Hanbin's appearance was gaunt and emaciated as he lay in the hospital bed, a result of severe malnutrition.
His skin was stretched tight over his bones, and his eyes were sunken and dull. The medical staff bustled around him, trying to replenish the nutrients his body desperately needed.
Despite their efforts, it was evident that Hanbin had suffered greatly from his prolonged lack of proper nourishment.
Hanbin spent a month in the hospital, his frail and weakened body slowly recovering. During this time, the police conducted a search for his father, but Hanbin knew in his heart that he had no family other than his mother.
Despite the officers' efforts, Hanbin remained distant and detached, lost in his own thoughts and memories. The sterile hospital room became his entire world as he lay in the bed, his mind grappling with the harsh reality of being alone in the world.
As the police were unable to locate Hanbin's father, they made the difficult decision to place him in an orphanage.
The staff at the orphanage did their best to provide him with a supportive and nurturing environment, but Hanbin struggled to adjust to his new life.
After gaining weight and receiving proper nutrition, Hanbin underwent a transformation.
His once gaunt and emaciated appearance was replaced by a more rounded and healthy one, and his features became more defined.
With his dark hair and light brown eyes, he was considered cute and pretty by those around him, especially due to his beauty mark just below his left eye.
The orphanage, housing around 60 children, had neither a particularly positive nor negative reputation; despite the crowded conditions in which Hanbin was forced to sleep with 10 other children in a single room, he at least had food to eat, but sometimes he felt like the staff members were a little too friendly and he especially disliked it when one of the women touched his buttons and made him uncomfortable.
The head of the orphanage repeatedly touched him in an inappropriate manner, causing hanbin to feel uncomfortable and eventually leading him to ask the head to stop, but as a result of speaking out.
Lee hanbin was subjected to a cruel punishment of being deprived of food for two consecutive days and being locked up in his room without any means of leaving, further amplifying the already difficult circumstances he was facing as a resident of the orphanage.
As time passed, two whole years went by and lee hanbin was faced with a harsh reality; either he silently endure the unjust treatment meted out by the head of the orphanage or be subjected to punishment.
This was a difficult decision for the child to make as he was constantly torn between speaking out against the mistreatment and facing the consequences, or remaining quiet and suffering in silence.
One day, while Hanbin was sleeping, he suddenly felt a strange sensation of something touching his legs, and before he could even react, he was abruptly taken to another room where he was surrounded by a group of elderly individuals. That day, Hanbin's innocence was shattered and he was left with a feeling of distrust and trauma.
During this traumatic experience, Hanbin was subjected to sexual assault by both older men and women, despite repeatedly saying "no" and expressing his discomfort.
However, his pleas fell on deaf ears and the perpetrators persisted in their abusive actions, disregarding Hanbin's distress and violating his bodily autonomy.
This traumatic experience left a profound impact on Hanbin and he was left feeling helpless, violated, and traumatized.
Desperate for justice, Hanbin sought help from the police, hoping they would listen to his story and bring an end to the abuse he suffered. However, to his immense disappointment, the police were bribed by the orphanage and refused to take any action to help him.
The experience was deeply traumatizing and further compounded his already difficult circumstances, leaving him feeling helpless and alone.
The corruption and disregard for his suffering only added to the trauma he had already experienced and made him feel as though he had nowhere to turn for help.
After realizing that the police would not help him, Hanbin was overcome with emotions. He broke down in tears, feeling overwhelmed by the injustice and the abuse he had suffered.
The pain, fear, and trauma he had experienced finally caught up with him, and he was unable to contain his emotions any longer. He cried uncontrollably, feeling hopeless and helpless.
The weight of his experiences was heavy, and it seemed as though there was no escape from the suffering. In that moment, he felt as though all the suffering and trauma was too much to bear, and he was consumed by a sense of utter despair.
However, at that moment, Hanbin's demeanor underwent a profound transformation. His eyes, which were previously filled with sadness and despair, hardened and turned cold, reflecting his inner resolve and determination.
He stood up, wiped away his tears, and made his way back to the orphanage, fueled by a newfound sense of purpose.
Hanbin made a vow to himself to seek justice for the injustices he had suffered, and to make those who wronged him pay for their actions.
He was no longer going to be a victim, but a survivor who fought back. This moment marked a turning point in Hanbin's life, as his true nature came to the forefront, revealing a resilience and determination that belied his young age.
He vowed to never again put his trust in the hands of others, as he realized the harsh realities of the world and the importance of relying on oneself for strength and protection.
