"Love? HA! How foolish"
✧
Kai and his family lived in poverty, being in huge debt. Kai's parents weren't exactly the best, or rather, just down right horrible. Kai's father was a massive alcoholic and abusive towards Kai and his siblings, while Kai's mother was a drug addict, she only watched what Kai's father did to him and his siblings without bothering to help. However, a incident happened and caused Kai's parents to get in debt to someone, but Kai's parents passed due to overdose on drugs. Causing Kai to care of himself and his younger siblings when he was only 15, he ended up taking up multiple jobs just so him and his siblings wouldn't have financial problems. After a while, Kai managed to get a well paying job, but the job had terrible consequences and was rather... dangerous. But this was all for his siblings, so it was worth it, right ꋪꏂꋬ꒯ꏂꋪ꒚? Over time, Kai's siblings started seeing him as a father figure and starting calling him "dad"? He was shocked at first, perhaps a little sad and disheartened? Maybe it was because he knew that he was the only person that his siblings had as family, or was it because he too knew that he'll be gone sooner or later. After all, he was just another disposable pawn for someone else's plan.
