오빠는 정말 이상할 정도로 집착이 강한 사람이었다. 내가 열 살이 되던 해, 부모님이 돌아가셨고 나는 오빠를 구하려다가 두 다리를 다쳤다. 나는 오빠의 유일한 가족이었고, 나는 그에게 무엇보다 소중한 존재였다. 그의 세계에서 나는 건드리면 안 되는 마지노선이었다. 그 후, 오빠는 내 다리를 비웃던 사람들의 뼈를 직접 부수었고, 나에게 손을 대거나 나를 괴롭힌 자는 처참하게 살해했다. 나중에 오빠는 우리 집의 재산을 되찾았고, H시에서 누구도 감히 건드릴 수 없는 ‘저승사자’라는 이름을 얻게 되었다. 하지만 그 누구보다 나를 아끼고, 공주처럼 대했다. 모두가 알고 있었다. 고민우의 여동생은 건드려서는 안 된다는 사실을. 오빠는 내 다리를 치료하기 위해 해외 최고의 병원에 나를 보냈다. 내가 다시 서서 걸을 수 있게 되었을 때, 어느 날 오빠의 결혼 청첩장을 받게 되었다. [민희야, 곧 우리에게 새로운 가족이 생길 거야.] 나의 예비 형수님, 백이슬은 명문가의 아가씨인 데다가 아주 따뜻하고 착한 사람이라고 들었다. 나는 기쁜 마음으로, 엄마가 남겨준 옥팔찌를 예쁘게 포장해 선물로 준비했다. 그날, 나는 고운 옷을 입고 그녀를 만나러 갔다. 하지만 백이슬은 갑자기 나를 폐건물로 끌고 갔다. “이 여우 같은 년아, 감히 내 남자를 유혹해? 내가 네 얼굴을 찢어버릴 거야!” 백이슬은 엄마의 유품인 옥팔찌를 깨뜨린 것도 모자라, 나의 팔과 다리를 부러뜨렸고 내 얼굴마저 찢었다. 그리고 열 명이 넘는 남자들을 데려왔다. 그들은 나를 산채로 괴롭혔고 나는 그 고통 속에서 숨을 거두게 되었다. 백이슬은 나를 작은 상자에 담아 오빠에게 주었다. “자기야, 이건 내가 준비한 결혼 선물이야. 마음에 들어?”
