the lost boy

His new life pt. 2

2 years later, a few weeks before Hyunjin's 17th birthday

N O B O D Y

Everything was fine the previous year until Hyunjin started exhibiting 'weird' behavior last year. Well, others would say it's disgusting if they don't even find it strange. Hyunjin has discovered something for himself that he can use to catch up on his childhood, but also to deal with all the stress and so on. What he has is called Little Space. Hyunjin has always been able to hide it until now, even if he needed someone to take care of him, feed him and so on. Because Hyunjin's little age is between a few months and two years. In most cases he is around two years old, but it can also happen that he falls into the so-called baby space and that is rather bad in his environment.

It was a day like any other except that Hyunjin wasn't feeling well, Beomgyu told his parents and they left the boy at home under the supervision of older brother Soobin. Being unwell meant he wasn't in control of his headspace and so it happened that he slipped into his babyspace. For a while everything was fine, he lay peacefully in his bed and stared at the ceiling, this went on until an accident happened to him and he started crying as it made Jinnie feel very uncomfortable. Soobin, hearing the boys cry, ran straight into his room and saw the boy crying and in his wet pants. Disgusted by that alone, he went up to the boy and talked to him, but he didn't get an answer, instead he was simply stared at with wide eyes. So, Soobin left the room and left Jinnie the way he was. Because of the crying and the fact that Jinnie is sick, he fell asleep some time later after Soobin left his room.

a few hours later

The next time he woke up, he was no longer in his headspace. He sat up and found his packed bag, a bag and a note lying on it. He climbed out of bed and walked towards the bag, he took the note and again tears ran down his cheeks. The note said:

Dear Hyunjin,

here are your packed things.
Make sure you're gone before Beomgyu gets home!!
I don't want my family to talk or interact with something as obnoxious as you.
So get outta here, do you understand me?

Choi Soobin

Hyunjin did what Soobin asked of him, he showered, changed, took the old clothes and packed it in the bag. With the two things and his phone, he went down the hall, put on his shoes and after handing in the keys he left the house and ran as far away from Beomgyu as he could. He found himself at the train station for some time and when he saw the train going to Seoul, he quickly ran inside and got a seat. He wiped the tears from his face and sank into his thoughts. After an eternity, he fell asleep leaning against the window, he's still sick. He slept the whole trip until the controller woke him up because the train had arrived at his end location and wasn't going any further. "Wake up boy.. the train isn't going any further.. we've arrived at its terminus.." he whispered and shook Hyunjin a bit. Tired and exhausted, he opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. "W-where are we?" He asked, the man looking at the boy confused on one side but worried on the other. "We are in Seoul.." he said and smiled slightly at Hyunjin.

Hyunjin apologized to the man a few times and then got off the train with his bags. He took a deep breath and then marched off to find downtown Seoul. He walked around for a while until eventually he found himself in a park, he sat down on one of the benches and started crying again. He was extremely exhausted, tired, he was cold because he was wearing nothing but his hoodie which wasn't really warm. The longer he sat there, the colder he got. "I-I don't want to m-move m-m-m-more...I just want to sleep..." he cried while shaking even more. He could hardly keep his eyes open, he was so tired, but when someone put something on or over his shoulders, he opened his heavy eyelids and looked into the eyes of a young man. "I think you could use these better than me right now..." he whispered and walked away. Hyunjin started crying again, put on the jacket properly, took the bags and sat down behind a tree. And so he fell asleep, still trembling slightly, under a large tree in the cold.

The next morning when he woke up he felt even more miserable than the day before. He closed his eyes again and lay there, he couldn't sleep, but he still kept his eyes closed. He listened to the noise around him until something full of pot hit him in the face. As a result, he was suddenly wide awake, he sat up and saw a football in front of him, with tears already running, he looked around to see who the ball belonged to. When he saw nobody, he really started to cry bitterly. First his parents threw him out two years ago, then the eldest son of the Chois throw him out, then he has to sleep in the park is also even sicker than already and then someone shoot him a ball in the face with full force, where he already feels like shit anyway.

After fifteen minutes a whole herd of boys came running. They all talked back and forth at him, which became too much for Hyunjin at that moment and he passed out. The boys fell silent immediately and one of them reacted quickly to call an ambulance. Another boy tried to wake Hyunjin up and was shocked to find that he had a high fever. After he regained consciousness, the ambulance was already there to take him away...

And so begins his new life.

Here are the first characters, which are mostly hyunjin, as Beomgyu and Soobin only played a brief role in the whole thing.

main character:

Hwang Hyunjin, 17 y/o, at the moment he 'lives' on the street, i.e. in the park under the tree. His little age is between a few months and two years old. He has no Little Space items nor a caregiver. In short, he has nothing but himself and his two bags. To put it even more briefly: He is alone!
