The world felt very large and Sunghoon felt very small. Small, insignificant and afraid but through all of that he felt warm. There was something comforting pushing through his fear.

"Hey there penguin" a woman coos. She bends down to look Sunghoon in the eye. That's what it was, it was her, the peace and comfort in this big scary world.

"We're going to have a good day today hmm?" she questions as she smiles at him. While she smiled, Sunghoon frowned. Her smile was broken, forced. There were fresh bruises on her face, hand prints around her neck and yet she smiled.

"Oh, hmm look" she grabs his hand placing it on her swollen belly.

"Looks like the baby is excited to see you," she says. Sunghooon looks from his moms face down to her belly.

"Hello..." he whispers to her, mimicking his mothers broken smile. He couldn't be happy, not really. Something about this scene was wrong, out of place.

From outside the door they both can hear heavy footsteps followed by the jingling of keys.

"He's home. Hurry up to your room now. Go" his mothers voice is firm as she pushes him towards the stairs but something is still wrong. This didn't happen like this. Something is-

"WHERE ARE YOU! BONGCHA WHERE ARE YOU?!" a man, no an animal growls as he bursts through the door. Sunghoon's eyes widen in fear. He turns to his mother ready to tell her to run to save the baby but he looks and she no longer has a bump and her clothes are different. The white gown was replaced by a yellow sundress with pink flowers. Pink flowers that becomes stained with blood as the monster rips at her throat with his claws. Sunghoon can feel his mouth open to scream, can feel the rush of tears flow down his face but he can't make out a sound over the ringing in his ears.

"NOOOOOO NOOOO PLEASE MOM NOOOOO!" Sunoo and Jake bolt up at the sound of Sunghoon's voice.

"Sunghoon?" Sunoo grumbles, his voice coming out as a whisper as he begins to throw the blanket off his legs. Jake is right beside him fighting the blanket off his sleep filled body to get out of the bed.

"NOOOOOOO NOOOOO NOOOO NOOOOO!"

"SUNGHOON!" Sunoo shouts, his voice still hoarse with sleep. He rubs at his eyes furiously as he approaches the office door. He jingles the handle but it doesn't budge, locked.

"Sunghoon! Open the door please! Hoon! Open the door!" Sunoo shouts as he bangs on the door. On the other side of the door Sunoo can hear something clatter loudly followed by the sound of glass breaking.

"Jake! Jake!" Sunoo shouts frantically for Jake who stumbles down the hallway.

"I can't- It's locked! Sunghoon he! W-we gotta get in there!" Sunoo can't form a proper sentence, his brain still in a frenzy. Jake gently pushes him out the way before rushing the door with his shoulder. It makes contact but doesn't budge so Jake does it again and again trying to force the door open but to no avail. The solid wood refuses to be knocked out of place from the frame.
