1. When my parents divorced, my life took a sudden and unexpected turn.
2. My father remarried, and my mother's behavior changed so much that I felt like I no longer had a place to call home.
1. I had nowhere to go and no one to turn to.
1. But then, gyuri came into my life.
1. Gyuri was more than just a friend to me. She was like a sister.
1. When she learned about my situation, she didn't hesitate to invite me to live with her and her family.
1. Her parents took me in and accepted me as part of their family, even though I wasn't their child.
1. I will always be grateful to them for giving me a safe home when I had nowhere else to go.
1. After my father cheated on my mother and remarried, he became almost a stranger to me.
2. He had his own family and life
1. Family and life that I was no longer a part of.
1. Even though I loved my mom, she went down a similar path.
2. Living with her wasn't easy.
3. "Mom..."
1. Following their separation, she had been in numerous relationships, introducing a new man into her life almost every month.
1. It felt like she didn't care about anything or anyone, including me.
1. She would talk about wanting a fresh start after the divorce, but...
1. ...all I saw was her drinking every night and coming home completely exhausted.
1. I guess she just wanted to live her life, even if it meant leaving me behind.
1. Living with gyuri's family, I learned the true meaning of family.
2. Despite the kindness and love I received from them, life still threw me a harsh blow.
1. One day, when I was in high school, my world was turned upside down again.
2. My parents were killed in a car
1. Accident, leaving me feeling lost and alone, once again.
2. Gyuri's family provided me with support, but carrying the weight of life on my shoulders at the age of 15 was hard.
1. Later on, I worked hard to repay gyuri's family kindness in any way I could, even though they did not expect anything from me.
1. Since high school, I had always worked part-time, not wanting to be a burden on gyuri's family, who had already done so much for me.
3. I saved up for university, but scholarships helped me a lot.
1. However, I am still in debt from my education expenses.
2. Although my childhood until the age of nine had been wonderful...
1. After my parents' divorce, I learned to never get too close to people.
1. It was too late with gyuri and her parents.
2. But I swore it would never happen again.
1. There was no point in having a relationship, because if they weren't cheating, they were dying.
1. In my parent's case, they were both.
2. When I walked into their apartment, sera, or was it sunho, was sitting on the couch.
1. "Well, good morning, jimin, come on in."
1. "Oh and don't bother to knock."
2. Sera.
1. Bare feet?
1. A tank top?!
2. "Wow, what biceps she has..."
1. Damn!
2. This was the first time I saw her revealing so much skin, especially considering last night's events.
