Battle Scars

Pairing: Hermione Granger x Draco Malfoy

Summary: Returning to Hogwarts as a professor, Hermione bitterly encounters Draco Malfoy as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, throwing everything into chaos.

Hatred and lust slowly begins to burn between them, though only as they recall their final, secret year at Hogwarts.

Chapter word count: 1.5k

Link: Battle Scars

SEXUAL THEMES AHEAD

Type: Slow burn romance

CHAPTER THREE

"Located on the offshore island of Moku o Lo'e– a Hawiian patch called The Mokulua Islands– three dragon eggs were found, all belonging to a woman named Dae-Ner-Eees. Can you guess what her legacy entailed?" Professor (Cuthbert) Binns asked, his phantom twinkling with the sunshine that streamed through the grand window.

A small girl in the front stuck her hand up, though gave the wrong answer.

A second tried, though to no avail.

Professor Cuthbert looked to the back, specifically to where I had been lumped together with a few Hufflepuff girls and a Ravenclaw boy.

I stared impassively through him, focusing on the trees that blew with the warm breeze outside.

"I… err… okay," He cleared his throat, "moving on."

Confidence wasn't an issue when it came to answering questions. I had read the text three times over, and knew the legacy of Dae-Ner-Eees seamlessly– or the lack thereof, as she was murdered tragically by her lover. Though I simply wasn't interested any longer in academia, nor what Hogwarts had to offer.

What was the point?

Why were we playing happy families when people were buried? When friends were laid to rest?

When Harry still woke up screaming?

Professor Cuthbert had charmed a few pop-quiz papers to our desks, and I glared with hollow eyes at the blank page in front of me, resisting the urge to walk out. To be compliant, I signed my name and looked emptily toward the front, trying to sift through my demons when one managed to manifest in real time.

Toward the left, Draco Malfoy's eyes were glued passively in my direction, observing every breath, blink and movement I made. Instinctively, I glared back, screwing my face into disgust at the simple thought of his attention.

Alas, he didn't look away.

I slumped my cheek into my hand and began dawdling answers, trying to ignore the piercing blue stare that was visible from the corner of my eye.

I realized my behavior was a little out of the ordinary, though it didn't need an audience.

I finished up the paper within ten minutes and charmed it over to Professor Cuthbert, giving a small wave to announce my leaving. He didn't say much, nodding without argument, seeming a little lost in thought himself. Without a word, and wand at my side, I waltzed out of the classroom and roamed down the deserted corridors– knowing Ron and Harry wouldn't be out just yet.

No, they had the substitute teacher for Potions, and not a lot was left to the imagination with her displayed chest and keen smile.

I'd asked to skip it altogether, knowing the perverted stares of my friends would end up irritating me more than any mock exam could.

The gardens were beautiful today, pruned by none other than Pomona Sprout and her endless supply of wild seeds. I admired their pretty flowers and crunched on a red apple, sitting on the window-sill that overlooked her cabbage patches and Hagrid's new flock of pumpkins.

Hogwarts had done its best to rebuild after the war, though there were still scorched patches where the death-eaters had come, and debris where chunks of the castle had crumbled to nothing.

Another sweet bite of apple skin and my mind was galavanting over the past month, and how Ron hadn't so much as given me a hug. He wasn't the most affectionate of men – something I actually enjoyed – though it was clear we were destined to be friends. The damage between us far too grave to heal.

I'm lost in daydreams about battle scars and pumpkin pie when a shadow disrupts my silence.

It's him again, though this time, he's not being shy about his unwavering stare.

"What do you want?" I scoffed, his presence a clear irritation to my day.

Draco nestled his shoulder against the wall, a handful of books in one hand and nothing in the other; his thumb absentmindedly playing with a signet ring of emerald green.

"What happened to you?" He asked, too curious to be polite.

Manners had never been his strong suit.

"That's rude." I objected, feeling the urge to leave. I wouldn't though – not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeming hurt.

"The incessantly knowledgeable Hermione Granger isn't here anymore. She's… troubled, anguished. Different."

I'm trying to disguise my glare, though its coming across piping hot. "And I suppose you think it's your duty to start a conversation with someone equally as damaged as you?"

