CHOI IAN

Song recommendation: Not afraid anymore by Halsey.

The women held her son closer to her heart, The rapidly beating heart ringing inside Ian's ear as the women wrapped her shaking arms around his body. The ten year old had no idea what to do or speak.. He was scared and panicking but he tried his best to don't show it outside. He needed to stay strong for his mother. He knew if he also break down at a moment like this everything will just get more complicated.

Minsun tear filled eyes glanced at the passed out junghoon.

What if he wakes up? She thought as she didn't completely trusted the book yet. Minsun quickly wipe the tears of her cheeks, Removing the tear stains from her soft skin. Heavy breath left her cracked lips as the women spoke to her son.

"We should get out of here.."

The raven stood up pulling her son up as well. The half ripped book was still in her hands, Her hands clinching against it tightly.

"Let's go Ian."

She said dragging the boy with her. The boy spare a glance at his father for the last time before silently following his mother. The raven women's clothes were drenched in blood, The pain was evident in her shoulder but she completely ignore it as he rushed out of that dark and cold basement.

The women turn off the lights, Slamming the wooden door close. She make sure it was completely locked before rushing up stairs.

Ian watch her mother hurrying to pack the bags so they could leave. The women pushed all the wanted things inside two bags then limping to close the windows and door of the house, leaving the house to be taken over by the darkness.

Ian stared at the darkness, This house..it felt so different at the moment for him. Once this home was warm, filled with Laughter and Tears but then within days it started getting deathly cold in here. All the house was left with was tears and the memories.

Ian felt a hand wrapping around his smaller one's soon getting dragged out of the house. He walked behind the mother like a soulless creature, sparing few glances at the dark.

Minsun got Ian and herself out of the house. The women closed the front door, Pushing the keys down her pocket. Ian watch the blood drenched clothes of his mother, The empty eyes filled with concern.

"Eomma you are bleeding.."

The boy said, his soft voice filling the raven's ears who turned around to face Ian. She stared at her son for a moment before slowly smiling. Flashing a soft and comforting smile at the 10 year old.

"I will be fine Honey..Right now we need to get to grandma's house."

The women said caressing ian's hair with her hands. The boy nod his head before helping his mother to get to the car. They load the car with the luggage. Because of living in a isolated place they had no neighbours and it somehow was an advantage now.

The mother and son got inside the car closing the door behind.

The sound of cloth ripping was heard by Ian as the boy turn to see his mother ripping the side of her dress then bringing it closer to her bleeding shoulder. The women started wrap the cloth around her bleeding stab wound, Groans left her mouth as her teeth dig down her lower lip, Drawing blood out of it.

Ian helped his mother with tying the cloth then soon when they were done the women start the engine, Driving off.

No other words were spoken as they sat silent inside the car, Minsun driving the car in full speed to get to her mother's place. She was the only one she had after Junghoon and now Junghoon has betrayed her or maybe it was more like he got sick,Really sick.

After a hour of driving she reached infront of the big house. The raven pressed on the horn alerting the sleepy guards to rush outside to open the gates. They recognized the car so they just let the raven drive inside.

Ian rushed outside the car then grabbing the luggage from the back seat. The guard walked closer to Ian helping him with holding the luggage.

Minsun got outside aswell standing face to face with another guard.

"Is eomma home?"

The taller male nod his head a yes.

"She is having dinner."

With that said the mother and the son walked inside the house then meeting with the old women who was sitting there and having her dinner, all alone.

Hearing the footsteps minsun's mother rose her head up, Meeting eyes with her daughter's blood shot eyes. The old women's eyes widen as she stood up from her chair.

The raven just stood there staring at her mother with teary eyes, Half of her clothes were drenched in blood, Dirt stains on her face, Hair all messed up. Minsun's mother's eyes move to Ian who was looking at his own mother rather than the grandmother.

The old women was too stunned to speak. (YES I DID THAT) Minsun just stood there still making her mother to take step closer to the raven. With her wrinkly and shaking hands the women cupped the raven's face in to her hands, Holding it gently.

"What happened to you, Minsun?.."

The mother asked her daughter who refuse to let the tears slide down her eyes but It was harder than she thought so she end up breaking down in to her mother's arms.

The old women's eyes were widen as the raven girl cried in to her shoulder, Hugging the elder tightly.

Once again the grand mothers eyed avert to Ian who stood there watching his mother cry with teary eyes.

"Ian.."

The grand mother called out making the boy to look at her.

"You can go to the guest room..Your mom and I will be there, okay?"

The child just nod his head dragging the bag with him to upstairs.

"Now tell me honey...What happened?"

The mother asked her daughter who kept on crying hard, loud sobs leaving her shaking lips.

