Know and feel

"You sleep walk?!" Eunice shrieked, waking some of the boys up as she sat infront of the youngest member of the group, carefully dabbing a cotton swab on the girl's wound.

"I'm sorry..." June winced.

"No...Meri, you don't need to..., look I'm not scolding you....you never told us you sleep walk...." Eunice tried, looking at the girl who refused to look at her.

"What's wrong?" Heeseung yawned, walking out of the boys' shared room. He stopped when he saw the wound on June's leg, "how did that happen so early in the morning?" He asked in shock.

"I'm sorry." June quietly mumbled.

Eunice sighed, looking at the girl sadly, "would it be okay for me to tell the others?" She asked June in a whisper. June stared at Heeseung for a while before shaking her head.

"How did she get hurt? It's 4 in the morning, why are you both up?" Heeseung asked sternly.

"Uh, we were coming downstairs because we both accidentally woke up early, and then uh, she sort of scratched her leg on the edge of the staircase railing." Eunice lied.

"I heard..... someone....yell...is everything okay?" Jake asked, yawning aswell.

"Yeah. Everything's fine. You both go back to sleep, we'll just sit around here." Eunice smiled.

Heeseung gave them an unsure look before going back.

"How long have you been doing this....?" Eunice asked, handing the youngest a small bowl of ice-cream, making sure Jay doesn't catch them.

"I don't really know. I think It was around when I was seven....." June said, spoon halfway into her mouth.

"Did you see a doctor or something?"

"No.....mum and dad......they took me to a priest instead and did exorcism on me. The pastor was confused because I guess he felt nothing on me or whatever, I don't know, he asked me about it and I asked him to convince my parents that I am cleansed and fine. Ever since that, I tie myself to sleep." June sniffled.

"What the.....why are you still under your parents' guardianship again?" Eunice grumbled.

June wondered the same. The girl never found as much love from her overly religious and status blind parents. Everything she did was considered a sin and disgrace to the family, she wasn't even allowed to be a child, but she escaped the hell hole of her house with the help of her aunt and cousin brother who lived in Korea.

She shared everything with Eunice that night, from how her parents do not want her back ever since she ran away at the age of eleven. June was scared that if the members will get to know about her problems they will find her weird just like her family, her brother, her old friends.

"They never took me to a doctor when I had anxiety attacks. My mother....s-she would just lock me up in a room saying I'm making a scene. She said I was a nightmare and a mistake because I was never upto their expectations" June cried. "When I needed her to hug me, tell me everything is fine." She said , wiping away her tears with her sleeves. Scooping up a spoonful of icecream she shoved it in her mouth to gulp down the growing lump in her throat.

"They never cared about my feelings. Nearly fixed an weird engagement with one of our family friends' son. Weird boy, has this look in his eyes that would make you wanna punch him." June leaned back.

"Not once throughout my time with them did I feel wanted. Whenever I'd call them out my mother- s-she would cry and act as if I was the one who slapped the shit out of her just because I dropped a glass bottle....she would always treat my older brother so nicely and give all my favourite candies to him after my so called birthday parties telling how I'll grow fat and unhealthy if I had them. What kid is not allowed to have a candy on her birthday?!" She sobbed.
