It has been two years since he found out that he has seven soulmates. In this two fucking years his parents lost their job. His mother became a drunkyard, and his father became abusive towards him. He worked three jobs to support them. While his life fell apart, he came to know that to escape reality, he listened to music. That was his escape. His favourite group was DCT( Dreams Came True). He didn't have a bias. For him, they were his everything. It was not about their looks that he stan them but it their personality. The way their smiles make him fell flutter. They told him to love himself and to cherish every moment. Not to care what other people say to him.
"Slut, come make breakfast for us. You better hurry if you don't want a beating. " yell his father from the kitchen. Jae hurried to the kitchen. He prepared some bacon, eggs, and sausages. Place the food on the dinner table. He stood a side and waited until they were done to wash the dishes. Washing the dishes fast and took the leftover food to his room.
Arriving in his room he played DCT music. The words that keeps him alive in this miserable world.
🎶 I'm just an ordinary boy looking for love. Stuck in the illusions of fate. Fearing my existence. Craving for love and acceptance. Feat of who I am. Realize my destiny. 🎶
Listening to his favourite song, "ordinary boy," he starts falling asleep.
