1 Chapter 1
Evan laid there gulping big breaths of air. His sight unfocused, limbs quivering. His gaze slowly becoming focused when there was another strong electric current from the shackles binding his limbs. His body convulsed as the current ran through his body. A long time later his senses came back realizing the torture have been stopped. Even soo his body failed to listen to him , his limbs twitched as if still being electrocuted . Bouts of pain ran through every cell of his body. He felt his body were constantly clawed , stripping layers of skin agonizingly slowly. By now he had already lost the ability to resist , 9 days of constant torture made the originally pale and beautiful youth , haggard and full of scars . His peach blossom eyes unfocued , lacking the brilliance it previousely held. His soft and smooth skin was now covered with dense scars from various kind of torture equipments . There were patches of burned skin and also whip marks an unsightly mess. His cherry red thin lips were now cracked and wounded , saliva mixed with blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. His breathing got weaker and light started to dim from infront of his eyes. His ears started ringing and mind got filled with noise .
The door to this damp , dark and cramped basement room slowly opened . Despite losing the judgement to distinguish between sounds , he tilted his head towards the sound of footsteps due to conditional reflex that developped over the last 9 days . His gaze unable to make out the person , sweat sticking his slightly long hair to his forehead obscurring his sight .Gasping he slowly tried to lift the corners of his mouth , used all the energy left in his body to move his tongue . A small inaudible sound came out
"...Fa....."ther...
His gaze finally lost the remaining light.

Lightweightedness came all of a sudden
Evan felt he was resting on fluffy clouds. Warmth surrounded him dispelling the bone chilling cold . Evan snuglled towards the source of warmth . It felt like it had been ages since he was this warm and comfortable. Safe ; away from that nightmare , here was warm and safe . There was no pain.... Evan frowned but the action was not executed as he did not possesed a physical body.
Pain.....what kind of pain. Evan felt like something was missing. Although warm and safe it felt as if his being missed an important part. His subconscious became restless , trying to find something lost. In that moment his subconscious felt a caress as if trying to appease him . Evan stuck close to the presence that brought him an infinite sense of protection.
Do you not wish to forget....
Evan sensed a call. He was at a loss , confused and insecured . His subconscious wanted to remain warm and dormant but there was also a part of him that felt a sense of loss , a state of forced oblivion .
Then shall you wish.....
A surge of memories flooded him. He saw a child birthed to a very beautiful woman. The woman held the child in her embrace sporting a warm smile. That child grew up happily with the woman until he were 5 . There small beautiful world ceased when one day they were visited by strangers. Than for the very first time he saw the woman cry ,cradling the child. Not long after they were taken to a beautiful but desolate mansion. When he entered the door , his little curious gaze wandered everywhere taking the surrounding , different from there little home. His sight got blocked by a group of adults , sporting a look of disgust foreign to the child . Then a tall but young looking man with a cold gaze stood infront of him
"Iam your father."
The woman pressed on the childs head making him bow his head . His little gaze was forced on the mans white shoes.
"I..I will raise him well. Thank..thankyou for taking us in"
The man gave a cold grunt in response.
From that day onwards the child lived in a dream like house. Wore warm and fragnent clothes , ate all kind of delicious food and slept in a soft bed . But contrary the womans health condition got worse. She was frail and often on edge. later her mental health detoriated . The child was stopped from meeting his mother. He ocassionally saw his fathers shadow let alone talking to him. His fathers relatives would often redicule him and his mother by the age of 8 he finally undetstood the word bastard child. He stopped his childish fantasies as he was froced to grow up. He often throw a ruckus of meeting his mother which resulted in a harsher punishment from his father in being disobedient. He stopped worshipping his father.
His lone and desolate life carried on until one night at the age of ten he sneaked in to the corridoors where his mother lived. He was nervous and clutched hard the candies he sneaked inside to give to that warm and sunny woman of his memories . He wandered the dark room calling out to the woman in small voice . He neared the bathroom upon hearing a clatter. As he twisted the doors knob. The scene infront frozed him in place. The woman sitting in a bath tub eyes wide open looking at his direction . The tub overflowing with crimson red water . A knife dyed with blood layed down near the tub . The womans eyes hollow mouth agape face lost color due to blood loss. The child frozen in place tumbled backwards as this night became his nightmare.
The womans death was ruled out as suicide due to depression. The child soon became a teenager , showed potential . The man over the years didnt marry and had no other children. The teen started working in his fathers company. His capabilities was soon recognized and many crouching tigers became his allies. After completing his studies he joined the company and in a short course of years established himself as a potential and capable heir .
Just before the mans retirement , the youth delt a critical blow to the company. The company was caught in tax evasion, bribery and money laundering. In a short few years the powerful and mighty chaebeol toppled into dust.
The youth testified against the CEO of the company in the court. Having his revenge gotten left the youth an empty vessel. He had dreamt of many scenarios of his revenge. But when it finally came to it he felth hollow and cold .
An year later when it was announced the mans release on parole. The youths life was soon thrown into chaos by the Man. At last he was hung up in a cold room when he was told the reason of the womans suicide. Turned out that the woman was involved with the mans rival before giving birth to the youth. The woman feared exposing the youths origion . And was later threatened by the youths biological father in harming the man . Due to unsuccessfull attempt she was impisoned in the room never to be left out at last when she finally committed suicide.
After learning of the truth , the youth felt laughable , at this fate. He gave up all resistance and let the man inflict all kind of torture at him. Until he finally closed his eyes.

Evan opened his eyes and gasped hard. His sight blurry. He tumbled out of the bed and fell the ground. Following the ruckus a series of foot steps neared and burst through the door. The older woman panicked when she saw the child heaving and quivering at the floor. She rushed to him and gathered him in her hands.
Evan came to himself when he was cradled in the warm and familiar embrace and when he glanced at her he felt nothing but bone chilling cold inside . He hurriedly scurried away from her.
" you.."
When he spoke he finally sensed the anomally , he glanced down at his small and soft hands , then turned around taking in the familiar but foreign room into sight. The soft bed the familiar but distant walls and color .The nanny gave a relieved sigh. she approached the child and lovingly knocked on his small head of curls.
"silly rabbit did you turned silly from a dream?"
Evan remembered the cold basement , the strange space , and the memories. He finally looked at the nanny telling her he had a nightmare but is fine now . The nanny urged the child to accompanying him to sleep but the child refused lifted up the cute little face rubbed his eyes with short and tender hands and in a soft and tender voice spoke
"Aunt you go back i will find daddy to accompany me to sleep "
He came back , back to the time When it all started...
