3rd Person's POV

"Run! Don't come back!" the woman yelled at the kids "But mom" the woman pushed her kids out of the house

"No buts! Get out of this house now! It's dangerous" the woman cried too but she wiped it off with the back of her hand "this is home nothing is dangerous to home" cried the eight year old daughter of the woman named Minso. "Just get out! You guys are gonna be fucked up if you live with me and stay with me so leave!" she pulled her kids outside and left them there sobbing.

"Doyoung-ah...gaja, eommaneun deo isang urireul saranghaji anha" (Doyoung let's go, mom doesn't love us anymore) the girl tried to stop crying and picked up their heavy bags on the ground and held his brother's arm "Aniya! Mom loves us! like she always do" he yanked her hands off but she pulled him "No! Don't you understand why she wants us to vanish in her life? Just accept the fact she don't love us Doyoung!"

"No! I will never think of that! She's just lying!"

"Let's go!" she pulls him while he tries get her hands off him until he did "No! I don't wanna be with you!" then he ran fast

"Doyoung!" she followed him, because she loves him.

The boy went lost in the dark after he ran from her sister when he heard the siren wailing towards the street where he was, he hid behind the bushes, he knows this kind of things. Watched it from TV that police will get those kids whose lost, he didn't want to, he wants to go back home.

Her sister, panicking, and worried on the other side while she saw her brother hiding but the cops saw her, she told them what happened and said that they will help her instead they put her on the backseat and brought her to the police station and said that someone will pick her up. She didn't believe them so she planned sneaking out of that hell

"Doyoung? What are you doing here?" she whispers seeing her brother sneaking in "saving you, let's go!" they ran and went to closed walls luckily its a bumpy walls where they could just climb up

"Thanks bro" they hugged each other and ran again "I think you're right, maybe mom doesn't love us anymore because if she do she will be there at the police station to save you" the younger started as they sat on the dark alley

"We need to be independent now brother, you know it's not easy to be alone without adults on our side" even though they're just kids they know how life works. Finding some boxes they used it as bed, they're not used to it but what's important is they're together

"We will fight together, yeah?" the girl asled his brother and he nods.

Month has passed they still live, luckily. They work things out, they find a solution to make thier selves full and not starving but they're getting skinny.

"Noona, I'm hungry" the younger rubbed his stomach "we just ate" said the other one, irritated "But that was seven hours ago" the kid leaned on the wall, holding his stomach

"We agreed that we will eat only two times a day, remember?" the kid didn't answer, instead pulled two folded boxes and laid himself, decided that he'll just take a nap to not think about his hunger

While asleep, the other decided to find some food.

"Hey little girl, where are your parents?" the kid saw the woman talk to her that was waiting for a bus "Gone" she shortly replied "Do you have someone with you? Or as in no one?" the girl looked at her feet "I have a brother" the woman gasped "I bet he's good looking, let me meet him" the girl got curious why does this woman want to meet his brother so she ran

"Doyoung let's go, we need to go" the boy obeyed and stands up without even brushing his shorts because of sitting on the ground her sister pulled her. They keep on running and stopped, now they're lost.

"Hey kid" someone called it's the same woman so she pulled her brother again.

How did she follow us? That's what she thought while running and frowning

They stopped again and went to an abandoned house, it was messy and cold and very dark.

"I don't think we could stay here" the younger said afraid of the dark "yes we can, just for tonight then we'll leave tomorrow morning" they found a room that has an opened lamp that made them flinch as they did not expect that the house still has electricity

The room was clean like someone has been cleaning it "I think we should stay in a different room" the girl said "Why? This room is the only the cleanest, I think someone is staying in here" they went to the next room which has a dirty mattress and some clothes on the dusty floor.

"We'll be okay soon" they laid down and went to sleep.
