Chapter 5: Doyoung's Past

Trigger Warning: domestic violence

/Doyoung's Past/ 

"Doyoung, did you transfer all the money to the account," a deep voice demanded. A small boy was behind the 4 computer screens, his fingers moving fast.

"Yes father."

"Good," the man said as he patted Doyoung on the head as he exited the dark room that was only lit up by the 4 computer monitors.

Doyoung was a genius hacker from the beginning. When he was young, he randomly came across a book about binary numbers, Javascript, Python and other coding programs and instantly clicked in his brain. His father had picked up on this insane skills and sent him to some coding schools. Doyoung was only 5 but was coding as quickly as computer scientists who's been coding for years. He was excelling too quickly that his father took him out of the school in fear that someone would take an interest in him.

"Doyoung, you are a gift!" His father said.

"I...I am?" Doyoung's eyes sparkled.

Truthfully, Doyoung's father was the leader of Korea's biggest underground mafia group. His group distributed huge amounts of drugs and weapons, illegal prostitution, and ran a gambling scam.

And Doyoung was in charge of keeping the entire base a secret by tricking the FBI and CIA databases. He was in charge of stealing bitcoin from huge companies and deleting all carbon footprints. He was only 12. He was the biggest treasure to his father. When Doyoung messed up a transaction, he would be beat, starved and humiliated. This happened since he was 5. There was a lot of mental trauma and PTSD. Up until 10 years old, he had perfected his hacking abilities and he made no more mistakes. However, the 6 years of continuous torture could not be erased with a simple click of a backspace button. He didn't realize it was the wrong thing to do. This life was monitored by his father and he never learned the concept of morals. He was never sent to school. All he had to do was code. There was only 2 things he liked: his mother and an online hacker friend he made on accident when he tried to hack a Chinese secret database. He was caught but the hacker on the other side was not a bad person but actually someone just like him. He went by the name Kun.

Kun asked his how he found this database, and Doyoung said he was trying to infiltrate a Chinese mafia database. Which he did, but the other skilled hacker had another layer of security that Doyoung was unaware of. However, they became friends quickly since they were the same age and their family situation was the same. He created a secret chatroom with Kun's special security layer where they just chatted in binary. Kun was telling how he was going to run away from his mafia group when he turned 18 and living in secret at an area called NCity in China. That area was a small population that was banned by the UN from mafia infiltration. Doyoung never understood why Kun wanted to escape. All Doyoung had to do was click and type a bunch of numbers and letters and father was happy.

Kun explain to him that what they are doing is "illegal". Doyoung did not understand the concept of "illegal".
