Shin's Day: Problems


Shin is the youngest of two children. She lives with her mother and sister. He actually had a father, but he never knew who it was. His mother had already thrown away and wiped away all signs of his father's whereabouts from the house. And he's not interested in finding out either.


At first, his relationship with his family was normal. They interact with other families. Then one day his mother's attitude suddenly changed. His mother became harder and preferred to rule. When she stepped on the period of Junior High, her mother began to organize all her activities from morning until night. He began to be enrolled into various kinds of training that he did not like. Since then, he has had no time to rest or have fun.


Until now he was still confused, what was the cause of his mother's attitude suddenly changing like that. She actually likes her old mother better. Mother who always smiles and spoils them. But out of nowhere the smile from his mother's face began to disappear and all that was seen was his mother's hard face while commanding herself to do something.


Shin tried to rebel several times. As a result, their relationship deteriorated. His mother began to compare his abilities with her brother, and declared him a useless son. It made her feel hurt. Deep down, she did not want to be hated by her mother. Because his mother was the only parent he had. It was enough since childhood that he was ridiculed for not having a father. And various bad rumors about his mother began to appear because of it.


Shin strengthened his resolve to fulfill his mother's wish. He will do everything even if he doesn't like it. When she is compared to her brother, she will try harder because she does not want to look worse. He only had time to rest when he began to beg his beloved grandfather to speak to his mother. His mother will obey whatever grandfather says. So he felt relieved.


But who knows...Just because the words of a girl are not familiar in her class, everything slowly changes....


It all started that day...The day he set foot on the High School bench.


Actually Shin did not like women very much. He had a bad experience because of the women who had been chasing him since he was a child. Even as he began to open his heart, he unintentionally heard the talk of the women silently. Those women only wanted his wealth and power! This made him hate women even more.


His life has not changed. The women always swarmed and surrounded him. He couldn't kick them out so he could only ignore them. The longer he got used to thinking of the women as just passing air.


When he arrives at High School, two girls accidentally interest him. A fierce poor girl who had once scolded him. And a foolish girl who always looked at the men around her with eyes full of desire and drooling, like she was looking at a good prey.


The poor girl he met first at the school gate started to interest him because the girl's eyes weren't as interested in him as the other girls. The girl even scolded him and snapped at him. Proving that this species is very different from the usual species.


Then that stupid girl, at first she didn't really care. Because he thinks the girl is the same as any other girl, always looking at him with passion. At first he thought the girl would chase and cling to him. But the assumption is wrong! The girl looked at him with a crazy look as if she was imagining something, but did not approach him at all. And even worse, he even looked at the other man with such eyes! It's not that Shin doesn't like it. But the women's eyes were always on him. But this woman not only looked at him, but at other men as well. I don't know why his pride doesn't.


This foolish girl was also a new and unique species in her eyes. The girl who always looked at the men with lustful gazes and made him slightly shudder in fear. He recalled the bad memories of being followed by the stalking girls. The stalker girl had the same look as the stupid girl. Fortunately the foolish girl not only directed that horrible look at him, but the other man as well. So that makes his vigilance a little loosened.


Once the foolish girl stated that she always saw him "just because he was handsome", and also she uttered the words "you're not my type", "I'm not going to make someone like you a girlfriend" which makes him a little flinched.


'So that's why the girl's eyes are always beautiful when looking at men?' He didn't mean for that stupid girl to be interested in him. But his words back then hurt his pride.


'Not her type? Don't want to make someone like me a girlfriend? Doesn't that mean I'm a bad person?'


This was not the first time he had heard words of rejection. He always heard that from his mother. So that it touched the pain that was so deeply harbored in his heart.


Finally, he decided to speak carefully to the girl. The reason why she was attracted to him, but could not make him the closest person like a girlfriend. And the girl's answer surprised him! The girl said she liked it. But his attitude was always indifferent, cold and indifferent no matter it lowered his interest. This makes him flinch. He always behaved like this because he always did not care about the things that were happening around him.


When did he start to change?


'I guess since my mother also changed and started to pressure me'. Ever since my mother set me up, my emotions have changed. I began to ignore everything around me. And that's when I also started learning to ignore the girls who were chasing me and the people I thought were insignificant.


He did not know, that slowly his attitude began to deteriorate towards everyone around him. Even family. Their familial ties have become increasingly strained. Though she used to always be spoiled with her brother and her brother always protected her. But now she always ignored her brother when his sister approached him. He was always cold and ignored his mother. The mother was always angry because of her attitude.


Eventually, he decided to self-introspect and change his attitude. Even if he cannot change his attitude at once, he will try slowly. So he starts with the easiest, which is to say hello. Before leaving school, he began to greet his sister and mother. Which made the two people instantly flinch.


After that, he began to open up to his family. He started talking to his brother again. And start talking to her mom when she doesn't like something. Who would have thought, his mother who was always being tough was following his request. She never knew that her mother had never forced her. His mother just wanted him to get the best. So when he doesn't like it, he can reject it. At that time Shin realized.why hasn't he been like this since? Talking to her mother and sister about her complaints? His mother didn't force him if he didn't want to. If he had been like this a long time ago, their family relationships would not have been strained like this.


Deep down, Shin was very grateful to the foolish girl. He realized something important in him. And slowly, her relationship with her family also improved.


"It's all because of him" Shin thought with a smile.
