(Y/n)s life is threatened by a black marketeer Min Yoongi who had adopted her just to feed his bank account. When the two seemingly get along well things sink a lot deeper. As she runs away from her problems with the man of her dreams Jeon Jungkook...
I finished my plate of food Hoseok had made me with a full stomach. I watched as Hoseok got up and grabbed his and my plate. He started washing the plates and I felt unhelpful. "Uum, can I help with anything?" He looked at me and smiled "no you're fine, you can go do whatever".
I felt relieved that Hoseok didn't want me to do anything. I wouldn't know where anything would be so how could I clean. I walked over to the couch and sat down. Even though I had already seen everything in the house I was still looking around like it was new to me.
There was a piece of pottery in the corner that bought my eye. It amazed me that I didn't notice it before it was so big.

The sound of the water running in the background was the only thing I could hear. It reminded me of that day. The day my mother tried to drown me. As soon as I new it I was there again, in that same place, with that same feeling. The type of feeling where you wake up and you think "today's gonna be a good day" but it turns out to be the worst day ever.
"Mom! I like this one" I pointed to a little flower. It was light blue and purple on the edges of the petals. It was as if someone painted a galaxy on a white, blank, canvas. "That's a smeraldo flower, it's not real." My mother said not even glimpsing at me. There was a cactus next to it with a yellow top. "What about this?"
"That's a cactus don't you know what a cactus is?"
"I do, but what does it mean?"
"That symbolizes warmth, protection, and endurance"
she turned around and smiled.
"What does the smeraldo flower mean?"
"Just get the cactus, it's more like us".
Me and my mom were very close. I loved her and she loved me..at least I thought. We went shopping for plants cause we had just moved Into a new house, and wanted to make the house look more homey. I decided to get a flower that had a beautiful meaning because it was always nicer to have something beautiful in the house.
Our new house was near a lake in the middle of a field. It was more towards the country side, and out in the middle of nowhere. The house was big and pretty but there were only three of us who lived there. The wood was old but my mom and dad promised that they would fix it up. I was really happy we had gotten away from gwangju..to much happened there.
That evening me and my mom decided to walk down to the lake. We walked through tall grass and pretty flowers to get there, but it was worth it. We reached the lake and decided to catch lightning bugs. We had all the supply.
My mom was a child at heart which is probably why we got a long so well. Everyday I was with her was like dancing while you can feel the warmth from the sun all around you. I was always happy with her. We would catch butterflies, or go stargazing, we would take long long walks. We laughed so much that it was basically like a period at the end of a sentence. I loved her and she loved me...but people can lie.
It soon got dark and the lightning bugs were flickering on and off in the little jar. I listened to the grasshoppers, cicadas, and the water mixing together making a beautiful night time song. I was walking along the edge of the lake when I was swooped off my feet by my mom.
I thought it was all fun and games
Laughing, and playing, and splashing I was thrown into the water.
I thought you loved me
I body hit the water and was consumed by it. My head was fully submerged. I knew how to swim but for some reason I couldn't make it up the surface. I thought it was because the water was deep, so I started trying to swim faster and harder.
Why would you try to kill me if you loved me
And then I realized....my head was being held under the water. I opened my eyes and saw my mom pushing me under, restricting me from breath, grounding me from life.
What did I do?
My eyes were flashing red, and blue with a background of dots as my puls became stronger and louder. It felt like my body was crying out to me to breath, but I couldn't. It felt like my eyes were glitching. It felt like my life was going back and forth between life and death.
