History :

Her mother was a cook at the hotel her father was formerly working in. Her parents met there and fell in love. When they are planning to get married, her mother's parents highly disagrees with their relationship. Her father was an orphan and lives on his own. He doesn't know his parents or any of his relatives. That is what Jinah's grandparents disagress. But for her parents, love conquers all. Jinah's mother escaped with her father and went to Incheon. There, they had their life far from Jinah's grandparents.

When her mother bore her, the doctor told her it would be difficult to have Jinah. The doctor warned her that there would be a possibility that they would have to choose who's life to save when Hye Jin will go out. Still, her mother continued to have her.

Her life became hard. Neighbors pity Jinah and did the effort of feeding her and sending her to school. When she was 8 years old, she can't handle her life. She tried to commit suicide but she didn't succeed. Her father found her bleeding on her room and was shocked that an 8-year old child would do such. He was afraid to lose another family. He immediately sent her to the hospital. Since then, her father changed. He worked hard and tried to give the best to Hye Jin.

Hye Jin was almost 11 when they thought everything was going fine. It was just when her grandparents found her and was claiming her. They told her father that he was not taking care of Jinah. They were getting her for the loss of their only child, Jinah's mother. Thinking that Jinah will have better life with her grandparents, he packed her things while Jinah was at school. He is planning to explain to Jinah and then off she go. When Jinah went home, her father explained to her. Her father tried his best. When he was done, Jinah was expressionless. He thought, it will be just fine. When her grandparents got her luggage and was ready to go, Jinah went and got a knife. She is placing the knife on the same place she did when she was 8. Her grandparents were shocked at what Jinah was doing. Jinah just told them that if they continue on bringing her away from her dad, she'll do the suicide again. Her father stopped her and her grandparents let her father to take her. Since then, they lived alone. Her grandparents are still angry with her father but she don't care.
