Broken glass

As soon as I entered my house, I was being dragged into the kitchen by my father who shoved me towards the sink causing me to knock over a glass. I watched the glass fall to the floor and break into a million pieces knowing what was to come next. "Didn't I tell you to wash your fucking dishes when you're done with them!" My father yelled.

I looked in the sink and there was nothing but one fucking plate in there and it wasn't even mine. "I'm pretty sure that's not mine." I snapped back. And just like that I was being thrown on to the floor my hand landing on all the glass. I held my hand to my chest trying not to yell out in pain and now there was blood everywhere. "Clean this mess up and do the dishes. When I come back tonight, I don't want to see any mess in this kitchen."

I watched my father walk out the door and I sat there slumped against the sink holding my bleeding hand. I slowly got up and washed the single plate in the sink with my other hand as best as I could and then swept up the glass and cleaned the blood.

I made my way up the stairs to the bathroom and sat down on the edge of the tub and pulled out the first aid kit. I pulled out the glass from my hand with tweezers as best as I could and then cleaned the wounds and wrapped my hand in a bandage. After I cleaned up the bathroom I went to my room and threw myself on the bed.

I assumed I dozed off because when I looked at my phone it was 11 at night fuck.

I still needed to do my homework but luckily, I only had a few exercises to do in math, so I pulled out my math book and notebook and started to do my homework. It made it a little extra hard considering I'm right-handed and now that hand is messed up and bandaged.

As soon as I finished, I put my stuff away and got ready for bed but before I laid down, I heard my father come crashing into the house. Another one of his drunken nights, probably something to do with work as he is currently trying to gain control of the Lee Company one of his many rivals was Mr. Lee. Every now and then I'll catch snippets of phone calls or hear him rant in one of his drunken states.

The Lee Company was one of the wealthiest and biggest Companies in all of South Korea followed by my dad's company Han Corporation. They've been rivals since the startup of the Lee Company just about 10 years ago. Before then Han Corporation was nothing to be messed with, but just in a few short months it became second in the business community.

I could hear my father downstairs breaking things and throwing shit around making loud noises almost making it impossible for me to sleep tonight especially knowing I'll have to clean up everything before I can even go to school.

Half the reason why I'm usually always late to school, and always showing up with some new bruise on my body or face making it visible. Usually, I get off with being excused as the nurse at the school use to know my mother and understood my situation.
