"Jiji hyung, where are you?" 

Chan stares at the small kid who's crying at the side of his bed, begging his brother to come back and take him with him. He seem to be shaking as he was filled with fear, sadness, and anger. 

"Reminds me of myself." Chan muttered watching at the poor kid who's struggling to move at the amount of bruises that was left at his body. 

The kid seems to be beaten up and thrown by something that left him a huge impact. His family seems to be messed up he guesses.

Just like him.

The kid was at the age of range 10-12 he guesses by the kid's innocence and actions. He seems to be weak and uncapable of anything. Chan sighs at the kid as he hates seeing that person in that state, it reminds him so much of himself. 

"Channie?" A woman's voice opened his door using the key as she bought a first aid kit before treating the kid's wounds that seems to be bleeding non stop. 

"What happened? why are you filled with bruises? where the hell is Jihoon?" She asked as the small kid seems to be 

"Noona, Jiji hyung left. M-mom threw a knife and a glass at me because Jihoon hyung was no where to be found." The kid hugs his older sister as she began hugging him tightly.

"He hates me Noona, he left because he had enough of me." The kid kept on crying as the older woman kisses his forehead before calming his brother down. 

"He's selfish, let him be. Once he comes back never accept him again." His older sister spoke as he nodded slowly, feeling all weak. 

"Ari Noona don't be like Jiji Hyung." The kid mutters as the older sister nodded understanding his brother. 

"I won't."

Chan stares at the two emotionless at he was right that the kid was him. It was a scenario from his past and it's something he wants to runaway from. 

It hurts seeing this scene once more, knowing that his brother played such a huge role in his life. If only he was given a chance to make a move, he'd destroy him as a way of his satisfaction for leaving him. 

Was Chan selfish for not considering his brother's reasons? No. Was Chan responsible for the pain he was given to suffer alone? Yes. Chan walks to the woman knowing his words won't be heard as he build up confidence before speaking. 

"Ari Noona... don't be like Jiji hyung." Chan whispers to the woman before looking at the two who seems to be helping each other. 

"Even if you already left me as well."

My eyes shot open as I sat up, trying to catch my breath. I held my neck as I could feel her hands on it, strangling me just like in that dream. 

"Chan, you're awake." Mingyu entered the room giving him a huge smile. 

"I can see that." I muttered making him roll his eyes. "Yeah." 

The room was in silence as Mingyu began to check Chan Physically for any problems or complications that he might encounter in the near future. 

"You know, if you need someone I'll be here." Mingyu spoke through the silence they were in. 

"I know." I said as he chuckles.

"You know but you won't ask for help? why? is it because you were taught to suffer all alone? Chan, we're brothers. No secrets." 

Mingyu smiled before speaking once more. "You can start training by later or tomorrow, Jun isn't home so you can start tomorrow." 

Chan stares at Mingyu with wide eyes before raising his eye brows. "Where?" Chan asks.

"He wouldn't say." Mingyu said as Chan nodded as he remembers the address that was written at the paper which was given by his grandmother. 

"i see, is Jihoon hyung here?" Chan asks smiling. "Yeah, in his room." 

"Oh, I'll see him first. It's important." Chan bids his good bye to the puppy faced tree before proceeding to his room. 

He then knocked three times before entering the room to see Jihoon Strangling Soonyoung with one hand. His eyes widen as he was quickly noticed by the two who seems embarrassed.

"Chan, what brings you here?" Jihoon quickly composes himself pushing Soonyoung to the bed as he stood up walking towards Chan. 

"Am I disturbing something?" Chan asks as Soonyoung was could be seen nodding, giving hand signals which Chan seems to be embarrassed to know what they were about to do. 

"I'm sorry." Chan mutters as Jihoon chuckles. 

"No problem, Soonyoung just needed attention." Rolling his eyes, Soonyoung smirk as he could see Chan's face red. 

"Next time, wait for us to open. You might see something even more." Soonyoung chuckles before Jihoon glared at the hamster like man.

"I apologize fore him, anyways what is it?" Jihoon said as he was handed a paper. 

"Can you drive me to this address?" Chan asks as Jihoon stares at it. "It seems quite far but sure, Soonyoung will join if that's okay." 

"Yeah, as long as you don't eat each other on the car." Chan said giving them a small smile as the two eyes widen at Chan's words, turning red feeling embarrassed as they weren't expecting him to say such a thing.

"Fuck you Chan!" Soonyoung shouted playfully making Chan laugh "Fuck yourselves, See you too downstairs." He shouted running downstairs. 

"Soonyoung, watch your mouth. He's a kid." 

"He's your brother." Soonyoung said making Jihoon sigh. "He doesn't know that and if he does, I'll be killed." Jihoon muttered. 

"Don't worry, let's get ready. Chan is waiting." Soonyoung stood up before grabbing the towel at Jihoon's Chair. He stairs at his boyfriend who seems to be thinking of something he doesn't seem to understand. 

"Hey, is it about him mentioning Ari Noona? You don't have to go if you don't feel like it. I can do it myself." Soonyoung suggested as Jihoon quickly denied his offer. 

"No, I'll come." He whispers hugging the hamster like man. 

"Ari Noona made you suffer from home to the adoption center and no one ever listened to your side love. Don't feel guilty to Chan, I know it hurts but he'll know the truth eventually and let's both hope it'll be better." 

Soonyoung spoke slowly as he tried comforting his boyfriend who's in tears. They were together for a long time and during those times, Jihoon didn't regret trusting this hamster.

"No one listened but you." Jihoon muttered making Soonyoung chuckle.

"And I'll make sure that I'll always be there to listen to you." 

The two smiled before parting away from the hug, chuckling at the amount of skinships they had done in this day. Jihoon isn't a showy person but for Soonyoung, he's willing to be one. 

"It'll be all okay soon, don't worry." Soonyoung muttered, leaving him a quick peck before going to the bathroom to get ready for Chan's request.

"yeah, hopefully it does."
