章節 147: Truth Beneath the Lies [3]

His mother loved him.

His father was proud of him.

His little sister looked up to him.

And because of that, he wanted to make sure he never disappointed them.

He wanted to meet their expectations, to be everything they believed he could be.

He made sure to never slack off, to keep pushing forward. After all, with a father who was a renowned diplomat and a mother who was a successful doctor, how could anyone not expect him to reach the same heights?

To surpass them?

They say a child is the best version of their parents.

And despite the weight of all that, he loved them deeply in return. He wanted nothing more than to make them proud, so he threw himself into every opportunity he could find.

Theater, basketball, football, music, art, science…

He tried it all.

He became somewhat skilled at it all.
