Little Park Jinyoung was almost never home

It was better this way, he wouldn't make his father angry or become his personal punching bag.

Instead, Jinyoungs place of refuge was an abandoned park near a lake. It was a lonely park with a broken swing set, only one of the swings was a surviver and a small play set with a slide but it was still Jinyoungs favorite place in the world. He shared his place with only one other soul, a boy named Im Jaebum.

Jaebum was older than little Jinyoung by 2 years making him 7 years old. He knew about jinyoungs home life and always resented the boys father.

|| one day at the park ||

The little five year old Jinyoung was swinging on the creaking swing when Jaebum came to him and suddenly held the swing until it stopped. He had a sad look on his face and that made the little boy worried.

Jinyoung grabbed Jaebums cheeks squishing them together

"Bummie what's wrong"

Jaebum pulled Jinyoungs hands away and looked into the younger boys eyes

"My father. He said that we're... we're moving away"

Jinyoung was confused

"Moving away?"

But that wasn't all, Jaebum had more news that he himself didn't understand.

"My father told me to tell you to tell your dad that his time is almost up"

"Bummie I don't get it, you aren't gonna leave me...you won't leave me right?"

But it was too late, the older boy was gone.
