Bloodied Love

For us

"You'll never be nothing more than a whore! I don't even know why I let your fathers go after giving birth to you worthless pieces of shit! Get out of here and take your brother with you!" She growled, throwing as many heavy objects at my naked brother who kneeled before her and a strange unfamiliar man.

His small, frail body pushed towards me and picked me up off the dirty floor, "C'mon, you gotta walk lix, I-I can't carry you.."  He mumbled, struggling to take me with him.

I didn't want to walk, I wanted to be held by my older brother, I was persistent and continued to cling on him as he tried to get me off of him and urge me to walk alongside him.

"Please, lix, I really can't!" He quietly yelled, his eyes tearing up.

"Hurry up! Fuck, you useless trash!" She grabbed the leather belt that remained hung on a hook on the wall and wailed it towards my brothers bare back, causing him to wail and fall on his knees.

She had continued hitting him, burning red slash marks covering his back, his fists clenching as his body began to give out and push him further to the floor, "Jiji! Mom! Stop already! We'll leave just stop hurting him already!" I begged watching my brothers scared face and my mothers angered one.

"Stay out of it then. Go and take your brother to your room quickly! Don't slack off." She turned around to the mysterious man leaving me to take my weakened brother up the flight of stairs to our room.

When I turned to pick him up, he was laying limply on the floor, no sounds coming from him at all. I pushed him on his back to check on him. Then I screamed. I screamed and wailed loudly.

My brother was bleeding out from his mouth, bruises and deep cuts along his body. He was nearly unrecognizable.

"Felix?" His voice sounded

"Felix, wake up, its all just a nightmare." Jisung shook the younger awake, the two in the front seat showing as much worry and concern as his brother.

"Jiji- I thought- she did it to you, i was so scared.." Felix sobbed, his brother scooting closer to him consoling himself softly.

"She didn't. I'm still here sitting right next to you, hugging you, talking to you. I'll never leave you." Jisung held back his own tears because maybe she could have done that to him just today. Had these people not saved them, who knows?

"I'm sorry.." He hugged his older brother, his face up against his malnourished chest.

"You know I don't know what to do without you, right?" He mumbled.

"Yes, I do, Lix." Jisung answered, playing with Felix's knotted brown hair.

"Good, that means you know that you should never leave me. You can't die until I die." He hugged Jisungs body, sending a different, deeper feeling of happiness and warmth. Being out of that home changed how he perceived many things.  But not the way he sees his brother.

"Is he okay?" Changbin asked from the passenger seat.

"Yeah, it's just a recurring nightmare he gets. It's not very fun everytime I see him like this." Jisung sighed, playing with Felix hair as he laid in his lap.

"Oh, would you like something on your leg? That's the one that's hurt isn't it?" Changbin pointed out the leg Felix had fallen asleep on was the one that was quite injured.

"It's no problem. I can't bare to bother his peace." Jisung smiled.

"Are you sure?"

"Mhm."

"Should we wake them up? We're nearly there." Changbin asked the older as he looked out the window.
