Beauteous Luhan

[V]- Shade (Syn.)

|N|ine years old Luhan can't stop crying as he follows his mother who's going down the stairs.

"M-Mom, I want to come with you. Don't leave me here." Luhan pleaded. But his mother ignores him as the latter struggles with her suitcases while taking a rush steps on the stairway.

Luhan's father is in the kitchen, sitting on one of the chairs on the dining table, head's downcast, and is drinking a liquor.

His wife is getting out of his life yet he doesn't care... for now.

"M-Mom..." Luhan called once more when he and his mother have already descended from the stairs.

"Don't call me mom." Luhan's mother's cold reply as she pulls her suitcases and walks towards the front door.

Mrs. Oh only turns to Luhan when she's already standing in the front door, holding the door knob, ready to escape in the life she once dreamed to have but now she's wanting to bury in the past and start anew. There's no emotion, not even a tinge of sympathy, can be seen on Mrs. Oh's face as she stares at her son.

"You're not my son."

"You're not my son."

"You're not my son."

"You're not my son."

|L|uhan jolted out of sleep because of his dream, a fragment of his past that he badly wants to erase from his memory but he just can't, not when it is the main reason why he's miserable right now-- and suffering.

And now it got Luhan thinking, is the only reason why his mother left him on his father was because he's a gay? Or there's still another reason behind it?

"You're not my son."

Luhan closed his eyes, a tear fell from his eye.

'Am I just going to cry always? Feeling weak? I'm tired of this!'

It's a good thing that Luhan still have fallen asleep after watching that distressing gift from Shadow. Luhan opened his eyes and looked at the clock on his bedside table, it reads 3:32 in the morning.

Luhan accidentally turned his gaze on the entrance of his room and immediately gasped when he saw a contour of someone standing from there slowly walking towards the location of Luhan's bed.

'Shadow...' Luhan stiffened. He was so horror struck that he couldn't move an inch and think properly so that he can escape from his stalker. This might be the end for him.

"Bastard." Luhan was taken a back.

"F-Father..."

'He's Shadow!?'

Then it all made sense. This is the reason why his father wasn't home these past few days, he's also the culprit on the drugged water Luhan drank the last time he went to the kitchen, Luhan saw a sachet of (sleeping drug) in the trash can when he threw the empty cup of instant noodles he ate this morning. The knocked-out beer bottles on the top of their dining table he saw on that same time he went to the kitchen, maybe Luhan's father drank those liquors before he rape Luhan and the video.

Yet, the notes and the disappearance of Jongdae and Minseok are still unexplainable to Luhan but whatever's the explanation about these issues, it's still his father's fault.
