Our Past
Locked Away
Like every other day, I woke up from our sleep and tried to take in my surroundings.
I live here, in this old, used, dirty warehouse where only small rays of sunlight pass through.
Nothing has ever seemed familiar to me, even if I had already been living here for a while
I nudged Myungsoo to wake him up.
It was winter yet it was sunny outside but I can't even go out.
*flashback*
"You, go away!!"
"We don't want you"
"Stay away from us"
"You'll bring bad luck"
"You're weirdos"
"Go!"
"You two are no good"
"You useless punks"
I watched as L put on his expression-less face but I knew he was afraid and sad.
I could see him shivering in fear.
I take him by the shoulder and took him elsewhere.
I glared at all these peoples' eyes and they stood stunned for a moment and yet they still went back to yelling at us.
I tightened my grasp on him.
Ensuring him that we were in this together.
It had been 16 years ever since.
We never knew how we acquired this kind of 'supernatural abilities' but I'm sure these people don't know either.
This is what people do.
They push away the things which are unknown to them and only trust the ones they know even though they're already being used.
Our parents abandoned us because they were told that we had a curse.
A curse that was unbreakable and very very rare.
They didn't want children like us.
Myungsoo is younger by a year.
I have to take care of him.
I scoff at my thoughts.
We don't even need to steal or buy.
They're scared of us so much that we could just take the food and walk away.
He looks at me and gives me his cold, blank glare.
We never knew how to be happy.
How to smile.
We were thrown out by the orphanage by the time they knew we had this 'curse'
Nobody ever wants us.
They're afraid we might 'hurt' them.
It seemed like an ability or a 'superpower'
We had extraordinary strength.
Both of us do but when someone tried to help 'take it away'
It only got worse. We grew stronger and sometimes, we can't control it and black-out.
During that time, one of us could kill people or destroy a town but that doesn't matter.
They don't care about us anyway.
They don't care about us anyway.
They called us all kinds of things.
"Sons of the Devil"
"Prisoners of Satan"
"Children of a Demon"
I couldn't bear to look at his face while they spit out these words to us.
I could see he was hurt but hid it through his glare.
They were more afraid of L than me because they never knew what he was thinking, what he wants to do, what he's planning.
I want to help him.
Since he's still young, he can't possibly take this all on his own.
*end of flashback*
I look at the peaceful look on Myungsoo's face.
His smile. I bet it's worth millions. No one has ever seen it before, not even me.
I felt a cold shiver down my spine.
I knew someone else was here and that someone is not welcome here.
Myungsoo was still asleep.
I looked around and knew he hasn't gone far inside.
"Myungsoo. Myungsoo wake up. He's here"
I whispered quietly while I tried to wake him up.
Once I mentioned that he has come, Myungsoo jerked up and widened his eyes.
"Where is he?" He asked. His voice cold and filled with anger.
"He's waiting for us" I smirked and stood up.
