Dream Catcher || JungIn

chapter one

Yein.

Hello, I am Yein . I live alone in a big house in Seoul. I live a pretty sad life, because my parents are not there for me.

My mom died and my dad abandoned me.

Thinking about it bring tears to my eyes.

I lived without my parents for about 10 years now.

You might be thinking how on earth did I survived when I was only 6 when they left me

My aunt adopted me and took care of me and when I reached the age of 16, she gave me a house that I will live in.

After all this years, I don't have friends.

Even just one friend, I didn't make any. But I didn't give up on having hope that I will be loved someday.

Thats because of my mom's last gift to me.

It was a beautiful dream catcher. With pretty lilac colored beads, I fell in love with it.

My mom told me to hang it in my room and dream of amazing things because it will help me someday.

I dreamt everyday and every night.

I hope my dream will come true...

I just can't give up on it, I promised my mom I will believe on it.

I just hope that tomorrow will be a great day for I will be in 3rd year in high school.

I often change schools and now I will be in this school that is only for elite students.

I don't fit in there, I am poor and I just depend on my aunt who has an average job.

I will be the laughing stock in school, I am sure of that.

Why is my life so complicated?

I never spoken to a guy before after my dad abandoned me.

I didn't even spoke to anyone after the incident except for my aunt.

I was a very shy child. I didn't talk to anyone and it hurts me inside why I can't stand up for myself.

Why am I so weak?

I felt hopeless and that I was so weak. That I always need support, that I always depend on someone.

I hate it. I hate the fact that I am weak, hopeless and a burden.

I always feel that I am a burden. I always try to be independent but I don't succeed at all.

Why is life so harsh and bad to me?

I hate my life.

-skip to morning-

Good morning, I am currently preparing because school starts at 8:00 am.

Its still 7:00 but I am off to school.

I just walked because I don't want to be a burden again.

While I was walking, my eyes caught the sight of a child holding her mother and father's hand while smiling happily.

My eyes brimmed with tears. I wish I experienced that.

I decided not to let my tears fall and continued walking with my head down.

While I was walking, I bumped into someone.

"Watch where your going! Damn it" I heard the guy said.

I didnt look up and instead just bowed to him.

"S-sorry" I said.

He just pushed me which causes me to fall to the ground.
