Hyeokjin

[Setting: Fictional Korea, Modern Day]

Kwon Hyukjin stared blankly out the window.
Three months. It had already been that long since he came to this house. Hyukjin still couldn't believe the situation.

"Hyukjin, come down for dinner."

A warm voice called from downstairs. Hyukjin unconsciously frowned, but at the same time, a corner of his heart ached.

Adopted into a new home, he looked around his room. Things that were still unpacked, or rather, things he hadn't unpacked. Hyukjin hadn't unpacked everything, ready to leave at any moment. He glanced at them with indifferent eyes for a moment before standing up.

'I'll just be abandoned again, anyway.'

Hyukjin smiled emptily, thinking such thoughts. Abandoned on the street after his real 'mother' took his hand and adopted by his current stepmother, Hyukjin muttered softly.

"I'm alone. I always have been, and I always will be."
