Beautiful Scars

*Danger*

This story was uploaded in AO3 last year. Just including it here. Enjoy!

What if mun yeong went back to Seoul when she found out what her mother did to his mother.

"I'm not going anywhere. I just need a time alone to think." Mun Yeong said to Gang Tae as he followed her outside the OK Psychiatric Hospital

She then drove home while crying. When she arrived at the cursed castle, she immediately went to the basement.

She looked for that butterfly broach in the drawer but found nothing. Then the frame on the side caught her attention. She uncovered their family portrait that was wrapped in a white cloth. She looked at their picture while anger was brewing inside her. She looked at her mother - who was wearing that butterfly in that picture.

Tears started to fall in her cheeks. She couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that her mother was the reason why Gang Tae had a miserable life. Why he had to give up many things just to take care of his brother. His brother who saw how her mother murdered their mother. She just couldn't believe it. How cruel life is this -- she thought.

She clenched her fists and started to punch the picture frame while shouting "why??!!! why did you do that??!!! what will happen to us now? They're now my family!!"  She then started to throw all of the things she could see and hold. One moment, she found herself crying on the floor while holding her chest.

Kang Tae arrived at the castle after he talked to Sang Tae. He quickly checked MY's bedroom- She's not there. Then he remembered the basement which she told them not to enter in that place no matter what happened.

Gang Tae walked downstairs and heard Mun Yeong crying. He then opened the door- seeing Mun Yeong like this make his heart shattered into tiny pieces. He sighed and walked towards her. He saw her hand bleeding. He roamed his eyes- random broken things were scattered on the floor and he also noticed a crack on the picture frame. He took a deep breath and he kneeled infront, got his handkerchief and wrapped it on her hand.

Mun Yeong looked at him- her eyes were red and swollen. "It was my mom? Tell me, please... I'm mistaken. Right? That can't be true." she whispered hoping that it was not true but the look on Gang Tae's face said it all.

"Since when did you know?" she asked while her tears slowly fell on her cheeks

"I only found it out recently." he answered

She then brokedown again. Infront of him. Gang Tae didn't know what to do. Knowing MY, it wouldn't be that easy to explain to her that it was never her fault.

"Ko Mun yeong, listen carefully. You're not like your mom. No matter what happens, I won't leave you.  To me, you're just Ko Munyeong, the girl that I like ever since when I was a boy." he tried to explain

But her only reply was "Hypocrite." then left.

"Ko Munyeong, let me in." GT said Infront of her bedroom. No answer. He knocked again. Still no respond. He then tried to open the door - it was not locked at all.

She's not there. He called Sang In to ask if he's with her- he said he had no idea where she was. Then he called Juri to asked if she's in the hospital. None.

GT felt a pang in his heart. He searched for her clothes in the drawer and cabinet  and found nothing. He closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "So this is what she felt everytime I was running away from her." he thought.

Mun Yeong is now back in her hotel room in Seoul. She's now beginning to think if this is the right decision. She sighed. She texted Sang In to tell that she's fine and they don't need to worry about her.
