Third POV

He was drowning, he saw her drowning. Her fading away, as he became more scared and fragile. 'Mom'....... 'mom'.......... 'MOM!' 

Yeonwoo woke up heavy breathing as he felt as if he couldn't move a single muscle. He felt trapped once again. A repetition that has gone on and on for years now. Getting even more tired everyday. Questioning everything..... yet also not having the strength to even think anymore. He suddenly felt released and he got up sighing. No matter how many times this has accrued he still gets scared, as if he forgot every other day this happened. 

He got up and walked out of his room to the living the room. To see his drunk aunt laying on the sofa, while one of her legs were swinging off the edge. He sighed, sometimes he thinks she's an alcohol addict but in reality she doesn't drink as much as it seems. She's just a good drinker and never really gets drunk. Yeonwoo's suprised she's still sleeping, since he thought you could've heard his scream from there.

He sat on the floor and turned on the tv. His aunt's show was on. He played close attention since his aunt never talks about her job. He knew what it was but never talked about the new cases. He saw the pictures of the victim's body, the objects they used, everything on the crime scene was showed. His aunt was a detective and focused on missing cases. She had her own show that she hosted on new cases of monos.... like him and his mom.

Although his aunt never spoke of her search for his mother, he knew it all. And before he even realized his aunt was now awake.

"What do you think your doing watching this?" Aunt Yi Rang said as he grabbed the remote and turned off the tv. Yeonwoo didn't answer and just stared back at his aunt." You really shouldn't be worrying about these things." His Aunt said as she got up to make some tea. As she came back Yeonwoo caught sight of some papers.

"School Transfer Request..... am I moving schools again?" Yeonwoo said and his aunt just hm'd in response. 

"And to a all boy school,.... why not co-ed?" -Yeonwoo 

"What did you expect to find a girlfriend at school or something?" - Aunt Yi Rang 

They had this type of relationship. His aunt was rather young, so they play around with each other most of the time making 'complaints' to each other. They were close but at the same time distant. They played around with each other and got along well. But other times they easily get in an awkward situation because neither are the best at communicating.

Yeonwoo remembers what had occurred at his old school that got him kicked out, he found it pretty dumb, really.

^Flashback a few moths back^

Whispers were heard all around the hallway, this was nothing new to someone who was constantly seen as different. The one differed from the others, was Yeonwoo just because they had found out he was a mono. The whispers going on for a week since then. He honestly didn't expect any different from them. He wasn't dumb nor oblivious, he knew this sorta thing was gonna happen. You shouldn't give credit to someone who didn't do it. Exactly like that you shouldn't expect much from others.
