Chapter 6

ผู้เขียน: Pumpkin Scoop
The smile on Dad's face froze instantly. It was as if he thought he had misheard me. He stepped closer and grabbed my arm.

"What did you just say? Say it again. What out-of-state college?"

I shook off his hand without answering and turned to walk down the mountain. The night wind whipped against my face, stinging my cheeks. However, I had never felt so light. It was as if a burden I had carried for two lifetimes had finally begun to lift.

Dad chased after me, cursing the entire way.

  • Every Time He Climbed   Chapter 13

    I looked Dad straight in the eye. With the last bit of strength I had left, I gave him my clearest, coldest, and most desperate warning I had given since my rebirth."Dad, don't even think about following me this time. If you try to come after me again, or interfere with my life in any way... you can find out for yourself whether I'd be willing to jump from an even higher place this time."The hand holding the exchange application trembled like a leaf in the fall wind.Dad stared into my eyes. The determination and the emptiness, they pierced through the last illusion he had been clinging to like an icy blade.At last, he understood.The son who had obeyed him since childhood was gone. He had died beneath years of relentless control and he had died on that rooftop, in the freezing wind.The person standing before him was no longer the son he remembered. It was someone else. A soul covered in scars. Someone who had been driven to the edge, someone willing to risk everything just t

    "N-No... That's not true..." Dad shook his head frantically. His face had gone as white as paper as he instinctively took a step backward.It was as if that single sheet of paper weighed a thousand pounds. As if it burned too much for him to bear."I was doing it for his own good... I was just afraid he'd get hurt... I was afraid he'd make the wrong choices... I'm his father!""That's exactly why your actions have affected him so deeply." The counselor's voice softened, but her resolve did not. "Love is not control. It is not surveillance, and it should never come at the cost of a child's independence or mental well-being."Real love is built on respect, and it's knowing when to let go. It's allowing him to become the person he wants to be. Even if he falls, even if he takes the long way around, because that is his life to live."What you need to do now isn't watch over him even more closely. You need to step back. Give him space and support his treatment. And honestly, I believe

    The comments section was almost completely one-sided. Every single commenter was attacking me.[What's wrong with young people these days? His father quit his job and moved near the university just to take care of him, and he still wants to drive his own dad away?][What an ungrateful brat. His father sacrificed so much for him, and this is how he repays him?][Someone like him doesn't deserve a father like that.]It did not take long before people dug up my name, my major, and even the college I attended. They flooded the school's official social media accounts, demanding that the university punish me. Some even demanded that I be expelled.Soon, my private messages were overflowing with hateful comments. People even came to my dorm building to secretly take pictures of me. They posted the photos online with captions mocking and humiliating me.I knew it was time to fight back.This time... I had to do it differently.I climbed to the roof of one of the campus buildings. The w

    It did not take long before almost everyone on campus knew about me. Everyone on campus knew about the freshman named Maverick whose father had moved near the university just to keep an eye on him.Everything in my life was under his control, from what I ate and wore to who I spent time with and even where I went. Nothing happened without Dad's approval.Before long, my roommates started keeping their distance. No one invited me to class anymore, and no one asked me to grab lunch with them. Every time I walked across campus, I could hear people whispering behind my back."That's him, isn't it? The guy who couldn't even leave his dad after coming to college.""His dad controls every part of his life. Has he ever even lived on his own?""I heard his dad works as a security guard here. He watches him every single day. That's honestly creepy."Eventually, even the dorm supervisor asked to speak with me. She hoped I could resolve the situation as soon as possible so it would not conti

    I had already earned most of my tuition through part-time jobs. Between that and my scholarship, I had more than enough to cover the rest. Once I got to the Northeast, I could keep working, support myself, and never have to spend another dollar of his money.Most importantly, I would finally be free of his control.The day I left for college, Dad insisted on coming with me. I did not want him to. However, he held tightly onto my suitcase, saying it was my first time traveling so far from home and he could not stop worrying about me.In the end, I could not talk him out of it.Several hours later, we finally arrived in the Northeast.Dragging my suitcase behind me, I headed to the admissions office to complete my enrollment. Dad stayed by my side the entire time, running back and forth. He looked even busier than I was.By the time I moved everything into my dorm room and finished unpacking, it was already afternoon.I pulled out my phone, ready to buy him a ticket home. "Dad, I'

  • Every Time He Climbed   Chapter 8

    When I was at my lowest, no one spoke up for me.When my wife cheated on me and beat me, no one stood by my side.When I jumped off that rooftop, no one asked if it had hurt.Why was I the one who always had to be the bigger person?During this period, I ate when I was hungry and slept when I was tired. Life could not have felt more carefree. The chaos outside my bedroom might as well have had nothing to do with me.I knew that as long as I held out until my admission papers arrived, there would be nothing Dad could do.Half a month later, it finally arrived. The delivery driver knocked on the front door. I heard Dad answer it and sign for the package. Then came the sound of paper being ripped apart.It was loud and violent. He was tearing them open with all his strength."Maverick! Get out here!" He pounded on my bedroom door, his voice dripping with hatred.When I opened the door, I saw him holding the admission packet in shredded pieces. Bits of paper slipped through his fi
