Chapter 1

==================================================

Plummeting over the balcony edge, Yewon confronted the harsh realities of her existence.

Adored by advertisers as a prodigy performer.

Holder of the record as youngest recipient of Best Actress honors.

Those achievements meant nothing amid her constant misery.

True contentment had vanished years earlier.

Her sole remaining parent had perished abruptly in a hit-and-run collision.

Strangers posing as kin had entered her world then—her supposed uncle alongside his offspring, cousin Jeyeon—since no true blood relations remained nearby.

Merely seven years old, guardianship became essential for survival.

From that juncture, her path twisted into torment.

Exhaustion from relentless workloads prompted pleas for downtime, only for Uncle to invoke the crushing debts her mother had accumulated.

Vicious online vitriol and assaults drew desperate appeals, met with Jeyeon’s scornful dismissal.

Persistent advances from an elderly director, akin to a grandfather figure, sparked protests of incapacity to continue; their joint response urged mere tolerance as industry norm.

Somehow, she withstood those burdens.

Intolerable proved the deeper betrayal.

A bid to unveil their deceptions elicited fury.

Proof of their imposture? Mere accusations?

Threats of exposure? They wouldn’t yield without resistance, citing her lucrative earnings.

No further concealment necessary; admissions flowed.

Her genuine kin existed elsewhere, dispatching regular stipends like naive benefactors, imploring proper care.

Deception thrived under familial pretense, fueled solely by greed.

Belief in their authenticity had demanded endurance amid suffering.

Familial bonds operated thus, or so she endured.

Discovery shattered every illusion.

Fake Uncle and fake cousin had thrust her into the void.

Imminent impact loomed to snap her neck fatally.

Echoing the tragic finale of her prior performance.

Resignation settled as Yewon shut her eyelids, embracing oblivion.

Eternal respite awaited, alongside reunion with her mother.

Delay puzzled her.

Curiosity pried her gaze open amid the anomaly.

An unfamiliar presence materialized before her.

Fluffy alabaster fuzz encased mismatched crimson orbs of malice.

A novel scenario unfolded—a juvenile performer untouched by prior summons.

Her raw potential and seething resentment intrigued deeply.

Deliberation flickered across its features.

Sympathy acknowledged her injustice; authentic upbringing might have altered destiny.

Reflection countered: those distant providers mirrored the exploiters.

Clarification pierced: true kin hadn’t forsaken her.

Insecurity in parenting roles led to delegation toward a deemed superior caretaker.

Circumstances warranted understanding.

Follow-up visits absent, oversight unchecked—mere appearance could have revealed the abuse.

Accountability rested with grown-ups.

Tragedy preempted intervention; her bloodline perished amid labyrinthine adult entanglements.

Pity soured the loss; prime clientele evaporated prematurely.

Elucidation on VIP status jarred before comprehension dawned.

Irrelevant details aside, pivotal proposal emerged.

Pact formation beckoned, promising renewal.

Temptation of revival scattered hesitations.

Temporal regression targeted the burial rite marking calamity’s onset.

Resurrection impossible, yet alternate trajectory viable.

Viability crystallized in retrospection.

Existence reborn entirely.

Vengeance against tormentors attainable.

Caution tempered eagerness; scrutiny preceded commitment.

Deception’s prior sting lingered—from post-bereavement entrapment via Uncle’s sham agreement, inescapable snare.

Singular stipulation: secure Best Actress accolade prior to maturity, forfeiture invoking dire repercussions.

Feasibility gleamed; prior triumph assured repeatability.

Affirmation sealed the accord.

Final boon for retribution queried.

Life’s ledger surfaced instinctively.

Identity of authentic lineage demanded revelation.

Cotton Ball’s query elicited its sly grin.

Intense scrutiny fixed upon the entity.

Intrigue pondered alternate nurturing under blood ties—transformative divergence probable?

Ominous timbre resounded concurrently.

Darkness engulfed reality.

Familiarity compounded peril; recognition sharpened dread.

Prosper amid your ‘Real Family’!

Eyelids parted to nightmare’s core.

Pitying murmurs echoed.

Dire straits for the bereft youngster.

Absence of kin confirmed in whispers.

Recurring hauntings revisited precisely.

Yewon surveyed her diminutive frame clad in somber garb.

Regression confirmed—to tender age seven, nascent career with solitary credit.

Small palms anchored the verity beyond delusion.

Authoritative interruption resounded rearward.

Claim of avuncular bond asserted amid demands for clearance.

Swift pivot unveiled him: Fake Uncle, rejuvenated from final encounters, proffering feigned benevolence outstretched.

Introductions proffered warmly.

Long-term expatriation delayed kinship encounter, maternal sibling declared.

Chilly disdain fixed upon the proffered grasp, rejection absolute.

Flustered intercession from trailing figure.

Her lifetime plunderer, counterfeit kin, urged compliance.

Vigorous denial shook her frame? No—declaration erupted.

Fervent repudiation branded him fraud.

Denouncement ignited communal buzz.

Scam suspicions swirled—inheritor predation probable.

Unfamiliarity unlikely for blood recognition.

Escalating din drenched Fake Uncle in perspiration.

Dismissal as misrecognition faltered against her poise.

Assertion intensified; imposture absolute.

True avuncular identity poised for proclamation.

Urgency propelled her ascent.

Imperious gesture directed collective focus afar within the venue.

Spotlight converged.
