Hello, Diamond Wall?

Episode 17: Daniel's Story.

I have never rebelled.

Even during puberty.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I had absolutely no rebellious spirit.

It would be a lie to say that I didn't even try to rebel.

I tried and even tried to refuse, but my mother and father never even asked for my opinion.

Whenever I tried to say something, they said the decision had already been made, and that decision could absolutely not be changed.

Because I was weak.

All I could do was just follow that decision.

Even if it's a loss for me.

Even if it causes me harm.

I had to accept everything as long as those people liked it.

From the moment it was born, it was nothing more than a machine that moved according to those people's will.

I wanted to change this fact, I wanted to deny this fact, but reality did not change.

By the time I tried to change it somehow, it was already over.

My study abroad trip also went on without my input, and because of that trip, I had to lose many things again.

A representative example is

friend

friendship

It was.

For the sake of their success, I lost the most friendship with my friends.

But because I couldn't let it show, I.

I also pretended to be okay, happy, and joyful.

Pretending to be happy and okay has now become my daily routine.

I always tried to look bright.

Outside, inside the house, and inside the office.

Most people misunderstood me as having a bright personality.

But my real, original personality wasn't like this.

He was a very gloomy person, inherently dark, and completely devoid of laughter.

I wasn't sociable or cheerful, so when I was young, the only friend I had was my close younger brother, Jihun.

Jihoon was also able to become close to me because he approached me first.

My personality gradually changed because of those people, and this personality was fake, not real.

In a life like this, where I lived for those people rather than myself, happiness could not be easily found.

And now, going so far as to interfere in my marriage problems.

Honestly, I've put up with everything else, but I don't think this is right.

If I get married like this, I will truly live a life where I have never once been able to do what I wanted until the day I die.

So now, for the first time, I am going to try rebelling.

No matter what the outcome of my choice is, I absolutely cannot just accept it this time.

Now I really want to do things my way.

So, for the first time in real life, I'm going to try rebelling.

강다니엘

no, I do not want.

다니엘 아빠

what?

강다니엘

I said I don't want to.

다니엘 아빠

What? You bastard!

강다니엘

Ha... I've done everything my father and mother told me to do until now. But now, are you going to do whatever you want with my marriage too?

강다니엘

I don't think there is any reason to get married when you don't even love each other.

강다니엘

I can't do it this time either. Just this once, please let me do as I want. No, I will do it that way.

강다니엘

Well then, I'll be going now. That's all there is, right? I'll take your business and leave.

With these words, I left the place.

No, I just stormed out.

From behind, I heard voices calling my name, along with a little—no, a lot—of insults.

I quickly got out of there and went outside the company.

And I walked aimlessly. I walked and walked, and what I saw in front of me was Jihoon's house.

I was having a hard time and wanted some comfort, so I rang the doorbell, and it was Jihoon who opened the door.

박지훈

Huh? Hey bro! Why are you here?

강다니엘

Ha... Jihoon...

박지훈

You're back. Back to the way things used to be. So. What is it this time?

강다니엘

As expected, Jihoon is the only one who truly understands me~~

박지훈

...Come in for now.

강다니엘

Yeah~~

박지훈

Why is that?

강다니엘

I know, right?

박지훈

...No, Hyung. You don't have to do that in front of me.

강다니엘

Haha, I try not to be like that~ but it just doesn't work~ I guess it's just my personality~

박지훈

...Is it very hard?

강다니엘

...uh.

박지훈

What is it again today?

강다니엘

That... ha...

박지훈

Tell me. Why are you acting like this?

강다니엘

...This time they're telling me to have an arranged marriage... Ugh...

박지훈

What? An arranged marriage? Marriage? So you said you would do it?

강다니엘

No... ha... I did say I wouldn't do it... I guess I made the right choice...?

박지훈

Ah... yeah. I think I did a good job for now... but they aren't the type to stop after just one time.

강다니엘

right...

박지훈

But they keep saying they don't want to do it. You understand, right?

강다니엘

huh...

박지훈

Don't worry. My brother doesn't express himself much.

강다니엘

...I get it~

박지훈

Well then, it's late, so stay the night.

강다니엘

I was going to do that.

박지훈

Good night, bro.

강다니엘

Good night, Hunji.
