A/N: Very tragic to the point that I am doubting if I am mentally stable. 

Y/N's POV
"She is now your guardian, your legal sister,"

That was the first time I met her. She had her stoic expression, like how she always does. I was hoping that she could smile a little just so that I felt welcomed by her. I guess she never liked me. I was a burden to her ever since the first day we met each other.

I was twelve when my parents adopted me from the orphanage. I always knew that they had a biological daughter. She was six years older than me. But I had never seen her. She was studying overseas since she was sixteen. She never came back to Korea. My parents told me that she was very busy with her study so she didn't have the time to come back to Korea.

Four years later, my parents died in an accident. I was devastated because they were very nice to me. They cared about me. They taught me how to open up and share my feelings to other people.

Before I was adopted by them, my friendship with people in the orphanage couldn't be stable as they always come and go. Therefore, I didn't know how to keep a connection with others. I basically had no social skill back then.

I was thankful that my parents didn't give me up after all these years. They were patient and very supportive. They encouraged me to speak up more and allowed me to have the freedom to express myself.

Slowly, I had become more optimistic in life. I made friends in school. I took part in many competitions and gained a lot of confidence.

However, as if I was cursed, my parents passed away at the most unexpected timing. I went all the way back down to the bottom hill again. My sister didn't help much in making me feel better. I didn't blame her though. I was sure she was just as sad as I was. It was her own biological parents after all.

She was twenty-two when she came back to Korea to settle our parents' funeral. Other than that, she also, surprisingly, made herself my guardian. When the attorney who witnessed the sign off process officially announced it, I didn't know how to react.

She was a stranger to me. To be honest, she didn't have to take care of me. She could send me back to the orphanage if she wanted to. But I guess she was just as nice as our parents. Although in the many years later, I still couldn't tell if she genuinely cared for me or not.

"I can go out and work. You don't have to worry about my expenses,"
I said awkwardly as soon as I stepped into her mansion.

Yes, a mansion.

She was rich even without our parents' help. She was a lawyer and the top student in her university. It was not a big surprise that she could afford all these at this age then. Plus, our parents own a luxury company in Korea. Our family was considered well off, I supposed.

"How old are you?"
She asked with an emotionless tone.

"Sixteen,"
I pronounced timidly. Her stare made me feel so small in front of her.

"You don't have to worry about your expenses. Just focus on your study,"
She left after telling me that, not giving me any time to say thank you to her.

It was quite reassuring honestly, to know that someone was willing to take care of me.

At first, she is just a sister to me or my legal guardian, if I were to be more specific. I don't think she ever treats me as a sister or treats herself as my sister. If she does, we would be much more closer now. But that's not the point. I didn't even dare to be anywhere near her. When she was downstair drinking coffee and watching the news in the morning, I would just stay in my room until the sound outside died down.
