Who's The Liar? | TXT

Four : Hurt

Red, everything around him was painted red. It was blood, on his face, the floor, the whole room. A body was on the floor, lifeless. The boy lifted his hands to his face.

"D-Daddy...?" He looked around, his dad stared at him with wide eyes.

"What did you do! You killed your own mother!" He ran to the woman on the floor. Yet, his father was laughing.

"Finally the cheater is gone." The father's head whipped to where Soobin was. He ran to him, pinning him to the ground. Forcefully, the man put a bloody gun in the boy's hand.

"See you did this. It was all you. Got it?" The younger nodded while tears streamed down his face. Sirens could now be heard. The dad ran with his things out of the house. The boy was on the floor, sobbing.

5 days before the infection.

6:01 am.

Soobin woke up screaming. "NO!" Yeonjun quickly ran to the bed, immediately engulfing the younger in a hug. "It's all fine Bin, you're okay." Soobin had tears falling from his face, his small sniffles could be heard.

"It was just a nightmare, okay?" Soobin nodded quickly while burying his face into Yeonjun's chest. Yeonjun was hesitant at first but decided to bring up the topic.

"Do you want to talk about uh, yesterday?"

Soobin bit his lip, he was scared of opening up. Especially if it was about such a disturbing topic. No one in his entire school knew about his backstory, his life away from studies, why he's so sensitive.

No one except for Yeonjun. Yeonjun is Soobin's best friend. They've both known each other for years now, ever since their parents were friends. Key word, were.

Soobin has been alone for let's say a long time. He lives with his step-dad in a small condo. He doesn't really like him that much. Especially when the man gets drunk, he gets scared. It reminds him of that night.

"-obin, Binnie? Are you okay, you spaced out." Soobin nods as he let go of Yeonjun, sometimes he gets a little bit too touchy with the older.

Soobin stood up, he looked at Yeonjun. "Do you think he'll come looking for me?" Yeonjun got up as he patted Soobin's head, sure the older was shorter than Soobin but he still likes patting Soobin's soft hair.

Yeonjun smiled and ruffled it. "He doesn't know where I live Bin, you'll be fine okay?" Soobin nodded, the older was right. Yet, he was still so scared.

"I made breakfast, let's go." Soobin followed Yeonjun to the kitchen. He saw waffles and eggs, it was his favorite. Soobin's life is always exciting and happy whenever he's with Yeonjun.

The older always makes him so happy and alive. Sure, Soobin is gay but Yeonjun doesn't care. Both the boys are like brothers. They care deeply for each other. Yeonjun always likes joking around with Soobin, like about the boys in their school.

It's just a thing they do every Friday night. They wouldn't say it was like a boy's night but a girls night. Yeonjun really likes to wear crop tops and Soobin thinks it's cool. Especially since he loves how confident and powerful his hyung feels when wearing those clothes. Yeonjun isn't gay, he's actually asexual. He loves wearing those type of clothes, it makes him feel alive.

Again, Soobin didn't realize he spaced out. Yeonjun let him be though, that was until he saw Soobin's hands shaking.

"Y-Yeonjun?"

"Hm?" Soobin bit his lip as he held his plate.

"D-Do you think the world is really coming to an end?" Yeonjun shook his head. He didn't really believe the whole "we're all gonna die" kind of shit. Yeah, it scared him but he wasn't afraid of dying. Everyone dies, one day we'll all be gone from this world.

"Don't worry about that Soobin, just eat." Soobin nodded and stuffed his mouth with the waffles. Yeonjun let out a small cackle from how Soobin could fit so much food in his mouth. He looked like a bunny.

Soobin finished his waffles along with his eggs at least ten minutes later. He thanked his hyung and went back to the room. He was pretty tired, once he let himself fall on the bed he immediately fell asleep.

A little boy was crying while sitting down in the waiting room. A beautiful young lady walked up to him and sat down besides him. "Are you okay little one?" Her soft voice made him look up. She reminded him of his mother.

He shook his head as his bottom lip trembled. "M-Mommy g-got h-hurt b-because o-of m-me..." He continued to bawl his eyes out, the lady smiled at him. "Your mommy will be fine, okay?" He nodded slowly.

The boy knew better than to speak with strangers but he needed comfort. He wanted his mommy. Suddenly, the word "Code Blue" was getting yelled. Doctors, nurses, and even patients were running. The patients were panicking, they didn't know what was happening.

The boy saw all of the doctors and nurses run into his mom's room. Faint yelling could be heard from him. The lady holding him back as she too felt like breaking down by the sight of the poor boy.

Soobin woke up sweating. He fumbled in his bag and took out two small red pills, quickly drinking them with water. You see, Soobin has been taking these pills to forget all about his past. Even Yeonjun knows about them.

Although he doesn't want the younger to drink them, Soobin still does. He doesn't want to remember but he always gets nightmares about it. Soobin brought his knees to his chest and cried. He knows why his parents aren't with him, he killed his own mom. His dad ran away from pure horror. So, Soobin had to deal with the guilt from a young age.

Don't blame him, he wants to know if he could even find his dad but, part of him stops him from doing so. Maybe one day he'll finally know the truth he's been looking for.
