such treatment from someone who was meant to care for him

Despite the darkness that surrounded him, Jungkook held on to a glimmer of hope. He dreamed of a day when he could escape from his stepmother's clutches and live a life free from fear and abuse
