KANG DAERYUL stood still, hands behind her back and head bowed low as she listened to another scolding from her step-father, KIM JIHYEOK.

her mother, LEE RYUJIN, was not present due to some work problems at her office. instead, her step-brother, KIM MINHYUK was there but kept silent.

her school had called her parents about her skipping class, but since her mother was busy, her strict step-father was left to deal with it.

scolding. scolding. scolding. that was all he ever said to her. that was the only time he would interact with her. during her moments where she makes a mistake.

DAERYUL had gotten used to his scoldings, which is why she never takes his threats and demands seriously anymore.

" YAH, DAERYUL! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?! "

JIHYEOK shouts at her, but the short haired girl stays unfazed, making him frustrated.

the sound of their door opening interrupts them, her mother soon revealing herself with a confused and concerned expression on her face.

" YEOBO? DAE? what's going on? "

LEE RYUJIN gently questioned them, her eyes first connecting with her daughter then to her husband.

" i got a call from DAERYUL's school again, saying she's been skipping her classes and- "

" why should that matter to you? "

DAERYUL snaps, having had enough of hearing her step-father's repetitive words.

MINHYUK displays a surprised face and lets out a smirk before quickly removing it, not wanting to get caught by his father.

" DAERYUL- "

her mother warns her, but she doesn't let her continue.

" tell me. why does it matter if i skip school? why should you care? MR. KIM. "

the 18 year old girl now has her head up, her hands still behind her back, but her posture changes into something that says confidence and fearlessness.

" how dare you talk to me like that- "

" ALL YOU EVER DO IS SCOLD ME ANYWAYS! WHAT'S THE POINT?! WHY SHOULD IT MATTER TO YOU?! "

tears of frustration and built up tension threaten to release from her brown colored eyes.

" DAERYUL, sweetie, calm down- "

" YOU TOO, EOMMA! YOU'RE ALWAYS SO BUSY, YOU NEVER. EVER. HAVE TIME FOR ME! you love your fucking job more than you love me. "

" KIM DAERYUL. language- "

" KANG DAERYUL. KANG, not KIM. i hate this household. this place doesn't even feel like home, it just feels like four walls constantly trying to push me around...eomma...i hate it here. "

DAERYUL's voice quivers as she's unable to hold back her tears, letting out everything she's been wanting to say to her mother for years.

" i'm staying at JIHUN and JIHAN's house. their place feels more like home than this shitty place does. "

" DAERYUL... "

not wanting to hear the rest, the teenager angrily walks to her room, slamming her door and locking it before breaking down right against it.

IM RYUNJIN, now known as LEE RYUJIN, silently stares at her daughter as she walks away from her.

her husband, KIM JIHYEOK, beside her, sighs in frustration and leaves the room to cool himself off.

meanwhile, KIM MINHYUK, who's been silent throughout the whole encounter, observes the two adults.

he knew his step-sister wasn't wrong about both of their parents and even though he was itching to go in DAERYUL's room and comfort her, he knew that it was best if he let her be alone in her thoughts.

and with that, MINHYUK stands up from the living room sofa and goes to his room without saying a word.
