There she lay in the ICU with tubes in her arms and an oxygen pipe that was inserted into her throat for support to breathe. She lay lifeless breathing off a ventilator, while her parents stood outside, her mom shattered to pieces at the sight of the state of her daughter. Her father stayed strong trying his best not to cry or get emotional just to keep the rest of the family sane, as he looked over through the little window which was made on the door of the ICU he couldn't imagine his daughter who was such a strong cheerful person take such an extreme step.
"Excuse me sir, the doctor would like to speak with you. Please follow me ." a nurse comes out from the ICU and asked y/n's father to follow her to the head doctor.
"Is everything alright? Is my daughter alright? Please nurse tell me. I beg you please just tell me." He was pleading with the nurse to tell him but all she did was nodded her head and just walked back in opening the door so that he may follow.
"Mr. Lee please have a seat. I have a few questions about your daughter, could please answer them honestly ?" The doctor his name was Mr. Harry Smith who was heading the ICU asked Y/n's father in a stern and concerned tone.
" Doctor Smith please tell me what's wrong is she fine or what is happening with her? I will answer all questions honestly but please give me an update on her condition it's been 24Hrs already." Her father sounded so broken and fagged out with the entire situation.
"Her condition is not so good. She is in a coma at the moment and we need to determine if she has ever been under pressure from school or has she ever attempted something like this ?" The doctor very directly spoke to y/n's father.
"No never... In fact, she has been a very cheerful girl and always straightforward with things in life. She has never done this before." her father was completely confused.
"Does she have a record of depression?" Doctor Smith asked y/n's father.
"Not that I know of No," he answered in a low voice.
"Alright ... we need to keep her in the ICU until she regains her consciousness back. So please you go home and try finding out exactly what happened we need to also tell the police about her situation as it's the protocol of the hospital." The doctor asked y/n's father.
{Inside Y/n's Subconsious}
"Where am I? What is this place? I feel like I'm falling into this dark tunnel. Did I die already? " The tunnel seemed a silent and dark cold place where she saw herself falling deep into a never-ending hole. What was that place only she could decipher it? But after a while, she could faintly hear voices speaking her name. She suddenly felt like an electric current pull her out into a bright place only to open her eyes to a room filled with people in green-colored clothing and white jackets.
"Arghh... Ughhhh" wincing in pain.
"Can you hear me?" an unfamiliar voice spoke from the bright light.
"W-Where am I ?" she whispered. Her throat felt harsh from inside, probably it was because of the tube which was inside her throat.
"You are in the hospital, Miss can you see this ?" raises two fingers up in front of her eyes trying to see if her vision is stable.
"That's two fingers, Doctor. Why am I here I was supposed to die ." y/n sounded like a wounded child full of negativity.
"You are lucky to have survived it seems that you consume a whole bottle of sleeping medication. Why did you do that ?" The doctor very carefully asked y/n.
{Sniffles}
"Alright we won't pressure you it hurts to speak but later on needs to tell the psychologist everything honestly," he tells and goes off to see the next patient.
{Time Skips}
Her family, friends, and teachers all come to visit her. Her father broke down in front of her for the very first time in his life pleading with his daughter to share everything that hurts her. He asked her to be honest with him and said that he would take care of everything. His younger brother was equally shocked and concerned about his sister and was in tears.
"Sis please don't try to leave us again. We love you. Do you know how scared we were and dad has eaten anything for three days. " He was holding her hand and crying while he spoke.
"I am so sorry I had no choice after everything that's happened. " y/n sobbed as she explained everything and the cause of her taking such a harsh decision. Her family was really outraged after hearing everything and decided to file a case against the culprits who instigated everything.
{Few Days Pass}
Y/n was back to her daily routine of school and seemed a little introverted and stay almost alone by herself. This took a huge toll on her and she decided it's best to stay alone.

Gave hope to many to come and pursue their dreams. This place was known as Seoul, home to the biggest acts in the country saw a lot of uprise in talent lately after the most successful introduction of Korean music into the western music industry started to emerge.
There was this one particular island boy from the beautiful and bountiful island called Jeju, it's abundance of nature and ocean was mesmerizing to this boy, but deep in his heart, something else was eating him away. He belonged to a family of deep-sea divers, would go with his mother on the weekend to catch abalone and other sea creatures to sell. His family was your average going middle-class family, they had enough food. But he craved something other than just been a diver boy, he was an aspiring model.
He was about six feet one in height so tall that most people would have to strain their necks to look at him. His skin was not very fair but rather a little tan but to say he was handsome would be an understatement. He looked ethereal and almost looked like some person who was a deity or something. That's why his parents named him Ha-Joon. The perfect name represents talent, good looks, and traits. Drop-dead gorgeous. So he decided to move to Seoul to pursue his dreams. His parents especially his mother was a little scared of him moving out of the island to the big city knowing something much deeper about him than any other person.
{Flashback Year 1900}
Deep beneath the, there was a world that was filled with fire, purge, and destruction. A wicked king ruled there and one day decided to surface from the depths of the earth. He roamed the earth in disguise as a wolf for many years, but one day came across a beautiful woman with who he eventually fell in love. He wanted this woman to be his queen but obviously being the ruler of the fiery realm could not take a human as a bride but always as a prey. In order to gain her heart, he yet again transformed himself into a very good-looking young man, well not so young but merely a 1000-year-old demon king.
Finally, he met her on the Island which now is known as Jeju, and eloped with her against her family's wishes. The society of the fiery realm too resented him for choosing a human as his bride and cast him off the throne. He got pregnant and alas, a boy was born. That very boy was Ha-Joon.
{End of Flashback}
{Present Day Year 2025}

His mother was scared for the fact that he might end up in a rut if he were fated as his father. But just to keep the secret his parents let me go to Seoul and fulfill his dream as an ordinary person.
Finally, he leaves home heading to his dream destination to pursue to be a model.
