[Prologue]

Sumi (POV) 

12 Years Ago [PAST] 

I was just walking back home from school when suddenly I heard yelling from inside the house. I quickly ran inside the house and saw my dad abusing my mom. I drop my back pack on the ground and ran up to him to stop him. As I held onto his arm, I begged him to stop but he was in a crazy state and harshly pushed me away. My older sister Yura came running from the front door and helped me up. She then ran up to our dad and got him off of our mom. I ran towards Yura and mom. 

Yura: Mom? Are you okay? 

Ms. Kim: Yea, I'm okay. I'm okay sweetie. 

I hugged my mom from the waist and stood by her as our dad stood up from the ground and looked at us. 

Mr. Kim: How dare you touch me like that! I'm your father! 

Yura: Well, you don't act like one!

He then charged at us. I didn't want him to hurt them again so I went in front of mom and stood in front of him. While I stood in front of him, everything went black.

I woke up knowing that I was in the hospital. As I looked around, I saw Yura walking up to me. 

Yura: Sumi? Are you okay? 

I groan in pain. 

"Where's mom? Is she okay? Is she hurt? I want to see her, unnie."

Yura: Sumi, listen to me. Mom is - she's gone. Dad killed her right after when you fainted from the hit. I called the cops and dad got arrested. 

12 Years Later [PRESENT] 

I opened my eyes and got up from the ground. I walked up to Yura and stood next to her. 

Yura: Are you still not over that feeling yet?

I sigh and looked at her. 

"You know me, Yura. I'm not the same happy child anymore. After what happen to mom and what almost happen to you, I can't risk anymore to be happy."

Yura: And why can't you be happy? Everyone deserves to be happy, Sumi.

"Not me. Dad is now out of jail. He's roaming around somewhere in Seoul. I know he's going to come after us. I can't risk losing another family member. It's too painful."

Two weeks ago, Yura and I heard that our dad has been sent free from jail and we were worried that he'll come after us and unfortunate he did, but he went after our grandparents. The images of him killing them in front of Yura and I were too hard to forget. Our dad almost kill Yura in front of me, but luckily Yura defended herself and got us out of there. We were now standing in front of our grandparents' and our mom's tombstone. 

The pain of having someone to lose is something that humans like us can not bear to keep or memorize. That's what changed me into this cold person. I've had a lot more scars than people out there could ever imagine. Scars of what I've been through as a child, scars of what I've seen with my own eyes, scars of witnessing deaths of the people that I love and care, scars of anything else that I doubt about myself.
