Description
the family name kim is a common one, yet this particular lineage is one to be feared and respected in the business industry — owner of many hospitals and charities under their names. a family hailing of excellent doctors, surgeons and the like. the kim's were an old name, traditional and old-school, despite their advanced approaches toward medicine. they had wanted a son to inherit the company.
but it was minkyung who had blessed them as the firstborn of the family — a biologically female offspring. disappointment spread throughout the family, and it didn't stop. when minkyung grew up over the years, it only worsened. she was casted aside, placed in a mansion where she was only accompanied by several servants and maids who came to her beck and call.
her younger brother was born barely a year later. that had ultimately decided minkyung's fate — she was neglected, ignored. as she watched her brother bathe in their parents' attention, she wondered if things would have changed where she born a male. if her wasn't female, she wondered if her parents would have looked her way. she grew up full aware that her gender was unwanted, and with it came her budding hatred for her own gender. she cursed her womanhood, cursed her s, herself for having a petite and feminine figure.
why? why couldn't she have been born a male instead? why couldn't she have been born a boy so her parents wouldn't have to cast her aside like she was nothing?
at first, minkyung tried her best to gain her parents' attention. she was a genius — even she was aware of her photographic memory. she flaunted it, showed excellence when it came to logic and grasping concepts. yet no matter what she did, it was always her brother — her brother who was so, so perfect in their eyes that they refused to see even the slightest bit of imperfection in him.
the world she lived in was a world she saw through rose colored lenses. she had friends — all of whom she wasn't sure were true — and her name held power. kim minkyung, firstborn and a genius that would certainly make her parents proud. but no. no matter how easy it was for her to get everything else that she had wanted, what she would want would never be hers to hold.
so she kept her image. an excellent student and angelic figure to everyone around her, she was a role model that most people looked up to.
but come her fifteenth year, her parents had made a bargain. she was to make sure that her brother remained at the top — and that had meant she had to do his projects for him, write his essays. anything to make sure that he was the perfection that kims made him out to be. but she wasn't dumb enough to go along with it — instead of seeing this as an opportunity, she felt anger.
of course. of course her parents saw her as nothing more than a tool to meet whatever ends they wanted.
it was the first time minkyung had lashed out on her parents. she was met with disappointment and anger, and that was the first time her father had ever touched her. he had raised a single hand, and when his palm met her cheek, her petite self flew to the floor with a loud thud. this was the longest either of her parents had looked at her, spoken to her.
and it was only pain for her.
so she ran away. and this was only the start of her downfall. out of her rage, she cut her own hair — uneven, jagged; it was truly an ugly sight as she watched herself in front of the mirror.
from her angelic image, she became violent. her once gentle voice became a sharp knife that hurt anyone who heard it. word spread quickly, and her once perfect reputation headed to hell as it went down with each day she spent. her change didn't go unnoticed. rumors arose, and the fact that she wasn't wanted by her own family had never been a secret in all honesty.
perhaps that was why they talked to her. she was a kim first and foremost, and no one bothered to know who minkyung was before her last name.
she could handle that. she could still handle that — what difference did it make if she were shunned by the public as well, right? this was better! no one was lying to her anymore, and she only had herself, the only person she could trust.
she didn't care about anything else.
her grades flunk. she was kicked from her organizations and clubs because of her behavior. but she didn't care. she didn't care, because this was better! she was tired of everything.
it reached the point where she would fight others—boys and girls alike, physical and verbal whenever she was provoked. it would seem as though her patience had never existed in the first place. and no matter how many times she was brought to the discipline office, no parent arrived — only the head butler of the mansion minkyung was banished to.
she didn't care. she threw it all away at the age of fifteen.
it was only when she had sent three boys a year older than her at age seventeen that she had finally gotten the attention of her parents. yet like the first time, of course, their eyes were filled with disappointment. pure, utter disappointment. this time, she didn't cry.
this time, she grinned, and raised her middle finger at them in all her bruised and injured glory.
the following week, she was sent overseas to the west. london would be her home for three years, and she had adapted to the culture a few months after her arrival. this was to fix her, or so that was what her parents had reasoned.
too bad for them, when she returned to south korea three years later, it seemed as though she had only gone worst. not only did she not take a course aligned with the kims' chosen career, she had also grown more stubborn and more... unafraid to speak her mind.
but what did she care, right? she would choose how to live this time around, and she wouldn't put everything in her parents' approval anymore. no. this time, she was going to live for herself.
that was her promise to herself.

if death is the end, that what's the point? if oblivion is where we'll all end up, then what's the point of us scrambling around, looking for a reason to live as if that'll change how everything ends?
