-a sorry won't change anything | lee know-

chapter 8

I watched mum with a careful eye as Jungkook entered the house. She was sitting on a chair, drinking her twelfth beer of the day. Isn't she going to be sick? She whipped her head violently as Jungkook entered the house, holding his bags.

She ran towards him, holding onto a glass bottle filled with beer still and clashed it onto Jungkook's back.

"Where have you been?!?!"

She continued hitting on me. She took out a whip from the kitchen and was about to hit him. No, not anymore. I ran forward and hugged Jungkook, his back facing my front.

Mum released the whip and it landed on my back harshly. It stung, so bad. My breath hitched and I tried not to let out a whimper.

I couldn't see my back, but I felt blood flowing out from my skin, staining my white shirt. This, this was all what Jungkook had to go through, for me. Instantly, I felt a wave of regret hit me but I braced myself for the next whip and true enough, another whip cam down on my back.

After numerous hits on my back and arms and screams and Jungkook being petrified in my arms, she finally finished and went out to get another bottle.

I let go of Jungkook and stared at my arms, blood flowed and it painted my skin red, as If I was a tomato.

"Are you okay?" I asked looking at Jungkook.

He seemed outraged, "Okay? Shouldn't I be the one asking you?!?! How many times did I tell you, you can't get hurt. Remember, if you get hurt it'll affect your cancer. How many times have I said?!"

"Sorry" I muttered, afraid to look him in the eye.

He sensed my guilt and his eyes softened, pulling me into a hug.

"Its alright and its already been done, don't do it again okay?" he said, stroking my hair softly as I buried my face into his chest, tears streaming down and soaking his shirt, but he didn't care, he didn't budge, instead, he wrapped his arms tighter around my tiny figure, holding me close to him. I'm glad I had him, as a brother.

"Let's get those wounds disinfected alright? I promise you, once we have enough money, we'll buy a house and stay together. We won't have to live in this shithole anymore okay?" he said, letting me go. I nodded and he proceed to retrieve the first aid kid. Then, my phone beeped.

Neighbourhod squirrel:

Neighbourhood squirrel:

Oh okay, no worries

Jungkook came back with the alcohol swabs. (the good alcohol to fight germs)

"I can hear the bacterial in the alcohol fighting with the bad guys that are living in your arm." Jungkook stated.

I looked up and gave him a confused look. What?

The next day after school, I went to the café and started work.

"Sena!" I heard a familiar voice saying and I was sure it was Han.

I turned around and all the boys were present except for Changbin. "Can we get the same as what we ordered the other time?" Chan asked and I nodded. I finished cutting two slices of cake and brewing the americanos, placing them on their table.

"Sena, come join us, there aren't any other customers anyways." Felix offered, patting the seat next to him. I reluctantly did and spoke, "What have you guys been up to lately?"

"I watched 365 days." Jeongin said happily, sipping onto his coffee.

Chan and Seungmin choked on their drink and spat it at Minho. He gave them a glare and grabbed a napkin to wipe his face.

"You watched it?" Hyunjin asked, confirming.

"Every second of it. I didn't skip." Chan and Seungmin yet again choked and spat it at Minho. Minho tried to keep his cool as he grabbed another napkin, wiping his face and hair.

"Didn't I say that you could only watch Rapunzel, Mickey Mouse and Peter Pan?" Chan asked.

"I'm five hyung." Jeongin retorted.

"Sorry hyung." Seungmin apologised to Minho

Aish, these boys.

Everyone stayed silent after hearing Jeongin's news. "So..." Felix said awkwardly.

"How's you and your brother?" Seungmin asked and I replied with an alright. A customer came in and I noticed she was really pretty, had doe eyes and she seemed like a senior in my school. "Welcome, can I get you anything?"

"Oh, Hi Felix." She greeted, smiling smugly.

"Soo-Ah." They greeted with growls (this is soo-ah from the Felix ff. don't know what happened, read the Felix ff first)

"I'll get a strawberry mocha with extra whipped cream and a double chocolate cake." She said quickly, passing me the money.

"Keep the change, by the looks of it, you seem really poor. So take the change as a donation." She cackled. I felt the urge to slap her but thought again, she's a customer, don't lose your cool. I turned my back to her and began making the drink and slicing the cake. "Here you go." I said, passing her the cup and the box.

She left without a thank you and I felt annoyed. What a bitch.

"Soo-Ah, ignore her." Hyunjin said, holding onto my arm.

I winced at the sudden contact of my wound and his arm even though I was wearing a sweater. He stared at me confused and pulled my sweater up to my shoulder and gasped loudly. There it was those marks decorated beautifully by my mum.

"What are these." He asked in a low voice, staring at my arm.

"They're called scars." I said. (Scars by stray kids y'all)

By now, all those boys crowded around and kept staring at my arm. "Did you do this?" Seungmin asked. "No."

"Who did this?" han asked.

"No one, I tripped." I stated, trying to make them believe me.

"Its your mum isn't it." Minho asked, muttering. Heads shot up to his direction.

How did he know? ( I know, you know, lee know so of course Minho knows)

"I-I how did you know?" I stuttered.

"I'm right? I was just guessing." He mumbled.
