Disgusting medicine 1.

Miyun stared at nothing in particular as he whirled his pen around. He was so deep in thought he felt his head might suddenly burst.

He walked over to his window to watch other kids his age play with their special powers. Miyun wondered if perhaps there was something wrong with him. What he also failed to understand is the stupid mask his mother made him wear or so he thought. Miyun wondered why his mom always made him wear it. He stopped asking when he realised nothing was going to come out of him prodding his mother.

Someone knocked at his door, right after, a petite young woman with beautiful features walked in holding a tray. Miyun eyed the tray in disgust and turned away. " Mom, till when would I have to take this medicine, I don't like it, it's bitter" Miyun complained. " Medicines that work effectively do taste bitter, cub" His mother cooed. " I'm not sick, I don't care of it's effectiveness" Miyun stated drily nevertheless taking the ugly looking liquid and gulping it down. He scrunched up his face and dramatically fell on his bed like he'd fainted. The young woman chuckled. Miyun suddenly sat up and looked at his mother. " Ask me, and stop looking at me like that" his mother told him. " Can..can I go play with the other children?" Miyun asked. Yulia, his mother stiffened for a fleeting moment but regained her composure shortly. " I can see you are bored, you can, but put on the mask and make sure no one pulls it of " Yulia told his cute son.

Miyun beamed and hugged his mother. " He took his rather cool mask and sauntered out of the room. Yulia watched his retreating back and sighed deeply. " I'm scared Giwra" she muttered under her breath.

Miyun stood quietly for awhile accessing his surroundings and also taking in where the sounds of children were coming from, he strode to the source of the sounds and realised upon approaching the sounds seemed to have stopped. " Hi, I'm Miyun, I was wondering if you'd let me play with you" he announced. There was still silence and he wondered if they might not want to play with him.

One kid spoke, " We don't mind, but you have to ask our master and besides can you play with that thing in your face"

Miyun nodded but was eager to be accepted by this so called Master. " My mask shouldn't be a bother, so where is your master then?"

The group suddenly got quiet again, but there were footsteps approaching him though he couldn't tell from which direction, which was weird. He kept on turning till a hand gripped his shoulders to hold him in place. This person was definitely stronger and taller than his ten year old self he guessed. Could this be the master, he thought inwardly. " You want to play with us.... what's your special power? " the person asked. " I don't have any,...yet" he told them. " Boy, you can play with us. leave." the young boy said with a tinge of anger in his voice. Miyun stood frozen not expecting this.

" Do you want an escort since you have that thing on your face?" The again said drily. Miyun felt tears sting his eye he begin to slowly back away and finally run away.

" Sihui, that was not necessary, we could have made him our dog after all." One of the older girls in the group said as he draped his hand on the Master's shoulder. The master wordlessly flung the girls arm off and called two other boys. " Don't ever let that boy in here , do I make myself clear." They all nodded without complaint and resumed what they were doing.

Miyun stormed into his house ignoring his mother's call. He locked himself up. So what if he doesn't have special powers, that wouldn't make him the first, he told himself, but he was still hurt he was rejecting by that Master.

Evening came quiet fast. Miyun hadn't realised he had even slept. He was still drowsy but hunger was gnawing at his stomach. He was surprised his mother had not come to wake him up to eat, not was so uncharacteristic of her. He got up and walked towards the kitchen but something caught his attention, there was a rather buff man standing in the kitchen he was holding something or rather someone in his right hand and a tool of some sort in his other hand. Miyun wanted to scream at the scene, but he saw the buff man topple over with bloodstains appearing at his abdomen.

He rushed to his mother whi scooped him up and begun to run from their home. "
