35 | breaking the spell

"Almost died? What's he saying?" his mother asked and Jeongguk looked over his shoulder at his father who sighed.

Now he knew there was no turning back and he had to reveal it to his mother. He remembered some glimpses of the night around thirteen years back.

"I mean, I don't remember clearly all the stuff, just some lightings and trees. The flashes scared the shit out of me,"

"This painting is from that night dad, the night you took me with you to the teng forest for the first time," Jeongguk said remembering that night.

"Wait, you took him to the forest? When?" Jeongguk's mother asked not knowing anything about this and Jonhan sighed, "I had to, you were at your mother's house and I couldn't leave him in the house alone, he was only four, Minah."

"You never told me about this, Jonhan," she complained getting closer to her son and hugged him, "If anything happened that night, I would have never forgiven you."

"Mom, I am all fine. That's in the past, we don't worry about that," Jeongguk laughed at how silly his mom was behaving but no, she just got scared at the thought only, she loved no one else more than Jeon Jeongguk.

"Hey, I would have never let anything happen to him and that night it was just a quick inspection of the forest like every week," he said and smiled at his wife and son hugging.

"I have got such a lovely family," Jonhan mumbled walking to them and joined the hug.

"Okay guys, so the yellow eyes. According to my drawing, I drew you and me here―" Jeongguk pointed at the little cute figures in the page with odd colours and then moved his finger at the man with yellow eyes behind a tree,

"That's him."

"I can't remember seeing him there, son," Jonhan said and tried hard to remember those pair of yellow eyes but nah, nothing rings a bell.

"Okay but dad, why am I remembering it now and that too just fragments of it? Just the flashes and trees, that's it." the blond asked looking over his shoulder at the older man who smiled.

"It's the spell. It broke when you saw the painting. I had that after I saw how you were terrified of the flashes that night. You were drawing just after we came back and we all know how you drew whenever you were sad or scared—" his dad said and Jeongguk nodded, "You were a child, Jeongguk and I didn't want you to remember that night anymore."

"But I am still scared of them,"

"Cause son, spells can make you forget your memories but can't make you forget your feelings," he smiled and ruffled the younger's hair while his mother stared at them with arms folded over her chest.

"Jonhan, you promise to never hide things from me, yeah?" she said and had a poker face on before glancing at her son, "You too, Jeon Jeongguk."

"Yes, ma'am."

"So in conclusion, he was there that night but I still can't remember him in the forest,"

"Probably it's just me who saw him? Maybe he was hiding that time?"

"Jeongguk, go sleep. I will take care of this okay, I don't want you to bother about this. And you do have classes too in the morning, so go and rest," Jonhan said patting the other's shoulder and smiled. Another smile was thrown at him in response and nodded, "I am super tired yes so I will, and dad please do something about Tae."

"Don't worry, I will do something, I promise."

The classroom was filled with students which was surprising as after the incident happened last night which is Moreon escaping, they students should have been taken back home but no, they all knew the School of Belfort was the safest place to keep their kids in.
