Between Me & Him (SUNKI)

chapter 1

₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡

"KIM F*CKING SUNOO!" The shout echoed through the house, reverberating off the walls and making me wince.

"I'm coming, Sunghoon hyung!" I called back, my voice tinged with exasperation. I could already feel the tension building in my shoulders, anticipating the confrontation that was sure to follow.

God, I hate my life. It's like a never-ending cycle of arguments and misunderstandings.

With a deep sigh, I trudged down the stairs, each step feeling heavier than the last. As I reached the bottom, I saw hyung standing there, his eyes narrowed and his posture rigid. The intensity of his glare made me want to turn around and retreat back to my room.

"What?" I questioned him, trying to keep my voice steady despite the nervousness bubbling up inside me.

"Oh, you know why!" he said, his voice rising with each word. The sudden increase in volume made me flinch involuntarily.

I just looked at him, genuinely confused. My mind raced, trying to figure out what I could have possibly done this time to warrant such a reaction.

"Come on, why the f*ck would you put a dead lizard in Si-woo and Ye-joon's locker!?" he shouted at me, his face turning red with anger. The accusation hit me like a slap in the face.

"Come on, hyung! Can't you see that they're bullying me every f*cking day??" I retorted, my own frustration finally bubbling over. My voice cracked slightly, betraying the emotions I was trying so hard to keep in check.

"I get your point, but you don't have to put a f*cking dead lizard in their locker!" He ran a hand through his hair, clearly exasperated. "There are other ways to deal with this, Sunoo."

"What do you want me to do!?" I shot back, my voice rising to match his. "Tell them that they should get down on their knees and apologize to me!? Do you really think that they're going to do that? Be realistic, hyung!"

"Oh my god, Sunoo! That's not how you solve things!" He threw his hands up in frustration, his eyes pleading with me to understand. "There are proper channels, people we can talk to about this."

I didn't answer and just rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. The familiar feeling of being misunderstood washed over me, making my chest tight.

"Do you know how much trouble you can get in? Good thing I begged them not to tell the principal! An—" His voice was a mix of concern and disappointment that made my stomach churn.

I didn't even let him finish and just started going up to my room, taking the stairs two at a time in my haste to escape.

"KIM SU—" I heard him call after me, but I closed my door and locked it, cutting off his words mid-sentence.

I immediately jumped onto my bed and just started screaming into my pillow, letting out all the pent-up frustration and anger.

"I hate my life!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs into my pillow, my voice muffled by the fabric. Hot tears began to stream down my face, soaking into the pillowcase.

"Hyung, you're such a loser! You suck!" I muttered between sobs, my words directed at both myself and my brother. The unfairness of it all weighed heavily on me.

You have been bullied for your entire life, and yet you don't know how to defend yourself and kept begging them to let you go?? You're such a big f*cking loser!!!!!!!!!

The harsh thoughts swirled in my mind, a mix of self-loathing and desperation. I felt trapped, caught between the torment at school and the lack of understanding at home.
