❕| Yang Jeongin

You and Jeongin had been friends since kindergarten, always together, but that changed when you were both 9 years old. One day, you were going to play with Jeongin in the park after school. You were in your room picking up toys before going to meet Jeongin. While you two were playing, your parents and Jeongin's parents were chatting on a bench. When Jeongin went to his backpack to get more toys, a man approached. He was your neighbor and took you away. You tried to scream, but the man covered your mouth. When Jeongin turned around, he didn't see you there and got scared. He quickly told the adults, and they started looking for you. Jeongin was so sad because you were the most important person to him. And so years and years passed, searching for you everywhere. You were in the attic of that man's house. He never let you out, and you only depended on what he gave you. The man was approximately 57 years old. Jeongin went to your parents' house every day without fail to ask about you, if there was any news, but nothing...

Twelve years after your disappearance, the man suffered a heart attack and died. You were 21 years old. You couldn't bear to stay any longer, so you did everything you could to escape. When you saw the sky after so long, your vision blurred slightly, but you tried to remember the way home, and when you arrived, you knocked on the door. A woman opened it; it was your mother. She said, "How can I help you?" she asked softly, as she hadn't recognized you after so many years, but there was a glimmer of recognition in her eyes. You said, "Don't you remember me, Mom...?" Your weak whisper was heard by your father and Jeongin, who were in the kitchen. They quickly approached and saw you, with your thin and neglected body, but they recognized you immediately.
