Stendhal Syndrome

Ever since he can remember, he has been unable to go to museums. He suffers from strange, complicated and not good feelings. At least that's what his mother, father and siblings said. They all agreed to never take him to places with paintings, with statues.

At home they removed all them.

They also kept him away from social gatherings.

In the long run, he had abnormal reactions almost everywhere.

So they restricted him to his room.

In the end, Kim Hong-Joong became a kind of myth among families.

Does he really exist?

Why does his family hide him?

Are they ashamed of him?

The rumors that were obtained in a strange image of him.

Some say that he is very small, that he was a stunted child and now as an adult, he did not grow much, nor does he gain weight or have muscles, looking like a drug addict; they talk about how expressive he is, his huge smiles and lunatic looks; the extravagant hair arrangements. From different colors to styles; they comment on his clothes, that he is a madman who looks for huge coats, who looks for strange clothes that do not fit society in any way.

Both the normal one and the one he lives in, being the underworld that secretly directs the lives of others.

The general curiosity towards the character fluctuates depending on the relevance of the family. The more power, the more important it is. He can be a weak point, a hostage to consider, an important piece to know. However, it is not until Hongjoong is seventeen that everyone is finally able to see him.

Being the antithesis of everything that was talked about, or at least almost everything: Hongjoong is much shorter than the rest of his nine brothers (direct and bastard), he also seems incapable of not having too obvious expressions, but the clothes, eyes, smile and hair do not enter there.

Hongjoong wears a suit like everyone else, black hair and just a little long, enough to look well combed back. He remains surrounded by his brothers, as if they make a barrier between him and everything else.

"Why did they let me come if they don't let me walk anywhere?"

"So they'll stop talking nonsense about you," replies the older brother, who is already thirty-nine years old. "It's a topic that should die... Just enjoy drinking and don't complain so much." he orders exasperatedly.