I expect him to retreat from the sting in my words, though he smirks; his mouth all lopsided and smug.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" I ask, a little more exasperated this time.

"I'm concerned."

"You're concerned?"

"Yes. It's a mortal emotion that surfaces intense stress."

"I know what the definition of concern is. What I'm trying to say is, we're not friends."

"I'm aware."

My eyes narrowed, and I felt all the heat of the sun against my face – turning my skin all irritated and red. Or maybe that was the frustration coming out.

"I'm not in the mood for games."

"Who said I was playing a game?" Draco angled his head to the side, getting a better view of what he was so intensely staring at – me or my problems, I wasn't sure.

"Has your guilty conscience finally caught up with you after all these years?" I asked.

"Something like that." He replied to my surprise, with no hint of humor behind his words.

We remained in a loop of silence, both watching each other in a confused light – like two predators who had wandered into a lamb's den, expecting bloodshed though finding familiarity in fangs, scars and history.

There was… an understanding. Though I wouldn't so easily fall captive to his menacing ways.

The twelve o'clock bell tolled from Gryffindor tower, and students flocked from their sessions with an appetite for lunch. Myself included.

I tossed the half-eaten carcass of my apple into the flower den, and a swarm of 'fang fletchers' chomped hungrily down on the fruit, getting their fill.

"This has been nice," I readjusted the bag strap over my shoulder, "though I'm going. I'll see you."

As I turned to leave, Draco's hand snared around my wrist, keeping us close.

"You're losing it." He said below his breath. "The others won't see it because they're too wrapped up in their own drama, and you've always been the independent one who doesn't need a shoulder to cry on or a helping hand. Though you're a thread away from cutting all ties to who you used to be."

His words burnt like a midnight sun, and I tried to yank myself free– though his hold wouldn't loosen.

"And how would you know?" I said spitefully through my teeth.

Draco twisted his grip and exposed the written scar on my forearm– 'mudblood' seared into my flesh forever, thanks to Bellatrix and her gift of the Cruciatus Curse.

I looked down at it with haunted eyes, though also toward the death-eater tattoo that possessed most of his milky skin. Another form of abuse… another manipulation from Voldemort's uprising.

I freed my arm away, scared and silent– forced to face the underbelly of my nightmares, of the pain that had ensued so many months prior – a torment that would stay as long as I drew clean breath.

"Let's not forget who gave me that scar." I snapped, feeling the sob build in my chest. "You will always be an enemy to me."

I left him standing in the dark shadows of the corridor, racing past the great hall and to my chambers.

-------------

"Miss Granger, is everything alright?"

"Hm?"

"You didn't touch any of your dinner."

Professor Mcgonagall had invited me into her private quarters– a desk, a quill and some scattered paperwork all that separated us from the elephant in the room.

"I've had a long journey." I excused myself, forcing a gentle smile.

"Of course, of course." She nodded, though clearly had a little more on her mind. "How is home life?"

I was taken aback, though obliged her all the same. "It's okay."

"And Mr Potter? Mr Weasley?"

"Causing havoc in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

Minerva smiled, clearly pleased that the trauma hadn't stricken them of their mischievous ways.

"I'm sorry I didn't inform you about Mr Malfoy's position, it was very last minute."

My smile went stiff, though it didn't fall. "That's quite alright."

"I know you and Mr Malfoy have a… difficult past," Minerva adjusted in her leather chair, "though I was hoping you could use this time to patch up a few old wounds."

I couldn't help myself– my face reading as clearly as my thoughts spewed.

"Close your mouth Miss Granger, I beg."

I didn't even realize it had popped open, though I pinched my lips together all the same. "I haven't seen Mr Malfoy in a very long time, and I must admit… I was 'surprised', should we say, at his aversion to me."

Minerva straightened. "Ah."

"Yes."

"Well, may I propose you both work together? Slytherin and Gyffindor will be joining classes this year for Charms and Defense Against The Dark Arts."

My stomach knotted.

Joy.

"Really, Miss Granger. You need to work on your facial reactions if you're to work with children."

"Sorry, Professor."

"Very well."

I returned to my bed chambers a little after midnight, and found my case neatly packed on the bed.

