"Mark, you need to go home and sleep. Please." Donghyuck pleaded at his friend who sat next to you, exactly how you did when he was laying on the hospital bed.
It should have been him. It was all his fault.
His eyes bored into your face, the wounds were stitched up, however your face wasn't what was badly hurt.
It was all his fault.
1 rib broken. 1 fractured.
It was all his fault.
The rope had left indents on your skin, it would go away, but it was still a reminder.
It was all his fault.
Slut. It was carved onto your arm. It would stay there on your skin and he hated that.
It was all his fault.

They both sat there watching over you, watching as you breathed. But you weren't breathing for yourself, the machine did it for you. "Her Mum is coming." Hyeri informed, expressionless.
Mark knew the situation with your Mother, hearing it as you and your Aunt discussed it that day at the hospital. "She might take Areum with her."
"What?" Mark's head snapped up and shock formed on his features. "She can't. Areum is an adult now-" "She's barely alive Mark! She doesn't have a say!" "Don't say that." Mark warned, his blood turning flame like hot. His hands shook and his breaths became heavier, faster. "She's alive." He muttered to himself, his ears ringing, his head spinning. He stood up and struggled out of the door. Reaching the exit of the hospital, the cool air hit him and so did the situation.
She's barely alive.

"Hyeri."
"Unnie..." Hyeri trailed off, not knowing what emotion she was feeling. However, she stepped aside and let her sister in, followed by her nephew. "Hi Noona." He bowed slightly and Hyeri did the same.
"Hi Jungwoo."
"Is she..." Your Mum trailed off, taking in the state of you in disbelief. You were her daughter. "She's critical." Her own flesh and blood but she left you, because she was a coward. "Areum." She said for the first time in 4 years. 4 whole years.
"Baby..." She grabbed your ice cold hands, desperate to see your eyes again. "I am so sorry." She hung her head low. "I don't deserve to be called a Mother." She sobbed, the pain and torture she felt being away from you resurfacing.
"I didn't want to leave you, but I had no choice," Her voice dropped to a whisper, cracking at the end of the sentence. "He made me."

A wicked smile contorted onto his lips, walking towards the crying Woman who was clutching your teddy bear in her hands. "Please Munik, let me explain." She trembled, begging for him to listen.
"Explain what you whore? She isn't mine! I don't want you near me, I don't want her near me, she'll grow up just like you, a slut."
"I-i'll take her with me." Your Mother stammered out, standing up shakily but was pushed down again. Munik took no notice of her shaken body, wails escaping her lips. Instead of replying, he placed an earpiece into his ear and spoke the next few words with venom on his tongue.
"Park Areum, that's your next mission. Watch her silently before she turns 20, I'll advise you from there."
"No, please no. I beg you!" Your Mother was on her knees, hands joined up and pleading up at him. "Please don't, Hydra will kill her- please!"
"Hydra do as I say, and you will leave the country, alone. Never come back."
"Or I'll kill that Son of yours too."

But nothing your Mother could say could bring you back.
