--Author's Point of View--
In New York lived a teenage girl, lying on her bed for a total of 4 years. She remained unconscious ever since the car accident in South Korea as she went on a business trip with her father, Soonji Go.
It all began with a small argument when the girl met her older sister and dear friend after quite a long time and then, unfortunate things rapidly came along.
This time around, Ivy would be managing the family's business as her husband was always out on his business trips with their company employees, traveling the entire world to negotiate or expand Main Tech even more by establishing projects to promote the products they released.
Ivy had gone up to see her daughter before heading off to work.
She unlocked the door and quietly entered the girl's bedroom.
However, the bed was empty and fixed but the girl was nowhere in sight, the mother looked around to see where her daughter went. Luckily, Ivy noticed that the balcony doorway was left wide open, as the 16-year-old girl sat next to the stone fence, facing the cloudy sky.
The mother hurriedly walked towards her and caused the girl to look her way, and upon seeing the woman, she stood up but looked to be unfamiliar with everything surrounding her including the very people she encountered.
It turned out that the girl had just woken this early morning with her head aching nonstop.
Ivy called for a doctor to check on her daughter's condition, and while the doctor asked her questions that she would have known the answers to, unfortunately, she was diagnosed with memory loss.
Ivy walked back and forth, worried about what to do.
Once she informed her husband about their daughter who returned with no memories, the mother faced the girl and attempted to confirm whether or not she really remembered anything.
"Do you not recall a single thing?" she asked hesitantly, but her daughter opened her mouth but could not say a word, so she closed her mouth again as she couldn't quite comprehend what the woman meant.
Ivy took the girl's hand in hers before she asked for once more.
"Do you still not trust me? I won't tell him, I promise you that." she tried to gain information concerning the accident that occurred 4 years ago, Ivy was certainly worried about everyone her husband crossed paths with, because Soonji isn't someone whom you can trust at all.
She did love the man, however, there was no reason she wouldn't suspect him of doing anything especially since he was the only one with their daughter on the day of the accident.
The girl finally came up with the proper words to say to her mother in a way they would understand one another better than earlier. Ivy confirmed that her child didn't remember a thing.
Hence, it was then decided for the girl to look around their estate to know more about herself or how she was likely to live as the daughter of Ivy Go and Soonji Go.
--Her Point of View--
From the moment I awoke from my sleep, it seemed to me that our family was never the affectionate type since no one besides my 'mother' cared when I was said to have regained consciousness.
Nothing seemed to be off about who I am, this place and my belongings were mostly branded that it appeared as if I lacked nothing in life.
And oh! My name was so oddly too sweet for the way I felt.
'Doesn't it all just seem too perfect or so I thought?'
Starting from the well-designed walls to a circular ceiling exposing the bright sun above the interiors of the furniture which seemed to be made of boreal wood along with all the silky curtains but also fluffy cushions and the bed mattress that were in sync with all these expensive yet unused clothes of mine… And these aesthetic photographs of sceneries in an album.
I must've taken these myself.
'Saying from the photograph of 2 shadows whereas one looked to be my own.'
I looked at the shadow as the sun lit up the whole room right before I heard a yell come from way below this floor and it seemed unsurprising for me to react much, so I ignored it as it felt usual.
Once I did, it came to an end.
I then went towards a desk filled with what looked like gadgets untouched for some time now.
A mirror which was covered up by cloth.
I gasped witnessing the sight as I uncovered the mirror where I saw what a faceless person I was,
I immediately stepped away from the mirror, dropping it on the bare floor while I felt my face and the feeling of doing so reminded me of... Fear?
'I guess that is another thing about me that would probably remain temporarily unknown for now.'
I left the bedroom and headed out to explore the residence, quickly walking past the busy hall filled with many housemaids doing their tasks from one room to the other. Seeing the crowded place made me feel dizzy as well as anxious but it only took a moment before I resumed on my way.
Although they looked fine to be around with, I didn't feel any better about approaching them.
'It appeared to me like I wasn't much of a social person back then.'

As days passed by, I learned a lot more about the family including myself, Honey Lou.
Starting from the day I woke up, it has only been about a week yet they already told me to begin my studies and homeschooling was the only option they gave me.
Ivy stated that our family is widely known.
Hence, it is necessary for me to stay hidden from the public, especially since both the Go and Lee families were famous for being wealthy, and noble, and had the cleanest reputations in the business industry.
Honey Lou can't possibly do anything to attract the public's attention whether it be for good or bad.
Father would always be out on his business trips so it was very peaceful here at home and everyone was free from his 'sensitive' side as Ivy said, while my younger brother, Soojin Go stayed in Germany with a trusted business partner.
He was sent there to do as our father had told him to, such as learning to be a 'true man' who would stand firm on top of the 'tower'. And Ivy handled everything here in New York.
For instance, Main Tech since my father is away, surely someone must manage it all.
There was nothing much to say about our lonely home, thus, I dropped my head on the desk, bored from the same day like any other day.
Even though I have been in a coma for 4 years, they never really bothered to make time for me, not even a single call...
'And that is another thing that I have observed in this family, that they seem pretty distant.'
Not that I would ever have wanted us to gather as one whole family, not after the first time I met with my father who almost forgot he had a daughter.
So here I was, I finished my 1-hour long bath, and was just about to have breakfast all by myself since mother is out again, doing what needs to be done.
As I did mention not so long ago about me not lacking anything in life...
The past few days have already turned into a loop and nothing seemed to be exciting for me to look forward to but at least I had my own things to do unlike theirs.
Going over the photo album as I did every day had already become a habit for me.
I also understood the use of recording voices and backing up files on my laptop from the phone time to time, which I was able to use due to the fingerprint sensor though I still couldn't do anything to change the pin I put up on the lock screen but in spite of all that...
I found out about PLUM the AI that I created myself.
PLUM was programmed to assist me in identifying one's presence around me because I never really told anyone about the disability I was born with called Face Blindness nor do I plan to tell anyone else about it since I knew that revealing my weakness would be something immensely regretful.
I continued how I did things for a month until the time I was somehow interrupted by a soft yet audible knock on my door just as I was submitting my schoolwork, I stumbled on my way to the door to unlock it knowing who it was by the sound they made.
I gave way for Ivy, expecting news after a week of being alone except for the fact that we have lots of housemaids who'd never really interacted much with me.
She walked in as I followed behind trying not to be clumsy for once in my life.
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke up about what she planned to tell me though I didn't expect her to make up her mind in the first place. I was still glad as to what she did for my sake and was not only concerned about my father or her son.
Fortunately, she was able to convince her husband, and I was speechless about him.
He did not bother to prepare anything for me overseas, it was like I was not even welcome here anyway.
Although, I did tell them that I haven't regained my memories yet.
Making distrust the very principle they held onto the most.
'There sure are plenty of doubts within this family of ours.'
