Chapter 1

Sleep. Sleep is something I enjoyed the most. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn't go to sleep that day. That dark day. A day of which I thought I would forget but never did. Sometimes I think something is wrong with me. Everytime I think about it my blood boils, my skin crawls, and I start shaking. I wasn't scared, that was one thing I never felt. But I was angry. Angry at the world, at the situation, angry...............at him.

I was lying in bed waiting to get up for my flight in the morning. It was already 4:00 in the morning and I was suppose to be there at 6:30. I went ahead and got out of bed cause I knew I wasn't going to sleep any time soon. I  got up changed my clothes and fixed me some breakfast.

I was moving to Korea to start a new life. A life without my parents. It was to the point where I hated them, and I wanted them dead. They treated me like their experiment, they made me do things that I didn't want to do. They abused me, mentally and physically. I was so happy when I had moved away from them and started my own career. I decided to become a journalist. It wasn't the dream that my parents wanted for me, but it was what I wanted for myself. My parents wanted me to have a big paying job like a doctor or a lawyer. They thought a journalist was a useless job because it was a bunch of people being nosey about other people's lives. They never once asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. But I learn to ignore them cause whatever they say was never important. 

It was time for me to head to the airport. I got my packed luggage and headed out the door. I called a uber so I stood outside for about 15 minutes. The uber arrived and took me to the airport. 

It was 6:20 and they were about to call people to get on the plane. I gave the lady my ticket and got on the plane. 

As I was putting my luggage in the overhead bin, a weird guy came next to me with a bright smile on his face. I thought that his seat was next to me so I rushed a little so that he could sit down. Once I sat down, he put his luggage in the overhead bin and sat in his seat. It wasn't really next to me because the seat next to me was empty. I didn't pay too much attention to it, so I just put on headphones and went to sleep. I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the man who was sitting next to me. I took off my headphones. 

''Excuse me, can you close the window. The sun is getting in my eyes?'' I looked to my side and saw the window was open. I quickly closed the window. ''Thank you,'' he said as he went back to reading his book. I took a look at the book he was reading. 'How To Kill A Mockingbird'. The book was so basic to the point where I didn't like it anymore. People read that book so many times. I can't judge though because I never read it before. I was planning on reading it, but I hear about it so many times to the point where I don't want to read it anymore. 

''Do you read'', the guy asked. ''Yes.'' I simply answered because wondering why he would suddenly start talking to me. Maybe he saw me looking at the book he was reading.

''What's your name?'' 

''Kim Ji-Ho. Yours?''

"Sung Ho.''

I don't know why, but the man seemed very weird for me to keep a conversation with. I really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. But also I didn't wanna be the rude person, so I decided to answer his questions.

''What's your favorite book'', he asked with curious eyes. ''I don't really have a favorite book. Reading is not like an everyday thing to me.''

He only did a slowly nod then continue with reading his book. I put my headphones back on and listened to my music. Something inside of me told me that this guy was bad news. I didn't wanna believe it at first but I just had a strange feeling inside of me. Something about him just made me angry on the inside. I'm normally angry all the time so I didn't think much of it. I turned over, blasting music in my ear, and close my eyes and went to sleep.
