FAMILY
Haunting
“She went back to her old path. It is now stage 3.” Dongwoo said to his friends. They were watching you just staring into blank space. It’s been 3 days you weren’t saying anything, you were not yourself.
Whenever they will make you eat, you won’t even move your muscle to pick up the spoon. Though after some time, they would found you just swallowing one spoon of rice then that’s it.
In past times like this, Dongwoo would give you a paper and a pen and you would instantly draw something, something that you’re always thinking of, something that’s bothering you.
“Let us see if this still works.” Dongwoo put the paper and pen on the table in front of you.
You ignored it at first but after a few minutes, you started drawing.
Last time you drew was a picture of your dad inside his car on the bottom of a river. It was a shock for them when they saw it because it wasn’t how your dad died instead it is how your grandfather died.
Remembering some true happenings but the person is different, it always bothers them.
The paper was half full but they still can’t figure out what was it. Tears are falling from your eyes but your face remained expressionless.
This is why Sunggyu was hiding you, he knows that you’re not stable, you’re mentally challenged. You were home schooled ever since you were born. Crowds isn’t your thing, except if you’re with someone special that will make you notice him more than the people walking pass you.
Never did your family felt ashamed of having someone like you, that’s not their reason for hiding you.
Your dad created the company with the help of his closest friend. Thought everything will go well until that friend backstabbed him. He was claiming the company is only his. The company was close to bankruptcy but good thing it went well in court and everything was transferred to your father’s name.
But of course, everything didn’t stop there. You were just one year old when your grandfather died, declaring it was suicide even though it really wasn’t. And who’s the culprit? None other than your father’s friend.
The report was he drove his way purposely to the river to commit suicide but that’s not the truth.
Till then, your family was always protected.
Everybody already knows your brother Sunggyu, your father would always bring him in the company making him familiarize himself because he’ll be inheriting it. The company became his playground after school.
As for you, they kept you only at home. They knew your mother was pregnant with you but they said that she had a miscarriage when in fact, you were delivered healthily.
It wasn’t until you’re 10 that they discovered something strange was happening to you.
The doctor’s best explanation from it is maybe your mom was stressed and scared when you were still in her womb, making the baby inside qui
