It was a strange thought to go to school and then return to a house where so many teenagers and children lived.
Not returning to the home where your parents were, where your mother welcomed you with a wonderful meal and your father challenged you to a basketball game afterwards. Sitting together at the table, talking and eating. Watching a movie in the evening, any movie that was on the TV, because it didn't matter which one they chose. They would watch it anyway, because the feeling of family alone was enough. And the morning after, you would be woken up by the gentle voice of your mother, who had already made you a toast and a hot chocolate because she knew how much you loved it.
These children did not know any of this, these values of family, belonging and love.
Because their families were either unable to teach them these values, or they simply didn't want to. It was too much for them to have a son or daughter with mental health problems. It was work, it took patience and, above all, hope and perseverance.
And unfortunately, very few of them had that.
That's what the Moonlit Residence was for, a place for those who didn't have the chance of a real home.
A new home, one where their parents didn't live, but where there were people who liked and supported them. Two of these young people were Lee Kangsung and Taeseung. The two brothers had not been able to experience this feeling of parental love, at least not when they needed it. This was because their own mother, who had constantly shown affection to her two boys, had taken her own life far too early. At the age of nine, Kangsung and his brother, who was three years younger, experienced a tremendous loss. It was a day that the two boys could still remember very clearly. One that was etched in their memories. One that never faded. A thought that always buzzed in Kangsung's head. There were only a few days when things were better than usual. When he saw the positive things in life.
Joy, passion, friendship, love.
Feelings that he couldn't categorize, but desperately wanted.
Kangsung wanted to be strong and not give in to the thought of his deceased mother. To resist and not follow her path. But then there were those days when this was his greatest wish - to see her again. For years, Kangsung had given free rein to his feelings, not resisting them and therefore hurting himself just to avoid feeling the emotional pain. So that he no longer had to think about this scene when he and Taeseung came home from school one day almost ten years ago.
It had been a day like any other. He had been proud of a good grade, because Kangsung was good at school. He had little trouble memorizing things, even though it was his fourth year of elementary school. His little brother had just started school and he always helped him when he got stuck. Kangsung had an incredibly good relationship with his sibling, which is why he went home with him every day after school.
They were both looking forward to their time at home, where they could devote themselves to their toys again. But most of all, they were looking forward to eating, as both their stomachs were already growling.
