【 That summer was really beautiful, like a painting and you were the center of the painting 】

Dead, that's the only thing still moving in Huji's head, he still remembers the way the sharp pains in his stomach when he drank too much medicine.

To be honest, the feeling after taking a lot of medicine is like Huji being forced to eat a lot of lard or something without any other dish. The greasy feeling in the throat and the constant scratching of the stomach, the mind is spinning like taking drugs.

But in the end, he took the knife and stabbed deeply into his own heart before falling to the floor and dead

But as his mind flickered back to life, he realized he wasn't dead because his mind was still active. The feeling of everything around him being as dark as ink had made him weary. He wasn't dead yet? Why was that?

Huji couldn't open his eyes, his eyes felt heavy as if he hadn't slept for many nights and he was being tempted by the warm bed in front of him. The strangest feeling is perhaps that the body seems to be floating in water, everything around is water and Huji is lying in the middle of a deep lake.

-"Where is this...?" - The feeling of floating under the water is really not good at all, not to mention that Huji seems to still be able to breathe normally even though he is underwater, what strange thing is happening?

Suddenly, Huji felt as if he were slowly sitting on something cold, his eyes could not open immediately because of a dazzling light that made him frown slightly and use one hand to shield his eyes before slowly opening them.

-"....!" - His eyes opened wide to see the surreal scene in front of him, he saw the face of a beautiful woman with long flowing white hair in the water, swearing to God that this was indeed the most beautiful woman Huji had ever seen. He felt extremely small as he sat in the palm of the beautiful woman before him...

The woman closed her eyes but still wore a slight smile, green around the woman as if emitting a radiant white halo. Just as he felt, he was in the water, a school of fish swimming in front of him, Huji curiously looked around, he was in a clean ocean with many sea creatures swimming around them both.

They were very curious about the sudden appearance of these two strangers, the white hair of the woman swaying in the water, Huji couldn't hear anything as he looked again at the large woman in front of him.

- Don't worry, poor child, I have heard your prayers... - The voice of a woman suddenly rang out as the woman's loud mouth opened, Huji was extremely surprised, even though he did not wear a hearing aid, the gentle voice of the woman still echoed in his ears. It made him instinctively raise his hand and gently touch his ear as his eyes still looked at the woman.

- Listen to me... I will give you my blessing... your wish will be granted... Huji

- ....!

Huji felt a shiver when he heard that woman call his name, isn't he deaf? why does he still hear the gentle voice of that woman? Her smile is so similar to Komiya... who passed away in that fire back then

If Huji is on the shore, he will feel the tears forming in his eyes and they are flowing down his cheeks...

But now he is in the middle of the deep ocean

Huji's tears merge with the ocean

- Please... save me...

Huji clasped both hands together when bowing his head, tears blending with the ocean and the child's prayer turning into small bubbles flying around both of them like beautiful pearls. Huji had always hoped he would live one more time.

Huji always wishes to be like a breeze, without smell, without shape, quickly coming but will leave quickly, wanting to be a leaf on the branch that no one notices and will fall down like many other leaves, wanting to be a drop of water blending into the cold ocean...

- Don't worry... your sadness has been heard by many things and they have come here to tell us about you...

- Your birth is a joy to me... but inadvertently causing you pain...

- Everything has its own soul, like the wind you desire, like the leaf you see, like the cold drop of water you once wished to become, they all have their own soul...

- Huji, you are the precious pearl of nature, of mine, but I have lost you to the continuous human scratches...

- Don't feel useless, you are here by my desire, live, you are my child, the child that I cherish...

- Do you know how much pain I felt when I lost you and how happy I felt when I found you after thousands of years of loneliness and regret...

Huji opened his eyes wide to listen to every word of this woman, Mom? Is that my mom? Huji reached out and touched the woman's cheek while tears kept falling, Huji once had a mother, but 'mom' didn't love him, she even mistreated him with her husband, treating him no different from a bad dog...

Everything gradually sank into darkness while Huji's eyes were heavy before closing before falling into the palm of that woman

Mom...

Huji's mother

Why did mom only come to find Huji now...

What was Huji's dying wish?...

live in a different world?...

Dream...

wish...

no... Huji doesn't remember anything

H

uji woke up again when his whole body became heavy, feeling very painful. Huji frowned when he felt the astringent taste of blood in his mouth as his eyes struggled to open again, the world around seemed larger than usual...

Huji returned at the age of 17, when he was still in school, but what is this house? Is this not his house? Huji tried to sit up and only then realized that his body had many wounds, from large to small, from bruised to blackened.

Huji used his hand to hit himself several times on the head, oh right, he was beaten by his parents, they blamed Huji for not achieving the maximum score, he was beaten until he fainted and accidentally broke his hearing aid. Huji had to lean against the wall to move his legs, he felt his legs trembling when he had to bear the heavy weight...

Huji had to step up the stairs and then enter his room, Huji messed up a set of clothes and then went to the bathroom, luckily the tub was being drained so the bathtub was overflowing with water, Huji turned off the water and then took off each layer of clothes. Huji looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

His entire face is shaped by a personal iceberg, his body is weak and somewhat thin, his body is covered with many bruises, even black bruises, and there are red marks on his arms as if struck by a whip, and yes...

