"I met him in high school." Ms. Saeri started as she caressed Angelica's head that laid on her shoulder.

Sunghoon sat next to Jake and Ms. Yuh on the other couch as they listened intently.

"He was pretty dumb actually. He was quiet and he wasn't that into anything social, although he was in the school soccer team. We started becoming friends in class, then we eventually dated."

She let out a sigh as she looked down at her hand.

"He was so nice to me. He would get me a flower almost every day. He would even dedicate songs to me. Even during games he'd scream he loved me at the top of his lungs."

"What happened?" Angelica asked softly.

"He got involved with the wrong crowd when he started gambling. He was obsessed with being seen as good and cool. So obsessed that he did anything his so called friends asked. He dropped out of school and started working with a popular drug dealer in town... and well you know the jizz." She said as she shook her head.

"After he started taking those he started becoming more aggressive towards me. He wanted everything to be perfect. It started with how the house looked, then with how I dressed, then how I acted when we were out, then it evolved to everything I did. He was obsessed with looking like the best. He continued all his gang bullshit, thinking he looked cool."

Sunghoon looked down at the floor as he couldn't process that Mr. Park actually used to be normal.

All he knew of him was his crazy outbursts, his killing sprees and his punches.

"So when I found out I was pregnant, we were around your age. He was angry. He thought we were too young and that we shouldn't have a kid or it'll look bad to his gang members. He wanted to look fresh and young, always. He would freak out whenever he saw a crease on any of our faces. So imagine having a child. But I wanted you, so I kept you."

Sunghoon nodded his head to show he was listening.

"After you were born, when you were maybe around three, he would obsess over what you wore. He would constantly show your expensive clothes off to his friends but then would discard you and act like he didn't care after. I confronted him about it but he only said that he never wanted a baby in the first place. It was like his brain was contradicting itself. That's when I knew he was crazy and that we had to leave."

Ms. Yuh nodded her head in agreement as she grabbed onto Sunghoon's hand.

"You were always a nice kid and he didn't like that. Especially as you grew older. He hated how you refused to hurt anyone. How you still greeted your teachers and classmates. How you did well in your studies. He even hated how you came out to be more handsome than he ever was. I would constantly overhear him talking about your face as he practically studied it with a notebook and he would even compare himself to your school pictures in front of a mirror... It was so creepy and disgusting." Ms. Yuh said as she shook her head in repulsion.

Angelica felt a shudder go down her spine as she imagined Mr. Park staring at Sunghoon as he slept or him sitting in front of a mirror trying to look like him.

"So he was obsessed with comparing himself to his own son?" Jake questioned and Ms. Yuh nodded her head.

"I don't care about whatever that false bitch has to say about me."

"Tell me where Sunghoon is." Angelica threatened as she looked at a camera, assuming he was watching her.
