Iced Heart || Park Sunghoon ✔️

Chapter 51

        "From the top, again"

    Sunghoon's coach exclaimed as he had his arms crossed, with an unpleasant look on his face. This is probably the 5th time in a row he wants Sunghoon to start from the top again. Sunghoon lifted up his hand as a signal to stop the music.

"What is wrong with you? You look too distracted," said his coach as soon as he arrived at the ice rink's gate. He walked outside before taking a seat on the bench. He's obviously worn out, and his coach didn't even realize it...

"I'm sorry....it's just I'm lacking rest. Do you think it is a good idea to train until midnight?" said Sunghoon while trying to catch his breath.

"Of course! With this kind of consistency, you will be the most powerful skater, Sunghoon. You know that, keep it up," he said and patted Sunghoon's shoulder. Sunghoon slowly nodded.

"I'll give you a 5-minute rest, then continue," he said before walking away.

Sunghoon doesn't feel like himself. He feels so drowsy even since this morning. He sighed and thought that he might need a glass of water. He wiped his sweat using a clean towel before approaching the coway. Feeling kind of freshened up after drinking, but still, he still felt drowsy. He placed the cup on top of the coway and rested his head, but suddenly he felt a pat on his shoulder.

"Sorry coach I—" he stopped his sentence when he realized that it wasn't his coach.

"Sunghoon, are you okay?" asked Migyung worriedly while holding his shoulders.

He immediately yanked her hands away and looked around. She was shocked when Sunghoon did that.

"Migyung....you have to go. What if my coach sees you? And why is he here?" Sunghoon said while pointing at Heeseung.

"Why? I can't bring your brother along?"

Sunghoon's expression changed when Migyung said that. He looked at Heeseung and walked towards him.

"What were you doing? You told her? I said I don't want anything to do with you! Why are you being so annoying!" he pushed Heeseung making him fall to the ground. Migyung was about to help him until Sunghoon pulled her by her wrist.

"What did he tell you? What did he do to make you believe him?" he tightened his grip on Migyung's wrist.

"S-Sunghoon i-it hurts," she tried to get away from his grip but he was too strong.

"What are you guys doing here? Yah you! Why are you still bothering Sunghoon?" suddenly his coach came, holding a snack bar. He pushed Migyung away from Sunghoon.

"Go away! He's resting, don't make him distracted!" said his coach. Migyung looked at Heeseung as she gave him a signal that she doesn't want to go.

"Here," the coach handed Sunghoon the snack bar that he was holding. Migyung saw it and noticed that it's supposed to be lunchtime by now, she was so curious. Why is he eating a snack bar for lunch?

"You're eating a snack bar? Have you eaten lunch?" Migyung asked.

"I-I—"

"He's busy and barely has time. At least I got him something to eat, now go," said his coach.

"No! You're torturing him," Heeseung spoke and got up on his feet.

"Why do you care?" Sunghoon asked.

"Because I'm your brother—"

"You're not!"

"I'm f*cking am!"

Sunghoon lost his patience and punched Heeseung in the face. Migyung screamed and pushed Sunghoon away with all of her strength.

"Why are you defending him? Is he.....did you cheat on me?"

"What? No Sunghoon I would never do that!" Migyung was so offended by him. How could he say that.

"Of course you would. I know you've always wanted a guy who has everything......and I don't. Now you met Heeseung, he has everything. I'm just a pathetic guy who just lost his mom and having a brother who is selfish! Just like his father!"

"Sunghoon—," Heeseung tried to speak but his sentence got cut.

"No....go back to your dad..."

"You never give me a chance to explain—"

"No! Because of you and dad, me and mom suffer! Dad never gave us anything! It's like we didn't even exist! I'm done suffering! And you would never—"

"Sunghoon stop!" Heeseung yelled as the sound resonated around the silent building.

Sunghoon went quiet. He still has his angry expression plastered on his face.

"Park Sunghoon.....I.....was f*cking abused by dad!" Heeseung said.

Sunghoon's expression changed. He was either shocked or confused. He didn't say anything and just looked at Heeseung.

"You thought dad treated me the way I want, but no......NO! he tortured me! That's why....I regretted choosing dad! That was my mistake!" Heeseung approaches him.

"I don't believe you....." Sunghoon said and clenched his fist.

Heeseung sighed and unbuttoned his shirt. He undressed himself, now he's only wearing his pants. There are scars and bruises all over his body. He turns around and gave Sunghoon the 'are you satisfied' look. Sunghoon shook his head and went to him. Now, he was really shocked to see Heeseung's bruised body. Migyung looks away, trying to avoid herself from crying.

"He....did this to you....?" Sunghoon asked.

"Mhm....every time I came home.....there must be at least one new scar....."

"And I didn't fight...because if I do.....you know.....dad is alcoholic. He could do anything to satisfy himself," Heeseung explained.

It looks like Sunghoon was about to say something, but suddenly he couldn't balance himself. His head felt dizzy, and his ears are ringing and hissing making him cover his ears. Heeseung who realized it quickly grabbed on Sunghoon before he collapsed in his arms.

"Migyung! Sunghoon fainted!" Heeseung exclaimed.

Migyung gasped and turned around. Tears began to fall as she quickly cupped Sunghoon's cheeks.

"Sunghoon! Are you okay? Sunghoon please!"

"Wake up!"

"No!"
