"Hyungggg!! Get up!!" Jimin felt something heavy on his stomach. He whined and tried to turn to the other side on the couch, but the "thing" or whatever didn't move, making it impossible for him to turn. "Ah!" Jimin moaned in his sleep and tried to push the "thing" from his belly. "Yah! Hyung! You are going to be late! Hurry up!" Someone shrugged him violently, causing Jimin to wake up in an instant. He found Jihyun sitting on his belly. "Yahhh! Are you out of your mind?? Move!" To be honest, it was not easy to bear the weight of an eight year old, especially when sleepy. Jimin was irritated.

Jihyun snorted and got up. Jimin tried to sit straight but his neck was stiff. "Aish the consequences of sleeping on a couch," he muttered under his breath. "Here take this," Jihyun handed a glass of water to his hyung. Jimin took it and drank. There was an awkward silence which was broken by a sound... Grumble sound? Jimin turned with difficulty to see a flushed Jihyun, sitting with red cheeks. He smiled... Wait...

Then it hit him hard.. Jihyun had not eaten anything since yesterday night. He was so upset that he cried and fell asleep afterwards. Jimin sighed and stood up. Hell...his belly was hurting like fuck. And his back?? Well it felt someone tore apart his back muscles.. the pain was back. He stumbled and sat on the floor. "Hyung!" His younger brother rushed to his side for help.

Jimin looked at him blankly. " Sorry Jihyun!" He cupped his brother's face while tears trickled down his cheeks. Jihyun looked confused. "Hyung?"

"I am sorry you have to witness this at your age..," Jimin began sobbing uncontrollably. Jihyun was too shocked to say anything. It hurt him, seeing his hyung breaking down in front of him. He immediately wrapped his arms around his hyung's waist. "Hyung.... Don't cry..," the boy's voice cracked. He had never seen his hyung this broken.

Jihyun never saw his hyung being beaten up by his father. He was treated well in his dad's house.. with a condition that he had to cut all his tied with Jimin. His father did shout at him occassionally for useless things but never did he ever imagine that his own father will go this far in beating Jimin. Yesterday, he saw... Jimin being beaten black and blue. And he thought it was his fault. He was not careful while chatting with Jimin when his father saw his phone. It was his fault for getting caught.

Jihyun hugged the crying boy tightly. "Sorry hyung! I was not careful while chatting with you.. this won't have happened if I was careful," he began sobbing. Jimin knew very well... This wasn't Jihyun's fault. He could never escape from his father. "Jihyun...it..it was not your fault," the older boy pulled back from the hug and wiped his brother's cheeks. "Hyung will be sad if you cry," Jimin himself was a mess and the last thing he would want is to pull his young brother in this mess. "Aren't you happy to live with your hyung?" Jihyun cracked a small smile.

"You are hungry right?" Jimin asked. Jihyun nodded and stood up. Jimin, too, with a great difficulty managed to stand up and head towards the shelf where his backpack was kept. "Fuck," he wanted to tear his body apart. He unzipped his backpack and took out two cup noodles which he had brought from the store yesterday. Sadly, this was the only thing he had till now. Jihyun looked at Jimin quietly. Jimin noticed and flashed a smile, walking back to the kitchen to prepare the noodles.

"Do you have school today?" Jimin asked while Jihyun nodded as a "yes". Soon the cup noodles were done. "Here take it," Jimin handed one cup to his brother and went to take his luggage. "Are your books here?" The eight year old nodded. He took out his books and arranged them in his backpack. "Hyungg!! I can do that!" Jihyun shouted with a mouth full of noodles. Jimin chuckled. "Yeah sure.. I have already packed it. Do one thing.. hurry up and eat the food. You are late for school."

"Yahh! You, too, are late!" His brother shouted back. "I don't have uni today," Jimin lied. Jihyun looked at him suspiciously but went back on gulping down the noodles. After finishing it, he went to the washroom and got ready to see Jimin standing there with his backpack ready. "Be good. And there is a cup noodle. Eat it for...," His voice cracked. There was nothing except this to give Jihyun. Atleast he was fed properly in his father's house.

Jihyun understood the situation. "The cup noodles were great!!!! I'll eat one more..yayyyy!" He shouted and took his backpack with a huge smile. "I'll be back home in the noon! Don't forget to eat hyung!" He waved his hand and went outside. "Be safe!!" Jimin shouted back and smiled. His brother was always there to light up his dark world.

He looked at the wall clock. He was late, plus he didn't plan to go to the university today. He had to find a part time job which pays well. Jimin could live days without eating but now, things were different. Jihyun was living with him. He had to feed his brother as well as pay for his school fees. Unlike Jimin, there was no scholarship for his brother as he was still in school.

A loud grumble interrupted his thoughts. He realised he didn't eat dinner last night. His stomach continued growling. "Yahh... Stop it... It's not the first time you didn't eat!" He scolded his belly. He went to the kitchen and drank water. The growling somehow stopped, making him sigh.

He went to his room, pulled out a white turtle necked shirt and a black jeans. He combed his hair and looked at his image on the mirror. The same broken boy! "Fucking shit," he muttered under his breath and went out to find some job.

Meanwhile someone was sitting in the cafeteria, surrounded by his five idiot friends. His eyes were looking for someone...

"Why is he still not coming...??"
