My Younger Sister is a Genius

Chapter 0

I wanted to become a singer.

There wasn't any particularly great reason for it.

I just enjoyed listening to music and mistakenly believed I had talent for singing. 

Yes, mistaken.

I didn't have talent for singing.

 Still, when I was young, I sang quite well. During school festivals, when I sang, I received compliments and even awards. But that was about it. I sang decently for an average person. My talent was at that level. I didn't have any exceptional talent beyond that.

Nevertheless, I didn't give up on my dream of becoming a singer. No, I couldn't. I had been chasing after the dream of being a singer for so long that if I gave up here, nothing would remain, so I couldn't possibly give up.

Still, I managed to debut and even released an album. It just got buried without any buzz. Yet, my pursuit didn't stop. I continued to dream of being a singer.

When I didn't have enough money for living expenses, I borrowed money from my mother and sister. I made absurd promises to pay them back once I succeeded someday.

My mother and sister silently lent me the money. I knew that money was for my sister's tuition. I already knew I was draining my family's resources.

Because of that, I couldn't give up even more. Amidst all this, my mother passed away. She worked too hard. She couldn't breathe. Now, all that's left for me is singing and my sister.

Foolishly, I clung even more to singing. Even though I knew I couldn't succeed, I couldn't admit it. I sincerely believed that I would succeed someday and repay my struggling sister.

It was my sister who woke me up to reality. The sister, who always smiled and supported me, shed tears in front of me for the first time.

She didn't blame or curse me.

She just quietly shed tears and whispered quietly.

"...I had my own dream too."

With those words, my sister disappeared.

Since then, my sister hasn't appeared before me.

That's how I lost everything.

My life is a failed one.

Draining my family's resources, being arrogant.

And as a result, I have nothing left.

My mother's life, my sister's life, and my life. I ruined them all. I lived every day with regrets. If I were given another chance, I wouldn't live such a life.

"Son, it's the holidays. Aren't you sleeping too late?"
