Chapter Text
Lee Felix, a young boy with a unique view on the world. Ever since he was a child, he had never understood what seemed like logic to others. He could never see why humans were so against cohabitation with ghouls. Why did the other have to die for the other to live? Couldn’t they live in harmony?
It was due to this that he was constantly beaten up by his parents as though they were trying to ingrain the idea that it was kill or be killed when it came to dealing with ghouls. Even then he still did not yield, he firmly believed in himself. It can’t be only him who thought that way, right?
Wrong. How very wrong he was. No matter how many years had passed, no matter how many different people he’d met, not one shared the same views. So he conceded. He no longer questioned why. He just accepted it as it is, becoming akin to the rest of society. Mindless robots, who would blindly believe anything they were told.
Of course, even if he did concede to society's expectations of him and started to fear them, he couldn’t quench his ever growing frustration at the subject. Subsequently, he turned to sports and martial arts. That being Taekwondo in particular. His parents had surprisingly been supportive of this as they considered it a hobby he enjoys and a homage to his culture as a korean.
To Felix however it was more than a homage or interest. It was something that had allowed him to feel free. No matter how short the time he got to fight.
It was to no surprise that Taekwondo had soon become a passion, a dream. Felix, without any doubt in mind, he chose to pursue his ambitions. His parents however, did not approve of this. He fought for days, weeks, months but nothing seemed capable of changing their minds. Become a doctor they said or a lawyer, a CCG officer, anything other than what he really wanted.
This was his only release and they couldn’t even let him have this?
And so he ran.
