Chapter 1

A heavy footsteps, it's approaching my room I heared it, slowly, the door opened. I didn't hear a sound of a person entering it. It closed.

There's a person in my room. I'm sure of it, I can't see it but I feel it's presence. It slowly approach me, why I can't hear it's footsteps?

It stand behind my bed, it's watching me, my blanket move, is it my mom? It go to the top of me and strangled me. No! why? I can't move, I want to scream but I can't open my mouth! what's happening?

Will I die? I don't know what to do I- I can't die! It's so tight... my kneck feels so tight, I want it to stop but I can't move, the way it strangle me, it's like it have a grudge against me.

I'm running out of breathe, no no no I need to move I need to stop it, why? why I can't move? I suddenly felt weak, before I passed out, a slap hit my face.

"AHHH!" I screamed. A dream? I looked around and saw my grandma, she looks worried.

"Oh god, what is happening to you? why are you always having a nightmare huh?" a tears fell down in my cheek.

I hug my grandma. I'm scared, if grandma wasn't here, I would've died long time ago

"Don't worry, I'm always here, shhh don't cry anymore" grandma pat my head.

"Come here I would cook you a breakfast"

I stand and hold my grandma's hand. When I was a baby, grandma took care of me. I don't know my dad, I don't know my mom also. I've been asking grandma for a long time but she would just get quiet and never answered.

"Grandma, where's my mom and dad?" grandma look at me with a bitter look in her eyes.

"Grandma, it's okay to tell me that they're not here anymore. I'll accept it, the only thing that matters is I have you." Grandma sighed.

Growing up was just fine, grandma is giving me all the love that my parents can't give, I couldn't ask for for more, but sometimes I can't help to miss my parents.

"Take a seat, I'll tell you while I cook"  I hurriedly take a seat, I'm curious... I'm curious about my mom, why grandma is the one that',s taking care of me instead of her?

"Your mom got pregnant while studying, your mom told it to his boyfriend but the boyfriend can't accept it that's why he ran away. And not only that, the boy almost poison your mother."

I stared at grandma and I saw her face with a glint of dissapointment.

"One day hyun approach your mom, Hyun-chul is your mom's boyfriend. In short he's your father. Hyun-chul said that he regret it and he's know ready to take the responsibility of being a father. Your father invited your mom to eat and said he would cook for her, your mother doesn't know that your father is trying to kill her with food poisoning. The maid saw what your father puts at your mother's food and tell it right away. Your mother left that house, drop school and hid here."

"She raised you here, she loved you more than anything, until one day you said you want to b
stroll at our neighborhood, your mom disagree so you force me to convince your mother. Your mother can't resist and he let you ride your bike. If only I didn't intervened"

Grandma shake her head and bitterly smiled.

"What happened after that?" I asked my grandma

"It's ready, let's eat, you have classes also"

"But grandma, you're not done to-"

"I'm sorry haneul, I tell you more when you're ready"
