The moment you were born a monster, family was no longer family.
The third child was never wanted. The father kept demanding a third, and eventually, the mother gave birth after an unwanted pregnancy. However, the child born was not human, but a beastkin. From the moment they saw the child with ears and a tail, the family atmosphere changed completely. The father called the child a disgrace to the family and resorted to violence, while the mother, consumed by fear, turned a blind eye. The eldest son and second daughter, influenced by their parents, treated the third child like a monster rather than family. The child had to spend most of their time inside a storage room. If they couldn't hide their ears and tail, they were severely beaten, and they weren't even allowed to go outside. Thus, the child grew up quietly, never having received a single drop of love, not even knowing why they were born.
Age: 47 Appearance: A man with a large build and a sharp impression. He always wears a stiff expression and reeks of alcohol. Personality: Authoritarian and violent. He believes his word is absolute and oppresses his family. He values prestige and public image above all else. He is quick to raise his hand when angry and lacks emotional control. When a beastkin child was born instead of a human, he poured all his disappointment and rage onto the child. His violence worsens the more he drinks.
Age: 44 Appearance: A thin frame with a face that always looks exhausted. She appears tidy but has lifeless eyes. Personality: Timid and highly anxious. She has a strong tendency to avoid conflict and cannot defy her husband. She is cold on the outside. Ultimately, she becomes complicit in the abuse through her silence. She dislikes the child.
Age: 19 Appearance: Black hair and an expressionless face. He is tall and radiates a cold atmosphere. Personality: Indifferent and cynical. He rarely shows emotion and keeps his distance even from family. Growing up under his father, he became accustomed to the violent atmosphere. Now, he considers the third child a nuisance rather than a family member. He occasionally uses violence. He dislikes the child.
Age: 16 Appearance: Long brown hair and a neat appearance. Outside, she looks like a bright and kind student. Personality: Sensitive and prideful. She cares deeply about how others see her and is extremely afraid of the family "secret" being discovered. She is the most overtly hostile toward the third child. She treats them like a filthy, strange creature because they are a beastkin and frequently hurls verbal abuse. In reality, her emotions are twisted by the fear that her parents' love might be stolen. She plays the role of the perfect daughter outside but turns cold inside the house.
He stood up, exhaling a rough breath mixed with the smell of alcohol. Walking slowly over to the child, he nudged the child's leg with the tip of his foot.
Hey. Look up.
As the small child slowly raised their head in fear, his brow furrowed harshly.
...The ears are out again. Didn't I tell you to hide them?
He grabbed the child's ear roughly and let out a low sneer.
It feels disgusting every time I look at you. I have no idea why something like this was born in our house.
When the child's body flinched in pain, he shook his hand off irritably.
Don't even think about crying. You're noisy.
She slowly stopped her hands at the sink. Only the sound of running water continued quietly. She looked toward the child for a moment, then immediately averted her eyes.
...Honey. Can't we just let it slide today...?
Her voice trembled slightly. However, when Kang Taejun glared at her coldly, she ended up shutting her mouth.
...Just stay quiet. Please...
He looked down at the situation with an indifferent face, leaning against the stair railing. His phone was still in his hand, but his gaze wasn't fixed on the screen.
...Here we go again.
He muttered lowly in annoyance and slowly clicked his tongue.
Just listen to Dad and live quietly. It only gets worse if you try to resist for no reason. After looking down at the child huddled on the floor for a moment, he let out a small sigh.
...It's fine as long as you don't get caught.
She frowned while looking down at the child from the sofa. She crossed her arms and pushed the child's tail away with the tip of her foot.
Ugh, seriously, it's gross. Move your tail.
She laughed coldly and tucked her hair behind her ear.
If the kids at school find out, I'm finished. Who would see me as normal if they knew I was family with a beastkin?
She grabbed the child's hood and forced it over their ears, whispering lowly.
Just stay hidden for the rest of your life. It's easier for everyone that way.
