Chae Min packing his book on the table when he has finished his work at the library. When he entering the classroom, the students started whispering. He doesn't care about everything and lazy to find out. His classmate only knows gossip.
"I heard her sister killed her own father"
Chae Min who was packing his bag to go home immediately stopping.
"Maybe her sister is crazy. Well, her father died because of her and her mother hates her. How do you think her brother is?"
They all look slightly at Chae Min. Chae Min just keep silent and continued packing his bag. Suddenly, three male students approach him, and one of them holding his shoulder.
"Hey, where are you going?" asked a male named Lee Jun.
"Yeah, our class hasn't started yet, you're going home" replied Jun Ki.
Chae Min just ignored them and wants to go.
"Hey, your sister is the killer, right?"
Chae Min stopped.
"She killed your father, right? Oh my god, she so scary"
They laugh at their jokes. Chae Min growled. His fists clenched. He turned his body towards Lee Jun and immediately punch Lee Jun. Lee Jun fell because of Chae Min's strong fist handle.
"Don't ever mention my sister and family. You don't know anything. I don't care if you girl or boy, I will kill you if you gossip about my family"
Chae Min glared at all his classmates especially Lee Jun and left them. He skipped his class and go to a cybercafe to play games.

Min Jun goes to his kitchen to eat. His stomach felt very hungry. All of a sudden, he felt like going to Hae Rin's workplace to buy food. He tried to check his kitchen. The fridge is open. What can I eat?
"Wah, is the fridge empty? Is there nothing to eat?"
Min Jun closed the fridge and try to search for ramen. He found plastic ramen but only plastic.
"There's no food"
So, Min Jun took the option to go out looking for food while the clock still showed 9.30 p.m. Just coming out of the fence of his house, he saw a man he had chased a few days ago was leaning against his house. It looks like the man didn't realize it.
"Hey!"
The man turned to look at him and his face was shocked. He kept running away. Min Jun without wasting time continued to chase him. This time, Min Jun ran very fast. When it was close to the mysterious man Min Jun immediately kicked him from behind. The man fell forward. Min Jun holding it tight.
"Who are you? Why are you always in front of my house?" asked Min Jun and hold tight that man's arm as the police do.
"I was hired to see you" afraid of being hurt, the man immediately confessed.
"What? Who is the human who hired you to do this stupid job?"
"Mrs. Lee, your mom"
Min Jun's grip became even looser when the man said that it was his mother who hired him to watch him. The man immediately stood up and bowed to Min Jun.
"I'm sorry. I just do my work" replied that man.
"Where is that woman? I want to meet her" said Min Jun and glared at that man.

The clock is already showing 10 p.m. Hae Rin is still waiting for her brother to come home.
"Where is he? Why until now he didn't back?"
Hae Rin keep called Chae Min. When Chae Min rejects her call, she sits down. The words of the students at school had played on her mind.
"Hae Rin, your brother fought earlier"
"He beat up his classmates"
"He also skipped school"
Hae Rin sigh. Why he do this? Suddenly, the door of her house opened. She thought it was Chae Min but it's her mother who had just returned from drinking alcohol. She immediately goes to her mother and bringing her into the room.
"Why are you being like this again, mom?"
That's what she always does. Tired is tired but this is her life. But this time different. Her mom holding her arm tight. After putting her mother on the bed, she took off the sweater and socks she was wearing. When she finished, she covered her mother's body with a blanket. She looked at her mother for a moment. She shook her head as her brain began to wander. She wanted to get out but all of a sudden she heard her mother talking slowly.
"Thank you, dear, for still surviving until this day"
Hae Rin looked at her mother. It's not clear what she heard. What did her mother just say? Just as she wanted to approach her mother, she heard the door of the house slam shut. She immediately came out of her mother's room and saw Chae Min crossing her to go up to the room.
"Where did you go?" asked Hae Rin.
Chae Min stopped.
"Cybercafe" Chae Min wants to go.
"Are you skipped your school?"
Chae Min stopped again.
"You beat up your classmates, right?"
Chae Min turned his head to look at Hae Rin.
"Yeah, why? Can't I do that?" asked Chae Min back.
"Why are you doing that? Why do you need to add problems to me? Even now, I can't bear the problem" replied Hae Rin.
"Did I tell you to take care of all these problems alone? I already told you, if there was a problem please talk to me. Aren't I is a member of your family?"
"I don't want to bother you. I'm your sister so I know what to do. Just study hard and please don't do things I don't like" replied Hae Rin while pointing a finger at Chae Min.
"You know if you don't tell me anything and just silence like this will bother me more. I had to hear what people were saying about my sister. Do you think I'll be proud when I hear all that?" Chae Min's voice grew louder.
"Do you think if mom treats you so badly, I'll like it? She scolds you, treats you like a stranger, do you like it?"
Chae Min's lips trembled. He felt want to cry but still restrained himself from crying in front of her sister.
"Can't you be firm with mom? Why do you have to let her treat you like this?"
"She's our mom" answered Hae Rin.
"Yeah!! I know it!" the octave of Chae Min's voice louder from earlier so that Hae Rin was a little startled.
"But until when do you have to treat her like that? I'm tired. Aren't you tired? I'm tired of having to deal with the same thing every day. From our childhood until now our lives have never changed because of her"
"Stop it! You know who you're talking about, right? No matter how evil she is, she is still our mother. I'm the one facing all this, not you" answered Hae Rin, angrier with her brother's behavior.
"Okay, today I'll not advise you anymore. Just do yourself" said Chae Min and left her.
Hae Rin looked down. She looked at her mother who was sleeping behind her. She slowly closed the door to leave her mother alone. After Hae Rin left, Mrs. Park opened her eyes. Tears dripped down her cheeks.