"J-junghoon he--"

In the end the raven end up telling everything that happened. The time ran by now it was almost 3 am in the morning.

"I know this is hard to believe mom, But I promise I am not lying."

Minsun said who sat beside her mother side by side on the couch. The old women turned her gaze over to minsun who stared of at the air.

"I know you are not lying..It's just hard to take it all in.."

Days passed by after that incident. Ian was starting to watch his mother becoming quite, Distancing from him just like his father did. The raven haired women kept herself busy learning more and more about the book. She spend nights and days on her desk, Staring off at the book. She was planning something but she never told anyone what she was doing..

But at the moment Ian was fearing that he will also lose his mother. The smile on his mother's face was fading away which hurt him. He prayed so hard that she won't end up being like his father. He knew very well that Minsun was so much different from Junghoon but for a person to change was never very hard.

You may think someone will stay the same but in the end they will change..maybe slightly or maybe drastically, To good or bad. but for that change there must be a reason, A strong one or a weak one. The reason's strength may doesn't matter cause even a small reason or trouble they had can bring them to change in to a whole different person.

Minsun was sitting on her usual desk reading the book once again but was interrupted by a small knock on the door.

"Come in.."

The women announced to the person behind the wooden door. A screech left the door as minsun's mother's figure came in to the raven's view. The old and brunette head smiled softly at her daughter before walking closer to her. The raven smiled back, Closing the book.

The brunette's eyes fell over the thick book before moving to her daughter's tired eyes. It felt so weird to stare at those dead and tired eyes of minsun cause the mother wasn't use to this sight, Those eyes of minsun were always filled with brightness, stars and hearts for everyone. She never even hesitate to risk her life for a stranger. Always there for anyone but when she herself fell in to hole filled with problems there was no one to even give her hand to get out of that hole.

A sigh left the brunette as the old women sat down on the bed, facing her daughter who waited for her mother to speak up.

"You seem to be all busy with that book.."

She started speaking making minsun to lower her gaze, already predicting what was coming for her from the brunette. A heavy sigh left the brunette's mouth as she stared at the raven who avoid her gaze.

Ian was walking through the hall way humming a random song while he did. But then he heard the faint conversation happening between his mother and grandmother. The boy's walk came to a stop as he reached right infront of the door, Unconsciously listening to the conversation that gained his whole attention on.

The grand mother placed her hand over minsun's.

"What are you planning to do minsun?"

She asked squeezing her daughter's hand in a comforting way, It was a motion which the Brunette always did to her daughter whenever she was anxious or sad or even to say how she loves her without words leaving the brunette's mouth.

Minsun kept silent as the mother smiled softly.

"You know I always supported you with everything...Then why are you afraid to open your heart to me?.."

The old women asked with a soft and sweet voice. The raven raise her head up, Eyes glassy as it shone under the light reflecting over the mother's brown orbs which await for her daughter to speak her heart out.

"I don't want him to destroy this world..No one deserve to be controlled, To don't have a opinion of their own,to not being able to do what their heart wants...When the Ten years are over he will be back..And I may fail to stop him..Then this whole world will fell apart..And I don't want to let that happen even after knowing what was going to happen to the future.."

Minsun said as the mother asked.

"What do you want to do about that?.."

Light shone bright inside minsun's eyes as it stared sternly in to the Brunette's.

"I want to be the guardian."

Eyebrows knitted together as confusion was evident inside the old women's eyes.

"Guardian?.."

The raven nod her head.

"There is a quirk to be the guardian of four- five quirks, I can choose someone to have them without they wanting to read it out loud or anything..And I am going to choose them. I am going to give them quirks, I am going to share the responsibility to save the world with them."

Eyes widen at the words which left minsun as the brunette stared at her daughter without knowing what to say. Even Ian outside the door was amuzed hearing it.

"But you told me its a big risk to have one more quirk after the one you already have.."

Minsun nod her head.

"It is..But--"

"I am not letting you do this."

The stern voice of the mother startled minsun as she stared at her in disbelief. Her mother never once disagreed with her as every desicion minsun took was right but this one wasn't.

"You are not risking your life for the strangers again..You did it many times and every time you did nothing happened but you just got hurt...It was the same with junghoon the doctor told you he may can lose his mental stability here and there and being in a relationship with him will may led to something bad but you risk it, And look at you! You almost got killed by him!!"

Anger coated the older's voice as she raise her voice. Tears left minsun's eyes sliding down her cheeks for the millionth time. After sparing a last glance with minsun the brunette rushed out of the room.

The door opened to reveal Ian. Anger melt down the grand mothers body as she stared at the boy with worried eyes.

"I am sorry.."

Ian whispered as he ran away.

"Ian!"

The grand mother tried to stop him but he just vanishes away.

