Summary
Hongjoong used to dream of mornings like this—mornings full of laughter, no pain or anxiety, no fear of what his father had planned for him, no obstacles keeping him from his brothers, no days of starvation until he earned the right to eat. He dreamed of mornings where he didn't have to prove he deserved to exist.
Now, as he watches San tackle Yeosang into the puppy pile of brothers, he believes he's finally accomplished that dream.
--
After a cruel start to life, Seonghwa and Hongjoong were lucky enough to escape the hellhole they called home for eighteen years. Moving away to the city, they work hard to give their six little brothers the normalcy and structure that was absent from their own childhoods, ensuring no one—family or not—can hurt the kids again.
But blood is thick and leaves a trail, and when an unwelcome ghost from the past reappears, it threatens to unravel the new life they've built.
Not if Hongjoong has something to say about it.
--
Slice of life, Ateez brothers, and a really fucked up past. You can't go wrong with that recipe.
