The house is quiet. These walls have seen more heartbreaking scenes than happy ones.
Mr. Park gifted this house to his daughter in the hopes of her making as many joyful memories as he has with her mother. He had great plans for her, to see her fill these rooms with smiles and love because his only wish has always been seeing his daughter happy. But he understands losing her own mother took a piece of the possibility of that coming true. He's aware something went wrong along the way. He's aware he's part of the reason why. Perhaps he at some point thought he's making it easy for her, that her future is already planned and she doesn't have to do anything for it. It keeps him up at night, refuses to blame himself for everything though. It's better to deny rather than admit to himself that he has quite possibly ruined his daughter's life.
It keeps Vivi up all night too.
She stares into the darkness with heavy eyes. Lips parted from exhaustion, her heart is in a million pieces that she holds in the palm of her hands. There's a thick wall between her and happiness that she understands will forever stop her from going to the other side. Her darkened self regrets not realizing it sooner. Because if she knew, the night of the break in, she would've let the stalker take her away, finish her, anything. Just so she wouldn't have to live this lie. Just so she wouldn't have met Jungkook.
Darkness continues to follow her as she travels the hallways in a quiet, barely-there manner. The eyes of the cameras follow her as well but there's nothing they can do because behind those eyes is no one.
The world is different at 3am and Vivi comes to terms with it when she leaves through the backdoor. Fear is there in her chest but she can't bring herself to care. Everything hurts too much. And when she reaches the lake, she breaks down in hopeless cries. Falling to her knees and grasping on to the dry hay, tears pour down her cheeks and the whole world is on her shoulders, causing her to gasp for air from its weight.
Everything feels so fresh in her system, everything that happened two days ago. The empty gazes and careless behavior, she takes them in again and again. They run in her veins, travel around her system, kill everything inside. And she begs for them to kill the love she has for him. Just so she wouldn't have to suffer anymore. But at the same time she holds on to it, protects it, shields it with her broken heart. Even when she has nothing else to lose than that.
