an unexpected dalliance by his father resulted in an unwanted burden upon the family; however, instead of taking responsibility for his mistake, he shoved the child into his brother’s arms, muttering about his schedule and disappearing from the hospital. abandoned by his father and robbed of his mother’s presence due to her death, hyun-seung was unnecessary, though his aunt and uncle welcomed him with fictitious warmth. resentment lingered in their eyes and in their posture, radiating from their figures in intangible waves. tension hovered in the air while the years passed, and despite his endeavors to garner their affection, they treated him with a callous affection, which served as a poignant reminder about his sordid history. they had accepted him due to the impracticality of sentencing him to a life in an orphanage or within the foster system. they never agreed to love him when his father foisted him onto their shoulders; therefore, he resigned himself to being a pesky thorn that they attended to with the minimal requirements for wholesome care.

yet hyun-seung abhorred them as he felt stifled by their expectations. they projected the image of his father upon him, casting him suspicious glances and assuming that he would fail. his requests gained silent disapproval while his successes earned an unimpressed lift of an eyebrow or an agitated scoff. their reactions chaffed him, creating sparks of rage within his heart. the youth wanted to become something, hoped to be someone; however, they ignored his efforts and gifted him with patronizing smiles, not believing their eyes nor their ears.

however, even with the fury that boiled in his veins, he did not wish to see the life bleed from his aunt’s gaze. his father returned to their humble adobe, stumbling into the house while shouting incomprehensibly and banging on the walls. hyun-seung dared to ignore the commotion while his aunt attempted to appease the mentally deranged man, who waved a knife through the air and seemed to be possessed by the stress that accumulated over the years. his savagely swinging limbs caused the bladed weapon to embedded itself within his aunt’s chest, and with her choked cries, the youth stumbled downstairs, staring in horror at the scene that greeted him. insidious satisfaction blossomed in the recesses of his mind while his father staggered toward the living room, collapsing on the couch and remaining there until the authorities arrived.

without his aunt in the picture, his uncle deigned to depart from the states, dragging hyun-seung to the newly fashioned home for the true pairs. the man admitted to being a sacrifice, though his fighter had died on the operation table years prior, and after the startling reemergence of his father, hyun-seung discovered his own name, etched into his skin and staring at him like a personal stop sign. insular chuckles escaped him due to the machinations of life, though he did not expect his life to be different from the norm. it, however, altered dramatically from what he expected. his uncle left him to his own devices, granting him the opportunity to jump ahead in school whilst stockpiling his collection of tomes and knowledge.

at the age of sixteen, hyun-seung prepared himself to leave for college, departing from the isle for a prodigious school in the states. his adventure afforded him another view of the world and brought him into contact with septimal moon, who recruited the young intellect with relish. he instigated himself into the organization, fanning the dying embers with vigor while plowing ahead with his studies into the human psyche; moreover, with his graduation from harvard university and completion of his fellowship, he returned to selene isle, taking a position at the local hospital and donning the burden of an elite position within seven moons, which he claimed due to his hard work in recreating the idealized version of the organization.

hyun-seung knew and had seen every facet of the organization since his induction, resulting in his upward progression through the diminished ranks of the group.
