Kang Taehyun , a renowned psychiatrist , who suffers everyday from his traumatic past has been assigned to a new patient , Choi Beomgyu who is said to have severe schizophrenia . Nobody was ever successful in treating Beomgyu which is a mystery for...
Rusted door creaked open with a shrill screech but Taehyun hardly reacted , his mind was sailing on the currents of his past clashing with the present . When his eyes first landed on his house , he wordlessly leaped forward leaving Seokjin behind who somehow understood him and he was grateful for his favor because he needed to spend some time alone refreshing the old memories ( even if he did n't want to ) . The house was deserted and eerie and one could find a hard time believing that just about a few years ago humans inhabited this place . Dust soothed the window panels and ceiling while spider webs adorned each and every corner . The house was in a disheveled mess , everything left untouched and scattered on the floor .
Taehyun shivered visibly when he was met with the sight of a familiar mahogany door that haunted his dreams . He decided to leave it behind and advanced towards his own room on the second floor . The stairs shrieked under his weight as he climbed up and he spotted a white door in the corner . With trembling hands he grabbed the knob and twisted it , the door unbolted with a click and he shuffled inside . His room looked exactly like seven years before . The pastel yellow walls whose color seemed to fade with time contrasted greatly with the grey flooring . His feet brushed lightly against the carpet as he stomped further inside his eyes curiously taking in the appearance of room . The room's window was half closed letting in the cool breeze that ruffled the curtains . He still remembered vividly when he would sit close by the window and gazed stars that twinkled in the night time .
His lips curled in smile and he grazed his fingers against its smooth surface loaded with soot . His eyes averted outside the window and he was greeted with a view of a small forest with naked trees that possessed no leaves probably the result of coming winter when suddenly a very familiar dream suddenly flashed in front of his eyes .......
Yellow and brown leaves crunched under his foot as he raced through the forest , Chilling winds brushed against Taehyun's cheeks as he ran, The scarlet sky looked spectacular , He did n't realize when a broken twig looped his right foot , He crashed on top of the blanket of fallen stems and petals , A fit of giggles roared in the silent atmosphere .........coming from behind him . He turned his head frantically and saw an another boy whose hand did a poor job in covering his mouth to prevent him from laughing and his ashen eyes were curved to form crescents . " Hey why are you running . Probably your mom caught you stealing candies . " The raven haired boy exclaimed before chuckling brightly while Taehyun stood up embarrassingly dusting his clothes and hissed , " None of your business . " Taehyun dashed away after saying that but the entire time he could feel those ash eyes drilling holes into him .
Taehyun snapped his eyes open and his gaze lingered around and he realized he was in his room right now . Daydreaming was not common for Taehyun but ignoring it he rummaged into his old closet . Piles of neatly folded shirts and pants filled the closet and that was when he spotted a umbrella at the corner and he took it out while scrunching his eyebrows in confusion . His mother used to keep all the umbrellas and rain coats in the first floor so what was this one doing here . He tried thinking hard and a sudden flashback came into his mind ,
Raindrops felt like a thousand stones hitting against me , Drenched in cold water but my body felt numb , Pouring drops did an excellent job in hiding my descending tears , My body was shivering as I sat alone on the pavement , Warmth emitted from another body beside me , My breath hitched in my throat and a gasp left my lips , It should not be him .........my father ? Like a miracle there was no more drops pouring over me and I doubted whether the rain had stopped and to clarify that I raised my head only to be met with a pair of same silver eyes holding a blue umbrella over my body . I scrambled hurriedly to my legs and blurted , " You again .....What are you doing here ? " The said boy remained unfazed , steadily studying my face and he muttered , " Are you crying ? " I snapped my head to look at him wide eyed as I stuttered an unconvincing " No ..." still wondering how he figured it out . " I was just passing by when I saw you hunched alone at the side of pavement . I think you forgot your umbrella ...its fine I can give you company while you go back your home . " I gnawed foolishly as he linked his arm with mine , holding the umbrella with the other as we started walking . After sometime he asked , " I think you like rain a lot to practically soak yourself in it . "
I scowled before grumbling , " No ..... I hate it . " The boy parted his lips in confusion but remained quite till we reached my home . I was about to wordlessly skip inside when the boy mumbled , " Hey as we have now became close acquaintances can you tell me your name ? " I gazed sharply back at the boy who sheepishly fiddled with hem of his sweater and muttered, " Nevermind .....I am Beomgyu . I hope we meet again . " I scoffed internally at the thought of meeting him again but when he left only then I realized that I had a firm grip on his umbrella so I called out , " Hey your umbrella . " " Keep it ....and moreover I love the rain actually . Those were the last words I heard before that boy disappeared . "
The umbrella slipped from Taehyun's hand and the ground beneath him seemed to collapse . The images of the same boy who claim to be Beomgyu flickered before his eyes , no doubt his eyes felt so familiar when he saw him first at the faculty . He trudged out of the room mindlessly climbing down the stairs when he halted in front of mahogany door . His hands worked on their own and before he could process he was facing his father's bed . Taehyun's eyes glossed as the events of that terrible night came before him but only this time those were a little different and much more clearer ,
Dozen of beer bottles shattered to a thousand pieces on the floor , His father's creepy smile and a hint of mischievousness in his dilated pupils....... as he glared hungrily at the boy . His hovering body over the boy and roaming hands all around Him , The pride he took in biting and sucking His body like a wild beast , The boy's pleading cries and violent screams echoed throughout the room ,
Taehyun collided against the hardwood and his body shook as he sobbed loudly . He spent his entire life believing that his father had destroyed his life . But he was wrong because only this time in his nightmare he was standing near the corridor staring at the struggling boy below his father gaping at him with his glassy silver eyes .
" Save me ......" Beomgyu pleaded desperately .
