We helped others. Those who needed help were our targets. We were Robin hoods.
"Why don't you smile?"
"I don't know how..."
I saw how the flames swallowed the building. I had to escape.
The water was cold, probably because there was no heating i...
I came home late. Father was not awake. He slept on the couch. I sneaked past him and went to my room. I closed the door and breathed slowly. This night had been incredible. I was welcomed. I wasn't a beast in their eyes. I was a human.
I went on the mattress on the floor and closed my eyes. Can it be possible that I have found my family? I've been alone my whole life, but now I found people who spoke to me. They asked if everything was okay, they took care. I wanted to be with them.
And so I did. We met almost every day under the bridge. It became our gathering place. We talked and laughed together. Minhyuk taught me how to smile.
We sat in peace. We were happy.
We helped others. Those who needed help were our targets. We helped street merchants when police were harassing them. We were brave and young. Jooheon grabbed the police officer's gun and pointed in to his own head. I placed flowers on their pockets. We were Robin hoods.

One day we met again. We talked about something. Suddenly Kihyun noticed someone was coming.
"Who is that?" He asked and pointed at the older man walking toward us.I immediately recognized the old face.I quickly rose to stand.
"F-father?" I asked carefully.
"Do you spend time here? You beast don't understand how you hurt others." He spat, looking down on me. "You shouldn't be with them."
"I... don-"
"Shut up!" He raised his hand and hit me.
I shut my mouth and took the hit. I looked at the ground. This was disgraceful. "Come home early today." Father said before leaving with his friends.
I sat down and rubbed my cheek. Others were frightened. Minhyuk looked at me with worry.
"A-are you okay?" He asked.
I nodded, but didn't look at him.
If I had known what follows from all this, I would not have come to meet my friends. If I had known how we would suffer, I would have stayed away from them. I just wanted to help. I just wanted to live.
