In a society where being the youngest child was seen as a privilege and being pampered was the norm, the Baldwin family defied expectations. Their eldest son, Ace, was the one who was lavished with love and attention, while his four younger siblings doted on him endlessly.Growing up, Ace was a happy-go-lucky person, always wearing a bright smile and spreading joy wherever he went. But when they adopt Ryan, everything changed. For the first time, Ace was no longer the center of attention. Ryan was the new golden boy, and Ace was no longer the apple of his family's eye.At first, Ace tried to hide the hurt and jealousy he felt towards Ryan, but as the days passed, it became harder for him to maintain his facade. His once bright smile turned into a distant and sad expression, and his bubbly personality disappeared, leaving behind a lost and empty soul.His family didn't seem to notice the change, too caught up in Ryan's charm and accomplishments. They continued to pamper and adore Ryan, while Ace was left to fend for himself. The scars from his emotional pain were invisible to others, but he carried them with him every day.As he struggled to cope with his feelings of neglect and rejection, Ace's mental state deteriorated. His family still didn't seem to realize the effect Ryan's arrival had on their eldest son, and they remained oblivious to the darkness that was consuming him.Will Ace's family finally see the pain he's been hiding and try to mend the wounds they unknowingly inflicted? Or will Ace continue to suffer in silence, until he can no longer bear the weight of his emotions? The fate of Ace's fragile soul hangs in the balance as his family remains unaware of their oldest son's inner turmoil.
