Sunshine in the Dark

Chapter One

Felix:

I was walking home like i always do when i would get out of work and head home taking the same route through the forest. Everyone would say that no one should go there because it was haunted and people would go missing. But i have been using the forest since i can remember i loved how quiet it was and how nice it smelled. I first moved to South Korea when i was maybe around three years old i dont really remember my old home town though since i was very young. I have been living on my own though when i turned 15 my parents were into some shady business and i tried to keep away from that for a while. They were always spoiling me though because i was their only son and i was happy. The day that it all went dark was when i was in my school and i got called to the office of the headmaster i was confused since i always tried to stay out of trouble. As soon as i got there though there was this aura that was so dense and scary i cleared my throat and walked in greeting the headmaster.

Felix im glad you made it here right away im afraid we have some bad news to tell you but first i need you to sit down for me.I nodded and sat down gulping i felt sweat dripping down my face and my hands were shaky i was honestly afraid of what he was gonna say.

Felix your father and mother were found dead in the forest near your home son. The person who found them said there was a lot of blood.They looked like if they were attacked by wolves at that which is strange since wolves hardly ever attack humans. Im so sorry that we had to tell you this and in such a way but they did have a will that was left behind. It says that once you turned 18 you will inherit half a billion dollars the estate and you will be raised by your house maid Mary.He looked at me with what seemed as a sad expression but as i looked at him closer his eyes glimmered as if he was happy seeing me suffer with his words. I was horrified to hear such a thing but he cleared his throat and continued talking.

You will have to understand that this is sudden and it will hurt you for sure just make sure not to let it get to you so much. You do still have finals and these are real important as well you also need to be eating properly do you understand? I looked at him with shock as those words left his mouth i tried to think of what to say but my tears spilled out of my eyes and i had a very bad word vomit.

H how can you just sit there and tell me all this and expect me to be fine m my parents are dead and im only 15 years old. I understand that exams are coming up but does that really matter at the moment how can you be so heartless headmaster? I cried as i let his words sink in and without a second thought i ran out of the office i ran out of the school i ran till i got to the forest and yelled and screamed. I was at a loss for words i didn't know what to do or think i rememberd falling asleep on the medow that was inside the forest. When i awoke though i was back at home with Mary she was sitting down on her rocking chair crying silently. I sat up and ran to her falling on my knees crying holding her so close to me i thought if i let her go she would also leave me.

Its been 5 years since the incident happened and i have never gotten over what happened to my parents. I loved them so much and i wished everyday to be able to see them once more and hug them and tell them i loved them. I now only have myself two years after my parents died Mary left me she couldn't handle the mansion anymore i was sad but i let her leave. I also decided to leave the mansion and rented out a small apartment closer to the forest and till this day i never used my parents money i just couldn't. I got a job working at a convenience store just crossing the forest which was my worst decision yet. The owner was a pig and he was always trying to fill me up which i would try and avoid him as much as possible i hated creepy old men. I got my mothers side with my fair complexion and freckles i looked like a girl but my voice would ruin the image the only thing i got from my father. Another thing i got from both is the love for books my nose was always stuck in one the world they painted in front of my eyes the love they had as well. I remember before Mary left she told me to always take the medicine that would mysteriously arrive just on time before it would finish. I thought once i moved it would stop but nope for some reason they had my new address it was a bit worrying but i let it slip my mind.

Late one evening as i was reading my favorite book of all time the chime on the door to the shop rang. I looked up curious to know who had walked in at such late hour i quirked an eyebrow to see a dude that was around my age. I rolled my eyes and went back to reading but i couldnt help but feel my curiosity get the best of me so i kept taking glances at him. Not gonna lie he was very handsome and tall muscular and he had the bad boy vibe going. I couldn't help but stare him down and wondering what he would be like in a book would he be the good guy or bad guy. The more i stared i came to the conclusion bad guy that stays with the girl i giggled a bit at my imagination. I stopped though as soon as i heard him clear his throat i looked up and blushed at how close he was.

You know you should be paying close attention to your surroundings there mate. People out here are crazy they can hurt you while you aren't expecting it.

His accent was so deep and beautiful i thought i was hearing an angel talk. Before i could even register what i said i felt so stupid. I swear i wished the world could just swallow me whole and let me disappear in peace. I had let the words beautiful and handsome slip out of my mouth without realizing it. As soon as they left though i slapped a hand over my mouth and grew a bright red color. The guy smiled and some dimples showed which made him more attractive. I rung him up and he paid for what he came for but left me his number and winked as he walked out. I looked down at the paper and it said Bang Chan with his number on it. I squeked and jumped up and down twirling around the store. Wanting this night to be over i closed up and ran home the adrenaline running through my body was crazy. I just couldn't believe what happened in there as i got closer to the middle of the forest though i felt chills run up and down my spine. So i kept looking around to make sure no one was following me or any animal for that matter. I heard a snap coming from behind me and thats all i needed to high tail it out of the forest and to the safety of my home.

As soon as i got home i messaged Chan and we talked for a while but i had to stop texting him. I needed to shower and get ready for bed but before that i needed to take my medicine and eat my dinner. I went to my medicine drawer and pulled out the bottle i took out the pill and looked at it i scrunched my nose from the smell of it but i had no choice. I drank the pill with some orange juice and went to go eat my spaghetti leftovers from last night. I watched some videos on my phone of the loop artists that im obsessing over then went to shower. After that i went to sleep but hardly heard from Chan which was boring because i wanted to lose my virginity already and he was hot so i wanted him.
