The reason why I said I ruined their lives once before and the reason for my trauma was because of what happened in Mr Kim’s study.
I was already scared of the man after that incident where he carried that naked and frightened boy back to his study and I was even more on guard when my grandmother told me he wanted to tutor me.
A lot of time passed since then and I was older than the little boy he had brought with him so I felt it was okay. He wouldn’t target me anymore.
That’s what I thought.
Well, it was already confirmed that the twins had selective mutism. At first, I thought it was because they didn’t know how to speak Korean clearly but even when they got better, they still stayed mute around a lot of people and only talked to me.
Unless they really wanted to say something, their mouths were sealed tight at all times.
We played mostly in the garden and rarely stayed in their room.
For some reason, they didn’t like their own room. Probably because it was dark almost all the time.
One day, I went to visit them, like every other day. I was 17 then. Relatively bigger than I was when we first met.
Ugh, well, I wish. I didn’t grow much in height and it looked like the twins were already catching up to me.
