5 years old

Sunggyu only looked at his brother playing outside the house on his own. He was just eight years old, he also wanted to play along. But he couldn't. At his young age, he was already the head of the Kims family after his parents death. He needed to look after his younger brother, evenif he had to lose his own childhood. Sunggyu turned back to his books and smiled at his tutor.

"Do you want to go outside to play, Sunggyu-shi?"

"It's okay, ahjusshi. I want to study."

Myungsoo looked at his brother's room from outside. He wanted to play together but he knew his brother won't play with him, not anymore. He also had no other friends, never leaving the Kims' family mansion without the bodyguards. He crouched down and pulled grass with his small fist, holding back his tears.

Suddenly, someone threw a rock at him. Startled, he looked up to see someone hiding behind the trees. He ran, trying to catch the culprit but clumsy little Myungsoo fell on his face. He scrapped his knees and the sight of blood made him cry. The boy hiding behind the tree came out and ran towards him. Crouching down, he looked at Myungsoo's knees and blew softly on it.

"It didn't hurt anymore, right? You are such a crybaby." Myungsoo, teary-eyed looked at the boy. He looked older than Myungsoo but much younger than his brother, when he smiled, Myungsoo saw that he had no front teeth and there was Band-Aid on his eyebrow.

"It hurts." Myungsoo whined.
