Yoohwa's POV
3:25 a.m.
That's what written on my phone when I turned it on to check what time is it already. Usually I'll go to bed early but today my eyes just can't bring myself to the dreamland early unlike usual. That's why I had been watching a few movies on the television in my room to help me getting sleepy.My parents probably had gone to bed,they always go to bed on time because they have to wake up and go to they workplace that is about 1 hour from our home.
When i'm about to find a new movie to watch suddenly all of the electricity in our house shut down, only darkness engulf around our house.
'Weird, the street light and other house electricity is still fine' I said in my heart.
Out of curiosity,I go outside of my bedroom when suddenly a person rushed upstairs and drag me back into my room and lock the door quietly. "Mom? What's happening?" My mom look at me nervously before she replied to me"I don't have time to explain to you everything that's happening right now but for now I want you to hide yourself in the closet and just wait in there and don't step out from there until it's fine.""But why?"
A dead silence.
"Someone trespass our house" that's when we hear a light footsteps climbing up the stairs slowly. "Take your phone with you. If anything happened, quickly call the police okay? Now go.""Mom,how about you?""I'll be fine" with a reassuring smile that's the last thing she said to me before she push me inside the closet and closed it.
From the hole of the closet, I can see everything happening outside but it's not very clear because it's already midnight and the only light that can help me see everything right now is from the street light that flashed a little through my room window.I can see my mom laid on the bed pretending to be asleep, soon after that I heard my room being kicked open and I kind of see a person probably wearing all black because I can't see the person clearly in the dark.
I tried my best to figure out what's happening right now.The person right now are standing at the side of my bed facing my mom's back. That's the only thing that I can see before I heard a loud gunshot rung that break the silence that engulf around our neighborhood.
I'm froze.
I tried to look over my mom but the scene in front of my eyes are too painful for me because I can see my mom face full of pain tried her best to keep her eyes open before she look at me and mouthing her last word.
'Yoohwa,I'm sorry'