The room was sizable, with burgundy interior and gold trim– the view from the window granting access to the back of the castle, and a peak of the grounds.

As homely as I remembered it all to be.

I cranked open the glass-paned doors and opened up the room to the breeze of the balcony, letting in the sweet smoke of the fresh forest and the fizzing smell of practical magic. Lilac dressing the sky and the moon winking from above.

I thought about him intimately for the first time in forever– not allowing myself to truly remember what we were, and how he made me feel, until this very moment.

Why did he hate me so much?

Why was I no longer the thing that made him weak?

I unclipped my hair from the long braid it fought in and my curls sprung freely to my waist– a little damp from the rain, though still as chaotic. My lilac robes shortly followed, landing as a sodden heap on the floor– needing to be washed at some point, though not now. No, now I wanted time alone to myself– a moment to breathe, to mull over the day… to speculate my newfound hatred for Draco Malfoy.

I felt thirteen again.

I approached the balcony in my silk undergarments and breathed in the night air, resting my elbows on the stone wall and letting my hands lull lazily over the edge– my curls dangling just as freely.

"Hermione," I could almost hear him say now, his tone having always been aggressive, always cruel. He had a meanness to him that could make the hardest heart recoil. Though in the comfort of a quiet chamber, that darkness softened into light– and his growled words became panted, weak ones.

"Hermione," his voice now moaned in my head.

"Put your hands behind your back like a good girl."

A flutter shot through my stomach and I opened my eyes, staring breathlessly into nothingness.

I needed to be careful. I couldn't let myself fall back into the toxic trap that we once found ourselves in.

That I, Hermione Granger, became submissive to.

I stepped away from the wall and happened to look down as I did– catching the edge of a jacket as it snapped around a corner. Disappearing into the goodnight.

It was him, I knew it.

He had been watching me.

Don't fight me, he had once said.

We're meant to be together.

Sometimes, her words can be a jinx, Jiyoon noted that its either the fate going along her words or the prediction is that on spot.

She knows self defense and can wield any weapons. (Don't give her a gun)

Her energy always drain fast whenever she is with a sunshine individual (Kalim and Aori) and she tries her best to avoid them. (and UiO)

She is best friends with Jiyoon and they regard each other as sisters-in-arms. (is default one of the family)

Kyong Dae can show little to no hesitation in making decisions, though some of them may bring bitter taste, at least trust her the outcome would be something good.

BIOGRAPHY.

Bernadette Beauchamp had never been good with handling loneliness. She hadn't asked for much in life. Just enough to have her life contently. A husband. A child. A white picket fence. Though fate had different plans for the young woman, who'd had her first son at the age of twenty, with a man who would not live long enough to see his son grow up. Living in Chicago, she raised her oldest son by herself, tried to offer her boy everything she could, though her loneliness still reigned her heart and made her search for love in all the wrong places. Stumbling from one relationship to the next, she settled for things she did not deserve. Mistreatment and toxic behavior were her life for the following years to come. This all seemed to change however, once she'd met Isaac Bradford. He seemed different than all the others. He was loving and attentive, caring and willing to provide for her and her son. Four years after meeting, they welcomed their first and only child together - Samuel.

Sam was a bright child, inquisitive and sweet and his world consisted of daydreams and adventures. He was especially close to his father, who taught him to appreciate music and art. So, the family of four lived in Chicago and Bernadette's dream seemed to come true, until Isaac, ten years after Sam was born, ended their relationship without much of a warning or an explanation. Moving not just into a different city but a different state entirely, Sam got to see his father every once in a while. Though as the years passed the letters and visits became less and less, until Isaac's efforts had come to an end completely.

Now only a family of three, Sam's brother stepped in, supported their mother and aided her in raising the young boy, who, ever since his dad had left, had gotten more fussy, more disobedient. His brother was the only one who could manage to talk sense into Sam, when he started lashing out, though as Sam had reached his teenage years, not even his brother could get through to him, most times. In the meanwhile, his mother had not learned from her mistakes, stumbling from relationship to relationship. Sam had forsaken any true endeavors to build any relationship with the men his mother had dated. Barely bothering to remember their names, as he knew they would not stay around for long. And still, it didn't keep him, as well as his brother, from needing to step in, when first signs of abuse in the relationships arose. And still, Sam was always the shoulder for his mother to cry on.

