flower of evil (FF)

Hyunso

'She left me...did she not love me enough to hold on me or had I not loved her enough to make her stay with me..', Hyunso thinks, standing still as Jiwon left him. His World seems collapsing around him and he can't do anything about it.

'That's right...I couldn't have loved someone... I wasn't meant to have all this in the first place..' , He starts walking, not knowing where.

"Hyunso"

He hears someone calling him. He turns to the voice and his heart stops beating on seeing who it is. His father standing before him in black clothes.
For a while, he had forgotten how his body froze on seeing him.

"His father killed someone, he might too.. ", he remembers people talking about him. His sister crying. The village people performing an exorcism on him. Him running away. The car accident. He goes through everything one by one in his mind.

Hyunso sees himself walking with his father in a park they are looking at a couple sitting before them, their son is playing with sand... "Dad I drew our family on the sand", the kid says to his father. "Well done my son, now let's go home", his father says picking him up and they leave.

"Love... Family.. Happiness...aren't for people like us, they have to be protected and therefore belong to the prey. And we...we are meant to be predator's Hyunso, don't forget that", Hyunso's father says stepping on the kids drawing.

Hyunso keeps walking, not consious of it and before he knows he is standing before his house...

"Morning star", he reads on the door plate, he touches it lightly with his fingers.

"You must have played very well to fool everyone", he says to himself. His gaze fixed on it, 

"Fine,.... I'll do the same"

He goes inside his workshop and takes out the designs, he searches everything, he goes through all his designs, drawers, tools, files in his computer, everything but finds no clue other than the design of the cuff that was in the picture that Moojin showed him..he goes into the basement and starts crafting that cuff  in order to see if he remembers anything.

After making it again and again, he gets to know nothing other than that he has made it before...

He sits down on the floor resting his head against the wall and closes his eyes...he sighs...

"You won't find what you are looking for"

He opens his eyes and sees himself standing before him. He is seeing his own reflection, the part of him that he has lost,

"What did you do?" Hyunso asks it,

"You won't find anything...Because I hide well ...both...the truth and myself", it says.

"Wh...", Hyunso is cut off by the sound of the door opening upstairs in the workshop. He looks at where his reflection was and it isn't there anymore.

He hears someone coming...he grabs his hammer and pretends working.

He sees Moojin coming down.

"What are you doing down here?",Moojin asks.

"Did you make all these?"

"Yes", Hyunso replies.

"They look familiar"

Hyunso shuts his eyes.

"Wait, they look like the ones the dead body in the suitcase was wearing"

Hyunso opens his eyes. He puts the hammer down.

"Do you remember something?"

"No, I don't. But I can tell that I have crafted this design before''

"But why are you doing this in the basement?"

He looks away and swallows, he remembers the dream where he saw himself in the basement, he doubted if it had something to do with that.

"Aah! You are being careful around Jiwon"

Hyunso's gaze is fixed on the floor.

"Why don't you tell her, may be she can help"

If he tells her would she believe him, he didn't know that.

"No, not now", he replies.

"But she may know about the case or worst she may have this case", Moojin says.

"I need to find out myself, first"

"How will you? You don't even know what the world looked like for the past years"

'Nor do I know what I was like in that time', he thought.

"Yes, but you do", hyunso replies looking at Moojin.

"Don't drag me into this", Moojin says

"I didn't drag you. You did",

"But.."

"How about having an another exclusive news?", hyunso says.

"I don't need that, I'm already famous", Moojin replies.

"You are now, but people forget, no matter how big the news was, after another one pops out, the older one fades away. Maybe this one is even bigger"

Hyunso gets closer to Moojin,

"Don't you want this?", He asks.

Moojin breaks the eye contact, he places his left hand on his waist.

"Let's be clear here, I'm the one helping you"

Hyunso grins, he picks up the lock and keys from the table.

"Let's leave here first"
