Example no. 08: The Curse One

Taehyung was a "cursed" person for having blue eyes. Since his parents were both Korean and none of them had mixed genes or something, they couldn't have a child who got blue eyes like Taehyung.

Because they lived in a small town where the myth was mostly believed, the rumor about Taehyung being cursed immediately spread all over the town.

His parents got blamed when illness or tragedy happened in their town. Even though those cases have an explanation. But people won't buy that explanation.

They can't live in that town because his parents can't afford to live in the city, and they don't know someone there.

“Eomma, I'm home.” A 23-year-old boy, Taehyung, happily arrived at his parent's house after going to his school.

“I'm glad you're here, come on, let's have dinner.” Taehee smiled at her son.

“Oka-”

“Witch Taehee! Show us your son!”

Before Taehyung could finish his sentence, they heard someone's yells outside their house.

“Just wait here, Taehyung.” Taehee patted Taehyung's shoulder to assure him that she will be fine.

She left her house to confront the person who just yelled. She was shocked to see people holding bamboo sticks lit up with a fire on top.

“What all of you are doing here?” Taehee asked.

“Your cursed son! Show him to us!” Brie told her who hated her so much.

“Why would I do that? For all of you to kill him?!” Taehee grumbled.

“Why not? He's the reason our child died! And now he murdered someone's daughter!” Brie retorted.

“That's not true! He didn't do anything, stop blaming him!” Taehee shot back.

“He's the only one capable of doing that! He's cursed! Show him to us, or we will burn your house!” Dixon grumbled.

Taehee swallowed hard while stepping backward after they pulled out their knives.

“Kill that bastard!”

They started to set the house on fire and Taehee ran inside the house.

“Taehyung, run now!” Taehee told her son, who was standing there.

“Why, Eomma?” Taehyung was confused about what was happening.

His eyes widened when he saw fire on the wall and people barged inside the house.

“Just run!” Taehee shouted and pushed Taehyung to the backdoor after getting stabbed in her back.

Taehyung ran away, trembling, tears kept falling from his eyes, and hearing people chasing him. He was in the middle of the woods, not knowing where to go.

He was nervous and scared of what might happen to him. Not only that, but he still can hear them far from him. Once he saw the road, he goes there and waved his arms after seeing a car coming.

The car stopped beside him and he immediately tapped its window.

“Suh-sir, please help me, I'm begging you. They were going to kill me.” Taehyung pleaded with the person in the car.

He looks so young and handsome, but somewhat suspicious. However, Taehyung didn't care about that yet, he wanted to escape.

“P-please, sir?!”

Taehyung's nervousness rose when he looked behind him, seeing the people coming near him.

“Get in.” The person said, opening the door of the car inside.

Taehyung didn't hesitate to get inside the car and luckily, that person drove away from them. It seemed to be he was lucky that saved him, or maybe not?
