OUTCAST CHAPTER: EIGHT
"I hope, one day you're as happy as you're pretending."
"Eun!" Mai called out to Eun, still sleeping, the side of her neck had a deep cut, but fortunately, it wasn't the pressure point, yet she lost blood. "Ff, seriously, you guys don't let a person sleep in peace!" The doctor in the resting room shouted as he was sleeping. "Seriously, Augus, You're sleeping there when a person almost died?!" Augus looked up, "who almost died?" Mai let out a sigh. "Eun, Eun Areum." Augus looked at Eun sleeping with wide eyes, "No! No, no, no no, EUNIE!! WAKE UP!" Augus shouted at the top of his voice. Eun was his cousin, and he saw her as a younger sister, he was too attached to her. "Augus, please keep that loud-pitched voice down!" Eun scolded as she sat up. Augus hugged her, "My baby Lil sis, why'd you have to do all this crazy stuff?" Mai's eyes widened. "Look at him! Look at him! He was acting all angry before and now so cringey!" Augus shot glares into Mai's eyes, "Augus! I can't with the both of you, I'm going!" Mai spoke as she made her way out of the resting room. "Brother, please control yourself at times, I'm not dead yet, so it's okay," Eun assured Him as he smiled. "I've promised your mother to take care of you like my own sister, That's the only reason, I'm being this sensitive. I hope it's not annoying you." Augus spoke, "W-what?! No! It doesn't, I love that protective side of yours, I just am simply teasing you!" Eun laughed. "Hey! Not so rude!" Augus complained Eun laughed, loud, clapping her hands, Augus smiled warmly seeing her smile.
Jung was now in the padded cell, The whole room was sickeningly white. The brightness that shot through the small glass didn't make it any better. The walls were padded with some kind of white cushions, as well as the floor. There was a white mattress in the corner and a white blanket on top of it. There was a bean bag, if you tried to harm yourself, that would be impossible. Jung was sitting motionless in the cell, his hands chained with the chains which appeared to have no locks. His legs were chained too. Eun and Augus were watching from the glass circle on the door.
"Does he deserve to stay in the cell?" Eun spoke, "Of course, he tried to self-harm himself, and harmed you too." Augus spoke. "Hmm, Very well then, I Hope it doesn't go to the point where we'll have to put a straitjacket on him," Eun replied. "Poor Environment, that's all I can say," Augus spoke. "Why so?" "It wasn't his fault, he wasn't dreaming he'd be like this, He's only a child, in an age where you try to be like adults while being in the mindset of a child, everything is so confusing. He got too lonely, and that led him to create Del, But Del was his loneliness and depression, She sang that song, That song is actually a selfish song. Lavender's blue. Life of a king, luxury, love. He didn't know how to control it, so she fed on his anger, pain, sadness, and revenge, he pent it in his heart, she became his bottle, he never realised that the bottle would break once it was over its capacity. So the fault goes to his environment, Poor boy never knew, and no one cared. Everyone took it as a simple joke, Nothing more nothing else, Guess what? That's true. You never know the value of something only when it's gone, taken away." Augus spoke, and Eun nodded, she knew it was true, A murder's child isn't actually a murder, it's his surroundings that change him, for the better or the worse. "You seem to study a lot," Eun smiled, "I do study. I love subjects like these." Augus spoke, Eun chuckled, "Oh, why so serious?" Eun mocked the tone of the clown in 'joker'. "The guy in the joker film is also mentally unstable. Also what about him? Is he alright?" Augus spoke, referring to Eun's patient back at home. "Oh, don't you worry, I did get scared a lot at first, but he's calm, he just freaked out. He's a nice lad, I like him a lot from all my patients." Augus scoffed. "you say that for every patient you come through." Eun smiled. "I do,"

"Well Jung, how do you feel now?" Eun asked, sitting on the bean bag. "I'm finnerm." Jung replied dryly. No more happiness, no peace, no nothing, he was not fine. "You're lying Jung, Tell me the truth, How do you feel now?" Eun spoke. "You knomw howj othag I feeothagl you knothagw, I'm nothageot fothagine! I'm in paothain, she is kiotthangilling me! I can't beothatgeare anothageymore.!" Jung screamed. "Pleothagease, Leothageave me alothagone." Jung spoke, As Eun made her way out.

"Jung's condition just worsens, He keeps being very violent, I don't know what to do anymore, The poor boy is only 13, The coming December 23rd is his birthday, And the boy's parents filed a... Disownment file, They said they don't want a schizophrenic child, and that'll ruin their reputation. It seems that they were just acting, that they were actually worried for the kid. Why? Why pretend and do such things?" Eun spoke over the phone, after coming back from work. She was researching and checking the schizophrenic problems, she wanted to know more. "Oh, honey I'm so sorry. I know how bad you feel.." Mrs Eun Or Eun's adopted mother spoke. "After Dal's and Your mother's death you always felt bad for people with schizophrenia, I hope he recovers soon, Love you, my child!"
"Eun~ Eun! Dal wants to play with you!" Dal called out. It was rare. She rarely was calm, she suffered from schizophrenia and a bit of bipolar disorder., Eun was scared, after her mother's death., The only person she was close to was Mrs Eun and Augus. "Please, sister, go away! I don't want to play with you!" Eun spoke. Dal's eyes darkened, and she grabbed Eun's neck and pressed. "Play with me or else." Eun nodded. Dal let go and started smiling like a 5-year-old. She and Eun played together, Dal would get violent at times and hurt Eun, But Eun Loved her sister, after all, She was the only person reminding her mother, Yes, Dal was Eun's real sister. So Eun endured it., Until one day, Dal couldn't take the pain. She didn't want to hurt anyone, So she took her own life. She sliced her neck, the Pressure point. And that's when Eun came home from school, Only to see Dal on the floor, colourless, In a pool of blood, dead. Only Mrs Eun and Augus know how much she cried that day.
"Love brings many things, everything, sometimes even pain." - Mai
