Why has it changed so much?
Ep. 20

"Okay, I won't contact you."
Jinyoung took a deep breath and said he wouldn't contact them. Daniel, who heard the answer, smiled so loudly that Jinyoung couldn't hear.
배진영
"I'm hanging up."
Thump -
The phone call ended, and Jinyoung was lost in thought.
배진영
F*ck.
배진영
Bae Jin-young X Shin bastard...
Jinyoung's memories go back to 5 years ago, when he was in the first year of middle school.

아빠
So, he's coming?
Jinyoung, who came from a fairly upper-class family, was often treated with contempt. He never had a proper conversation with his parents, nor did he ever laugh or chat with them.
That day too, it was dinner with luxurious dishes, but Jinyoung just ate his food without saying a word.
Jinyoung's father was Daniel's uncle, and when Jinyoung's mother heard that Daniel's mother was in critical condition, she brought up the idea that Daniel would be coming home soon.
배진영
Mother, then you live with that guy named Daniel?
엄마
huh.
Jinyoung grew anxious. All he had was wealth and possessions. Without a warm family or love, all he had was his possessions. With the arrival of Daniel, he feared they would be taken away.
배진영
When are you coming?
아빠
If you're curious about that, you could study more instead.
Jinyoung's father was quite firm towards Jinyoung, who was anxious.
배진영
sorry..
아빠
When that kid comes, I just think about how much better he'll be than me.
In addition, he had been pressuring Jinyoung even before he arrived, saying that he had to be much better than Daniel, and Jinyoung became extremely stressed due to the pressure.
A few weeks later, Daniel came home, and Jinyoung, who had been under a lot of stress because of his father, became angry the moment he saw Daniel's face.
배진영
Brother, better than me? Ah~ I'm so happy to see you? Hahaha
Jinyoung heard that in America, he was a year older than him, but in Korea, he was the same age as him, which made Daniel wary of him.
That's why Jinyoung treated Daniel coldly, and seeing Jinyoung like that, Daniel became afraid of Jinyoung and stayed away from him.
아빠
Bae Jin-young, come to my room.
A few days after Daniel arrived, Jinyoung's father called him into his room. Jinyoung, who rarely got called to his room unless it was something incredibly important or something to scold, began to feel uneasy, wondering if he'd done something wrong again.
Smart -
아빠
Come in.
Jinyoung, who had a hard-spoken father, ticked his fingernails once and then cautiously entered his father's room.
아빠
Are you okay with Daniel?
배진영
Oh, yes....
아빠
I heard at school that your grades have been declining for several months.
Jinyoung's father's voice suddenly changed in tone, and Jinyoung could only shake his legs in extreme fear.
아빠
You're 38th, he's 21st.
아빠
He's still ranked 21st in the whole school even after his mother died, you beast of a son.
Beast boy, it was a phrase he had heard often since he was little, but when he was compared to Daniel, Jinyoung's fear doubled.
배진영
.....Ugh, I'm sorry.
Jinyoung's lips trembled and he kept bowing his head in apology, and Jinyoung's father glared at him and said.
아빠
I told you you had to do better.
Jinyoung's father's voice was louder than before, and Jinyoung was startled once again, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
아빠
What are you crying about, what did you do right!
Jinyoung's father's brow furrowed, and Jinyoung saw it and immediately knelt down and began to beg.
It was something that always happened, but because the person was Daniel,
Jinyoung felt anger welling up inside his heart.
아빠
If I'm worse than him next month,
아빠
You are not my child.
아빠
Do better than him by any means necessary.
In the first year of middle school, Jinyeong took a place in my heart.
"How to do better than Daniel"
It was tormenting Daniel.
Don't let me study,
Very painfully.
So Jinyoung,
I was going crazy.
Jinyoung's past starts to come out!!!
The reason Jinyoung's mom and dad are called aunt and uncle is because in episode 4, from Daniel's perspective, Jinyoung's mom and dad were aunt and uncle!!! (Do you all remember? Haha)
The next episode will be full of TMI!! This episode took a week to come back without the TMI ㅠㅠ
Thank you for waiting, Spurs!!
Good night, Myeonnight ♥
+) Ramyoni, you have no sense... What is a noodle night? A noodle night... It's old...
