Jin grimaced. "What? I thought they got murdered during a bank robbery!"
She looked away. "They did. But I'm the one at fault for it. I insisted that I had removal surgery again. My parents were forced—that day—to go withdraw money for the operation. They were essentially very poor, just so you know, yet I remained careless about their financial situation at the time. In short, they went to the bank for the money and received bullets to their bodies. I … killed them. My brother and I were forever alone afterward.
"I had to drop out of school to take care of him. We insisted on not going to an orphanage. As a freelancer, I did whatever I could have done to get money. That's how I got where I am today."
Jin peered at her for a while. Then, he turned his head, looking away. "Parent murderer, huh? I guess we're both alike in that regard."
