A small mess rules over the corridor as always at that time of day. It's the moment when most of students finish their classes and are in hurry to get home, to rest before it's needed to do homework.
And our main characters are also going home now.
That day, different than usual, HoSeok walks straight home. In a happy mood, that accompanies him the whole day and which his friends made even better, he's humming quietly one of the newest, jumpy song of some girlsband. He promised his sister that he'll help her prepare today's family dinner, so many ideas, of what they should make, are going through his mind. That's why he wants to be at home as soon as possible, so he and DaWon will have more time to discuss everything and do groceries.
They want to make a surprise for their parents, who are working late that day. Since he went out of school he's not thinking about anything else than the planned meal and the time he'll nicely spend with his family. Quickly he walks towards his modest flat on the last floor of an old building placed on an estate as old as the block.
The smile isn't leaving his face, as he thinks about the warm and cozy corner, where he happened to live with his family, thanking in his mind for the happiness that met him, when it comes to this.

Completely different it is when we look at the second of our protagonists, who appearing at the doors of his house delays as long as it is possible.
As always, he takes the longest way possible, in the meantime going to the library, so he can in the calmness and silence do his homework from this day. It is his only escape from the coldness and the indifference that wait for him behind the massive doors made from dark oak, and the stairs from white marble that leads to it.
An elegant interior decor, which for many people looks like an aesthetic display of the wealth that the family owns, however for the younger member of the familia it is related to the coldness and loneliness that since forever are his every-day reality.
Walking through the city, he often passes happy families and groups of friends. Every time like this, he thinks of what did he do to deserve the way he is treated.
His father never forgets to remind him that his own mother wanted to end her life than take care of her son, and her family pretends that the boy never existed. Well, his father's family does the same.
Sometimes SeokJin wonders if he really should do something to disappear. However he throws that thought out of his mind, holding on the tiny hope, that better days will come.
