    Summary

    He remembered very well, the night she sat by his bedside. She told him to close his eyes and count to 100, five times over. She made him promise not to open them until he was done.

    Then she stood and quietly left, her figure vanishing as she closed the door behind her. Obedient as always, Yeonjun began counting. He tried his best, but he couldn't block out the escalating noise from the living room. He heard their voices rising in anger. Their words were sharp and heavy, tumbling into chaos. His little heart quickened with every crash or thud.

    But he kept counting. He wanted to be good for her.

    After a time, silence fell, so unsettlingly heavy that it nearly suffocated him. His home seemed too empty all of a sudden, and curiosity got the better of him. Silently, he opened his eyes, then crept to his bedroom door and slipped out into the dark hallway.

    When he reached the living room, the sight was too much for that little boy.
