The rain poured down on the dark streets of Hankang city. The alleys were scary as always,dogs barking, People chattering, females having fun, Which they were either drunk and were asking for it or they were just doing it because they were forced to.
No one cared either,they noticed but didn't give a damn. There also days when people were selling drugs.
In my opinion, people would do anything for money, to be honest I would too..., Because I was born poor, born by a beautiful lady, but I didn't have a dad though.
I guess he was too scared to have a kid, Or how most people say "he wasn't prepared yet" But for me this was just an act to prove that he was a real coward.
My mom later then found a guy. He didn't really look like much, but mom tought he will have a heart because of that. Later on,She realised she was completely wrong.
She always got beat up by him while I had to watch these tragic incidents. I was always crying when she got hit or tortured by that bastard. I was crying hopelessly because I couldn't do anything...I always felt remorse
I didn't hate her because she made this choice, I knew that she was trying her best to make my life better than hers,to give me everything...things she never had.
I loved my mom. I remember when I was around 6 or 7, I saw my mom getting beat up by my so said dad. But this time was different, that guy started to get the taste of having more power than the weak ones.
He started to be more brutal, he even left her a scar on her neck.
A cut,I saw him scratching my mom's neck. And blood was dripping down, I started to lose hope, I knew that we will live like this forever if I wouldn't take action. I saw her crying everyday, That son of a bitch left us to hook up with another escort,these type of things happened more often.
I hated that guy so much. I also hated myself. Because I couldn't protect her at all. My mom was always hugging me and she always told me that everything will be alright.
I was always kissing my mom on the cheek,hugging her back,Crying along with her. "I will protect you mom, I promise. I will make your life better" But in the end, I failed. I couldn't keep the promise.
One day my dad got home with two of his minions. My mom was aware of what will happen,so she grabbed me gently, hugged me tighter than usual.
That hug was really warm,but I felt her heart beats going really fast so I was starting to get worried. I was dumb back then...Well I still am but anyway. I didn't understant what was happening at that moment.
My mom kissed me on the cheek,as she kissed my cheek I felt her tears falling down. I was confused...
My mom then told me to go outside and play a little,as I was still confused I did that. I went outside but as soon as I closed the door I heard screams.
I looked through the window, and what I saw next made me completely shattered. My mom,my mom got stabbed by that fucking bastard. I remember that I quickly grabbed a rock,a rock...
I opened the door and the next thing I was thinking of was killing those bastards. I ran towards one of that bastards minions and smashed the rock on his head.
I was traumatized, I was just 7 and the things that happened that day changed my mental health completely. As I smashed that guys head,he fell down. Blood came out of his head,I quickly grabbed his gun and shot my dad in the leg.
As I did that i got put into a handlock by the other minion. With no hesitation, I bit that guy's hand, I didn't care that he was bleeding. The only thing I cared about was saving my mom.
As that guy released the lock I ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. I remember that both my dad and his minion were cursing while they were bearing the pain.
The other guy was down cold, softie. As I grabbed the knife, I raw towards the minion and stabbed him. I stabbed him in the heart because back then ,I didn't know any vital spots or about the solar plexus.
All I knew is that the heart was the only vital spot,as that guy's heart was bleeding. I ran towards my dad to kill him, but he quickly pointed the gun at me.
I was scared, really. As he prepared to shoot,my mom grabbed his leg. He then kicked her in the chest and made her back off. Even if he did that, he let his guard down.
As I got that opportunity, I stabbed him multiple times,everywhere. A even took the gun and shot him multiple times. As I finished my job.
I went to my mom and quickly hugged her,telling that everthing will be alright. While I was killing those guys she was losing blood. A lot of blood..., She then started to say some weird things like "Please be alright sweetie" or "Remember when I made you your birthday cake when you turned 5?" She was telling me memories of us.
She slowly started to weaken her voice,slowly stopped talking. That's when I knew that she died.
I cried,and cried,and cried until I couldn't breathe. I even passed out. The next thing I remember before I passed out I heard a voice,it was a kid. The kid said that he called an ambulance and told me that everything will be alright.
And that's how I met Riku Saito.
