You were hiding behind the shed right next to the orphanage you lived in. They called it ‘Eden’. A paradise for young growing minds to have a safe space to stay and connect with other children and kids their age. However, this place was nothing like a paradise.

To first start, there were these two twins and another weirdo. One who was cold, and the other had a stutter and giggled 99% of the time. The other guy was a creep and would take photos of suyeon and watch weird videos online. You guys were around the same age.

But the orphanage owner, Mrs. Um, was the weirdest of all. She always had this eerie smile on her face and her voice was always cheerful, but under all her happiness was a cold and evil person. She would also serve this certain meat sometimes. It was raw and considered a delicacy in the area, but the moment you ate one piece, she knew it wasn’t animal meat. The other boys enjoyed it though…

Then there was Moonjo. He seemed like the most normal of them all.. except for his fascination towards human teeth. Ms. Um encouraged his interest and even bought him books and study guides so he could get into oral school. You heard from some other kids that he was sent to the orphanage after his parents mysteriously died from blood loss from stab wounds. His parents were abusive and he still had some scars that were permanent and would never leave his body or mind.

Now you were 17, and Moonjo was 18.

You stood there in curiosity as you watched moonjo, crouched over a dead cat’s body. He seemed to be digging in the poor animal’s mouth with sticks.
