Author POV

“OMMA!” Jaejoong yelled unable to react watching her getting shot to her chest.

Jaejoong had fallen on the ground when his mother was shot to her heart. He saw her spit out blood, her tears gradually mixed with the blood. Smiling at Jaejoong, she fell to the ground. Pushing himself off the ground he ran to her, but was pushed flat on the floor. It hurt him, his knees were completely scraped thanks to the gravel in the playground. One hand on her bleeding chest and the other reaching to Jaejoong. The gun shot again but a tearing Jaejoong scooted to his mother, holding her bleeding fingers.

“H-Heyri, s-sa-ve h-her” She looked past him at the said girl who was shot on her right shoulder.

His eyes shot opened. Sweat flowed from his forehead. He had had the same nightmare for the past couple of days, dreaming about his mother's death. Junsu, Jaejoong's cousin, heard him yell in his sleep.

“Hyung, it’s happening again isn’t it?”

“Hyung, isn’t it high time you move on?”

“Never.”

Kim Jaejoong’s mother was murdered three days after Jaejoong turned 19 years old in the neighborhood playground. She was shot in the heart and died within 5 minutes of being shot. Along with his mother, another girl was shot to the shoulder. A 10-year-old girl named Jung Heyri, the youngest of the Jung family. She had an older brother, Jung Yunho who is Jaejoong’s best friend. Yunho’s family is one of the richest, most influential families in Asia, owning schools, universities and expanding into the IT Industry with several software companies. Jaejoong’s father was Yunho’s father’s secretary.

Yunho had lived most of his life in Jaejoong’s home, rather than his own. Yunho’s father was forced to marry his mother in order to get his inherit
