Park Aera POV
"I'm fine hayeon..." I said for the umpteenth time.
Hayeon kept asking me the same question, stressed as I told her what had happened at school today. It was night 9:00 as I spoke to her.
"I shouldn't have left.....but then my parents wouldn't agree since my dad got his company moved...." hayeon my childhood friend said from the other end of the call.
She was my only friend in my whole life. I couldn't ask for a better friend than her. She always took care of me like a elder sister. We studied together till 10th grade until she decided to move to China... her mom is a Chinese but very fluent In korean. She has been blaming herself for leaving and not protecting me from this "troublemakers" in school.
I sighed again.
"Hayeon.....dont blame yourself....it's just a mere problem it will be fine..." I said calmly smiling.
"But still-" she started but decided it Wouldn't get her anywhere so she just sighed instead.
"I know you won't listen but Are you REALLY sure about not moving in with me?" She said with a concern filled tone.
"I-i said you already didn't I.....i-im f-fine here...h-he doesn't d-do anything anymore j-just drinks I guess" I cursed myself for stuttering.
"Your stuttering...come on we both know it's not getting better.........but nevertheless if this is your decision I won't question it.....I just....I just want you to be safe and happy....promise that will you?" her words were somehow comforting.
She knew everything about me.....all my secrets....all my habits like how I stutter when I lie, how I bite my lips when I'm nervous and fiddle my hands....or like how my ears turn red when I'm embarrassed or shy.
She was like my blood sister.....the only I person I believed.
"I promise.........Thanks for understanding hayeon-ah..I love you" I said looking at the white ceiling above the white bed I slept above now.
"I love you too!!! bye! take care..." she said and hung up as I look above , the stars and moon that was attached , it was something my dad for me when I was just 2 years old or that's what I heard.
I felt my phone vibrate getting me out of my thoughts. I checked it to see a text.
Text : from hayeonie~~♡♡
Hayeonie~~♡♡ : i forgot to tell you in the call.....guess who made bacons....well once bacons now burnt....-.-
Seen
I just laughed at the text remembering how she almost burnt down the kitchen once they tried to make caked which resulted in her being covered with black smoke.
I was going to reply when a loud thud from the front door was heard.
I sighed.
He was here.
Third Person POV
As aera prayed for it not to happened, it happened....the usual.
He entered her room and dragged her to the kitchen once again blaming her for the death of her mother .....
"Its all because of you!!!! If it was not for you... she would have been here......dad would have been here....I could have have living a richer and better life after taking over his company!!!!! But he didn't and left me here with you!!!!! A burden-" he paused to throw a wine bottle at the now crouched aera near the wall.
She had slid down the wall and covered her eyes not being able to take in all he said .....though it was a same everyday her mental just got worse.
But she never sheded a tear. She didn't want to. She wasn't that weak. And if she showed him she was weak then God knows what he could do with her, probably kill her at the worst.
She hadn't done it......she was just 5years old when it had happened. She didn't mean to do it. She was just walking towards the road and she was far too young to notice when to cross a road. Her mom who was talking with someone realised the absence of her child who was now about to get hit by a truck.
She saved her but she died.
That's what aera had heard atleast. For the little girl didn't know what happened when she saw her mom lying In a white bed in the hospital, all pale.
Her thoughts were cut of by the glass bottle he threw that her left arm making it bleed. She winced it pain but gritted her teeth to be quiet..
She never said anything back at him. Cause she felt she was at fault too and she was a burden to him. He had to go to work now so they could survive for a living (not like he took care of her anyways). She always made their food and wore just old shirts and jeans. That's all she had and she was thankful for it.
He came and yanked her hair towards the wall before slapping her face with force. He called her cruel, monster and so many things with fury but she always looked down.
She waited for him to finish.
After some time his words were mulled and he slowly started making his way to his room and went into a deep slumber.
She exhaled shakily and got up difficulty trying not to move her now bruised left arm. Her head ached. And her cheek was now read , there was a little blood near her lips.
She slowly started moving towards her room and aiding herself.
The world was cruel according to her.
She didn't know what to feel.
Pity for her brother? Angry? Hate ? Love? Guilt? Regret?
She was numb at this rate....
Whatever it was....she wanted it to stop. She wanted to live normal. She wanted to live happy. She wanted to live a life where she didn't have to worry about coming home after 6 just to be beaten up by her brother.....where she didn't have to always be alert for the sound of her brother coming through the door so she could hide or where she didn't have to be so lonely anymore...where she had a person waiting for her and welcome her home with love.
Sure she craved for parental love but I guess it was too much to ask for.
That's why she is eagerly waiting and wants to meet her soulmate as soon as possible.
Her soulmate would wash of all the sorrow she held with her and Live happily. She waited for that day....
What she didn't know was that she would encounter that day sooner than she had expected.
