Remembering is nice, but forgetting is even better

Summary:

Hanwool couldn't forget what happened last year or the years before that. Remembering the past is hard. Whether it's good or bad it'll always come creeping in. Even if there are things we'd rather forget. We must not forget what made us, and how it happened.

Work Text:

The pain never went away. No matter how many times I tried convincing myself it would. Like what had happened years ago, someone died…all because of me.

Do you actually think that really matters to him? Hahahahaha, come on, your not that stupid. You know what he did to your mother. Reme-

That's different.

The way she screamed.

He won’t hurt her.

The puddle of blood on the floor says otherwise.

It’s different.

Her terrified eyes staring into yours.

She’s a kid.

You were a kid once, or did you forget who you once were.
