Another day, another horrible day. You came home again really late, it was already dark as you walked through the Empty streets in Seoul. You spend the whole day in school, don't want to go home to your Alcohol sick Mother. You had a perfect life a few years ago. Your Father, your Mother and you were so happy, had a nice small house in Seoul. But after your Mother drunk alcohol more and more until she drinks every day and refused any help, your Father left her. He wanted to keep you with him but your Mother don't wanted it, she is the mother, you belong to her. Now you are here, in a small 2 room appartment, it was small, cheap and the sheer horror. You have to sleep on the floor only with a blanket. You and your Mother don't have money. The only Money your Mother had was for more Alcohol. She had so much debts. It's your luck that you can still stay in the appartment.
You are walking through the darkness, your thoughts are a mess, you have a horrible life, but that was not the only thing that happens to you. You have a stalker.. you feel it, he is watching you, following you through the streets. You walked faster and faster, but you can't escape. Is this real? Do you have a stalker or is it just Paranoia. You don't know what is real, because nothing feels real anymore. You turned around, seeing a dark shadow in the end of the street, as he saw that you turned around he disappeared. You slapped your face and started to run as fast as you can. You don't know since when, but someone is following you. You were sure about this. You runned upstairs, finally seeing your appartment. Only a few steps..
You opened the door and saw your Mother sitting on the floor in front of the TV with a Bottle of Alcohol. She looked at you with her irradiated look and asked ,,Y/n?? Where have you been the whole day, why do you look so scared?" ,,I was at school... I.. I just saw something..." you stuttered. You can't tell her that you have a Stalker, she would never believe you and would laugh. She don't care about you so don't try it. You went to the Bathroom, washed your face with the cold water, looking into the broken mirror makes you feel so empty. For what reason are you living? What is your wish? What do you want to do with your life. You don't know, everything in your mind was blurry, you don't feel anything. You went to sleep, trying to dream from a better life. But you can't sleep, always the nightmares. He.. your stalker is appearing in your dream, every night...
Days past by, nothing changes. He is watching you, everyday, every step you take. But as you saw him right next to your house, the shadow, following you until home, you are going crazy. You were inside with your Mom, she was already sleeping, the smell of alcohol filled the dark room, the only light came from a lantern outside. The soft rain splashes on the roof. You see the silhouette on your Window. You bite your lips and closed your eyes and tried to calm yourself down ,,You are not here.. you don't exist..." you can't do this anymore, the fear is burning through your whole body. He followed you until home now, What will happen next? He knows where you live. You opened your eyes minutes later, seeing nothing on the window. Every small noise is making you nervous.
What should you do? You can't wake up your Mother, she don't care. With teary puffy eyes you fell asleep on the floor. The dream you had this night, felt more intense than any other dream you had before. It felt so real.. you woke up in the morning with red eyes, tears on your cheeks. You were late for school so you don't have time for a shower, you grabbed your back and went to school. Everyone asked if you are okay because of your swollen eye bags. The Teacher cared about you, but that's only a lie. They just ask for their self peace. You wanted to sleep at school, somewhere. where no one can find you, but as you also felt like someone was watching... that was enough. You began to scream, until someone can hear you, but no one came to help you.
You walked out of the school with an exhausted face, you looked around, seeing no one was too obviously. You screamed with tears in your eyes ,,WHO ARE YOU?? WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME... PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE" you were so close to breakdown. You breathed heavily and decided to run away as you saw a silhouette... again.. only 30 meters away from you near a lantern. Your eyes widened, you throw your bag on the ground and runned away. No looking back, just running and running... as you saw an old lady on the street you screamed ,,RUN, HE IS COMING, HE IS FOLLOWING ME" and runned further and further.
Old Lady POV
She looked around, but no one followed Y/n, nothing. She looked after Y/n and said ,,Mh, poor little girl, it's a shame that kids has alot of school work to do until they go crazy.." She stayed at the street for a few minutes until she went back to her house. No one followed Y/n.
Paranoia.
You were running and running until you were almost home, you saw your house, only a few meters.. ,,WAIT" someone yelled and grabbed your arm. You fell on the ground. You closed your eyes and screamed ,,NOO, please.. let me live..." A male boy said ,,Shhss, calm down, i don't want to hurt you..." he wanted to help you up as you opened your eyes. Your eyes widened as you looked in his smiling face ,,YOU... you are the... you are my Stalker?? You were real???" you gulped, angst runned through your veins, your heart was beating like crazy. He smiled ,,Don't be scared.. i don't wanna hurt you.. I am Jeongin. Yang Jeongin and yeah... i am your stalker.. it sounds weirder than it is... let me explain okay? But first get up, before you catch a cold."
You slowly stood up, noth knowing what will he tell you. He cleared his throat and said ,,I said i am Jeongin... and you are Y/n right? Yang Y/n.." ,,Why do you know my name?" you asked scared. He smiled ,,I am your Brother" ,,WHAT?!" you screamed. He tried to explain it ,,Our Mother gave me to Adoption, she was really young and thought she can't take care of a baby. Our Dad picked me up after they had the divorce. Now i live with our Dad and he said i should take a look if you are okay.. he want you to live with us" ,,I THOUGHT YOU WERE A STALKER... A KILLER?!!!" you screamed. He kneeled down and said ,,I am so sorry please forgive me, i really thought.. i just wanted to find a moment where i can talk to you but i was shy..." he apologized multiple times.
You looked at him ,,I forgive you.. but.. why isn't Dad not coming on his own?" ,,He was cowardly. He thought it's a better idea if i can talk to you, i mean i am only a few years older. How is Mom?" he asked. You shaken your head ,,She is okay.. i mean.. she is a wreck...." ,,You should come to us.. life at our House, it would be nice to have my little sister with me, i bet we can be really good friends! And for Mom, we will bring her into Therapy, she has no other chance after you leave her. She can only pay the rent because she get money for you. But when you are not at her's appartment anymore she can't live there anymore. So trust me, we can do it." You smiled and agreed. You followed him, you two went to your Mothers appartment and told her that you leave now. It was a hard conversation but it's a better option for everyone.
You lived with Jeongin and your Dad now in his House, you got an own room, they both tried their best to make you feel better. You also said that you want to go to Therapy, to find your smile. You had Therapy once a week and you slowly feeling better and better. Your Mother is in a Reha, makes Therapy and alcohol withdrawal. She will be fine one day, and maybe.. you four can be a Family again....