Sam had paid quite a few visits to the juvenile detention center during his adolescence, always for minor charges. This, as well as being expelled from two different schools for repeated misdemeanor, Sam only finished High School at age 20. Working various different jobs afterward, he moved out. Living in a small apartment, Sam spent his spare time partying. Drugs and alcohol flowed freely and although he was never truly addicted, these substances aided him in coping with everything. The hatred aimed toward his father. The hatred aimed toward the men his mother brought home. The helplessness, when seeing his mother so lost and torn.

It was a usual night, a usual party Sam, now in his mid-twenties, went to with a couple of his friend. The booze was flowing and substances were running high in their systems, though his best friend seemed to have overdone it. As Sam tried to aid him on his way home, his best friend collapsed. Trying his best to keep his best friend awake and alive, he called for an ambulance, though the medics could only determine his best friend's death. Sam refused to be taken to the hospital, chose to wander Chicago's streets instead, until the sun had already risen. It was mere hours after the incident, mere hours in which he hadn't managed to even begin processing what had happened, when he received a phone call by his mother. A rustle on her end of the line was subsequently followed by a loud thud and a scream. Instead of calling for police, Sam took care of the situation himself. His mother's black eye was nothing compared to the injuries he'd caused her current boyfriend. Injuries severe enough for him to be sentenced for four years in jail for aggravated assault. Four years, of which he'd served all.

Upon his release, Sam realized that the tides had shifted and life would never be the same again. His mother had grown distant, shocked to have witnessed what her youngest boy was capable of. Friends had turned their backs to him, for their lifestyles were no longer compatible with his. No longer compatible with the one of an ex convict. The only one who had Sam's back (as always) was his older brother, who suggested Sam leave Chicago. Move to a different place. A quieter place, so he might stay out of trouble. A new beginning.

Living in a Downtown apartment for three years, Sam began working as a mechanic at Extra Mile Mechanics, though has reduced his hours to a part-time position since being promoted to a club promoter and DJ at High Pulse. He still drowns his sorrow in substances and parties. In making music and working out. Trying to stay out of trouble proves to be difficult for Sam, as his abrasive and impulsive demeanor oftentimes get the better of him. Act and speak first, think second. To family and friends, Sam is fiercely loyal and would stop at nothing to ensure their happiness and safety, making others a priority. There are only few things Sam genuinely cares about, which reflects in his behavior. Love him or hate him - there are only few who fall in between.

I am once again rereading chapter 3 of knack for like the 5th time because I think about this fic was too often and I am so excited for chapter 4. Have you so far managed to keep this chapter under 20k? Because either way I'm binge reading the entire thing as soon as it comes out, I wouldn't be able to take a break from reading it if I tried.

Tragically, Knack chapter 4 is still under 20k. (Because if it was over 20k, it would be posted by now.)

Honestly, I've been hitting a pretty severe case of writer's block with ch4. So, I've been taking a break by working on the saal prequel, which will be titled "until the sun had fully stopped"! @wildmoonproductions has been making art for it, which you can follow here daes Ao3 or on daes blog!

I might post a preview soon? You guys have been waiting so long, and I want to give you the beloved Content, even if it's not the whole chapter.

Anyway. Look forward to firework duo bonding time and Tubbo having a small crisis about Techno's service dog in the next chapter of Knack! Also, more Drista, Michael, and Tommy in the upcoming saal prequel. 👀

hwan had no desire to raise a child without his wife , he tried to hide it but he resents clementine , if she hadn’t been born the love of his life would still be here . he provided financial support for the girl but he never gave her a scrap of affection , attention or care . instead he left her in the care of myla , her nanny .

it was myla who got her into modeling and right away she loved the way everyone fawned over her . from there she asked her father to put her in acting , singing and dancing classes . though the only one to really stick was acting .

she spent all her time alone . reading books , surfing the web , playing music just so that she didn’t have to sit in the quiet . or with myla , who encouraged her to throw herself into the arts . what she didn’t know was that myla was stealing all the money she was earning .

