Chapter 1 - The strange boy

This is the story of a girl who sees the world a little different .

Hello , my name is eun seo. Sometimes I feel like I came into this world by mistake, because my childhood has always been a little different.

When I was born, my father had an accident,and my mother was left alone.

To give me a better life , my mother remarried. She always believed that har daughter was happy. But she often told me one thing:

"My child, I remarried only for you, so that you could stay happy and have a better future."

But the truth is, my life was never as easy as my mother believed.

Sometimes I wonder....if my real father were here with me, maybe he would have loved me very much.

Me stepfather never looked at me the way a father should look at his daughter. Whenever I was alone at home, I always felt afraid.

My grandmother never accepted me either. In her eyes, I was never truly part of the family.

And the outside world wasn't much kinder. At school, some students bullied me because I could never say anything back.

When I was little, I had a car accident. After that accident, I lost my voice. I could not longer speak.

The strangest part was that the car that caused the accident... belonged to my stepfather.

I'm always afraid that if I tell my mother the truth, my stepfather might hunt her as well. Maybe that's why I keep having terrible nightmares every night.

Sometimes it feel like I grew up before my time.

Right now, I am in my last year of high school, and after this, I will go to college.

I really like fantasy movies and comics. Sometimes I wish there was a little magic in my life... Something that could change everything.

But today , like every other day, I was simply walking to school.

On the way, something suddenly felt strange, as if today was different from the other days.

A cool breeze was blowing along the quite street. Suddenly, I noticed a boy standing in front of me. He was wearing a black coat,staring straight into my eyes without blinking.

It felt strange. I walked a little futher, but when I turned into back....

He was gone.

The boy had disappeared as if he had never been there.

The whole thing felt very strange.

As soon as I reached school, I tried to tell my closet friend soo bin what had happened.

Since I couldn't speak, I quickly used sign language, moving my hands to explain..

A boy...a black coat...staring at me.

Soo bin watched for a moment, than laughed 😅 when she understood.

"Maybe he just ran away, " she joked.

"After all ,you were staring at him too!"

I smiled slightly..... but deep inside, I still felt that boy was not an ordinary person.

And maybe...

This was the beginning of the strangest day of my life.
