"TELL ME WHAT YOU MISS AND YOU ACT THAT WAY"

There was absolute silence in the room.

A soft wind made the flower-patterned curtain move rhythmically while the sun was diving and made the sky have a beautiful orange colour.

But the clime that  maintained in the room was in total contrast with the peace outside.

The middle-aged man's hand collided with great force above the young boy's soft cheek while the boy bit his lips to not let the small teardrops fall.

The young student turned his head a bit just to see his mother standing on the edge of the kitchen and wiping her tears away with a tissue.

This moment looks like a tragic scene in a play.

The desperate protagonist was kneeling on the floor and was looking at the white tiles that seemed to be brighter than his future.

And in front of him, his father was looking at him with a disappointed look in his eyes, murmuring random words.

It was so ironic: The two men's faces might look so similar, yet their complicated personalities are so different.

"Speak, you idiot! Tell me, what do you miss and behave that way?" The boy's father asked and touched his messy brown hair.

"It's not that I did something great" the boy squealed and looked without any clue of shame at the confused man.

"Nothing great? You burned your school's gym. You've been kicked out of almost every school in the city because you always decide to burn something. Can you believe that there's no school left for you to enrol... except one."

"NO, WE ARE NOT GOING TO ENROLL THE KID IN THAT CURSED SCHOOL!" A woman's voice said and the boy turned his head around.

The pretty young woman hugged tightly her son and the kid could feel her shaky breath.

It was like their souls were connected and they both experienced the same pain at the same time.

"Nari stop treating him that way. That's why he turned out like this. We got another 4 kids to feed and we're not going to waste our time with Yeonjun's shit" The father said and walked away from his son.

"That's it. Tomorrow, I'll enrol you at Byung-ho High and I won't accept any resistors." The man said and sat in a wooden chair while his wife was hugging even more tightly her son.

All of a sudden, just like a miracle, a sweet voice spoke, that ended up helping in the end of the ongoing fight.

Everyone turned around to see where is this voice coming from and their stare was at the young five-year-old girl that just woke up and entered the kitchen.

"What happened, Mom?" The little girl said full of questions while her tiny silhouette showed up at the kitchen door.

Her eyes were shining and contrasted with the red dress she was wearing. After playing with her hair stand, she looked puzzled at her older brother and pouted her red lips.

"My brother, what happened?"The girl asked full of cuteness while showing the boy's red cheek.

"Nothing Doti, I just fell at school. Why aren't you sleeping?" The boy asked to avoid the topic and looked into his sister's eyes.

"Why are you upset?" Doti asked for once again and her father sighed in annoyance.

"We're upset 'cause your brother writes us on his- old shoes." The man said and the teenager punched his stomach to stop himself from crying.