( shooting tw ) though it took years for anyone to notice when hwan confronted myla she shot him and fled . clem is the one who found her father , she slowed the bleeding and even performed cpr until the paramedics arrived , if she'd shown up a few minutes later her father would have died .

after the shooting she went from a child start to completely disappearing from the public eye . she went to college , fell in love got her heart broken and was happily retired , then she got a call from a director offering her a part in a film . she wasn't expecting to all the boys to get as big as it did , she hadn't really planned on being shoved back into the spotlight but she didn't have much choice .

｡* ❪ 📂 › EMOTIONAL STATE

she so desperately wants to be liked that she can come off as disingenuous ( that’s because it is ) though it’s not malicious . often times she’s trying to be what she thinks you want so that you won’t leave her .

she’s overly generous , optimistic to a fault , always willing to hear you out and go the extra mile for a friend . that said she is not a doormat , if you take her kindness for weakness she has no problems showing her crazy . though after these emotional outbursts she tends to feel really guilty , catch her telling all her friends that she shouldn’t have reacted like that , trying to apologize a day later and all around backtracking because she can’t really put her foot down .

though she'll never show it she's extremely depressed . she's never gotten over the shooting and really blames herself , her father currently lives in a long term care facility and she visits him almost every sunday . at this point they're extremely close but she does hold a lot of resentment for her childhood .

she has mixed feelings about myla , for most of her life she was the only mother she'd ever known , but she also tried to kill clem's dad . despite all that she wants to try and find her but she's really unsure of how that'd reunion would go .

she's afraid to get close to people because of a deep fear that she'll cause them harm . despite that she can be extremely clingy with people who show her any kind of affection because she was such an attention starved child .

｡* ❪ 📂 › QUICK FACTS

This is among my now top favorite characters on my Fighting Titans

In 1989 Alexander Grady, an auto plant welder and a widowed father from Portland, Oregon is chosen to represent the United States of America in an international Karate tournament against Team Korea. Once a rising star in the martial arts world, he suffered a shoulder injury three years before. Alexander is soon paired with four other finest breeds of black belted warriors. Tommy, Sonny, Virgil, and Travis. Alexander had a challenging time getting along with the boys and trouble soon strikes on a personal level.

when Walter, Alexander’s son was injured in a car accident, forcing Coach Couzo to kick him off the team and Tommy decided to leave as a response. Tommy talks to Alexander and confides in him on his fears and personal vendetta he has against Dae Han, the warrior responsible for his brother’s premature death. Alexander convinces Tommy to do the right thing and face his brother's killer. While Travis and the boys successfully convinced Coach Couzo to reinstate Alexander and Tommy rejoins the team and just in time.

Alexander dominates his match with his opponent, Sae Jin Kwon, but takes a devastating axe-kick to his shoulder which dislocates it. Instead of giving up, Alexander persuaded Tommy to "pop" the shoulder back into place and helped create a custom sling and resume the fight to overcome the injury and overpower Sae Jin Kwon.

Alexander, along with the others persuaded Tommy and let the clock run out, saving Dae’s life. At the ceremony Sae Jin Kwon walks up to Alexander and states his long-time admiration for him as a fighter, before also handing over his medal to him.