On his back appeared a series of whip marks, they piled up on each other, looking at any angle making others shudder in fear, feeling beaten like this, how? painful...painful to the point where Huji felt his throat ache like being scratched from the inside

Huji didn't care that blood from some wounds was still flowing as he stepped into the cold bath and sat down

* the water flowed out of the bathtub*

-.... och... - Huji moaned softly and bit his lip tightly, feeling the cold water touch the wound, making Huji's body ache repeatedly. Blood began to flow, causing the bathtub, which had been clear moments ago, to now have a faint red bloodstain. Despite the cold, the pain, and the soreness, Huji was determined not to get up, he was thinking about the dream from earlier, it was so vague that Huji couldn't completely remember what had happened.

But Huji still feels strange, as if this is not him but also him, this is not his life but it is his life... the conflicting thoughts make Huji's head ache but the coldness of the water has somewhat made him more alert.

Huji - a student who stopped studying after finishing middle school because his parents didn't have money to pay for school and his mother made him unable to hear anything. The mother is a worker, the father often stays at home playing cards and drinking, they always argue and the point is that they will hit their child to vent their anger.

After taking a shower, Huji self-bandaged his own wound and then went down to the corner of the bed to take out an old box, opened it, and inside were all toys, but Huji knew they were not ordinary toys. Huji started to open them, all neatly folded inside were crumpled banknotes. That was the money that Huji had stolen from his parents, and he knew it was wrong, so sometimes he would draw and sell paintings to make money.

All of this is to carry out Huji's plan, Huji wants to leave this place, wants to go to another country to live. Not only in these toys but also under the mattress, behind the head of the bed, in the corner of the closet, under the bottom of the cabinet, in a few books, behind a box, under a brick lying in the corner. Everywhere in this room is where Huji hides the money.

Huji have to do that because he don't want my parents to take my money, he have to hide...

Huji collected all his money, there was enough to catch a flight to South Korea, where there is an acquaintance of Huji. That woman's name is Komiya, she is a former teacher of him, she has found out that he was being abused by his family, but the police at that time did not care too much about it, Komiya wanted to take Huji with her to South Korea many times, but all failed because his parents did not allow it.

But luckily Komiya left him a way to contact her and her home address in Korea...

Huji didn't bring any clothes, only his money and a wooden box containing his paintings. Huji slowly walked out of the house but was faced with the problem of... his father....

- Where are you planning to go, Huji?

-...

Huji turned back in silence, the man looked very dirty, with messy hair, holding a cigarette, staring at Huji but suddenly remembered, Huji couldn't hear

- You dog, did you break the hearing aid again!?

He went berserk and shouted, walking heavily towards Huji, before raising his hand and slapping his face painfully.

-...

- Do you think that this house always makes money for you? How much money do you know that hearing aids cost?!

Huji tightly grasped the man's hand as he continued to scream in Huji's ear, its limited human strength and Huji not being a beast, did not know whether it hurt or had limits. Huji turned to face the still raging man

- Is my hearing aid broken because of you? Isn't it because you keep hitting me that it's broken?...

Huji's voice was hoarse, his soulless eyes staring at the man who was still in shock. He wondered if Huji could speak. Huji looked at him mockingly, unable to hear what he was saying, but through the language of his mouth, Huji knew he was cursing at him and then slapped him.

- Really despicable... he is my father but has no responsibility as a father... how will people think when they know that the parents of this house are so 'vile' to the extent of using their son as a punching bag?

That statement completely hit his self-esteem, making his eyes turn red and his face flush, preparing to start a fight with Huji, but he quickly ran out of the house.

H

uji walks step by step on the lonely road, clearly there are many people around Huji, clearly there are many conversations around but he still feels lost, they do not know who he is, he does not know who they are, there is no reason for them to care about a kid like Huji, no one has to be responsible for caring about a kid with uncertain origin, this identity

Huji looked at the paper that the guy clenched, now crumpled in the palm of his hand, it was Komiya's phone number and address...

-....

Huji stood in a place to make a phone call, but he couldn't hear anything... how to talk to Komiya? he doesn't have a hearing aid... but Huji still dialed the number and started calling

Luckily, when someone picks up the phone, the desk phone will have a sign turning green, Huji opens his mouth and says...

- Komiya... I've left home... I want to go to your house, can I meet you at the airport [___]?

It's really difficult when you can't hear anything... but luckily Huji can still say whatever he wants, Huji doesn't know what Komiya said but he noticed the phone was turned off. Huji puts the phone back in its place while still staring at it, will Huji be able to break free?

Outside, a heavy rain began to pour down, seeing many people starting to rush to find shelter from the rain, Huji was still standing in the free phone booth, still standing in that transparent box looking out...

Hope someone will rescue Huji...

That's bad...

The world around Huji is indeed a video without sound...

-"Please... anyone, please help me"

Huji unconsciously smirked, mocking himself, as if anyone would help a stranger like him....
