TIGERS WILL
CHAPTER 1
Everything's ruin and it's my fault....
Everything is my fault... my fault... my fault... my.. fault?
Vincent
*Walking in the hallway while hearing people whispers*
Student's: Isn't he that guy? *Whisper*
Student's: Look, he still has guts to show up. *Disgust while whispering*
Student's: F*cking bastarn why don't you just go and die *Said out loud angrily*
It's hurt... it hurts so bad...
Student's: *Hit him with an egg*
One by one, they start to throw anything that can hurt me... I start running while they snickers and laugh at my misery.
They were right. Why don't I just end myself? but...
why me... I never did anything, I was 'FRAME', I was 'HARASSED', why pass the blame on me!?
Vincent
*Standing on the roof-top*
Dear Lord... why did my life turn out this way?
Am did I was born like this?
Am I a mistake?.... Maybe I am, is that why you're making me suffer so bad
I felt so wrong with my whole life... I just want to be happy for once.
Is there's a chance, please... I just want to be loved and be happy
He took the step-down, making the people down at the ground shock at the cold body of vincent.
Some we're shocked... scared... didn't care as they watched blood run out of his dead body...
and it was too late to save him...
CHAPTER 2
I can't rest... there are many things that kept me from resting...
Can't I also rest peaceful?
Is my sins that bad for me not have a proper rest...
There's someone calling me...
The voice is so warm and tender, like a lullaby...
Vincent
*Slowly opening his eyes*
...
You are awake... I see *Smile*
A snowy white figure with long hair, skin as fair as snow, and a gentle voice...
That seems to carry me away from the pain I'm feeling... Who are...
(END OF HIS POV)
Vincent
Y...ou? *Slowly reach the palm of his hand of the person cheeks*
Astimeon
*Smile* A guardian, my child
He slowly led the way up as he carried the body of Vincent away from the black water that consumed all Vincent pain...
Gently placing Vincent down at a cushion as he sat beside him, caressing like a parent would do to their children.
Vincent
*Looked at Astimeon*
Astimeon
*Smile* Call me "Astimeon" my child.
Vincent
Where am I? *Said softly with no energy*
Astimeon
A place where pain can never reach you...
Astimeon
Where peace wraps around you like a timeless embrace.
Astimeon
*Chuckle* It's not heaven my child. *Stood up and walks toward a table*
Vincent slowly sat up, regaining a bit of energy, and finally took a moment to process everything. His eyes wandered across the heavenly paradise surrounding him, its beauty almost beyond comprehension.
Vincent
*Looked at Astimeon*
Astimeon
You have many questions in your head, my child... why don't you voice that out? *Smiled as he spun around again while walking toward Vincent with a glass of water*
Vincent
I...I just feel alive right now
Vincent
I don't know what's happened... but shouldn't I be dead already?
Astimeon
You are dead. *Give the water*
Vincent
*Look at the water and take it* Thank you.
Astimeon
But your soul is not dead. My child *Kneeled down at Vincent*
Vincent
What do you mean by that?
Astimeon
Technically, you were not supposed to die at a very young age... but unfortunately, there was an error in your fate that took your very on life.... *Said and sighed a bit*
Vincent
Did you mean... everything that happened to me was brought by my fate?
Astimeon
*Smile* I know it's difficult to accept it...
Astimeon
but we do must accept the reality of it.
Vincent
Then... what am I supposed to do now?
Astimeon
*Held both Vincent hand*
Astimeon
I will send you somewhere...
Astimeon
A place where you can heal and reveal who you really are *Smiled*
Astimeon
But there are many challenges you must face in the journey your fate put you through...
Astimeon
You must face them with the fierce roar of a tiger
Astimeon
unyielding and unstoppable, a force that commands the storm to bow.
Astimeon
You must, and you will. *Looked at Vincent eye with a serious look*
Astimeon
You are born to be something... not just a ruler *Shake his head* but something extraordinary that will make the people look up to you.
Astimeon words of encouragement made Vincent heart bump faster as if he said something right... something that makes his very deep... deep soul wake up from the slumber
Astimeon smiled at vincent approval, he stood up and asked vincent to stand up as well...
He guided Vincent into a portal, Vincent looked at the portal, and at Astimeon
Astimeon
*Nod with a smile*
Vincent
*Breath-in and out*
Vincent then slowly walks inside the portal...
He made the very first step of his journey to the world.
CHAPTER 3
...
I have long held my tongue, but you fools have overstepped your bounds!
...
Do you dare lay a hand on my grandchild and think there will be no reckoning?!
The person was so angry that everyone in the room fell silent, knowing they held no power to stand against Lee Jong Suk.
...
Father... Please let me explain.
Lee Jong Suk
What explanation could you offer?
Lee Jong Suk
That you placed your trust in a stranger, one with no blood bond to our lineage, rather than safeguarding your own kin?
Lee Jong Suk
Is this what I taught you? Is this what your mother and I instilled in you?!
The others were dumbfounded and remained silent, while the little patient lay on his bed, still unconscious with his eyes closed.
A heavy silence filled the room as everyone listened to Lee Jong Suk's furious rant.
Stress and anger consumed Lee Jong Suk upon receiving word that his favorite grandchild had been mistreated. Without hesitation, he traveled far and wide to see the child’s condition for himself.
Lee Jong Suk
Butler, gather the young master's belongings and prepare the carriage. I will take him back to my estate.
He commanded coldly. The butler swiftly obeyed, sensing the weight of the elder’s words.
The boy’s father opened his mouth to protest but fell silent under the sharp, icy glare of his father, unable to move from where he stood.
Lee Jong Suk approached his ailing grandchild, his heart heavy with worry as he gently cradled the child's fragile body in his arms. His love and concern for the little one were clear in his every movement.
Without a word, he walked out of the room, carrying the child, completely disregarding the silent family members who had done nothing to stop him.
Kim Taehyung
Ha... *Breath out, while slowly opening his eyes*
Kim Taehyung
*Move his eyes toward the jar of water beside him, but was unable to move*
Little Taehyung (Vincent) couldn’t move his body, pain coursing through him as he tried to force himself to shift. His throat was dry, desperate for water.
Suddenly, the door opened, and someone rushed in, spotting him immediately.
...
Little Master, you're awake!
The person exclaimed with relief, and Taehyung’s tired eyes drifted to the water. The servant quickly followed his gaze, grabbing a glass and gently helping the little master sit up to drink.
Kim Taehyung
Thank you *he said, his tone sweet and innocent.*
In a soft, gentle voice, Little Taehyung (Vincent) spoke, his words barely a whisper as he looked up at the person who had helped him.
The person stood frozen, utterly stunned, unable to believe that the little master had thanked him. He was completely head over heels in awe.
...
It is my duty to serve you, Little Master. *The person said with a warm smile, bowing slightly.*
Little Taehyung (Vincent) simply stared at him for a moment before speaking again, his voice quiet but clear.
Kim Taehyung
I’m sorry, but... where am I, and who are you?
...
DOCTOR BRING TGE DOCTOR!!!!
The person froze, shock sweeping over him at the unexpected question. Without a moment's hesitation, he quickly stood, rushed out of the room, and ran to summon Lee Jong Suk and the doctor.
