Taeyong sits in his dimly lit room, looking out the window with tired eyes filled with worry.

Taeyong: (to himself) "How am I going to face all these problems? Dad was always here, carrying the burdens and paying the bills. Now I'm alone..."

He hears a faint knock on the door.

Taeyong: (wearily) "Come in."

Youngji enters, hesitantly approaching and sitting on the bed beside Taeyong.

Youngji: (hesitantly) "I'm sorry to bother you, but I don't know what to do... The family's financial situation seems to be getting worse day by day."

Taeyong: (sadly) "I'm worried too, Youngji. But we have to be strong together. We'll find a way to overcome these difficulties."

peak appears at the door, crying heavily.

Peak: (tearfully) "Taeyong, bro! I lost my favorite toy, and I feel like everything is falling apart around me!"

Taeyong: (calm and reassuring) "I'll help you look for it, peak. But we must stay strong. We're one family, and we'll overcome these challenges together."

The siblings open up, exchanging thoughts and feelings, trying to bear the financial and familial pressures ahead of them.

Taeyong paces in the kitchen, contemplating the walls with eyes filled with worry and pressure.

Taeyong: (muttering to himself) "How are we going to get through these difficulties? Expenses are increasing day by day, and the salary barely covers the basics."

Youngji and Peak confront Taeyong in the kitchen.

Youngji: (concerned) "Taeyong, can you pay the rent this month? I've thought about selling some of our valuables, but I don't think it'll be enough."

Taeyong: (anxiously) "I don't know, Youngji. I'll try to find a solution. And damn, I can't afford to lose the apartment too!"

peak: (brokenly) "Taeyong, what are we going to do? I don't want to lose our home. I don't want us to be homeless."

Taeyong faces increasing challenges and feels the mental pressure as he desperately tries to find solutions to the mounting financial problems.

Taeyong: (tired and disheartened) "I need to think of something, any solution. I can't leave the family homeless... I can't do that."

Tensions rise within the family, exacerbating conflicts and pressures, putting Taeyong in a tough spot that's hard to overcome.

Taeyong returns home after a tough day at work, feeling exhausted and weary.

Taeyong: (muttering) "Finally, back home. I hope everyone's okay."

Taeyong opens the door but finds it eerily quieter than usual.

Taeyong: "Is anyone home?"

Taeyong hears the unsettling sound of silence and begins searching for his family members.

Taeyong: "Where are you, peak-han? Where's Youngji?"

Taeyong searches every corner of the house but finds no one. He feels anxiety and panic creeping in.

Taeyong: "Where are you guys?!"

Finally, Taeyong finds peak lying on the floor, his small body sprawled in a pool of blood.

Taeyong: "No, this can't be real!"

Investigations ensue, speculations rise about what happened, but Taeyong feels deep guilt and pain for losing his brother.

Taeyong: "Little brother... I'm sorry I didn't protect you enough. Life has betrayed me."

As Taeyong's state of panic and sorrow intensifies, he remains silent for a long time before making a difficult decision.

Taeyong: "I can't bear this... I don't have the money to go to the hospital. I have to find another way."

Taeyong decides to make a tough choice, burying peak in the forest alone, amidst his tears and deep pain.
