Two Daughters
A mother tortured by her memories.
A father who has forgotten his story.
A broken red thread of faith that connects them.
In a world where reapers can be saviors. How will they mend the red string that has been broken?
Is it their des...
Jong-gil and Ryeon walked along the pathway together after completing a task.
"Can I ask you a question? There's something I'm curious about. Why don't you sleep, sir?", Ryeon asked
Jong-gil smiled at this question evoking a certain interest in Ryeon.
"What are you smiling?", Ryeon asked
"You've been working under me for about 200 years now, and that's the first question you want to ask me? You remind me of Sunflower.", He retorted turning to look at her with a small smile.
"The truth is I can't sleep. I'm afraid to fall asleep. When I sleep, that horrible moment keeps repeating itself. ", He said as his mind raced back to the night he slaughtered the men who spoke ill of his family.
"Sadness and rage", His mind went back to his eldest daughter. The look of fear after he saw what her father had become that night using his youngest as the reason behind his actions........was she the reason?
"Distrust and despair. and lethargy.", he continued...his tone coated in raw emotion as each syllable escaped his lips.
"The person looks exactly like me but that's not me. So I hate seeing that nightmare every time I fall asleep. I'm afraid to sleep.", he concluded before turning to face her.
He began to drift into his dream land until he came faced to face with a memory of his past.
He saw flashes of the person that looked like him taking the lives of two male with just a flick of his wrist and a stab to the abdomen.
He saw as the man begged his look alike to spare his life yet his doppelgänger showed no remorse or pity.
Simply stating it was too late before delivering and deadly strike finally ridding the world of yet another soul who dare lift their tongue against his family.
"I'll take down anyone who dares to utter such insults, no matter how many bastards there are.", h said before sheathing his sword and turned to leave.
A few steps forward and he came face to face with someone he never would expect to be in his nightmare.
Jong-gil gasped awake shocked by his new discovery as his thought ran a mile a minute, unshed tears in his eyes.
