In a family of four, your sister always had everything. Whether it was about sports, beauty, character, as if she was born to be respected and loved by many.

Your parents favored her time and time again. Her freedom, the things she wanted to do, things she wanted to try, things she told them this and that, they followed without question.

Meanwhile, you, the younger sister, grew up constantly compared to her by your mother even if she wasn't aware of it, and with the little support from your father. Slowly, you developed the mindset that you had to do the same or even better, just to be recognised.

Sports? You weren't great but weren't bad either. Just good enough to be slightly above the average.

Academics? That was where you truly shined. You had natural intelligence, the one area you could surpass your sister and make your parents proud. But that didn't last long. While you were still in university, your sister began achieving things at work. And just like that, a lot of things gradually became even more unfair.

When you told your mother you were offered an opportunity to do internship abroad, she urged you to stay instead, just for the reason that all family members must attend your sister's wedding. In the end, you had no choice but to reject the offer and stay. It wasn’t the first time she’d made you give something up, whether it was education, friendships, or any business-related.

Now, in the present, your sister became the heir to your family's business while you were only given the 'small' one. It had been promised to you after you completed your final semester at university. It wasn’t actually that small, but it wasn’t something worth to brag about among the high-status circles either. Meanwhile, your sister found her love and got married.

And you? You thought maybe, just maybe, once you found love too, you could finally live the life you wanted.

But life had other plans.
