False Spring, Winters Return

~New original work~
Rhen Song had a wonderful start to his life as he seemed to inherit the best of his parents good looks and while his beautiful mother doted on him she didn't let him grow spoiled,
While his father opened up opportunities for them and their family he never neglected to spend time with Rhen.

However at the age of 8 Rhen's life changed drastically as he lost his parents in an accident while they were away on a business trip,
He was supposed to go along but after he ended up fighting with other kids it was decided that he would stay home as a punishment.

Since then Rhen became quiet and withdrawn while he was passed around by his aunts and uncles who hoped to get something from his inheritance,
Finally on his 14th birthday his aunt and uncle decided it was time to give him their biggest gift,

Permission to live alone.

Signing the papers and finishing the procedures it was the last time either one bothered to admit they were related.

Now, On his 16th birthday, Rhen wonders what if he wasn't held down by his family? What if he had the chance to be free and grow? And perhaps he was given the chance on a cold and rainy night.
