Beneath the cold
A boy sobbed, his small hands clinging desperately.
“Jiwonie… please, don’t leave me, I don't want to be here again”
the young man whispered through tears.
“Serzh… I’ll come back trust me. Just… wait for me”
The boy screamed, his voice breaking as the orphanage worker pulled him back.
“NO! You said you’d protect me! You said you’d stay forever by my side!”
“I’m sorry… Serzh.”
