exasperated ；rensung

I would like to apologise beforehand bc after reading this chapter you might suffer with indescribable (kun)fusion since it does not make any sense at all. I started with a different scenario however, now it seems not good and I've altered this so the previous parts might not connect. I am thinking of editing it after the end.

⋰

The Chinese folks that go by the surname of Dong had gained a massive reputation in knowledge and technology. They had built their own research centres throughout the world, focused mainly in China. The Dong Family had one of the most highly educated, top-notch students in each and every field possible. They started small but their key weapon was none other than perseverance and wisdom. They heavily focused on excellent education to ensure they had intelligent and genius descendants. Such was the case with Sicheng as well. He had been a brilliant student all his life and despite being rich he used to help a lot of struggling students with certain subjects he mastered at.

Sicheng's father decided to move to Korea to expand his family name along with his closest friend who happened to be a Huang. Coincidentally, both their wives were pregnant with their second children back then who opened their eyes in the neighboring nation.

Sicheng was 4 years old when he first saw baby Renjun, and he just couldn't help but love the younger. He had always wanted a baby brother causing him and Renjun to grow a lot closer. Sicheng basically raised Renjun with him. He played with him, fed him his milk bottle, helped him clean the young boy and also made him study, might i say study A LOT. Probably the reason why Renjun grew up to be very passionate about his education.

After 6 weeks passed in Korea, Mr. Huang had his daughter and after 2 months Mr. Dong got a second son. However, that child was soon sent to China as his father wanted him to be aware of his own roots and then returning to Korea later which was now. The second son of Dong family, Jisung had finally returned to his family whom he missed so much that he would always cry his heart out at his father's cruel decision of separating him from his mother and brother. Now the boy had developed a fair hatred for his parents' decision.

Why did they leave me?
Was I a mistake?
Do they not love me?
How could they separate a child from his family?
and
Are they even my real parents?

Suffering from such dilemmas, Jisung just craved more love. He had live there. His grandparents adored him so much. They would care for him, treat him with candies, pinch his cheeks and shower tremendous love but it still couldn't change the fact that he never even saw his parents. What were they even like? He only heard about them from his grandparents but he had never talked to them. There was no contact from them.

When little Jisung had first seen his brother who came to China just to meet him, he was overwhelmed. He would always wait for him. The older would try everything to talk to him without their parents knowing about it. During his video calls with Sicheng, he also learned about the Huang boy whom Sicheng mentioned almost all the time. Jisung came to know that he usually came to hang out with his older brother and would sporadically get jealous as he can meet Sicheng whenever he wanted but Jisung had to go through secretive measures to even have a glimpse of the older. It's his brother after all. However, he still would become very curious of the said boy. The way Sicheng described him, not gonna lie, did peak his interest. Lonjin seemed to be an interesting character whom he had to know more about.

The arrival of Jisung to Korea also brought up tons of nasty rumors. No one knew much about him. Many questioned if Jisung is even the real child of the family. If so, why was he shown only now? While others wondered if Mr. Dong had affairs with other women. Jisung who was already going through the worst had yet to face them with much intensity. He did have a hunch that people might not accept him there or talk bad things about him.

He didn't want to go there but his parents had finally remembered that they had another son, he thought.

He had to go, meet them and suddenly act like their son who had known his parents all his life like any other normal child, which he sadly was not.

What he didn't know were the very unexpected events that might pop up in his lonely life

Who knew the negative thoughts that clouded his mind at the moment might soon turn into purple thoughts
