An appropriate way to begin this story would be to start at the very beginning when Lee Sungmin was born. It was the first day of the new year, and young Lee Sunhwa was much too conservative and high strung to face the humiliation of having to expose herself to the nurses and midwives in the room. After putting up a fight, she was drugged with the best painkillers and epidural that could possibly be the reasons behind Sungmin’s questionable mental stability.

A well experienced psychologist, who coached Sungmin through many grueling sessions of therapy in high school, would, years later, sit before a jury and give a detailed explanation on the notes he’d taken the previous years that would back up all theories that were being questioned. When asked to give a short summary of highlighted importance, the psychologist would have to say:

 Lee Sungmin was oppositional. Not even Sungmin’s mother could understand what caused this sort of rebellion, but her son had been this way since boyhood. If asked or told to do one thing, Sungmin would agree but turn around and do quite the opposite. This came known as a problem when Sungmin was seventeen and set fire to the chemistry lab at the local high school after the teacher had warned him not to play with the Bunsen burner.

Lee Sungmin was childish. Despite the behavior emitted by him, everyone that knew Sungmin could see that he was easily amused and had the seemingly innocence of a young child. And like many mentally ill people before him, Sungmin used this to his advantage to get out of trouble for years before people began to question his mental stability.

Lee Sungmin had a warped sense of humor. Sungmin laughed at inappropriate situations and times. When a pregnant woman fell down the stairs at the mall, Sungmin had laughed himself silly and had been banned from entering the store again. The idea of others getting hurt was fascinating and amusing to him, which made the psychologist also render him as a sadist.

Lee Sungmin felt no attachment to anything. There wasn’t much that could be said about this, it was self-explanatory. Sungmin had never carried around a teddy bear or blanket when he was a child, nor had he been difficult to wean of the pacifier. He’d never lasted in relationships for longer than a month, and friendship was the same. When Sungmin’s parents passed away in a car accident before he graduated high school, the boy had not even shed a tear; his aunt had to threaten him to go to their funeral. Months later, the same aunt turned missing and was never found.
