his dad plops down on the sofa, eyes scanning the description that scrolled on the screen. "woah, how inhumane."

junmyeon chuckled half-heartedly. "y-yeah. such people should be damned to hell, huh?"

"i swear i'll hunt them down myself. they don't deserve to live anyway." his dad replies casually, eyes still glued on the screen. subconsciously, junmyeon's eyes flicker to the police uniform hanging proud at the doorway. his dad takes pride in his job.

he excuses himself and walks back to his room.

shutting the curtains, he let himself drown in the darkness.
