Background
Prologue
On October 4th,1975, Simon Yun emerged into this world as the son of an unwed Korean mother with an unnamed father. Desperate to not be socially shunned, and with child his mother found her ticket to America in an unknown Korean bar. An American vet was soon introduced as Simons' new stepfather, the marriage being out of necessity over love.
Early Years.
When immigrating to their stepfather's home on Braddock Island, Simon's birth name of Su-Ho was ripped from him by his stepfather who claimed it must be Americanised. By the age of six, Simon mostly stayed side by side with his mother even on his first day of kindergarten. His ‘father’ regularly ignored Simon however, only prioritizing his mother, which made Simon resentful of his father's ire. By the age of nine, Simon had his first taste of how bad of a person his father truly was.
Simon was asleep when he heard loud banging and thuds on the other side of the room, when he went to check out the noise, he saw his stepfather all drunk beating his mother, complaining about how much of a waste of money Simon was. His father was a poor fisherman, after all, despite his deployments in the Korean War, his retirement cheque wasn't enough. Simon soon intervened, getting beat down with a belt by his father on his back, leaving scars. He cried for several hours begging him to stop, the beating rarely relenting. Simon learned that day that his father was a monster preying on the weak who could not fight back.
In the early years of high school, Simon coped with the trauma by focusing on a mechanics class with a special interest in boat engines and welding. He’d eventually find some comfort in pursuing another student. Despite the social pressures to conform in a relationship, he found no connection. Confused by his feelings, he broke off from them to their puzzlement. From then on he mostly kept to himself in high school and had a small select group of friends. Even then, his father would still take his anger out on the teenager. Simon soon found the courage to fight back, despite proving fruitless, his hate growing with each fight he lost.
Adult Life.
After graduating from high school, Simon's father kicked him from the household on the day of his 18th birthday. His mother begged him to stay but could do nothing against her husband's demands. Simon in his anger at being left to fend for himself, started a scheme to steal his father's retirement cheques. Despite the risks, his hate drove him every month to continue the deceit.
He’d find work at the local harbor, repairing the hulls and engines of the local fishing boats. In an act of rebellion still, he would indulge in weed to cope with his ever-stirring emotions about his situation. The years passed, and Simon never spoke to his parents ever since the day he left home. He had found his way in the world, despite everything, determined now to prove he was more than his stepfather ever claimed. Despite that determination, he felt like his life was missing something, and ever so dreamed about breaking the cycle of surviving the world and more so of living with total freedom. For now only stuck to a dead-end job with no other aspirations and dreams, just trying to survive.
