Chapter 18: A Spark of Hope

Ha-young POV:
I saw a group of men dragging a guy. The boy was begging them, then they pushed him. I decided not to meddle in this matter, but I heard him cry for help. I couldn't resist; he was about to fall,
somehow I stopped him from falling. He was floating in the air, and our eyes met. He screamed, and I guess he fainted. I took him in, hoping he's okay.

He woke up and saw me. I thought he'd scream again, but he didn't. He asked me where the monster went. He just grabbed my hands and ran out of the house. We continued running; I don't know what he was running from, but something felt different when he grabbed my hands.

Hye-soo POV:

I sat beside Ha-joon, hoping for the best, and then I heard him say, "Mom." He finally opened his eyes. My Ha-joon! I cried. My son!

Joon-oh POV:

I was on duty when a girl and a guy ran past me, but something was off. The girl looked familiar. It kept me wondering.

Min-soo POV:

We stopped running; it's a good thing we've reached the city. I'm tired. I soon noticed a girl staring at me. I didn't realize I took her with me. Hmmm, are you okay? She nodded yes. I'll go now. She grabbed my hands
" but to where? You brought me here, remember" " Yah, I saved your life from that monster".
" monster? "
" Really, didn't you see it, Anyway, I'm out of here. What a weirdo"

Wait a minute, how did I survive that fall? How did I end up there? As soon as I turned back, she was gone. So weird.

Ha-young POV:

When I looked in the mirror, I was normal, and everything felt different. I roamed the streets; I don't want to go back there. I sat on a bench, I want to live here with everyone. I'm tired of staying there; I don't want to go back.

JI-YOUNG POV:

I heard Ha-joon had finally woken up, so I quickly rushed to his room. Father, he called out to me. I went to him. My son! I hugged him. You're really awake. Tears rolled down my eyes.

Ha-joon POV:

I don't know why they were crying. I can't recall what happened. I just went with the flow.

Tae-Oh POV:

I was worried; I've tried calling Min-soo several times, but he didn't pick up his call. I heard about what happened to his mom; "I hope he's okay. Then I heard Ki-Hyun call out his name. I quickly rushed there.
"Min-soo, are you okay?"
" We're sorry; we would have come to see you, but we're  scared of the police.
" It's fine; I'm okay now. But your mom... He started crying, and we joined him. Min-soo, don't cry. We are here for you. Min-soo, don't cry. I could feel his pain.
