Time and Fallen Leaves :: jeongcheol

TAFL :: 61

*jeonghan*

i shouted seungcheol's name once i had witnessed how my dads knuckles landed exactly at seungcheols face and ive also seen how he fell on the floor due to how much force dad had threw on him. when i went to where seungcheol was to help him stood up, the range inside of me had boiled in no time seeing how seungcheol's side of his lips was bleeding already that had me jerked my head to my dad whose being held by my mom at his back tryna making him calm down.

my dads jaw clenched even more. "stop looking at me like that yoon jeonghaㅡ"

"if you dont want me to look at you like this then dont you ever dare do the same thing you did to seungcheol!" i dont know where i was coming from nor what made me shout at them like this, but the thing inside of me was too much that i needed to let this out.

father was about to threw a punch on me that i didnt even move to protect myself nor to dodge it because i was expecting that to happen, i was seeing those to happen but he got halted when jiwon blocked herself that made our father stop from what he supposed to do. he shouted and commanded jiwon to stay back and move but my sister didnt move an inch as she even shook her head. it was my opportunity to help seungcheol stood up already and once we did, i held his hand tight then i jerked my head to my father and glared at him once again.

"one more time you do it to seungcheol, i would disown you as my own parents." then i dragged seungcheol with my pace, ready to leave this suffocating area. "excuse me." and i purposely bumped my shoulders into my fathers shoulder and glared at him for the last time before we moved away from them.

"yoon jeonghan!"

i didnt pay attention and had the guts to look back at him no matter how loud he shouted my name as i made my way out of this venue with seungcheol at my back. people was looking at me. . i mean at the two of us because for sure they have seen what my dad had started plus for sure they have the idea already kung ano kami and what was the reason why did that commotions happened. i just didnt mind them and pulled seungcheol with me out of this venue.

seungcheol wasnt holding back my hand up until we're already walking at the seashore and you couldn't hear any but a muffled noise from the vehicles not too far from here and the sound of how the water from the ocean touches the sand. the night was so dark and solemn, moon was hiding beneath the thick clouds that the only thing you could see is how much it glows. there was no boat nor cruise ship nearby and there were only few tourists around.

we stopped by at the same spot we stayed last night when he first met my parents and knew how strict they were. i felt bad for myself that i let my parents treat and looked at seungcheol like that when im seeing him different from what my parents are seeing him. ibang iba si seungcheol sa iniisip nila, nor even to the way jiwon thought about him. may ganon pala talagang klase nang tao, that they judge you kahit hindi ka naman nila kilala. . and i felt so small for myself because sariling pamilya ko yung ganong tao.

"i-im sorry."
