Japan. What was meant to be a family vacation, for 2 year old Yoongi, ended in his parents going missing while visiting a shrine deep in the forests. Left alone and lost for days, Yoongi was eventually discovered by locals along a trail leading to the shrine where his only family had gone missing. He had collapsed on the trail, dirty, hungry, exhausted, and fighting for his last breaths. Unable to speak, or communicate the terrors he had witnessed, he was handed over to police officials. After a tedious search to locate the parents of this abandoned child, all hope for their return was lost and Yoongi was processed officially through the system. By the age of 6, Yoongi had been adopted by an older couple, renaming him Dosei as he was unable to communicate his own name when found.
Having been adopted in to a Japanese household, he lost his Korean roots and sense of culture, essentially forgetting who he was. With the trauma he had experienced, to cope he had blocked out that memory and genuinely believed his parents simply went missing. His adoptive parents were always upfront and honest with him about him being adopted, but still treated him as their own. It was around the age of 8 that Dosei would begin to experience severe night terrors. All of it started simply, a few nightmares here and there until he started to confuse the dream world with reality. Hallucinations is what the doctors called it. He had begun to see figures alone in his home at first, but soon enough those horrors followed him to school. In such a conservative society, his outbursts of chaotic fear drew undesired attention to him and his family. He began to refuse to go to school as these hallucinations worsened. His parents then sought out medical help. Being passed along from specialist to specialist with no diagnosis in sight, he finally got some answers. Schizophrenia with a combination of Borderline personality disorder. The array of medications he took on clouded his mind and closed him off. He continued a life of shrink visits and rotating medications until he was 19 when his adoptive father had passed, joining his wife who had passed but 2 years prior. Left alone again, Dosei searched to find who he was and to find meaning and purpose in the world. After being left a small fortune from his parents passing, he took a DNA test, found he was Korean and on a whim continued his schooling in South Korea for college. Due to certain medications not being available to him, he started to experience hallucinations again. These resurfacing events of night terrors and day terrors prevented him from holding down a job once graduating college. With no job to sponsor his visa, and no family to prove he had citizenship in South Korea, Dosei got caught up in the wrong crowd. He kept his head down, stayed in the shadows while aiding in cartel work. With no access to any of his medications, he turned to other vices such as drugs and alcohol to help subside his hallucinations. He now resides in the suburbs of Seoul, crashing in a room of a warehouse of one of his suppliers. Though it's dangerous work, they take care of him. But as events continue to unfold it becomes aparent that these hallucinations are not that at all, but the consequences of his parents actions while taking part in a cult ceremony where they offered him as their first born. He is being haunted, hunted... and it's only a matter of time before running is no longer an option.
