First Steps [ON HOLD]

A Knock

A single cry. Then a flood gate of raindrops opens up from the heavens as a tiny baby wails a river of tears, her family fast forgotten.

FLASH! The Earth grumbles and so does Seonghwa as he hears a knock on the front door. What could it possibly be at this hour? Hongjoong looks up and shrugs before meandering off to their room to get some sleep.

This had been the fourth day in a row of almost constant thunderstorms and unexciting meetings at the company. All Seonghwa wanted was to take a shower and go to bed but he found himself farther and farther away from that possibility as he tiptoed towards the door.

Peering out the hole, Seonghwa didn't see a single person. He silently turned around and was about to meander back towards his cozy bed when he heard a soft whimper coming from the other side of the door. Slowly, he turned back and unlocked the latch. Swinging the door open, Seonghwa looked at a tiny baby wrapped in a pastel green blanket, holding a duckling stuffed animal and an envelope.

"Joong-ah? I think you should come here!"

Seonghwa heard light footsteps coming down the hallway and around the corner.

"What Hwa? I was about to go to bed." He peered curiously when he noticed that the taller boy wasn't looking at him. What was he staring at?

Hongjoong walked up just behind Seonghwa and looked over his shoulder.

Thunder boomed and the child screamed, opening its eyes to meet eights sets staring right back.
