15 years ago:

Imagine the time when you were a child, what did you do most of the time? Maybe you were busy doing things which annoyed your parents, so you got scolded, but usually in the end of the day they loved you anyways.

A six year old Taehyung ran barefooted as fast as he could across the small village. His only thought was how to escape the hell hole in which he lived since he could think. The heavy rain didn't make it easier for the young boy to ran, so he slipped a few times, causing more wounds to his already scars covered body, despite the fact that he could ran pretty fast for a six year old.

"You little brat! Do you really think you can run away!?"

Fear...That was the only thing he felt right now. The blood of the open wounds which must have hurt, didn't bother him, his legs which got weaker and weaker as time passed, didn't bother him, his head which got lighter and lighter didn't bother him.
It was as if his legs just continued to run, whether he gave the command to do it or not, so even his body parts knew he had to escape.

After 15 minutes, which felt like an eternity to Taehyung, he reached a hill, where he finally collapsed.

His chest was rising and falling in an animalistic speed

His chest was rising and falling in an animalistic speed.
After laying there for two minutes he slowly got up, immediately regretting his move. His head was spinning around and he felt like he would lose his awareness any second.

"Is everything alright? You don't look very good."

Silence

Little Taehyung was shocked. This was the first time ever that he heard another voice than the usual scary voices he hears every day. With wide eyes he stared at the figure above him, to scared to say something.
He is going to hurt me! I know he will hurt me!
This was the only thought running across his mind, but to his surprise the older boy smiled warmly at him.
He is smiling...not one of those creepy smiles which i get before they hurt me, but another smile...a different one. I read something about different smiles somewhere before. They tell something about the persons real intentions and feelings.

"You are bleeding! Oh god, wait here, I know a nice old woman who lives in this old house down there. I will bring a first aid kit, so don't move!"

And with that the boy left a bleeding Taehyung alone who was more than just surprised. He didn't know why but for the first time in his life, he felt something called...hope?

"There you are you little monster."

As soon as he heard these words, his hopes shattered into little pieces and all he could do was to watch the man in horror as he came inch by inch closer with the metal rod in his hands and a psychopathic smile plastered on his face.

"Don't be sad V, I will bring you to your father, so he can take care of you."

And with that Taehyung heard a loud pang, before his body got numb and the darkness surrounded him.
He will never forget how this five minutes of freedom and hope felt like.
