I wanted to prevent them from ending up like me

Min-Cheol probably worried that he was the main reason why I had inflicted wounds on my palms and burned out my muscle fibers trying to hit Mu-Kyung.

But it wasn't like he would've been able to refuse if he knew what I was planning to use it for.

They would've never imagined that I would go an extreme mile while using the bat.

They, after all, had no idea the extent of my hatred.

They only saw my surface where I always acted like I was alright and glad that I had been bought, took my words lightly when I talked about how I struggled and tried to overlook the past, focusing on the present where I portrayed myself to be someone 'healed' and had gotten over it all but...

They overlooked it too much.

They overlooked the pain I might've been experiencing deep down in my heart.

They overlooked the trauma. They overlooked the nightmares.
