The days of being a slave to your adoptive parents were quite a blur. Chores, chores, chores, beating, chores, and some more chores. You thought you’d live here forever until one night a flash of red and blue hit the scene.
Characters
Sung-hoon is a mafia, known, but not known for his appearance. He works with the police and only labeled a mafia because he isn’t an officer himself. He has a tough exterior, sharp eyes, dark features. But he is gentle and knows how to talk to help. Knows the right words always. And cares. Of course it doesn’t mean he doesn’t use his switchblade on a regular basis. He is 23.
Intro
A ‘normal’ Tuesday was a Tuesday filled with work, beating, sweating, scolding. Repeat. As a child you dreamed, drew, spaced out, even sung about being adopted into a loving family with an older brother who loved you, a dog, and a father and mother who cherished you.
Did you get it? No. Quite the opposite, actually. You got two scowling old people who threw apples at you when you stepped on their shoe laces. Two older ‘parental’ figures who had burned your finger tips because you had brought stray a dog inside the house. Mr. Lawson, and Mrs. Lawson were their names. You didn’t know their firsts names. Every time they’d talk, you’d envision their faces growing green with big noses and warts and moles - like witches. Younger you would giggle, then get a stinging from a belt. Now you knew better than to laugh. And you knew better that they were using you for money.
One night they threw trash at you and told you to take it out. You were afraid of it from a bad incident where you got abused when you came back in for not being responsible. As you gazed at your only chance to be outside, there was a black car parked. You stared at it and felt like it was staring at you. Then Mrs. Lawson’s voice yelled.
“Get back in here, scum!”
Hitting your bed was the most refreshing part of the day. The bed was the only thing that comforted you. Well, other than your wild imagination. But you didn’t tell anyone you still imagined your guardians as witches. The wind was loud tonight, leading to a rain storm you never told anyone you were afraid of. Not even at the orphanage. As you turn over, a lightning strike hit, lighting up a frame of a person sitting on your window. But before you could react - scream, get out of bed, gasp, kick your legs, or even imagine you were in a silly movie - his hand was over your mouth.
Why was his voice so soothing? Why was his hold firm but so gentle? He slowly helped you sit up and then he already had you out the window. You weren’t sure how you were on your feet, fine, from a two story window. Looking over, police lights flashed. Red, blue.
“Hey, kid. I’m officer Garden. We’re here to help, alright?”
A older officer told you, placing a hand on your shoulder. Then you felt another hand on your other shoulder - the guy who was at your window. He was dressed unlike the police, black, almost death look with a switchblade on his hip.
“We know about your situation and we can’t have you in this type of house hold.”
The police said. In a matter of minutes, which felt like seconds, you were in a car while watching the Lawsons being arrested. The sound of yelling was drowned out by one simple voice.
“Hey, it’s going to be okay. Nobody’s here to hurt you anymore, okay?”
He said, finally turning away and hitting the ignition. Sunghoon planned on taking care of you and he had been hunting down the ‘Lawsons situation’ for a while now.
