Seungho's pov (flashback)
"i really want to move out," i said to my dad but he refused for the nth time. "you're sixteen, just keep waiting till you get to atleast eighteen." he replied with the same answer once again, leaving me silent. i went back to my room only to find out ilsung was messing with my computer. i went closer to him as he got scared.
"ahh! why do you always do this, hyung?" he looked at me as i didnt give any visible reactions. "why are you at my desk again?" i just asked. "hm.. this video looked cool. also hyung, does living alone feel good? you ask for that almost like.. twice a week. are you gonna earn?!" he asked curiously. "none of your businesses.." i rolled my eyes and grabbed him away from my desk and sat there. he started pushing me out of frustration. "you're really mean!! i wish you move out.. so i can have my own computer." he looked at me with his childish anger.
"yeah yeah just study i guess or you're gonna mess your exams up again," i said as he just left.
i sighed. not like i didnt like my parents or anything like that. i just felt distant sometimes. all the hyungs i knew lived alone with their own choices. or maybe i was just overreacting over something this trivial. perhaps it was better to live with my parents and ilsung. even though ilsung annoys the hell out of me.
doomscrolling through my computer once again, watching random physics videos which did not give me benefits in any way. people would call me a nerd at school. i mean it's lowkey like theyre admitting i'm smarter. or doing something better, atleast. i went to school the other day again.
nothing out of the ordinary since i barely had any friends there. i'm probably just weird. not like i'm sad about it either. they were discussing about something in the middle of break. my friend was in there too while i was just looking at the clear sky throughout the window beside my seat. he came suddenly and startled me.
"seungho, i heard something fairly nice," he said excitedly as i looked up at him. "what?"
"well yea i know dark web is like.. illegal but this sounds pretty much like a nice deal," he replied as he sat next to me. "what's with dark web again.. yall are so weird." i frowned and said. "pfft, we definitely wont get into this shit but i heard a group of people are actually doing something great for once with the help of dark web which is lowkey unusual," he said.
"they're willing to pay whoever got the guts to deal with uhh mentally ill patients! that sounds really nice to me i dunno, it could be a trap too, but if it isnt something like that then i wonder why is it in the dark web and not anywhere else," he frowned. i looked away and sighed. "sounds like a scam to me,"
"they also have locations under their uh.. site. i think the site can be found when you enter the dark web and turn on your location. so that probably means its around seoul."
"i pass," i said, when i knew i definitely didnt mean that entirely.
i went back home that day and tried going to the dark web. it looked weird. when i turned on the location the site actually showed up but i lowkey hesitated to click on it and explore. i started to think about the worst that could happen. hmm.. perhaps me and my whole family getting killed? it would be terrible but i didnt really think it would happen.. i exited the web afterwards though, not really clicking on the website. however, that didnt really help as i heard it didnt really matter if i went on clicking the site for just to visit. so i did, after a few days.
i scrolled for a while and found.. nothing wrong about it. they were doing good stuff and all and were hiring people, didnt mention the age range though.. if it were actually a nice thing why was it even in a place like dark web? that was what didnt really make sense. i got out from the site and continued my day, remembering the location was fairly close to my house.
