A 12 Years Promise Fanfiction (OC X ??)

°Chapter 1°

Beep......Beep......Beep......Beep...

That was all I could hear. Darkness was all I could see. Everything was a complete blur, but I was no fool. I knew exactly what happened, and the thought made me sick to my stomach. How could someone be so vicious towards another human.

------------------------------------

My mind was blank and my eyes were empty and soulless. My back hurt because of the way I was strewn across the hard concrete ground. I could already feel the bruises forming on my skin. There was blood all over the ground around me from the scrapes on my arms, legs, and sides, but I couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

....Beep...

It was dark where I was; so dark that even if I hadn't felt like I was looking through a kaleidoscope, I would've still had no sense of direction. The frigid winter air was unforgiving to my already freezing body. Parts of it were numb, while others were full of intense pain. And it was difficult to breathe; every breath felt like my last.

....Beep...

Both my body and my heart ached. How could one human being do this to another? How could a person live on with no regrets knowing that they've done such a thing? Especially to someone they claimed to love?

....Beep...

If you loved me so much, why did you hurt me?

...Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...

That was all I could hear. Everything was dark and cold. Parts of my body were numb while other parts were full of intense pain. It was extremely difficult to breathe, and every breath I took made me feel like I wanted it to be my last. It hurt so much!

It was all too traumatizing to think of. Everything from before was a huge blur that came to me in horrible flashes, and I suddenly knew everything I cherished was snatched away from me.

I was terrified, and I didn't know where I was. My heart pounded in my chest as I became more frightened. I tried to turn slightly to the left, but pain instantly erupted throughout the whole side of my body, causing me to instantly freeze, ceasing all movement, and let out a whimper. The pain was nearly unbearable! I tried to take deep breaths because the pain knocked all of the air out of me, but that only seemed to make it worse.

"Hyorin-ah! Stay still, okay? You're fine. I promise! Just stay still," a woman spoke. My mother. She gently caressed the skin on my arms and rubbed up and down in an attempt to calm me down. My body tensed up before relaxing.

"E-eomma?" I asked. My voice was a bit scratchy, and my throat was extremely sore. I peeled my eyes open with much effort, but was only able to make out blurry images of people beside the bed I was in. "Honey, go get the nurse! Quickly!" she said to someone else in a rushed spout. I heard shifting before a door opened, heavy, receding footsteps following after. Silence washed over the room before I felt the bed press down beside me and someone lightly touched my face. I knew it was Eomma because I could never mistake her warmth, but the loving gesture only caused me to flinch in fear.

The contact between her hand and my face was painful; not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I didn't understand why my body jerked back on instinct. It was as if I was afraid of her touch (or any touch in general). I instantly heard what sounded like sniffles.

'Is she crying?' My thoughts were proven to be correct when I looked up and saw tears running down her face. She held the back of her hand against her mouth in an attempt to muffle her cries.