4 years later Alexander along with Tommy and Travis formed a Karate teaching studio in Las Vegas. Alex’s friend and partner Travis has been secretly competing at "The Coliseum", a brutal underground fighting arena managed by Weldon Mardano, whose protégé Gustave Brakus is the venue's owner and undefeated champion. But tragedy strikes the core team when the Cops discovers Travis's body floating in the river along with his damaged car, the apparent result of an auto accident. Alexander swore revenge but Tommy’s hesitant. Then Alexander tries persuade Sue MacCauley, who works as a sportscaster at the local news station, to investigate and bring Travis's murder to light. But with no substantial proof of the crime, she regretfully tells him that she cannot do so. Walter, Alexander’s tween son hurries home to warn him and Tommy about Brakus’ goons on the loose after them. but they come under attack by a group of armed men. After fending them off, they pack up and head out of town to seek refuge with Tommy's Native American grandmother Lee. There they encounter Tommy's uncle James Lee, a once-promising fighter whose career was ruined due to a clash with Brakus. Claiming to know how to defeat him, James begins to train Alex and Tommy. The boys train to get ready for to face Brakus once more but latter sends his henchmen after them while Tommy is forced into the helicopter Alexander and the others Alex and the others are herded back into the house. As Weldon's men prepare to execute them and blow up the house, Walter provides a distraction which enables Alex to overpower the gunman. Tommy's grandmother prompts Alex to fire four shots to signal their deaths, at which point the thugs set fire to the gasoline trail, causing a massive explosion. After emerging from the basement unharmed, Alexander soon leaves Walter with Sue, then recruits Dae-han Lee and his Korean teammates Sae-Jin Kwon and Yung Kim to storm the Coliseum and rescue Tommy. Alexander and the boys soon pursue Brakus and his goons and save Tommy and succeeded taking down the big goons. Alexander soon breaks into the arena, his presence giving Tommy a second wind. A barrage of kicks send Brakus to the canvas, and Tommy warns him to stay down. But Brakus does not comply, leaving Tommy no choice but to break his neck killing him instantly. With the villain’s demise and successfully avenged Travis Weldon announces Tommy as the new owner of the Coliseum and invites him to say a few words to the audience. Tommy takes the microphone and declares the Coliseum closed. When Weldon protests, Alexander silences him with an elbow to the face. Alexander and Tommy leave the arena and turn off the lights. When Tommy returns to his hometown in Best of the Best III and IV to settle personal differences it's safe to assume that he passed the ownership to Alexander leaving him in charge of the Coliseum and turning it into a mega Karate studio.

WK 04-05 | How to Analyze a Work of Design

During today's class, we separated our things based on various criteria, such as purpose, appearance, and material.

For instance, pouches and a wallet were made with soft materials such as cotton, while lipsticks, lighters, watches, and cards were hard materials such as metal.

This exploration can be connected with "Data Space" in Studio class, where we categorized our items based on some criteria such as color, size, and materials. This can discover the diverse perspectives and criteria that can be influenced to produce manufacturing and design formulation.

Komnions, an Interaction Designer, stated analyzing design proves invaluable for developing an individual's creative solutions. Thus, by exploring the strategies of other designers, we can learn insights into effective techniques and visual elements for the design.

In the Studio class, I delved into Robert Crumb's artworks such as cartoons which are influenced by his personal history. Understanding his background enriched my design ideas from his works and reached the design of a trading card that reflected his personality.

In my analysis, the central point of design analysis is the recognition of its underlying processes and intentions; history, culture, and background. Through design analysis, designers can find the fundamental functions and symbolic meanings embedded within objects. The analysis would allow for better design decisions for designers.

Design analysis can be used to find commonalities and comprehend them among things. While visiting the National Museum, I tried to apply the skills of design analysis, exploring how artworks were curated based on various criteria like material and social context. This allowed me to learn the significance of its reflection of various contexts for categorizing.

BIOGRAPHY

trigger warning: death, car accident, child death, grief, prison.

Dae-Hyun; Known as Dae or Daniel to his friends and loved ones, was born on a rainy November day in gloomy Chicago, when the sun had long since set. Upon his birth, he was bestowed with his mother's love and father's prayers for a healthy and strong future. Dae-Hyun had always been a calm child, looking at the world around him and taking as things come. Should the child have an outburst or a tantrum, his parents knew something was wrong.

Such it was throughout his entire childhood. He gave no fuss when his mother put him in self-knitted sweaters or when it was time for another round of tummy time. If anything, Dae-Hyun picked up on things fast: social cues, knowing which block went where, learning to walk faster than the normal child would. It was no surprise that Dae-Hyun was an eager student, enjoying school every day, whether it was an art kind of day or if there were math tests to be had. As matter of fact, everything seemed to go so well, that perhaps the universe felt it needed to be evened out on the scale.

Losing his father was hard for him, and his mother, who had loved and relied on the man that carried the family. Dae-Hyun tried to comfort his mother as best as he could at the young and tender age of five, having a good understanding of what death meant. Though not really a joker, he would think of as many jokes as he could just to try and make her laugh. His mother did her best for him in return, though tried to heal her broken heart with the wrong people. Mistreatment and toxic behavior were her life for the following years to come.

