Finals were tommorow.
It was 4 in the morning.
" Tae, are you still up?" My aunt called. I nodded.
" Your dad want to talk to you." She said.
I froze a bit, but grabbed the phone.
" H-hello?" I said.
" hey kid."
A voice that scared me all the time.
" come to that place.
If you want to save them,
come quick.
When your aunt falls asleep in 3,
2,
1,
come out, to that place
with the money."
I put the phone down, and raced to get out of my room, looking for my aunt.
Only to find her asleep on the ground.
that man's tricks must work, huh?
I ran out of the front door, into the outdoors.
I knew exactly where that "place" was.
It was a place in a abandoned hotel, in Daegu.
I lived with my aunt, for school.
Unfortunately for my siblings, they were stuck.
With my dad.
I ran with the money
I needed to save them.
At this hotel, they would get beaten
If I didn't have money.
The old hotel had appeared in front of my eyes.
But, which room would it be?
The room numbers would always change.
If I didn't have the money by a certain time, they.
they would die.
I didn't want to risk their lives, for me. For my stupid self.
I raced into the hotel. Looking around the rooms.
Which room would that man be in?
A scream yelled.
I jumped, exactly knowing who it was.
" TAEYEON, WHERE ARE YOU?!" I yelled. I ran across, following the yells, " TAEYEON, TAEYEON!"
I passed a room, where there were 2 people. I ran back to that room.
Suddenly the yell stopped.
" It looks like you were a bit too late, huh?" He said. A soju bottle was in his hand.
He never got drunk. Stupid magic tricks.
" you bastard."
" you don't call your father a bastard, that's some rude manners there." He said. " So I heard, you didn't get first in the chapter quiz."
I froze. How did he hear about that?
" And I heard you didn't make it into the 0.1 percentile for science."
" I told you what that meant already, didn't I?" He said.
My fist clenched.
" Where's Taemin. Tell me now." I said.
" You could guess, but you'd never find him."
" Cus he's dead." He said.
I couldn't take it any longer. All the anger went into my fist, smacking the man's face.
The blood came down his cheek. Ha, so magic can't help him all the time.
" ha. foolish kid, you never learn, do you?" he said. " They're dead, forever. You can't do anything about it."
I ran out.
If I was a bit earlier, Minji could've lived a better life.
If I passed those tests and gotten what he wanted, I could've let Taemin live.
I spat in disgust.
Why did I have to be perfect? Why did I have to do everything just right?
Why?
Why did mom die? Why did dad kill her?
Why was dad a magician? He could act immortal.
He had changed me into a person, who would never sleep.
I had to work for Minji and Taemin's life, and study for my life.
I only lived for Minji and Taemin.
My life was like a paper.
Except it was scribbled on everywhere.
No more places to write on.
No more things to do.
All the options were gone.
And instead of my artwork I wanted.
They were filled of scribbles that dude put.
I was sick of it.
The sun was about to rise,
The cold winter air slapped me, as I was running to my location.
I slowly climbed up the tower.
Below me, welcomed the winter sea.
The winter sea roared, early in the morning.
I sighed.
One jump, one courageous step.
Then life would be happier.
I wished on that tower.
" I wish people would appreciate me, and instead of doing what other people would like to do, I wish I could've gone my own way. I wish I could've saved and protected taeyeon and Taemin, helping them do whatever they wanted. I wish I could've lived with lots of love from people. I wish I could've had talent."
" I wish I could've made everyone happy."
Suddenly I jumped.
Without warning my mind first, I jumped.
The cold water suddenly covered me, like a towel getting wiped off someone.
Except no one would've cared enough to put that towel on me.
And, I was getting colder and colder.
My eyes were getting sore from looking around in the cold darkness.
My lungs filled with water. They were filling up.
My mind was filling up with thoughts.
I couldn't swim back up.
My eyes started to shut, as water filled my mind.
A girl suddenly swam towards me.
Medium long chestnut hair, hazel eyes.
pale skin.
My eyes shut