Days passed by after that conversation, the brunette thought everything has come to an end but in reality minsun never gave up, But she never bringed up the topic again to her mother.

Today minsun was out to the company, First day as the new CEO of their company so now Ian and his grandmother was alone at home, Standing at the garden.

Ian helped his grandma with digging the ground so they could plant a new plant. Light giggles left Ian's mouth as his grand mother keep on telling him jokes and stories about how minsun also always helped her like this.

"Grandma.."

The boy called out as he close the hole which he dig up after putting the seeds in. The brunette women hummed as she filled the watering can by placing it under the running water.

"Appa always used to tell me that I am just like eomma...Am I really?"

The ten year old asked his grandmother who stop on her track, Averting her gaze to the small raven haired boy who sat their crouching down with dirt over his chubby cheeks. The grand mother stared in to the child's eyes watching the familiar stars that glowed inside his honey pools.

She never realised how similar they actually were but now she could see it, The boy was really a copy paste of his mother, From looks to his heart.

A soft smile formed on the old women's lips as she respond.

"You are..You are just like her.."

The boy smiled widely at this, His signature crescent shaped eye smile appearing on his face as he spoke.

"I am so happy to be like her! She is so cool!"

The boy said as the grand mother watched the boy with loving eyes.

"Yeah..she is really cool."

They continue their job at the garden. Ian was at the other side of the garden when he heard a scream from his grand mother. The boy ran to the direction where his grand mother was.

The boy's eyes met with the women laying on the ground holding her leg. The small boy rushed closer to his grand mother, crouching down infront of her. From the side of his eye he saw something long moving, The boy's gaze avert to the creature, It was a snake.

His eyes rush to meet with the two bite mark that was on her feet. Panic rush through his body. Suddenly he felt something rush through his veins, Feeling like some heat rushing through his whole body.

"Grandma!"

The boy called out holding her hand but at the same time his eyes was starting to flash violet. Some type of electric rush out of his arms to the old women's hand, soon white lights were flashing over his eyes, Blinding him.

The boy fell back on the ground feeling a throbbing pain in his chest. He felt his head getting heavier but the boy force himself to get up.

His doe eyes met with the sight, an awful one. There laid his grand mother with white form spilling out of her cracked lips the women's eyes were closed, The skin of her's pale.

Tears filled inside Ian's eyes as he crawl closer to the women. The boy reached out for her as he held on to her face. The coldness of her skin was abnormal. Ian shook the women's head calling her out to wake up.

"Grandma, grandma, grandma!!"

No response was given from the women but the small boy never gave up he kept on trying to wake her up. The pain in his chest got unbearable as he suddenly started coughing, First it was just loud coughs until he started coughing the red substance out. Blood splattered all over the old women's face and ground as the small boy held over his hurting chest, Soon his vision was fogging up then he was falling over his grand mother's chest like a lifeless limp.

Minsun stood there watching the head stone, The coldness of the grave yard making her body hair to stand up.

"It was my fault.."

The raven whispered staring at the name of her mother craved on the tomb stone.

Ian was okay but he was at the hospital still not awake but the doctor promised that the boy will wake up and about the brunette she has passed away.. One of the last person minsun had in her life has also disappeared...

She didn't listen to her mother and allowed herself to be the guardian, She let the book choose the chosen one's and one of the chosen one was Ian..Her own son who wasn't the healthiest child from the start. He had some heart disease, a very rare one since birth.. And having a quirk would just make him more weak.. And now when she thinks about it she feared that the other chosen one's were also in this condition, what if they are also suffering?

She was ruining everyone's life..She didn't think it through and now everything has fell in to a complete disaster.

After the snake bite Ian rushed to his grandmother and the panic he felt at the moment made his quirk to come out and as he was also assigned to be the first one to have his quirk it was easy for the quirk to be activated.

His quirk made him able to heal anyone..But because of its being the first ever time for him to use it, He had no control over it and it end up killing his grandmother..

Minsun felt her legs getting weaker and weaker soon the women was falling on her knees infront of the mother's grave.

Tears welled up inside her wide eyes as it stared down at the ground.

"I should had listen to you...I never should had done this! I killed you!! I brought my son's life to danger!! I AM RUINING EVERYTHING!!"

She screamed out, The guilty eating her up, Tears left her eyes as she sobbed loudly. The pain in her heart was unbearable, Every single memories she had of her mother rushed inside her mind leaving her helpless and hurt.

Wimpers and loud cries left her mouth as the women stared at the ground with tears rushing down her red cheeks.

"Am I also going to ruin the other four boys lives as well?"

She asked herself waiting for the future to answer her..

And it did answer..

Answer her that she was right..

That she also ruined their lives..
