There are many factors involved when making child custody decisions. When determining the home in which to place the child, the court strives to reach a decision in "the best interests of the child." Judges typically focus on the viewpoint from the child as opposed to what the parents want. Speaking of viewpoint Asher the five year old young master didn't like this at all .He wanted all of them ,the four of them to stay together and be a one big happy family .
He didn't like the fact that his father wanted to take him and his sister away from their mother and vice versa .Its common that children ages of five or under be awarded to the biological mother after a divorce but Ye-Jun Asher's father wasn't having any of that .He wanted all his kids with him and not some slut who decided to cheat on him the moment he goes on a trip abroad and then conceal the bastard a result of her adultery for two good years .Two good years!
Trust is a foundation that takes two to build .A relationship without trust becomes pointless and doesn't last long,it crumbles right in front of you .That's how the Lee couple ended up separated .Their foundation of trust wasn't strong enough to make their relationship last an eternity as they promised each other .
The moment he saw those headlines that year he didn't even listen to his other half's explanation and labeled them as excuses .The results of him being a hot head is what we have now them divorced and each taking a child with them .Asher with his dad and Ara with his mom .He never even stopped to think once if it was just a misunderstanding .His ego wouldn't let him.
That's how the story of Asher running away from home a couple of times came to surface .A child can't leave without his mother ,Asher couldn't leave without his mother.He felt as if a huge part of his life was missing .Everyday when he went to school he could see other kids being dropped off to school by their parents ,holding hands but he had a driver who did that .His father was busy with work while his mother and sister were God only knows where .
He felt jealous and sad at the same time .Why couldn't he be like other kids? Why couldn't his family stay together? Why can't he have both his parents to hold his hands? He just wanted to do what other kids did with their families but no he couldn't have that .
On his tenth and eleventh birthday he run away to his mom ,with the help of his driver.The old man had seen how terrible and lonely his young master's life had been. Eating alone on that huge dining table when his father wasn't around .When he had nightmares there was no one to coax him till he went back to sleep . No one was there to help him with his homework although sometimes his dad would if he was around .
Staying with his mom and sister and new brother for a whole day celebrating his birthday with them brought so much joy .For the first time he didn't feel lonely .Those were one of his sweetest memories as he got to be with his family and be like a normal kid even if it was just for a few hours . He won't forget those days but he would also never forget his punishments when his father found out .His father was extremely furious ,he didn't want his son to be influenced with that slut of a mother ,he even at some point believed that the mother managed to manipulate Asher to run away from him .
It begun with the grounding ,the no electronics rule and then boom he had to stay with his merciless strict uncle .
What better punishment could he get other than staying with his uncle ? Who was as fierce as they could be .His uncle was callous ,one of a kind ,he made his life a miserable one ,that's if he did something wrong.Like being late for curfew but all and all he was 'sweet' and 'kind' .Pfft just kidding those two words didn't belong to his dictionary at all he was strict ,very strict .
That's how his genius of an uncle with his twisted brain made his son plant a tracker on his nephew .
Asher together with his cousin finally arrived home .It was a long ride for Dae-Jung since Asher had swore that he wouldn't shut up till his cousin revealed to him where the tracker was .He even tried threatening him .All his efforts were as futile as searching for a black dog in pitch darkness .Dae-Jung was smart enough not to fall for any of Asher's trick.Who would be stupid enough to involve himself with a goner? Wouldn't he just be getting himself into trouble if he helped Asher out?
He loved his cousin but not to the extent of getting himself into trouble just because of him.He got out of the car and headed straight to his room ignoring his father and locked it .He had had enough of Asher for a whole straight thirty minutes and needed some rest .
Asher walked in only to find his uncle waiting for him .He was not old not normal and was once in the army and loved playing video games .No one could blame him they were just fun .His uncle Ji-ho put his phone on the beside table near the couch and looked up to Asher who stood still at the door .Frozen in spot .Asher gulped under the intense gaze that his uncle gave him which sent shivers down in spine .It was as if his uncle was slaughtering him right there with just his gaze .
'This kid is too stray for his own good ,'thought his uncle as he took his phone after boring holes on Asher's face and walked away .Asher heaved a huge sigh of relief as he headed to his room too .He thought that he had escaped punishment ,that God had heard his prayers and answered him .
If only he knew how much wrong he was he couldn't even have slept a wink that night preparing for the next morning .
