Hongjoong's past

Hongjoong's POV

I've always been a regular normal kid. But one day when I came home from school everything changed. The atmosphere became cold, usually, I came home and felt cozy, warm, and inviting but that day it was a lot darker.

It made me scared when I saw my mother laying on the floor. Tears on her face, and there was a handprint on her right cheek. There I saw my dad too, his chest rising up and down while staring intensely at my mom. Tae-hun ran up to me crying and hugged me tightly while sobbing.

"What happened?" I asked with a low voice to my little brother.

"Th-they're fighting Hyung, make them stop please, I'm scared," The little boy sobbed between every word he says.

I grab my little brother's hand and lead him towards my room. I locked the door and wiped down the tears that are running down my little brother's cheek.

"Hey, hey calm down, you have me here, don't hear them, here put these on," I put on earphones in Tae-hun's ears and played his favorite song.

I gave him a thumbs up and he smiled a bit. I sat there with my little brother, trying to ignore my parents yelling and arguing with each other in the other room. I held in my tears from coming out of my eyes.

Turns out my mother had a miscarriage and then she finds out that my dad is also cheating on her. It was hard to hear and process, I was 16 years old and Tae-hun is about 12 years old when that happened. Not too long after that everything stopped. It was silent. I told Tae-hun to stay in my room while I go outside to check on the situation.

When I got to the living room quietly. I was on the verge of crying but my blood boils at the same time. I saw my mother laying on the floor, lifeless, blood everywhere, including on my dad's clothes. The view of my dad holding a knife while standing over my mom's dead body was making my blood boil.

How dare he killed my mother and his own wife. Right then and there I heard a voice saying, "Kill him Hongjoong, he just killed the most precious person in your life, he's a bad person, all bad people must die". I want that voice to go away, but instead, it was controlling my body and mind. I could see my body moves on its own.

I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and goes up to my father from behind and stabbed him a couple of times until he's not breathing anymore. My hands, clothes, even face were all covered in blood. Instead of being sad or regretting what I've done, I felt great, relieved, and powerful. "Good Hongjoong, just listen to me and I will guide you through your life, don't worry about knowing who is speaking to you". Since then I trusted that voice for guiding my life.

I drag my parents' bodies one by one to our backyard and started digging holes for burying the dead bodies. I put down the corpses and put rocks on top of it as a resemblance of my parents' graves. I go back to my room to check on my little brother and there he is, already falling asleep, unaware of what just happened outside of the room. I could still see Tae-hun's tears on his rosy cheeks. I got showered and changed my clothes and fall asleep right next to my little brother while hugging him from the back.

Four years later, I got a job and Tae-hun is in high-school. I lied about everything to Tae-hun about what happened on that day when our parents were arguing. He seems to believe me and since then I applied for two part-time jobs to support me and Tae-hun's school fees and eventually burned the old house down and moved into an apartment. After all of that happened, Tae-hun got into a car accident and his body was really damaged. The doctors couldn't saved him. He was hit by a drunk driver and the driver got pretty damaged but nothing too serious. He got into prison for four years and then they decided to let him free.

Oh, but don't ever think he will just get an easy way out like that. I, Kim Hongjoong, of course, killed him and threw his dead body away into a river. After all, bad people shouldn't live on this earth, aren't they Apollyon?

"Yes Hongjoong, they shouldn't".

Apollyon—Greek synonym for Satan, the arch fiend.
