The phone rings.

I wipe my cheeks and try to see the caller ID.

Dad

["Nanon?"]

A familiar voice speaks from the other side.

I don't want to talk to him.

But I needed someone, anyone.

Even if it was my dad who had disowned me.

"Dad..."

["Oh, you finally picked up."]

I frown and quickly check the notification bar on the lock screen.

67 missed calls

Maybe I had spaced out again.

"I am sorry..."

["It's totally fine. How have you been?"]

I know he is asking this for the formalities.

"Stop it, dad."

Silence.

["What are you talking about?"]

"I know you don't care. You are just checking if I am alive or not. So, yes, I am alive. Are you done? Is that it?"

["....When are you coming back home?"]

Home? What home?

The person I call my home is suffering and I don't even know if he is doing okay or no because he never talks.

"Last time I heard, you had told me to get out of your house for loving someone. You still want me home?"

["Don't be like that, Nanon. I need to tell-"]

"I don't wanna listen."

["It's related to Ohm."]

"Don't say his name. You don't deserve i-"

["LISTEN FOR THE SAKE OF GOD!"]

I stare at nothingness, my head pounding.

["I know what's happening there."]

A tear slides down my cheek.

"How?" My voice is barely a whisper.

["It's the curse."]

The......curse?

["Just whatever you do, don't leave Ohm alone."]

"Wh-what?"

His voice tunes out of my head. My ear ringing.

The door to our bedroom slowly opens.

A deafening scream erupts.

The phone in my hand falls to the floor.

["Hello? Nanon? Nanon, is everything fine? Hello?"]

I run to see what is happening.

Ohm is on the floor, holding his throat.

There's blood everywhere.

The screams are coming from him.

And I couldn't function.

Because his eyes...

The hate...
