You Never Walk Alone

Chapter 7

To Hoseok, it felt like he was drowning in an bottomless ocean, the water left a burning sensation on his face, the boy trashed around more but eventually he got tired and just silently laid there on the torture table, getting waterboarded for however long Suecheon wanted.

Finally, after 1 hour and 30 minutes, the man decided to stop the torture, as soon as the restraints were undone, the seven-year-old ran upstairs to his mother's room.

Namra was woken up by Hoseok's frantic shaking, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the tear-stained face of her son, which sent her panicking.

"What's wrong hobi?" She asked, carefully cupping her son's face and wiping away the tears.

"D-dad g-gave m-me th-e wat-er pu-nishme-nt b-beca-use I-I w-was d-dan-cing..." Hoseok said in between sobs.

"What?!" Namra exclaimed as she quickly got out of bed and ran downstairs.

"BAEK SUCHEON, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HOSEOK?!" The woman exploded as she entered the living room where the culprit was enjoying some drama on the TV.

"Good morning to you too." Suecheon replied non-chalantly.

"WHY DID YOU PUNISH HIM FOR DANCING?!" Namra yelled.

"If he wastes all his time on dancing then he won't study and get good marks, which is utterly unacceptable." Suecheon said.

"God, Suecheon, he's a child, a seven-year-old child, who cares what grades he gets at such a young age?!" Namra questioned, trying her best to restrain herself from swearing at her husband in front of her son.

"Well I do care and I don't want my sons' grades to drop." Suecheon replied, "Besides, I already waterboarded him so why are you getting mad now?"

Namra's blood was boiling but she decided that they could fight later, when she didn't have to be cautious of her words in fear of accidentally swearing in front of Hoseok, she kneeled in front of the seven-year-old and cupped his cheek with one hand and patted his shoulder with the other.

"I'll take care of him later." She whispered in his ear, "Let's go wake up your brothers or else you guys will be late for school."

Yoongi and Taehyung's screams of pain and terror filled the air as they were beaten with a belt, the gashes on their backs were bleeding as the beatings continued, Chung-doh had snapped today, something had gone wrong at his company and he was taking his anger out on the two boys.

Just then the doorbell rang, before Chung-doh could retract his hand along with the belt, the door was opened by the housekeeper and in walked in two figures.

"H-headmi-str-ess n-noo-na? H-he-adma-ster h-hyu-ng?" Yoongi mumbled in confusion before he passed out from the blood loss.

A/N:

Sorry for the short chapters, I am trying to make more lengthy chapters but it's difficult, anyways, what excuse do I have for not updating for like eons? I had gone on a trip and I could not take my laptop with me and my phone's keyboard is broken because I cannot write more than a sentence without it glitching, thus, not being able to write anything. I apologise for the messed up updating schedule I have, I do not know when it will improve. 

Bye for now,
