Breaking Down the Walls
Myungsoo lived alone with his widowed mother, who disliked staying in one place for too long. She kept Myungsoo close to her and Myungsoo only. When Myungsoo was only a little boy, he asked his mother why she didnt have any friends. His childish mind found it sad that his mother was lonely. “I only need you. Youre my only family. Mommy loves you and only you, ok?” She said.Myungsoo never saw his mother as a threat to his life. The people around him thought otherwise.“Myungsoo, be careful when you’re with you mother ok?” They would say. “She’s different.”He didnt understand what they were saying. His mother was normal, wasnt she? Hed yell at the strangers to stop being so mean and run away from them. He stayed home more often, having his mother call in sick. She didnt mind. She never nagged him to go to school. Simply holding him close to her, whispering loving words.Myungsoo grew to hate connecting with people as he grew older. He hated it, despised it, loathed it after the 4th move of their home. The friends he made, the people he became close with, were forcefully cut from his life. For many nights, Myungsoo would beg his mother to stay in one place to live happily ever after in but she never listened."Im doing this for you." Shed say.Myungsoo would only hold in his tears and go to his room to sleep after another failed night.So Myungsoo, at the mere age of 8, came to the conclusion of not making any friends, of not communicating.Its for the best. I wont get hurt anymore. I dont have to cry anymore. He repeated these countless times to himself, driving it into his head. He let himself fall deeper into the very pit he created."Such a young handsome boy. Its a pity that he doesnt talk.""Dont talk to him sweetie. His mother is a witch!""I heard that if he stares at you for more than 5 seconds, hell turn you into Ice with his cold stare!"Myungsoo didnt mind being alone. He created a sturdy wall surrounding his weak heart and stood guard, making sure no one was to pass. A castle that protected his heart from harm.Even though Myungsoo barricaded his heart, the feeling of loneliness always managed to slither in through the cracks in the wall. "Anyone can be alone but no one can endure it." Foreword"Ehhh?!?! Youre leaving already?" The older males face dropped at the news.Hesitantly, Myungsoo nodded."Will you ever come back?" Myungsoo can see the tears welling up in the boys eyes. "Will I ever get to see you again??"Myungsoo looks at the ground and kicks at it uncomfortably. "I dont know." He whispers.The older males eyes widen, tears streaming down now. "You promised that wed go see the fireworks together and light a paper lantern into the air and..."Myungsoos lips tremble, tears threatening to spill over. "I have to go."Just as Myungsoo turns to leave, a hand clutches his arm. Myungsoo turns his head to see the boys face, red from crying.The boy breathes in his snot loudly and looks at Myungsoo with a pathetic expression but says in determination."Ill wait for you." Myungsoo wakes up with a start, his body coated in perspiration. His breathing is fast. Annoyed by how a stupid dream managed to make him this way, he groaned and kicked the blanket to the floor.The more Myungsoo thought of it, the more he forgot. Was it a dream? Or was it a memory? The second option was possible for the dream took place in his younger years. It must’ve been a fragment of his imagination he concluded.Myungsoo stretched out his arms and legs, the cracking of the bones audible. The sun pouring down from his windows blinded him momentarily when he opened the curtains. Myungsoo swung open the window and smiled widely as the wind hit his face.Myungsoo took in a satisfied breath and grinned. It was a perfect day to do nothing but sleep and eat.A knock on the door took him back to reality. “Myungsoo, are you awake? You have school today!”Today’s plans of relaxation have been cancelled. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Haha, tadah~!
