"You're sleeping soundly."
"Now all we have to do is move it."
thud.
Thud.
Thud.
ha.
ha.
ha.
All I can hear is my heartbeat and my breathing.
Must live.
I have to get out.
I jumped out of bed.
"Eww!"
He ran to the door, screaming.
When I hit the old man in the head, he staggered and fell down.
"Catch that guy!!!"
The woman chased after me, but she was not enough to catch me as I ran with the resolve to die.
"I can't keep up with you at this point..."
I was running and then I fell down.
"I have to go... I have to go somewhere..."
As I continued walking, I saw a house.
The people in that house were really warm people.
They gave me warm food and a place to sleep, and took me to the police station.
"What's your name?"
"It's Ha Sung-woon."
"Really? Seongun, that's a pretty name. Where do you live?"
"..."
"I have to tell the old man so I can go home."
"..."
I couldn't say anything.
I did something big.
I didn't have the courage to go home.
-
"He hasn't said a word for days. What should I do, sir?"
"I guess she doesn't want to go home. She might have left home because she was abused."
"He's from the metropolitan area. He doesn't have any dialect. How could he possibly get here? This is seriously..."
"Just stop there. Send him to an orphanage."
"Senior! But that's a bit...!"
"This is Ha Sungwoon, the new kid at our Ketchup Orphanage. Please treat him well."
The children didn't respond. Their eyes were cold.
As the director left, the children slowly approached me, surrounding me.
A boy who looked like a leader spoke.
"Ha Sungwoon? Where are you from?"
"..."
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
"..."
Suddenly the boy pushed me.
I fell backwards.
When I shot, the kid stepped on my hand.
"Eww!"
"So you should have listened when I spoke nicely."
At those words, the children ran towards me.
He beat me and trampled on me.
It was only then that the teachers realized what was happening and ran over to pull the children away from me.
The director called me.
"Ha Sungwoon, follow me."
The two of us went into the director's office alone.
The director clicked the door and locked it.
And then he slapped me across the face.
It hurt even more because I'd been hit so many times. I could taste the pungent taste of blood in my mouth.
"If you cause trouble, I'll kill you right away. Just keep quiet."
The director glared at me for a long time and then left.
I was left alone in the director's office.
"I won't cry..."
Tears flowed down my face.
I made a promise in my heart.
This is the last time I'll cry.
I made a firm resolution to survive here and come see you again.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Ah, ah... no."
Seeing your smiling face makes me feel at ease.
My heart aches when I see your crying face.
I missed you.
Because I lived only to see you again.
I'm a writer-!
(Reader's comment) What, are there only a few Dark Gurumi left?!
yes...
I'm afraid that if I write everything, the readers' concentration will be too distracted... In the end, I'll just put Seong-un's difficult life at the orphanage in the middle... (speechless)
Oh, and I didn't even name the female protagonist.
Feel free to make it whatever you want! Or you can think of it as yourself.
I hope I can upload one more episode today! I really hope so...
