Saeran(Before MC)
It was Christmas again. You’d think that ‘the everlasting party’ would actually be having a Christmas party, but that wasn’t the case. His savior said that it would be too dangerous to have them all together in one place. She said that they should just spend the time working so that someday they wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore.
Saeran couldn’t concentrate, so he decided to take a walk to clear his head. Christmas. He recalled the times when his mother would tie him up in the kitchen, but his brother would later sneak into when she passed out so he could untie him and they’d have their own mini Christmas in his room with some bread and candy that he’s been saving. He told him that they’d have a proper Christmas once they got away from that place. He pushed the memory away. Those were all lies.
A family passed him. They were heading home from somewhere, each parent, holding hands with one child. They looked so happy, just chatting in their own little world.
He’d never have that.
Saeran remembered the time his brother snuck him out, how happy he was the first time he saw the sky. Were they looking at the same sky right now?
Stop it.
He was happy, right? His savior gave him everything he needed. He was in paradise, where his savior took away all his pain. Why did he still feel so empty?
Thoughts of his brother came into his head again and he tried his best to push them away. His brother abandoned him. This was his fault. He was the reason Saeran couldn’t enjoy paradise.
He made up his mind. He’d go back and finish work so that he could plan his revenge.
Then he’d be happy, right?
