AR Prologue

PR by time

Inside a dark warehouse, a gust of rainy wind blew in through the crack of the door. Whenever a rumble boomed from the sky, the child trembled in fear. Hiding within an abandoned agricultural machine, the child hugged her blackened knees.

I miss Mommy and Daddy. Was she being punished for skipping out on her tutoring session to play? Why wasn’t the man who claimed to be Daddy’s friend sending her back home?

Boo-boom!

Something flashed through the crack of the door, and the crack of thunder tore into her ears. A stifled groan hissed out through the child’s clenched teeth. Hot tears drenched her cheeks. The smell of urine began to emanate from her dirty dress.

Daddy is going to come.

The child’s father was a policeman. She had even seen her dad catch a pickpocket with his bare hands. The pickpocket swung his knife, and blood began to drip down her dad’s arm. However, her dad didn’t even flinch as he swung the pickpocket down onto the ground. The child would cry at the drop of a hat, so her dad looked up at her and grinned before giving her a wink. From then on, her father became the child’s hero.

Daddy… Why aren’t you coming…?

Yesterday morning, the bad man grabbed a fistful of her hair and cut it off. Because the child liked her hair long, she had always hated getting a haircut. However, now she didn’t care if they decided to shave her bald. The man told her that if she made even the slightest sound, it would be the end for her.

As the child’s shoulders trembled, she buried her face in her hands . She painfully bit down on her lips since she couldn’t cry out loud. However, when the disgusting rats charged at her after smelling the breadcrumbs, she couldn’t help herself. Her screams mixed in with the boom of thunder.

Suddenly, she heard the door unlock. She covered her mouth with both hands and began to tremble like a leaf. Her hair that now reached just below her ears was damp with cold sweat. The child had just turned eight years old. Creeeak, the door opened, and the child began to sob.

“I’m sorry, Ahjussi… Please send me back home…”

“Shh. Be quiet.”

The child’s eyes burst open. It wasn’t the gruff voice of the man. Through her tears, she saw a small boy standing in the doorway. He was smaller than her, and inside his hand was the key that the man carried with him.

“…Hurry up and run away. There’s no time.”

The boy’s entire body was dripping with rain. The child wiped her damp eyes with her fist and stared blankly at the boy. However, when she felt a rat walk over her foot, she shuddered and burst up to her feet. It was pouring outside.

“Hurry. Go.”

Because he didn’t have an umbrella, the rain was drenching the boy’s entire body. His face was pale.

“…Let’s go together.”

The child quivered as she whispered. She thought that this boy had also been dragged here by the bad man.

“Did that bastard fall into the crapper and die or something…”

Next to the warehouse, they heard a gruff voice. Suddenly, the child grabbed the boy’s hand and froze. It was the bad man.

“Is that kid trying to get out of buying some more soju… Hey!!”

The shadow began to move in the brightly lit room, and the sliding door opened with a crash. The boy pushed the child with all his might. The boy’s fist ended up hitting the child’s head.

“Fuck, do you want to die? I said go.”

The boy glared as he cursed like one of the adults. The trembling child finally shook off the paralyzing fear and returned to her senses. She ran out towards the front gate.

“I’ll go and buy it. I said I’ll go and buy some more… Ah!”

The moment she climbed over the rusty gate, she heard a resounding smack followed by the cries of the boy behind her. Outside the house, there was a dark staircase. The child didn’t hesitate and began to run down, unbothered by the piercing rain shooting down on her.

Before she reached the bottom, the child couldn’t help but turn around and look. She could only hear the sound of heavy rain. No one would know what was going on in that house. If the bad man found out that the boy had let her escape, he might lock him in the warehouse and kill him.

“Huuu…”

However, the child ultimately turned her back on the old house. Just recalling the man’s face made her want to piss her pants. She couldn’t bring herself to go back. The rain continued to pour as if there was a hole in the sky. The unfamiliar neighborhood didn’t have street lamps, and the roads were like a maze.

The child cried as she ran and ran. She felt like the man would burst out of the dark streets and drag her back to the warehouse. She tripped and fell down. Her knees began to bleed, but no one was around to help her up. She continued to run as blood dripped down her legs. She saw a familiar car parked in front of a convenience store.

“Jiwon…!!! Jiwon!!!”

The old sedan began to silently flash its siren lights, and her father burst out of the driver’s seat. The child’s eyes grew blurry as she watched her dad run over to her. Then she lost consciousness in her father’s arms.
