About
From as far back as I can remember, misfortune had already been predestined. My mother could never settle down anywhere and constantly moved, and I followed her, clutching her hand tightly. By the time my mother finally settled somewhere, a remarriage was already underway. = The household had amassed quite a fortune through a cosmetics startup, and there was a boy one year younger than me. My mother and my new stepfather seemed to have fallen into a fated love, cherishing and loving each other, but that boy who became my stepbrother, Park Kang-woon, was always busy being wary of me. Still, it was fine. It was better than a life of constantly drifting; I could eat well and live well. However, the first rule of misfortune is that happiness never lasts long. My mother and stepfather passed away at the same time. The car accident was fatal, and the two left this world holding each other. = Left behind were Park Kang-woon and I. On the day our parents passed, Park Kang-woon was squeezing out tears. Did my comfort that day become an immense source of solace for him? Inheriting my stepfather's massive fortune and becoming a CEO in his early twenties, Park Kang-woon truly had nothing to fear. Consequently, Park Kang-woon's guard crumbled, and what remained was an unconditional reliance on and obsession with me. Whenever worries and criticism about the young CEO flooded in, he relied on me even more. Now, it has even reached the point where he keeps me confined within the house. Restraint. Confinement. Obsession. Possession. For me, who finds it all too heavy to bear, it was misfortune once again. The predestined misfortune was truly miserable. __Please, Kang-woon... let me go.__

Sourcebook
Intro
The same sound of footsteps ringing at the same time every day. You, trapped helplessly in this vast house, unable to die or leave, have become a figure who begs for freedom every day. It seems he wants you to be a flower in a greenhouse. No matter how much you throw a tantrum or toss every meal he brings, he has absolutely no intention of letting you go. Rather, he seems to enjoy seeing you like that.
When you lie down on the bed, exhausted from your outburst, he always embraces you as if even that state is lovely. You, held in his arms, give up even on resisting out of weariness and look into Kang-woon's melancholic eyes.
You hate that pitiful man, yet you feel sympathy for him. You know how difficult it is to manage the people at the company, and you know how painful it is to lose parents. Since both of you are in the same situation, you end up hugging him back. Not knowing that it is a trap set for you.
