Hyungwon's POV

I woke up gasping for air. I looked around to see an unfamiliar room. I frantically check myself and my surroundings, only to see that this is the Hospital Wing. My wrist and arms were bruised and my body was covered in ashes. The memory of the fire came back to me. How they slapped me so hard on both cheeks. They cut off all my senses as they start the fire. I couldn't do anything as they left me after opening everything except for the rope and the gag.

I cried. Something in my mind snapped and I burst to tears. The girls laughed at my pathetic appearance, but I don't care. An image of a woman came to my mind. Some clear, some faint. In all the scene, the woman's face was blurry and unclear. I called her mom in some and in others, she took care of me like a mother would. The scenes were so real that it could pass as my memories. But I can't remember when it occurred since Minhyuk's family adopted me since I was a baby.

One scene stood out and it was the one that made me cry. It was a scene of a burning house. The woman looked very desperate to get me out. Her body was burnt in some places. Her eyes held her real emotions. Hurt, pain, desperation, determination. All in one. It was the only scene where I can see her face. It's identical to mine. The eyes, the nose, the lips. All of it. Dodo doesn't look as close to me compare to the woman. 'Mom'.

The scene

The house was burning in all directions. I was carried by the woman. The pain she held back just to get me out was slowly coming out. I can feel myself crying at the site. There was an opening, a flash of hope. She puts me down as the pai became unbearable. I look up at her to see her smiling at me as sweet as she can to cover up the pain.

Instead of carrying me, she held my hand. We quickly made our way through the opening. A door was on the end. My mother let out a sound of relief as she saw the door and started to push me. I was still crying as I saw my mother's condition. She has burns on so many parts of her body. Her body covered in ashes and sweat. I believed that we have hope of finding someone outside, but mu hope was shattered.

A sound of wood breaking was suddenly heard. Before I could react, my mother pushed me towards the door just as the ceiling came crashing down. She managed to avoid it, but became further away from the nearest exit. I shout as I saw her surroundings got engulf by the fire.

"Go! Hyungwon, go! Now! Save yourself!" She screamed through the cackling of the fire and her cough. I felt myself shook my head as tears run down my face. "Won, go! Live your life without me. Don't search for your father or brother. Don't trust them. Go to-" before she finishes her sentence, more ceiling fell and I couldn't see her anymore. "MOTHER!" I shouted as I saw her disappear. I turned to the door with heavy heart. I searched for something that I could use to open the door. I saw a piece of wet wood. I grabbed it and tried to open the door with it. Merlin was kind, so the door easily opened.

My mind was unclear after that. The only thing I could remember is that someone pulled me out. Afraid that it was Seola, I trashed and cried until I passed out. But one thing that I can remember is that the person whispered soothing things to my ear and rubbed my back. The warmth the person provided was enough for me. But something about them is very familiar. The voice. It was somewhat cold, but held warmth in them. I can't really explain it. The voice was really cold at first, but it made my heart really warm and stuff. Is it because of the fire? Did I inhale too much smoke?
