*Kim hye jin's POV*
"Yes Hani-ah, I'll be careful, Yes, Yes, I will call you, I promise" I say to my best friend Min Hani, as i prepare to start my journey. I get in the train and say goodbye to my best friend as the train starts.
"Finally" i said as i sat down on the window seat, i looked out of the window and stared at the nothingness of my city which I'm leaving, this is the day I've been waiting for my whole life.
*FLASHBACK 12 YEARS AGO*
"Mommy, will you buy me the new doll if i finish my homework now?" The 6 year old me happily jumps around my mom.
"Yes, hye jin, i promise, but first finish it, and when dad comes home, we'll all go and get your favourite doll"
My mom said to which i started dancing and happily finished my homework.A few hours later, my dad came home, but he did not look like he usually does.
He would come home and hug me and start talking to mom about his day and random stuff, but today it was different, my dad stood there near the door and i saw a boy, hiding behind him."Oh? Are you home, come on in i will g- what happened Si won?"
My mom asked as she noticed my Dad's tensed expression.
Slowly my Dad gently pushed the Boy in front of my mom, the boy looked very scared, as if he knew nothing, as if he didn't know who he was."Who is he?" my mom asked, to which my father remained silent. My mom got down to the boy's level and asked him, "Who are you?" The boy turned around to look at my father and my father nodded, then the boy said "My name is Kim Taehyung."
My mom looked up to my dad and asked him what was going on, my father took my mom inside their room and I could hear them talking very loudly which was unusual.
While my parents were inside their room, i went near the boy and introduced myself because i liked making friends a lot. "Hello Taehyung, i am Hye jin, will you be my friend?" I asked, Taehyung looked at me for a while as if he was thinking something and then he smiled and said, "Yes!" I smiled back and gave him my chocolate, we both sat on the couch in the living room and ate the chocolate together and i could feel we were getting along really well.
Just then my mom stormed out of the room and harshly grabbed my hand and started pulling me out of the house, She was crying and screaming "I will never ever come back!! You cheater! You will never get to see your daughter's face ever again, this is what you get for doing this to us!!" she cried and pulled me, i didn't want to leave dad, i wanted to stay with him but i had no choice.
My mom took me to my grandparent's house, there i heard my mom talking to my grandmom, "He had that child even before our daughter, i never ever thought Si won would do something like this mom, he cheated on me!" Tears streamed down my mom's face, my grandmom gently rubbed her back and tried to console my mom.
Two days later, my dad came to my grandparent's house and convinced mom to go with him again, my mom disagreed initially but we went home anyway. Taehyung was still home and i was happy about it. He smiled when he saw me again and i returned the smile.
As the time went by, i understood that Taehyung was my step brother, he was 8 years old, 2 years older than me, but the strange thing about him was that he didn't remember anything about the past 8 years of his life, he did not know about his real mom and did not remember anything about my dad either, i didn't understand it. My mother did not like taehyung at all, she would treat him very badly. The fact that he was my step brother did not bother me, i enjoyed his company very much, we became best friends soon and we would do everything together.
"You don't like my mom right?" I asked Taehyung while sitting on the swing in the playground, "Honestly Hye jin, i don't, she is like a witch" i glared at him and got down from the swing, i started walking away and he comes running behind me, "okay okay I'm sorry, why'd you ask in the first place then" He asked. No matter how she is, she is my mom and i love her, i know my mom doesnt like Taehyung but i understand the reason behind it. "Then do you hate me too?" I asked, Taehyung looked at me in the eye and said "I could never hate you hye jin."
Time passed by but things at my home did not get any better, my mom wouldn't accept Taehyung and hated his existence, Taehyung being a stubborn child hated my mom too, my dad kept trying so hard to make everything alright but failed every single time until one day,
"I've had enough Hye sun, what do you want me to do? Kill that innocent child?" My dad shouted angrily at my mom. Taehyung and i dropped what we were doing and went to see what happened.
"Innocent child? Wasn't your daughter innocent? Did you not think of her while deceiving us like this?" My mom shouted back at him.
"I agree i did something wrong but it's been a goddamn year, when will you accept him?" my dad said. Yes it's been one year since Tae came home, while Taehyung and i were inseparable, my mom and dad were continuously fighting over this.
"I will never accept this sin, Si won, i will not" My mom said back and this is the very first time i saw my dad this angry!
"You know what? I'm tired of all this" my dad said and he stormed out of the house, he gave one last look to me and taehyung, his eyes were filled with guilt and sadness, we ran towards him but it was too late, he already left us.
