"Jiho-ya, take this. If anything happens to your mom and I. Use this to save yourself" the man said and handed a gun to the little boy, his innocent son.
The man lead his son to a secret tunnel wherein its entrance is found inside the wall behind his bookshelf and packed his son with foods and water.
"Follow the tunnel. It may take more than a week to reach its end but it will surely lead you to a safer place. Your Aunt Hannah and Uncle Gregor (his father's friends) will be waiting for you there"
"Dad, what about you and mom?"
"We still need to get rid of the bad people. Don't worry, we'll be fine. We'll pick you up at your Aunt Hannah's house when we're done. I promise"
After making a promise to his son, he left him and went back to save his wife but it's too late. As the boy started to follow the path, he heard gunshots from the living room. He didn't want to think that his mom and dad were shot nor they killed someone but it turns out that both are true. He wanted to go back to save his parents but because he's too afraid to get stained by random blood, to die, nor to get locked up in a very dirty room. The boy fears germs and bacteria the most. He is a Mysophobe.
After 12 days of journey inside the tunnel, the boy finally reached its end and just as what his father said, his aunt is waiting for him.
"Han Jiho! let's go" his aunt tried to hold his hands but he nervously hid them in his pocket.
"I don't know what are the things you held recently. They probably contain bacteria"
"Jiho, I think you already know.... That your mom and dad died for the sake of your safety. Please, let us help them fulfill their wish which is to keep you safe"
"I know it was them who got shot" the boy started to cry. "If...... If I don't have this kind of mental disorder. Will I be able to save them?"
"Probably not. The enemies are much stronger"
"If... If I wasn't like this, I could've do something. But I really can't help myself but to fear things that are not scary for normal people. I really couldn't help it"
His aunt went closer to him and injected an anesthesia that causes long-term memory loss.
"Aunt... What did you just do?"
"Your parents asked me to inject this vitamin to your body. That way you can grow stronger"
The boy's aunt took him to their house and after the boy rested, he opened his eyes with an empty mind. Not even knowing who he was.
"Are you alright?"
"Who... Who are you? .... And who am I?"
"I'm Lee Hannah. I see you don't remember anything after the car accident. Your name is Lee Taeyong, you are my son"
"Car accident? Then how come I didn't have any scars?"
"You've been in a comma for how many weeks. I'm sure they're all healed"
"Mom.... Mom?"
"Yes?"
"Is this my room?"
"Why, yes!"
"I need to clean everything"
"What do you mean? It's all clean here?"
"I need disinfectants"
"You haven't forgot about your mental disorder? Anyway that's not important for now. Lee Taeyong, it's very dangerous outside. There are lots of bad people. Your dad I will die soon. We can't fight for you forever. So what I'm talking about is, you need to be prepared in case if anything happens to us. You need to cure your Mysophobia first. After all it's only you who can cure it"
"I don't get it mom. My head aches"
"I'll explain everything later"
"Mom! I don't understand what you're talking about but I promise to protect our family in the future"
Chapter 6
You
The people in the bus were gradually decreasing so you had the chance to sit and Taeyong fell asleep. After a little while, you finally arrived at the Mansion but Taeyong doesn't want to go inside.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm gonna sleep here tonight"
"What?! Are you crazy? You're gonna sleep on the ground?! As if you can handle it"
"I can... I have to" he said and started crying. You went closer to him and comforted him. "I have to cure this stupid Mysophobia. I need to protect my family"
You hugged him and patted his back. After a few minutes you finally him persuaded to go inside.
Damn! Why is he so emotional lately? Did he went through something tough?
"I don't know what you've been through but, do you want me to help you cure your Mysophobia?"
"You've done enough for today. And what you saw earlier, that side of me, keep it in yourself. I won't make you forget it. You can laugh at me if you want, but I want to tell you that I wasn't joking. Goodnight.... And thank you" he said and went to his room.
He acted different lately. Or.... That was the real him he hid for too long.
The whole day is so tiring for you so you went out a bit for a fresh air. While watching the stars outside, Mrs. Lee went out from the main mansion and answered a call so you hid in the bushes to avoid disturbing the talk. You felt bored so you decided to go back inside the second mansion but Mrs. Lee mentioned something that made you stay for a little while.
"Agent 36 is missing?!"
Ahhh right, I forgot to tell her that agent 36 was missing. I though he just went home but he's really missing? - you thought
"Jung Inho, please train the other agents. I'm sure the Cobra is on the move now. We need to save Hyun Dawon (agent 36), he knows Taeyong the most. We can't let that Cobra know everything about Taeyong. "
Jung Inho? Isn't that Jaehyun's dad? Or is it just another Jung Inho? - you thought. Cobra?
*In y/n's memory*
"Dad, have you ever thought of your life as an animal?" The little y/n said as she and her dad waits for the sunset.
"I did, I always do. How about you?"
"If I will be reborn as an animal, I want to be horse!"
"A horse? Hahahahha why?"
"Because it's useful to warriors"
"Really? Ahhh you're talking about the ancient times. But actually now you don't need those stupid horses to win a war. All you need is venom"
"Then dad, what animal do you want to be in your next life that's more useful than a horse?"
"Useful hmm? I wouldn't say they're completely useful but for me snakes are better than horses. Yes they are used as traitors in modern language, but they are truly deadly. And their enemies won't be able to recognize them because their good at changing skins. That's useful enough for me"
"So you want to be reborn as a snake? That's scary!!!!"
They both laughed and the sun is finally setting
"Dad look! The sunset is really beautiful!"
"You asked if I want to be a snake....A Cobra perhaps?.... It looks cool"
