Highschool. A place where kids can be free from their suffocating homes with no parent or adult
watching their every move, hang out with their friends, skip classes and socialize. Many students
form gangs and get into violent activities; They'll pick on the weak, harass elders, get into gang
violence with other groups, and disrupt their teachers. This is the reality of high school.
In a distant alley, far from the high school. A 5 men group of bullies are picking on a tired, short,
skinny, and daring boy, Yun Qhu. He was the definition of brave but foolish; He would save
others who can't protect themselves and help those who need it, but when it comes to returning a
helping hand, everyone looks away in the presence of high school thugs. Faculties and students
cannot interfere in gang affairs, no matter the circumstances, or how dire. The gang leader, Subin
Yaang, is smoking cigarettes, facing the other direction playing video games on his phone while
his henchmen exchange blows with Yun Qhu. Yun Qhu did his best to stand up to this gang and
knocked one of them out cold, but that only encouraged the others to fight harder and cripple
Yun Qhu. Subin Yaang put his cigarette out, placed his phone on the table and walked toward
Yun Qhu. Looking at how his minions are nearly exhausted from the constant exchanges of
blows and decides to finish Yun Qhu once and for all. Subin clenched his fist and rushed towards
Yun Qhu, extending his arm outwards and throwing it directly toward Yun Qhu's face, picturing
him as a punching bag, sending Yun Qhu flying 3 meters in the air and 5 meters away. That final
blow from Subin Yaang completely knocked Yun Qhu out cold, leaving the scene, laughing and
smoking cigarettes with his henchmen, never looking back at Yun Qhu lying on the ground
passed out.
It's nighttime, and Yun Qhu is regaining consciousness, remembering how he lost the battle
against those bullies, and his mental state went into depression. He started screaming, crying and
regretting that he wasn't strong enough to defeat them. Suddenly, his phone starts ringing.
Multiple missed calls and messages from his mother and friends. He answers his mother's call,
"Hello?" She's relieved to hear her son's voice. His friends are at his house with his mother in
awe with a worried heart; Where was he? Who was he with? Why he didn't answer any of their
calls or responded to any of their messages? Yun Qhu told them with a fake smile and laughing,
hiding that he was in pain, "Don't worry about I'm strong enough to defend myself. I'll be home
soon, bye!" Ending the call with his smile turning into a frown. Walking a few minutes into the
neighbourhood and looking at the sky, he saw a shooting star and reminisces a line from an old
story his mom used to read to him as a kid, "If you wish upon a shooting star, all your dreams
and wishes will come true." "Really?!" Young Yun Qhu asked excitedly. "Really." Yun Qhu's
younger mother told him. (End of flashback)
Present, Yun Qhu looks back at the sky and makes his wish, "I wish to become the strongest, so I
can help others." Yun Qhu smiles at the idea that it's just a story and continues walking home. He
arrives at the front door and unlocks the door, "I'm home." He says with relief. Everyone rushes
towards him and interrogates him, "Where were you? What happened to your face? Who did this
to you? Are you ok?" Their questions make Yun Qhu feels uneasy, and he rushes upstairs to hisroom to unwind. His friends Mia Yhuang and Alex Jeong say their farewells to Yun Qhu and his
mother before leaving their house. Yun Qhu's mother walks upstairs to his bedroom, and knocks
on the door, "Yun, are you hungry? I made your favourite Red beans and rice with steak just the
way you like it; I will leave it at your door. When you've finished leave your plate outside, ok?"
Yun Qhu was in no state to say thank you to his mother or goodbye to his friends. His depression
and sorrow were holding him back the entire night. Yun ate his dinner and left the dirty plate and
spoon outside his door; his mother was happy that he ate but also saddened by the fact that her
son was in pain and won't talk to her about it. Yun went to sleep after eating. He started having
nightmares from the fight a couple of hours ago; he was trapped in his imaginary "mind fight"
and this time the thugs transformed into monsters. He wakes up from his nightmare with sweat
dripping down his neck and a bolt of lightning startling him as he's trying to calm down.
Suddenly his phone rang, which scared him more. He reaches for his phone and sees a
mysterious notification, "Yun Qhu, Age: 16." Yun Qhu was confused about what app
he downloaded. Yun Qhu didn't have time to check out the app. Yun turned off his phone and
went back to sleep. During the night, the phone turns on while Yun Qhu has his back facing the
phone is asleep, and sends an alert writing, "Yun Qhu, Age:16.
