Fingers wrapped around the handle of his briefcase, he dragged it behind him towards the exit. A big smile was plastered on his face, his headset rested around his neck, adjusting his shades he walked out the door and stopped. He let out a long breath and smiled widely.

"Korea, I'm back!!" He exclaimed and did a little victory dance.

The people around him chuckled at his cuteness, once again grabbing the handle of his briefcase he immediately walked forward.

Suddenly two bulky men wearing black suits stood infront of him making him stop on his tracks, he arched an eyebrow and looked up at them.

"Hey boy, where do you think you are going?" A voice spoke behind him making him turn around, adjusting his shades he checked out the man from head to toe.

"Home" he muttered and glanced side ways at the other men who surrounded him. He examined the men around him, he didn't recognize any of them; which clearly means he is in danger.

"We can take you home, Going all alone can bring harm to you" the man who had spoke before spoke up making him smirk.

"Oh great, a free ride right?" He asked smiling and the others nodded smiling.

"who do you work for?" He asked now his smile gone and the others stopped smiling. "A cult? Is that why you guys are standing in a circle? Doing those weird stuff" he shook his hand in a weird way and chuckled.

"Stop playing around Kid, Let's go before it's late" the man gripped his hand and he pulled away.

"Dude, don't grab my dress like that. This is the most expensive hoodie made by Gucci, and I personally asked for this design" he dusted his sleeve and glared at the man. Scoffing the man grabbed his hoodie and started pulling him backwards towards their car.

His hands raised as he held onto the mans wrist, he twisted the mans hand while turning around, then flipped the man over his shoulder slamming him face first on the ground.

The mans teeth cracked as his face slammed hard on the ground, the boys strength shooked all of them.

"Do you know who I am? I'm Witch's one and only son b*tch" He jumped high and kicked on the chest and punched one on the face then landed perfectly on the ground, removing his headset he smashed it on anothers face breaking his teeth in the process.

"This is fun, been so long since I fought" he shook his hands and smiled, his eyes widened when the person who was the leader in his opinion came running towards him, he crouched dodging his attack and then kicked the man leg. Grabbing a pebble on the ground he slammed it on the mans head so hard that it pierced through the flesh on his face.

Suddenly gun shots were heard and he ducked his head, he raised his head and looked at the men who were running towards him. A smile tugged on his face when he saw a familiar face "Uncle Matt!" He exclaimed and stood up "I did everything all alone!"

"Kiddo!! Are you okay?" Matt asked holding his shoulder and checking for injuries.

"Yeah, You should ask them if they are doing good" he said and scrunched his face looking at the mess he made "What do you think? Mama would be happy or furious?" He asked and looked at Matt who looked frustrated as well.

"Furious, cause you didn't inform her about your arrival" Matt muttered and grabbed his brief case. "My people would clean the mess up, Now c'mon let's get you home" Matt wrapped his hand around the boys shoulder and walked towards his car with him.

"C'mon Baekhyun, we have to leave before the cops sees us"

"Wait I thought the cops worked under Mama" Baekhyun muttered as he got in the front seat beside the drivers seat.

"No, only some works under her. Not the whole department. The S.I.S is searching for her actually" Matt said and sat on the drivers seat, buckling up he immediately turned on the engine and drove off he airport.

"Is mama doing okay?" Baekhyun asked and Matt sighed.

"You came at the wrong time Baek, Mama is actually Hospitalized right now" Matt softly muttered making Baekhyun's heart drop.

"What's wrong?" Baekhyun asked in worry, his mother never had ever entered a hospital. She despised those places, he knew it very well. If she is hospitalized that means her condition must be critical.

"She got attacked yesterday, trying to protect someone else" Matt's Jaws clenched when thinking about the Kim.

"But don't worry, she is okay now although the injury is a bit deep" Matt said and smiled at Baekhyun who had concern laced all over his face.

"Are we going near mama?" Baekhyun asked his eyes tearing up "I wanna meet her, where she stays is the place I call home" Baekhyun muttered and Matt heart clenched at the boys words.

"Are you sure you wanna see her? Cause- I can't, I just won't be able to look at her. I'm, I'm not that strong" Matt swallowed the lump in his throat and sucked in his tears.

He wasn't ready to see Angel like that, he feared to see her like that.

"I want to"

--•☆•--

Matt dropped Baekhyun at the hospital and drove away with a heavy heart. Baekhyun's hands trembled as he walked into the hospital, there were guards placed all around the premises.

His heart rammed in his chest as he walked towards the elevator, Matt had told him the room number. He just have to go there.

Pressing the button of the elevator he stood there for a while, "Baekh?" Someone spoke behind him making him turn around. His eyes lit looking at the person.

"Hyun-Jin" Baekhyun said and smiled, Hyun-Jin wrapped his hand around the boys shoulder and waited for the elevator.

"You're here to see your mom?" Hyun-Jin asked and Baekhyun nodded. "How did you get here?"

"I informed Matt before coming to Korea, he dropped me here" Baekhyun muttered as Hyun-Jin hummed. The door of the elevator opened and the two entered.

"You sure you can see her?" Hyun-Jin asked making Baekhyun sigh.

"Is it that bad?" He asked and Hyun-Jin nodded. "I want to take care of her, Like she did to me years ago" Baekhyun muttered making Hyun-Jin smile and nod.

"She hasn't woken up for a whole day" Hyun-Jin said as they walked out the elevator once the doors opened.

"What really happened?" Baekhyun asked as he watched Hyun-Jin open the door of Witch' room.

"A sword cut, pretty deep" Hyun-Jin said softly, Baekhyun's eyes widened as he walked into the room, his heart dropped looking at his mother who looked absolutely dead. Tubes fixing all around her with machines.

He took small steps towards her.

He slowly held her hand in his and caressed it, she looked beautiful like she always did. He sat at the edge of the bed and sniffled, tears already trickling down his eyes

"mama" he whispered at her and then sniffled again. Hyun-Jin patted the boys shoulder and left the boy alone. Baekhyun placed a soft kiss on her hand and caressed her hand.

"I'm back" Baekhyun muttered painfully "I'm still angry at you for sending me to Canada three years ago but, get well soon so I could spend my time with you now" Baekhyun placed another kiss on her hand.

--•☆•--

He has been in the frozen room for Many hours now, his hair frozen his skin cold as ice, his breath came out as white air. His bones ached his head pained.

His tears had now turned into ice, he couldn't blink anymore.

He was Afraid, he was Tired.

He has been in the research lab since he was born, they would test various chemicals on him like he was a lab rat.

To be honest he felt bad for the Lab rats cause he knew how they felt,

Vulnerable.

Humans were Monsters. He was taught that he had no life. He was said that he will be here forever, until he won't be able to bear the pain.

Until he meets death.

He accepted his fate, pain was meant to be by him.

He couldn't even move when he heard the door burst open, he was already freezing. Already turning into ice. He heard someone walking towards him, and finally he slowly looked up.

There stood the most beautiful lady standing before his eyes, his eyes teared up. The tears turned into ice.

The woman crouched beside him and quickly carried him "I will save you darling" his saviour muttered, her voice made him smile.

His heart warmed up, the void in his heart filled up within seconds. His twelve years old self was saved by this unknown woman.

His saviour,

His Life,

His Heartbeat.
