Zoetrope
ImpulseI barely remember the first time I tasted the sugar on my cake and the milk on my coffee. At the day I remembered that I was born on May 6, I decided to forget the year where my mother worked so hard to deliver me. I had forgotten that time, but they believed that I was born in the middle of the winter. It is said that it is usually the season where newborn babies doesn't have a lot of chance to survive because of the cold. Mother told me how she was so happy when he saw me crying and moving while being covered with her blood. The daylight greeted me with gladness as the fate declared that I am going to live.

The day of their marriage was colorful and loud, everyone had a smile on their faces along with the fancy clothes and shoes they had. It was remarkable, it was a special memory of them.
The child knew that he is going to live a perfect life in his perfect world. Everyone in the manor was kind to him, and everyone were healthy and happy. There were no death, tears, or problems. Their financial status was always stable and excellent. Aside from owning a candy and toy factory, they also had a wide and abundant farm at the downtown valleys of the country. The hotel at the heart of the city was named under his older brother and it was always grand and filled with guests. His days were really flawless and the life that every child would like to have. Baekhyun always had anything he wanted and liked. He had friends and people loves him a lot. After several years in elementary, he was enrolled to a high class school and learned how to polish his skills more. He was praised for being a great student with astonishing remarks and results. His name was always clapped and looked up to.
