it was a stormy night, raindrops dripping from the sky to the ground as the thunders growled.
"i'm sorry mother" and a gunshot was heard. aeyoung was scared, she didn't know where to hide, where to hide from her brother.
he loved his family, so why? why would he do this? why would he kill his own family?
without any other choice, aeyoung hid in the closet. panting, she placed her hand on top of her mouth to make her breathing less audible.
"aeyoung, where are you?" her brother yelled, his tone made him sound like a madman.
her breathing became much more harsh than before, she was too nervous — she didn't want to die, she wanted to hug her brother and figure everything out with him. but seeing him kill their parents, she lost all of her hope.
footsteps became louder as time goes by, signifying that he was near — near to kill aeyoung.
she was refraining herself from crying. her lips were trembling, her body was shaking, and her skin was pale as ever.
and without sparing any other second, the closet doors opened, revealing doyoung with a gun and a tear-stained cheek. he didn't want to do it, he just had to.
"doyoung oppa please don't!" she pleaded, well, her life was in danger, one wrong move and she's dead.
"i'm sorry aeyoung, oppa has to do it" doyoung said as he was sniffling.
aeyoung was quivering in fear, she never thought that her own brother would do this to her, to them.
"please oppa, no!" she yelled loudly, she was too scared, she had no control over her mind nor her body.
"run" doyoung muttered, which took aeyoung by surprise.
"what?" the latter asked, unsure of what he said.
"run before i kill you" he yelled while pointing the gun at her, without second thinking, aeyoung immediately ran out of the house, she ran to who knows where? she decided to just go where her feet takes her.
after minutes of running, she realized that she was nowhere near home, she was in a random and foreign street, a street which is new to her.
the rain was still pouring and she was drenched from the rain, she didn't care, she didn't care as long as she was still alive.
looking down, she walked, ignoring how her feet were now tired from all the running she did.
since she wasn't looking straight, she bumped into a man who was nearly the same age as her, she was still twelve years old, she was too young, too young to experience this traumatic event.
"hey are you okay?" the mysterious man asked, making her wake up from her trance.
"y-yes i'm okay" that was all she said before breaking out in tears, the tears she held in earlier, she was hurt, not physically, but mentally and emotionally.
"you're not okay, why don't you come with me?" the man said, she was still contemplating but come to think of it, she had no choice but to join him, maybe he was trustworthy, and so, she nodded.
"i'm mingi, by the way" the male, mingi, introduced himself.
"uhm i'm aeyoung"
