Song. Hae. Byul.

Hae as in sea. Byul as in star.

Or at least, that’s what was written in scraggly writing on her left hand 18 years ago.

 

 Plopped in the middle of a deserted alleyway, an infant peered at a woman’s face curiously.

“Haebyul-ah,” a woman sobbed with a sense of urgency in her voice, “I’ll be back, I promise. I’m going to go find daddy and I’ll be back. Stay here and be quiet, alright?”

on her thumb quietly, Haebyul moved her head in what could be an ambiguous interpretation of a nod.

The woman hesitated, tears endlessly flowing down her flushed cheeks. She held the petite infant’s tiny hand to the side of her face and shut her eyes. What if…what if she can’t come back? No. She must.

 She will.

Opening her eyes, she reached into her bag and pulled out a black sharpie.

Song. Hae. Byul. She sniffed as she wrote as fast as she could.

It would have to do…in case…

The woman held the infant close, and pulled her into a motherly embrace before finally standing up. She trembled and took a deep breath as she began walking, then running, out towards danger.

A day passed…then two…

 

She never came back.

 

 

The shrieking infant’s cries dimmed down to whines, and finally, to whimpers. Hungry, cold, and alone, the infant grew dizzy.

She shut her tired eyes for a brief moment, and when she opened them again, there stood a pair of suede business shoes.

 

That’s where our story starts.

 

AUTHOR’s NOTES:

·         MITE be rated, not sure yet

·         I’m writing this on somewhat of a whim. Well, I have the entire basic plotline and ending thought out but the details are still very blurry.

·         This is going to be a long story (I think)

·         My first (complete) fanfic, I hope. Be easy on me? :D

·         Open to suggestions, comments, and critiques!!

·         PLEASE comment, heh, my inspiration fuels off of comments.

 

*OH, OH, interesting fact: Yes, I AM basing this story somewhat on Exo’s “Baby Don’t Cry”. That was the spark of inspiration that got me to developing this twisted up complicated storyline :D Go do a bit of research on the song and maybe you’ll be able to guess what will happen later on (but it won’t be the ending so it’s still mysterious :D)