That was when she met Isaac a few months after losing Ha-Joon. The man seemed right for her, treating her and Dae-Hyun with kindness and love, nurturing them and providing for them. Four years into their relationship, Dae-Hyun was blessed with not just a new father, but a baby brother as well: Sam. From the moment he was born, he doted on the little boy. He was there whenever the boy needed to be changed, asked to feed him the bottle and helping giving him baths. The older Dae-Hyun got, the more he did with the boy, the more he felt confident to do fun things with his little brother. When it was time for Dae-Hyun to enroll in a university, he decided to stay at home for the, at that time, six year old. When Isaac had decided to leave without an explanation, it was up to Dae-Hyun to take care of the family. He took a gap year, took two jobs to make sure the bills were paid and there was food on the table, as well as being there to make sure Sam was happy and taken care of.

After the year, Dae-Hyun enrolled in the university in Chicago, staying at home so he was there in the evenings and weekends. He let Sam play in his room while he worked on essays and did his homework, not minding when the boy was asking for attention or that he wanted to play with Dae-Hyun instead of alone. He managed to keep his grades up, ace his exams and not have any of the teachers concerned if he was going to make it. By the time of his graduation, Sam was his number one fan as he walked the stage.

When it became time for Dae to look at internships, a well respected architect firm in New York expressed interest in training him, he felt bad for leaving his family for those two years, but he knew that this was an opportunity of a lifetime. So after a hardy word to his mother about needing to step up for Sam, and promising Sam that he would make sure Sam could visit him every summer, he left for New York. He was used to living in a big city, but New York was on a whole different level. He got his own apartment through the firm he interned for as well as a proper wage and he enjoyed his work every single day. It was one day that he was lucky to become acquainted with a certain Genevieve Hamilton, who, with her black and purple hair, stole his breath away. Dae-Hyun had dated through his lifetime, but Genevieve was his first serious relationship that lasted longterm. They made it through perhaps the scariest ordeal together, loved each other, enjoyed every waking moment with one another. Dae-Hyun dreaded the day he had to return to Chicago. Though he missed his family and couldn't wait to have them back into his daily life again, he wasn't certain on if Genevieve would follow.

In the end, Dae-Hyun returned to Chicago alone, having separated with Genevieve as friends, as a long distance relationship between them wasn't what either wanted. Especially without the prospect of either of them moving in the foreseeable future. Back in Chicago, Dae got to focus on his little brother again, who began to lash out and get into trouble more and more. The police officers, at some point, weren't surprised seeing a Korean man bailing out his white brother, as it became a usual sight for Sam to be in lock up and Dae-Hyun coming to his rescue. He never got angry at the boy however, only showing him how disappointed he was and he needed to change his life, that he would have a hard life ahead of him if he went down the road he was on.

He tried his hardest for his brother, but also found that he discovered a lot about himself in his late twenties. He got into contact with his paternal side of the family, even visiting them in South Korea where he learned a lot about their culture, religion and traditions that the family had. Witnessing the Korean ways of holidays, funerals and weddings was an eyeopener to the young man, who found himself adapting to their culture as if he always had practiced it. At the age of twenty-seven, Dae-Hyun converted to Buddhism, becoming more in tune with his own mind, body and spirit. He joined a colleague of his to classes she took, and found that yoga and meditation was exactly what he needed after a long day at work, as going to the gym never seemed to have that desired effect people usually talked about.

Though Dae-Hyun had a great life so far, if he was to pinpoint on when he felt he really started living, he would say it would be his late twenties-early thirties. He started doing what he wanted to do more, instead of only focusing on a school or a job. He loved his job, but he started to shape more of a personal life too. Going out with friends and colleagues, going to festivals, which seemed to tip the scales in his favour. When visiting Lollapalooza in 2010, Dae-Hyun remembered it so well. Arcade Fire was playing: The Suburbs. And he saw her, dancing like nobody was watching, nobody but him and she noticed. Her name was Ji-Min, and she took him by the hand to dance with her. It was the start of a wonderful relationship.

