"Looks like your mom's not home"
Mr Kim said as he stepped inside home with Chang-min.
''Oh, you guys are back"
Chae-yong said as she came out of the room.
"Yeah, but where is your mom? "
Mr Kim asked.
"One of her friends came to pick her up"
Chae-yong replied.
"But why are you looking for her?"
Chang-min finally spoke out, and she sounded frustrated.
"We had to file for the divorce today "
Mr Kim replied.
And it was the last sound in the room, he left both of his daughters shocked.
"What?!"
Chae-yong shouted.
"It was supposed to be after my exams"
"I know, which is just after a week"
Mr Kim said as sat on couch.
"Then why are you filing for divorce today?"
Chang-min asked.
"Our marriage is of twenty two years, it'll be a long process"
Mr Kim said.
"It may take a month"
He added.
"Dad, can we atleast be together till my exams"
Chae-yong pleaded.
"Well, it's obvious your exams are starting in the end of December and end on 4th of January "
"Who's gonna get my custody?"
Chang-min asked looking down.
"I hope I get"
Mr Kim said.
"I forgot to tell you, we're not going to Mexico anymore, we're moving to Tokyo, Japan"
Mr Kim added before leaving the room.
"What about you and Dae-hyun?"
Chae-yong asked receiving a sad sigh from Chang-min.
"Wish mom and dad weren't getting divorced"
Chang-min said before going inside her room.
As she entered, she plopped on bed and started crying.
"Why am I so unlucky?"
Chang-min said sobbing.
"I'm so lonely, every happiness I get is taken away"
She said again.
Sometimes closing your eyes and ignoring your problems is the best way to escape them.
Though it's temporary, it's effective.
Chang-min did the same thing. She closed her eyes and drifted to her past.
The past which wasn't real. All in her imagination, the way she dreamt of.
Two years ago, fourteen years old Chang-min who had a life of normal teenagers.
A birthday of normal teenagers.
All of her friends were gathered at her house. Dae-hyun, the one who loves her the most was also there, with the best gift. He had got her a huge teddy bear.
"Thank you so much Dae-hyun"
Chang-min said as she hugged him.
"You're most welcome"
He said hugging her back.
It was all beautiful, but still something felt off.....
"Dae-hyun, do you know how much I love you?"
Two years old Chang-min asked.
"As much as stars in sky"
Dae-hyun spoke.
"Yes"....
"Chang-min, it's time to cut the cake"
Her dad called out, as all the children went to the table where cake was placed.
Chang-min also went there dragging Dae-hyun along with her.
"Dad, where is mom?"
Chang-min asked.
Suddenly everything went on rewind mode except Chang-min.
Once everything was normal again, one of Chang-min's aunt spoke out annoyed
"When are you going to cut cake, my baby is crying"
And the next moment, she disappeared.
Chang-min was scared to core, but everyone else didn't even looked worried for her aunt.
"What happened dear?"
Her dad asked.
"N-nothing"
Chang-min said as she picked the knife to cut the cake.
Every started singing the birthday song. The room was filled with joy as Chang-min blowed the candle making a wish.
She cut the cake a took it in her hands.
She fed it to Dae-hyun, Chae-yong, and her dad.
She was looking for her mom. It was weird that she wasn't there.
She was lost in her thoughts when suddenly she heard a familiar voice.
It was her mom's voice!!
The voice was continuously calling her.
And with the voice, everything had paused.
Chang-min looked around in search for the source of the voice. Nevertheless,she couldn't find it.
Suddenly one of the walls in the room started cracking. Soon enough there was a huge crack in the wall.
Through the crack, Chang-min could see her mom, waving at her with a very creepy smile.
"Chang-min, won't you come to your mom?"
She tried manipulating Chang-min.
Though Chang-min's heart wasn't allowing her to,she let her mom succeed.
Chang-min slowly took steps towards the crack. With each step, the room became more faded.
Until it had lost all it's colours when Chang-min was standing just infront of the crack.
"Chang-min ,come to your mom"
Her mom said holding out her hand.
Something was stopping Chang-min from holding her hand. Maybe her heart it was.
Whatever,it was weak before Chang-min's mom manipulation.
Chang-min held the hand of her mom,as she was pulled into the crack.
Suddenly her mom started laughing physchopatically.
Poor Chang-min was scared to core.
She started crying, and begging her mom to let her go back.
But who was her mom to listen.
When suddenly Chang-min's eyes shot open, realising all of it was a jus a nightmare. A nightmare depicting her life.
