Min Yoon is a 17 year old. He was the youngest in his family. He has two older brothers but he doesn't get along with them and his parents never really liked him. He has short black hair and big black eyes. He had a lot of friends but he never thought of them as true friends. And he was always wearing black leather jacket and black jeans with white shirt and earrings. And slowly he started noticing that his so called friends are calling him a weirdo and making up gossips about him and everyone was looking at him as if he was a freak. So he didn't talk to them and avoided them. When he was fourteen he found a video of a girl singing a song and even though he could not understand the language, he was mesmerized by it. By her voice. He kept listening to it. Every day his parents counted all his flaws and pointed them out. How he's an awful son, how his brothers made them proud and he made them ashamed and so on. And each day seemed more horrible than the last one. So on his fifteenth birthday he went to his favorite place. The bridge. He played her song and jumped except it didn't go as he thought it would. When he jumped in the river his earbuds got damaged and he was electrified and fainted and river carried him someplace he haven't seen before. He woke up on land and there was some guy standing next to him. He seemed to be in his early thirties. He had a leather jacket and bunch of tattoos and piercings. He looked awesome and intimidating. He didn't say anything. He just kept looking at Min Yoon. MY: Where am I? Who are you? Stranger: You're at east side of the river...I was here with my gang but I saw something going down the river and followed it....and found you Stranger: And you can call me DR.... and you are? MY: Min Yoon DR: So, Min Yoon, why did you try to kill yourself...is it because of your ability or? MY: I...I don't know...I was just tired of everything and everyone...but what did you mean by my ability? DR pointed at his hand that was still in the river and the river was flowing differently than it was supposed to. It's as if it had a rhythm. Like a song. MY: Woah.. DR: I guess you didn't know you could do that based on your reaction... MY: You don't think I'm a freak because of this? DR: No.. DR: Look you seem as a kind of person who found himself in wrong society.. my gang and I are like you so I would very much like for you to join us...we won't judge you and discriminate you...so what do you say? MY: Why would I...I don't even know you or your gang..? DR: You don't, but at least we weren't the ones who made you jump...at least give it a try... MY: ... okay, but what is it you do? DR: Whatever we want, we're our own people... no one can take our freedom.. And so Min Yoon joined them and became part of their gang and whenever they wanted to have fun or mess around with people he would do tricks with music and water. He was hanging a lot with DR and practiced his ability to control water with music. During the years he was with them, he was forced to do bad stuff and he didn't mind. Actually he enjoyed it. Sometimes they would rob some houses or stores and sometimes they would beat some people they didn't like. He's got a lot of scars on his back because one night after they beat some guy, that guy's older brother found the gang and took MY and cut him all over his back as a warning and the gang didn't give a damn. Only when MY came back were they all pretending to be happy and pretending to be worried that he was gone. Only DR was looking for him. Ever since the night he found him next to the river they were best friends and even though it was HIS gang he somehow didn't like what his gang was becoming. He wanted to take MY and leave and start a new gang. But MY was in too deep. So he stayed just to watch over him. As years passed MY was becoming worse. He was merciless and even fought the gang members. DR could see the darkness in his eyes. He thought he lost his friend forever until that night. That night MY took his phone out and got a notification about new post from someone he adored. It was that song. The song she sang, the song that helped him and the song that was with him during everything bad. The song he listened to that night. The song that gave him his power. He opened the post and for the first time he heard the lyrics in korean and it made the song more alive for him and it all made sense now. He clicked the link and listened to the original song. He was enjoying it so much that he went to the river and let his power flow through the river with the melody. The water never looked so beautiful nor did he use his power to make something like that. This was the first time. DR followed him and for the first time ever he saw something this beautiful and for the first time ever he saw his friend with happiness and hope in his eyes. He didn't know what the cause for that was but he hoped it would never leave. It was his only hope. His guardian angel. MY kept listening to that song ever since that night and he thought he could send her that video of hers but he was discouraged. DR talked to him and told him that no matter what happens he should at least try. He did a lot of bad things but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve at least one good thing. He sent her the link alongside with a message "How beautiful". As soon as he sent it he was afraid. He thought he can't be afraid. Not after everything he did and lived through. He gave up on life, on his family, on his friends but he was never as afraid as he was when he sent that. He tried learning the song in bosnian and after he finally did he recorded himself singing it and sent that to her. But still no answer. He knew he didn't deserve to be a part of life of someone as innocent and beautiful as her. He was always wondering if he'll ever meet her. Who's her idol? He was mesmerized by her. There was hope in him. And then one evening he went for a walk and a smoke. He went to the bridge and then he saw her jump. He froze. He wanted to run but he was frozen as if he was told she's already dead. It felt like that night, when he did the same thing, all over again. He finally got his strength back and rushed towards the fence and jumped over and in to the river. But she was already above surface and they managed to get out and dry themselves. He didn't know what to do. He thought he lost her. He didn't know what to do so he hugged her. And felt her hug him back. Which felt good. No one ever hugged him like this. Irena: Why? MY: ...(silent) Irena: Why did you jump? MY (thoughts): Because I was trying to save you... Irena: Here (gives him one earbud).. This is what saved me...my favorite voice singing my favorite song... MY (thoughts): I thought "I" saved you? Wait, she has a favorite voice? Who can be so lucky? MY took the earbud and heard what she said is her favorite voice...It was him.. MY: .....(shocked) He was surprised that somebody would be affected by his voice so much. Especially someone such as her. He never felt this happy and scared at the same time. He didn't know what to say but he didn't want this moment to end. Aand sooo He hugged her tightly.
