_3rd P.O.V_

University is the place to go if you'd like your CV to stand out more giving you access to more job opportunities (that and the course of study you take) leading you to a stable income and a brighter future.

The money you earn will either go towards a new comfy home allowing you to grow new memories and love with a family of your own. Or you may wish to continue to live in your childhood home renting out your siblings' bedroom who now resent you for it. Either way, for a stable future you'll have to study and study always comes with a price and that's usually your mental health and bank account.

For Eunah however, it's the students, the students who throw pieces of paper at her in class, the snobby girls who tugged on her hair as she walks down the endless hallways and the diseased boys tripping her over and catcalling her.

It wasn't always like this for Eunah, she had decent friends and decent classmates who would talk about the work they'd been given that day or ask for help on it. Basically just small talk.

Now you could say the students at this prestigious school are shit to her because she got in with her smarts and not her parent's money. This however wasn't the thing that made her spiral down into dejection.

_Flash Back_

On the 18th of December, it was a cold, snowy winter night in Seoul South Korea.

Noisy cars were flooding the busy streets, couples walking along the pavements hand in hand, students enjoying their time off school and families playing in the snow.

In an apartment complex, there lived a mother, a father, a baby boy and Eunah.

Her father worked as the apartment complex security guard while her mother was taking care of her ten-month-old brother.

Everything was peaceful, Eunahs father was working his late night shift, and her mother was playing peek-a-boo with her brother.

"Eunah can you take this hot chocolate to your father please, I don't want him to catch a cold~" her mother sang with a smile.

Eunah placed on her jacket "Ok, did you make one for me as well?" she asked with a perky smile.

"If you want one you have to make it yourself." Her mother replied.

Eunah pouted.

"It's on the counter." Her mother motioned her head to where the second hot chocolate was placed.

"Thank you mom~" Eunah ran to her mother carefully with the drinks in her hands and kissed her mom on the cheek "love you~"

Her mom smiled "Love you too" she replied. "Now go before your dad freezes to death" she exaggerated.

When Eunah arrived at her father's workstation, she saw him trying to warm up his hands in front of a small heater.

"Hey dad, mom made hot chocolate for you, drink up before it gets cold" Eunah handed over the drink.

"Thank you my little bunny."

"Dad I'm 21, I'm not your little bunny anymore, I'm a young woman now" Eunah complained while sipping on her hot chocolate.

"I know but you'll always be my little bunny no matter how old you get~" her father smiled as he was pinching her pale cheek.

As the two were enjoying each other's company, they didn't know that something horrific was about to happen.