It was no surprise to anyone that Dae-Hyun was so serious about her that he proposed after a year, marrying her in a Korean traditional wedding a year later. He was blessed every day, kissing his wife goodbye when he went to work, coming home to a warm home, filled with laughter, love and comfort. Within the first three years of their marriage, they had two children: Kim and Lee. Two little trouble makers who doted on their parents and loved their uncle, who they would love to see every day if they could. Nothing good lasts forever. As before in his life, the scales needed to be leveled.

Dae-Hyun was awoken by a phone call from his mother, frantic, panicking, hysterical. Rather than waiting for her to calm down and explain what was going on, Dae left his wife, expecting of their third child, and went to his mother's house. There he found her with a black eye, police on the curb, and Sam nowhere to be seen. He soon found out that Sam had been arrested, having attacked her current boyfriend who had given her the black eye. Immediately, Dae-Hyun got into his older brother position, making sure he could do what he could to help his brother. Yet there was no bailing him out this time, and an architect was of no use in a civil court. So he did the only thing he could: Make sure Sam had the best representation and to be there every step of the way. Four years was better than what he could have gotten otherwise, and he promised his brother that they would be waiting for him when he got out and that he would visit every week, every Tuesday and Thursday on the clock.

It was within the prison walls that Dae-Hyun got to introduce Sam to his second niece, Song. A year later, inform him that they were expecting their fourth child, and undoubtedly not their last. Ji-Min and Dae-Hyun both wanted a large family, and four children wasn't big enough. He missed his brother dearly, the two visits not nearly enough to help any of it. So he focused on his family best he could. Help raising his children, making sure they had what they needed and that Ji-Min was happy in her pregnancy. He had his mother stay over whenever she didn't want to be alone and he hoped that the years would go by fast enough for Sam to return to their family.

But to assume the scales were level enough, one would be in for a big surprise.

One simple car ride changed everything for Dae-Hyun. The entire family was singing along to a Disney playlist, wipers swiping across the windshield fiercely as they drove in the dark. Dae-Hyun had no recollection of what happened next. He just remembered being stuck in a long dream. One of those dreams where it felt you lived an entire lifetime and upon wakening finding that it wasn't real. Except, when he woke up and found himself in a hospital room, unable to speak, move or even breathe, his awakening was a brutal one. After he was disconnected from a ventilator, going through a round of checks before he was told anything. Within an hour, he had lost his entire world. His children had already been returned to the earth months ago, his wife, who had lost their unborn child, still in a coma. They hadn't expected either of them to wake up, but her parents and his mother had refused to let them go, a decision that had saved his life. For his wife, however, things didn't look up, and Dae-Hyun knew that as soon as he was told there was no brain activity, that it was a lost cause. He just needed time to process, time spent by her bedside, talking to her, seeing her face. By the time he ended her life on this earth, in the presence of her family, he had regained enough strength to hold her hand. She wouldn't want to live in a world where her children were no longer alive. Dae knew, because he shared the sentiment.

And yet, the next few months stood in the theme of his recovery. Learning how to speak, how to move again, how to feed himself, how to walk. It was a slow and grueling recovery, filled with frustration and anger, all part of his grief, for his family and for his past self. His mother had stepped up, supporting him every day, helping him through his physical therapy and holding his hand during hard times. He hadn't been able to reach his brother, who had denied all phone calls, so he had been determined on visiting him as soon as he was able. From that moment, time seemed to go by faster. It took him a long while before he felt like himself again. His right side needed more time to get better, being left with a constant tremor in his arm and a pain in his right hip. A pain he was able to ease with yoga and stretching.

The moment Sam was released from prison, Dae-Hyun took him to Korea, visiting his wife's family, showing Sam his culture and teaching him about it. He also took the time with his brother to convince him to leave Chicago and move to a smaller place. They settled on Kismet Harbor in Oregon, a place where Dae-Hyun had often traveled to for his job. Despite the distance, Dae kept in constant contact, talking through every major decision in his life, like taking a different job position, their mother's treatment plans, deciding to teach yoga and meditation in his free time, to keep him occupied. His mother's illness seemed to progress fast however, until she too was no more. Chicago now officially held nothing for him anymore, and it was time for Dae-Hyun to start a new chapter. He moved to Kismet Harbor himself after Christmas, road tripping with his brother from Chicago to the small Oregon town, ready to start a new part of his life.
