CH1: Alone

A/N: Welcome to the 1st chapter of their story! 

Chapter 1: Alone

"Mom! Papa! I'm still here! *coughing*

please don't leave me here........I can't breathe *cough*"  you tried to wrap your favorite blanket around your small body, believing it can protect you from the raging fire in front, slowly eating the things in its path and later will ultimately reach your destination. It was getting hotter and hotter but no one was answering your calls, you wonder, did they left you? Will you die here? But today was your birthday, you were supposed to celebrate it with your mother and father.

Holding your blanket, despite the heat and trouble in breathing, you whispered a lullaby to somehow relieve yourself, ".......every night, I wished, every night I dreamed *cough*........of freedom within my reach...my fairy godmother said, my life would change, I'll grow up and move, a love like blooming flowers, I'd experience in spring..........." 

"Happy 7th Birthday, Dae!" your mom had her warmest smile, she looked so beautiful. "Dae, when you grow up, I promise you I'll bring you to your dream place, together," she affectionately brushed your messy hair, putting the ones on your face behind your ears. "So, grow up quickly, okay?" you nodded happily. I smiled back at her, I need to grow up quickly...

I need to grow up...

*crash* "Anybody here!? Hello?!"

you opened your eyes but maybe due to how long you've been exposed to the fire, you feel dizzy and lightheaded. *another crash*  "Hello??", oh........that's right, you have to live to grow up and when you do that, you can finally go to your dream place. 

You reached out to the table next to you and suddenly pushed it making the objects on it fall to the ground, creating, hopefully, enough noise to signal where you were hiding. 

Every second seemed to pass longer and longer, where did the person go? Did they also leave you? *crash* "hey kid! I'm here"  you saw someone peeking from the doorway of the room "are you okay? Wait" he disappeared only to re-appear holding a chair to push away a piece of burning wood in the door frame. He quickly went to you and carried you out. "Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked you while making the escape out of the burning house. You couldn't answer, you looked around the house...everything was burning. It looked unfamiliar yet familiar. The home you grew up in, was burning itself to the ground. No sign of any life inside. 

What will happen now?  you snuggled your head in the neck of the person carrying you. He looked at you but stayed silent. 

Happy Birthday, Dae. you told to yourself.

*Time Skip*

"Welcome, Dae! This will be your home, so feel like it's one. Don't be shy, okay?" You looked around and saw unfamiliar faces of people who look to be the same age as you. What is this place? you unconsciously gripped the edge of your favorite blanket. 

It's been a week since you were saved from the fire. You were thankful to the person who rescued you from burning within it but at the same time felt lost and clueless of the world now. You slowly walked to the farthest side of the room to sit down while holding your folded blanky. You heard the person who introduced you to your new home give instructions on what you all will do throughout the day yet throughout the day there wasn't even 1 person who walked up to you or even asked your name...

"Hi! I'm Yoon Dae! Nice to meet you, let's be friends okay?" you recited in front of your mirror. You looked back at your mother as if asking to praise your introduction. She nodded "You did well, My Dae-ie, I'm sure you'll be able to make a lot of friends" she praised while smiling warmly at you. You look back at the mirror, proudly thinking of how many friends you'll be able to make in the future.

You watched quietly as all the children played blissfully. You mustered your courage with all you can and finally stand up. Walking to the nearest children playing, you once again mustered to put on a smile you often put on back then, "Hi, I'm Yoon D--" you were stopped abruptly by the sudden push by a boy next to you. He yelled "It's the ghost with a blanket! She's the ghost in the story!" and then everyone ran away from you. 

"Stay away from the ghost!"

"She's creepy"

"Go! Don't let the ghost come close or it will strangle you with their blanket!"

You stood there, looking lost at what's happening. No one wanted to come near you. Mom, you were wrong.....no one wants to be friends with me. 

Right. You really are Alone.
