You Never Walk Alone

Chapter 35

!TW: Mentions of S.A and rape¡

Ae-cha wanted Namra to speed through the streets, there was this horrible feeling in her gut telling her something bad had happened back at the mansion, but unfortunately, Name absolutely refused to step on the gas.

"We'll be taking a five minute stop at Da-hee's house to pick her up, so have some patience, got it?" Namra ordered as she turned a corner.

Ae-cha replied with a nod, they reached Da-hee's mansion that was twice as big as the Baek's, Namra honked the car a couple of times and then Da-hee walked out.

"What about them?" Ae-cha asked as Da-hee got in the backseat and buckled up.

"They're good with staying with a care-taker for a while." Da-hee answered.

"Okay, then." Ae-cha spoke.

"Who are you two talking about?" Namra asked.

"Uh...Nobody...?" Da-hee replied, Namra could not know she was housing the boys' friends.

Namra said nothing as she continued driving.

"Eonnie, can you drive faster? The boys-"

"-Can take care of themselves for a while, they are old enough." Namra cut Ae-cha off, continuing to drive at a speed that was way slower than normal.

Da-hee and Ae-cha shared a look and then sighed, looking out of their windows as the car slowly moved towards the mansion.

-

When the car finally pulled up into the driveway, both Ae-cha and Da-hee spent no time in unbuckling their seatbealts and running inside and then upstairs, to the boys' room.

Their hearts immediately sank as they heard sobbing coming from the seven boys' room, Ae-cha gently knocked on the door.

"Boys? It's me, Ae-cha, can you open the door?" She spoke in a soft tone.

Immediately after, the sobs slowly ceased, there were some shuffling sounds and then there was a click, indicating the door had been unlocked and then the door opened a bit, Jin was standing behind it, eyes red and puffed.

"Jinnie! What happened?!" Da-hee exclaimed, cupping the oldest boy's face and scanning his face for any injuries.

Jin flinched away from her.

"What's wrong, Jinnie? Tell us." Ae-cha asked, keeping a distance seeing that Jin wasn't quite that fond of physical contact at the moment.

"N-nothing..." Jin mumbled, letting the door swing open fully and let the two women step into the room.

The two adults took a look around the room, every single boys' condition was akin to Jin's, red and puffed eyes, tear tracks staining their cheeks, a few were hiding under their blankets and the rest were curled up into a ball.

"What did that bastard do to you?" Da-hee asked, she was already against her sister marrying Sang-wook, and now, after Ae-cha told her what that man did and seeing her precious nephews like this made her blood boil.

"H-he d-did n-nothing." Jin stuttered out, staring at the floor.

"Jinnie, if he didn't do anything, you wouldn't be like this." Ae-cha spoke.

Suddenly, Jungkook, who was curled up inside his blanket sat up, "Noona, Auntie?" He called out.

"Yes, Jungkookie?" Da-hee replied, turning to the youngest.

"H-he d-did s-someth-ing b-bad t-to u-us..." Jungkook admitted.

"What did he do?" Ae-cha asked.

"I-I d-don't k-know, h-he t-took u-us o-ne-b-by-o-one t-to h-his r-room a-and t-then h-he d-did s-something i-it h-hurt s-so m-much..." Jungkook cried out.
