Minhos Memory flashback
I had been crying for hours, but my legs were tired from running that I sat down under a big oak tree at the park.
I hugged my knees close to me, burying my face and continued to cry like any 5 year old would.

(are you alright)? Why are you crying?
I look up too a boy about my age but a bit younger sitting across from me, head tilted and eyes filled with worry.
I wiped my tears and annoyingly answered "i wasnt crying!"

Anyo? Ahh, mian-ah he smiled.
Anyways im taemin, lee taemin, so lets be friends. Smiling brightly he extended his hand.

I pushed his hand away and got up, "i dont need friends" I bitterly reply and ran back home.

Although the next day I was a bit lonely, so I walked back to the park to the oak tree, and sure enough under the tree sat taeminnie.

I was going to walk away when I stepped on a twig *snap* he swiftly turned around and spotted me.
Hey, so you did come back.
Scared I replied a-anni im just walking home and I left.
The next day was the same thing. I was scared of making a friend that might leave me later on, but after a week of this, I stayed a little longer each day before going home.

Soon, without realizing it, I had made my first real friend and it was a routine to always meet him at the park to play, which would later turn into a long friendship.

But little did I know this cheeky, smiling child had just of a hard, dark past that I did.

before his appa because head of polices of all of korea, the generations before him where all gang and mafia related.
His (grandfather) was head of the most known but dangerous mafia.

being in his family he was already being taught martial arts at a young age, yet that didnt mean his family took training lightly with him being small and all.

But even all that training couldnt prepare him for what he was about to face.

Taeminnie, lost both his omma and (older sister) in a gang-related war outbreak.

His appa swore never to live that life like planned so instead he put his skills and knowledge to the police force.

Taeminnie, to the world is bright, happy and always smiling, he does this to show no saddens or hurt his experience, but behind a closed door, wheres he's by himself, he cries and releases the pain and hurt that never went away or healed.
He is worried and caring for others because of his own painful past.
he is strong, but like any other person he too has his limits.
to be continue...
