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...
Darkness enveloped the house since the electricity had gone and there was a complete blackout . Taehyun wobbled nervously and rummaged through his drawers to grab a torchlight . There were no signs of the boy and Taehyun knew very well that he will not leave at any cost before bidding him farewell se he decided to follow him downstairs . He raised to his feet and climbed down the stairs and searched for the boy everywhere from living room , to kitchen and even in the bathroom but all in vain .
Just as he was about to give up his eyes landed on the closed mahogany door to his father's room and he felt a magnetic pull towards it . He had a gut feeling that he should at last Chech there once . So he sauntered towards the door and with trembling hands clutched the cold doorknob a stark contrast to his warm sweaty hand . His mother always instructed him to stay away from this room especially after midnight but today curiosity took the better of him . He inhaled a deep breath , chanting to himself that everything will be fine and flashes the door open only to be greeted with a heartbreaking scene ahead .
His father was hovering on top of the boy sucking his neck and jaw animalistically as the boy struggled below him . His desperate cries of help and pleads echoed throughout the house and his face was soaked with tears cascading down his angelic face . His father had pinned the boys hands tightly above him and his teeth pierced through the boy's skin hardky enough to draw out blood . Taehyun saw his father grabbing a shattered piece of his discarded beer bottle from the floor as he turned the boy so he laid flat on his stomach and with an evil smirk scratched the pointed edge of glass against the boy's back who shouted painfully in response but that sound was a music to his father's ear because he continued repeating the whole procedure until the boy's whole back was covered with red crimson lines . Blood splattered out from the wounds staining the boy's tattered shirt scarlet while Taehyun's father licked a long trail from the base of his neck to the boy's ear and nibbled the soft flesh hardly earning a sharp groan from the boy .
Taehyun gnawed horrifyingly at them and in the perfect timing the boy tilted his head towards him to meet his tears stained ash eyes with the other's brown ones . Taehyun gazed at those beautiful sikvery eyes puffed and glistening with tears of pain and he did n't realised when his eyes watered with fresh tears too , his mind solely focused on the boy who with pleading eyes mumbled , " Save me ....." His father stared confusingly at the boy before he followed his gaze and his eyes glinted with mischeviousness on seeing his son standing at the doorway . " Oh Taehyun you were there too . I never saw you , otherwise I would have invited you in the little game along with your pretty friend . But it's never too late you know . "
Taehyun watched in terror as his father advanced towards him with an evil smirk playing on his lips showing his intentions clearly . Taehyun wanted to move but he was unfortunately frozen at his place only seeing his father coming closer and closer and just when he was a mere inch away , Taehyun heard the boy shouting , " Taehyun ....run away !!! " Taehyun could only register his father's eyes popping out from the sockets and blood dripping down from behind his neck before he collapsed on the floor . His legs worked automatically afterwards , forcing him to run out of the house but even in that chaos Taehyun turned behind one last time and the last thing he saw was the boy slumped on the floor beside his father's corpse with a glass shred in his hand .
Taehyun hid behind the cheery blossom tree in his backyard and hunched to the ground and cried his eyes out when the events of the night came rushing down upon him . Now for d he realised why his mother used to lock his door everynight , where do those bone - chilling screams and those bruises on his mother's face come from any why he was always told to stay away from that room where his father commited his hideous activities almost every day and today he got himself a new prey . Taehyun could not help blaming himself for everything , he wanted to believe that this was a nightmare and he wished he could forget the boy forever . Just then he heard the blaring sirens of police's cars and red-blue lights shining at a distance . He nervously peeped his head and saw some officers marching inside and his heartbeat halted when he saw those officers taking the boy with him who looked miserable as ever , his torn clothes were drenched in blood as the officers took him with them in the car . That was the last time he saw the boy .
There was a body covered in white sheet now stained red from blood and Taehyun shuddered at the though of it being his mother . Little did he knew that the corpse was of his dead father who will haunt his nightmares for next of his life. He spent the night under the tree and woke up next day to find his grandfather and an officer outside his house . His grandfather was calling out his name while frantically searching for him . Taehyun sprinted towards his grandpa and jumped in his arms sobbing loudly as he embraced him in a warm hug and stroked his hair gently numbering sweet words in his ears . His grandfather almost came immediately after the incident to take Taehyun to Seoul for starting a new life . Police officer took his grandpa aside for a minute and advised him , " The boy is too young to suffer from such a trauma . It would be better if you can make him forget whatever happened . Shower him with love and beautiful memories . " The grandfather nodded his head and glimpsed at Taehyun sleeping peacefully in train's compartment his mind filled with the bright smile and joviliant laughter of the boy whose life he unintentionally ruined .
2020 :
Memories of the past flooded his mind breaking Taehyun down . Guilt and sorrow suffocated him into its dark pits when Taehyun remembered that Beomgyu was the same boy all along who suffered in his dream ....not him . He heard thumping of someone's footsteps coming closer and kneeling beside him but he could careless . Seokjin wordlessly handed over a file to Taehyun who grasped it weak handedly . On top on the file was written in bold letters , " Case - 31 , year : 2008 . Taehyun fiddled with the pages until he opened the first one and read ,
"The victim was sexually harassed and raped on 1st December,2008 by Mr. Kang and in his defence the victim stabbed the other who died on spot . The authorities have decided that they will not be arresting the victim as he was underage and murdered Mr. Kang in self-defense . The victim seemed to be in a huge trauma and is suspected to be suffering from PTSD ( Past traumatic stress disorder ). He committed a sucide attempt and had a major panic attack . In this context authorities have decided to transfer the patient to Daegu Mental Faculty . There is no information about victim's guardians so Officer Kim Namjoon will be incharge for admitting him to the institution . "
Taehyun sucked in a sharp breath and choked a sob as read the file but the file slipped from his trembling hands only when he registered the last few words of the page and those were .....
"Victim's name : Choi Beomgyu "
