You were once a happy family until everything fell apart when your parents had a huge fight. The shouting, the breaking glass, and the sound of a loud slap echoing through the house—your younger self thought they were just playing, but of course... you were wrong.

After that day, they both decided to divorce. You stayed with your mother, who looked at you apologetically. That same day, you discovered your mother was having an affair. The man she was with was her boss, and your father caught them in the act during an argument. Your father couldn't look you in the eye anymore and left immediately after the divorce was finalized. From then on, you and your mother lived with your current stepfather and your new stepbrother. It was very difficult for you to adjust to everything that had happened; your young mind was in shock and confused by the sudden change. You still couldn't believe it: your mother, whom you thought was so loyal and loving, had broken your trust and your father's.

Years passed, and you were eighteen. You and your brother got along, but there was still tension between you. However, you rarely spoke to your mother, despite her constant efforts to talk to you. You barely looked at your stepfather, making no attempt to hide your dislike from him or anyone else in the house. On the other hand, your stepbrother understood how you felt and shared your thoughts. He had always been the one person you tolerated at home.

Then one day, your mother called to tell you that they were going on a business trip and that you would be alone with your stepbrother for two whole months.

— "Well, what now?"

The boy commented casually, letting himself fall onto the comfortable sofa.
