sungjae 15ten years, yes, ten whole years had passed by in a blink of an eye. the family of nine, seemed to all great until one day.
the sun rays in the morning hits the boys face, as he groans and opens his eyes. "rise and shine, sungjae-ya, its time for school" eunkwang smiles at the boy, earning a very angry side eye in response. "stop bombastic side-eyeing eunkwang-hyung and get your ass ready for school". ilhoon chuckles leaving the room.
"fuck you..." sungjae says stretching in bed. "watch your language" eunkwang glares. "but-but... hyung—" he was cut off when eunkwang kept glaring. "fine..." he grumbles.
eunkwang leaves the room as sungjae sits on his bed rubbing his eyes. groggily getting of bed he makes his way to the bathroom to do his daily routine.
in the kitchen, minhyuk wearing a white formal shirt and a tie, starts the stove. "changsub get the eggs" the said boy gets the eggs and hands them to minhyuk.
"boys, everyone at the table!" arin yells.
the seven of them get seated waiting to be served. "eomma!! its only 6am, why did you make us wake up so early" peniel whines. "you will be late for your schools and jobs otherwise" arin states, making them go silent and eat their food.
after finishing their breakfast they all run out the door, some into dad's car and some to their own car to get to work. the whole drive in dad's car was silent, peniel playing his phone, ilhoon reading a book and sungjae peacefully sleeping.
"alright boys have fun at school" jinseok gave a smile to the three of them, to which sungjae gave a glare. "drive safely appa" ilhoon smiled back, before jokingly smacking sungjae in the back of his head.
"bye losers" peniel bids goodbye to his brothers as he goes to another building. "sungjae-ya" ilhoon starts, to which the latter hums in response. "are they still bothering you?" ilhoon says with concern in his eyes, sungjae looks down, as if his shoes are the most interesting thing. huffing with anger, ilhoon grabs him by the arm, "im going to make them pay for hurting you"
suddenly a girl, slim and tall stood in-front of sungjae "hey, sungjae!" she greated. "uh-uh hi... soo-young-ah" sungjae greeted back, avoiding eye contact. the girl looked at ilhoon, who was fuming. "uh sorry for interupting..." she said before going her own way.
peniel stood in the corridor of his college building, looking out the window that has the view of ilhoon and sungjae's school. he watched as ilhoon dragged sungjae by the arm to a group of boys. "oh no, this can't be good" he thought to himself panicking "screw it, i don't care if i get late" he ran through the crowds of students, down the stairs. he ran as fast as he could to his two younger brothers.
"STOP" he screeched, standing in-front of his brothers defending them, "think before you touch them, you might end up in a bad position" peniel threatened.
"hah, this bitch brought his brothers today" the leader of the bully gang, jackson, chuckled. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CALLING A BITCH" ilhoon snapped, stepping infront of peniel and throwing a fist at jackson's face. the chinese boy grimaced in pain.
everything was too fast for sungjae to comprehend, before he knew it, bambam, punched him in the gut. from the force, the boy went flying his back hitting the lockers, he groaned in pain.
"SUNGJAE" peniel and ilhoon screamed. anger blinding him, peniel, threw the hardest punch he could at bambam "guys... s-st—" sungjae tried to speak, but his body seemed to have no energy. "sungjae..." he heard a gasp from female voice before he lost conscious.
"sungjae-ya, wake up, please..." the girl, sooyoung, pleaded with the latter in her arms. peniel and ilhoon attention both went on to their younger brother. a teacher walked into the scene, "jackson, you and your gang to the principals office, NOW!" he demanded before, kneeling in-front of sooyoung, inspecting the unconscious boy. "we should bring him to the hospital" he says calling an ambulance.

minhyuk parks his car at the parking lot, locking his car before entering the building. greeting his colleagues, he made his way to his desk. "mr. minhyuk boss wants to see you" mrs. irene said, before going back to her work. "ugh, what does that man want" he thought getting up from his desk.
knocking on the door he entered, "yes, mr. bangchan?". the said man turns around in his chair, "i heard you been wanting a month off, so im giving you it. you're break starts tomorrow" the man smiles. "oh my God! thank you so much sir!" minhyuk bows showing respect, smiling. he exits the room and does a little victory dance. "you're behavior, is so ugh" hyunjin, gives him a judging look before walking away. minhyuk just smiles and goes back to he's desk.
he continued his work until lunch break. "that old man finally decided to give you a break, huh?" seungmin says, sitting in front of him. the latter chuckles before replying "cmon man he's the same age us both, he isn't that old". "half 50, very old" seungmin laughs.
"can i join you two?" irene asks, "of course" seungmin and minhyuk answers together. "jeogyo noona hokshi namja chingu isseyo" han jokingly says, earning a hit from irene. "noona already has a namja chingu" she chuckles looking at minhyuk, locking their fingers together. "EOMMA EOMMA GAWD, AM I SEEING IT CORRECTLY" changbin says covering his mouth in shock.
minhyuk only shyly smiles. suddenly his phone starts ringing, fishing his phone out, he looks at the caller. 'sungjae's school' it read. "hello?" he spoke, everyone at the table's attention was on him. "what?!" he almost yells in shock. "okay, i'll be right there!" he says hanging up. "what happened?" irene asks concerned.
"sungjae is in the hospital" he says, abruptly getting up and leaving. followed by irene. seungmin, han and changbin all sat there in shock. "brother love is no joke" han says.
getting into his car, ringing eunkwang and telling him the situation. "i'll go with you" irene says entering the passenger seat. driving to the hospital at high speed.
once he arrived, he runs to counter. "how may i help you?" the nurse asks. "yook sungjae" he says trying to catch his breath. "room 127–" "thank you" he runs, finding the room, followed by irene. when he found the room, he took a deep breath before entering. he saw peniel and ilhoon sitting near the window as he walked in farther he saw sungjae laying on the white hospital bed, still unconscious.
minhyuk sighs, "irene, stay with sungjae, you two come with me". he exits the room followed by ilhoon and peniel not far behind. he stops, running a hand through his hair and turns to the two. "what exactly happen?" he asks in a calm tone. ilhoon looks down and peniel looks to a different direction. "im not mad guys, just explain" minhyuk asks with a bit of inpatience in his voice.
peniel decides to explain "theres this group of bullies in sunggie and ilhoon's school, they for some reason always targets sungjae. so ilhoonie got mad... and decided to confront them, i went to stop him since i witnessed it. they provoked ilhoon, and he punched their leader jackson" ilhoon stiffles a laugh remembering jackson's red face. peniel gives him a glare before continuing. "before i could comprehend what happened, bambam came and punched sunggie in the guts... and the force made him fly, and hit the lockers. not even seconds later he passed out in sooyoung's... arms..." he ends coughing after mentioning the girl's name.
"sungjae was being bullied and neither of you told me or your hyungs?" minhyuk asks worry filling his eyes. "i'll tell changsub to talk to the school about this" he concludes.
"wheres sungjae" eunkwang asks behind him changsub and hyunsik stood trying to catch their breath. peniel points at the door, they all enter the room again.
minhyuk explains what happened and they all were furious to find out what their youngest had been going through.
still loving right? im just giving you guys time to see the calmness before the storm...
