Inferno Hearts | Xu Minghao

4. His past

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Minghao, a reticent young boy, along with his twin sister, endured life in a shelter for countless years.

Their journey began fifteen years ago when their heartless parents deemed them worthless, ruthlessly discarding them in a dumpster near the very shelter that would later become their home, providing refuge to these innocent souls.

In this place, the young boy stumbled upon the essence of true friendship, a bond that endures even to this day among those who never experienced a parent's love or a place they could truly call home.

Seungcheol, Jun, Wonwoo, Vernon, Dino. These five friends have remained firmly by his side, united through every challenge and triumph since the day they first crossed paths.

Bound together by a shared destiny, these children faced the same heart-wrenching reality - abandoned by their families and left to navigate the world alone.

The rest of the group, including Jeonghan, Joshua, Hoshi, Woozi, Seokmin, Mingyu, and Seungkwan, played a role in accepting and embracing these orphaned boys.

While the harsh realities of school life, where others mocked and bullied them, particularly the youngest, Dino, this compassionate circle of friends became their home.

While the world labeled them with hurtful names, these boys saw in each other the warmth of genuine friendship, never viewing themselves as outcasts but as a united family.

This profound connection is the very reason why they remain inseparable to this day.

They were an inseparable group of 13, always united. Among them was Minghao's sister, Xu Min, who shared a special bond with the group and added to the strength of their tight-knit friendship.

Together, they formed an unbreakable circle of support and love, navigating life's challenges as a family.

Xu Min was truly an ethereal beauty, unparalleled in her allure. With her big, mesmerizing black eyes, fine ebony hair, and petite figure, she possessed a charm that captivated all who laid eyes upon her.

Her smile, radiant and full of warmth, seemed to illuminate even the farthest corners of a room. To her brother, she was nothing short of a divine being, a goddess walking among mortals.

The combination of her breathtaking beauty and pure innocence left him in awe, pondering how someone could be so remarkably enchanting and pure-hearted at the same time.

Despite the trials they faced and happiness not always gracing their journey, Minghao and Min remained devoted to one another.

The unique bond of their twin connection provided an unyielding source of strength, ensuring they were always there for each other, no matter the circumstances.

Darkness enveloped Minghao's world when his sister was adopted. The void left by her absence was an burden, robbing him of any sense of peace. Loneliness became an overwhelming weight, grinding him down relentlessly.

Despite his genuine care and longing for his sister's happiness, it offered no respite from the ache within him.

The void left by her absence consumed him, and the yearning to be reunited with her was a constant ache in his heart, making it difficult for him to find solace or peace.

Minghao's world shattered into pieces upon receiving the heart-wrenching news of his sister's passing. She was killed.

Initially, he clung to the hope that it was all a cruel joke, finding it inconceivable for such a tragedy to be true. The thought of living without his beloved sister seemed utterly unimaginable

As a mere 15-year-old boy, he felt utterly powerless, lacking any political or social influence.

Who would take heed of a young child's pleas? The situation took a darker turn when his sister was reported missing, not dead.

He was aware that someone might attempt to sweep the whole ordeal under the rug, concealing the truth and intensifying his feeling of helplessness.

Kim Sunghoon, the man who adopted Minghao's sister, became a central figure in the tragic chain of events which ultimately led to Min's death.

His involvement cast a shadow of grief and anger upon Minghao's heart, knowing that someone responsible for her well-being played a part in her tragic fate.

Kim Sunghoon...Nabi's father. Kim Nabi...The killer of his beloved sister.
