"W-why?" This is the only word that comes into his mind. He's running fast, heart beating loudly, tears rolling down his face. He still can feel the grip of Wo-Jin's hands and cannot think of anything else. The taste of blood is still there but not as much as before.

"Shou-ld I have t-told Mr. Kim wh-what hap-pened?", Jongin wonders and turns to the other corner, his house is near. He feels a bit better and doesn't choke anymore.

"He seems very kind and I guess he could help me", he wipes his tears away and enters his house. He got a key from his mama this morning before she went to her working place.

He quietly walks up the stairs and goes straightly to his room, nobody, especially his father and sister, should know he's here. He opens his door and goes in as quietly as he can, closing it behind him. He sits down on the floor. His room is clean, his sister must have cleaned it earlier before.

"B-but... what if he w-would also hit me? He must think I'm disgustig, too!! Yes! Just like my homeroom teacher from my last school!", Jongin starts crying again, also screaming, he almosts hyperventilates, big tears roll down his cute face.

"again..."

Remebering the past frustrates him. Everyone in his class bullied him because of his skin colour, his teacher included. After his mama found out that her son was a victim, she immediately took him out of this place. She didn't want to see her son suffering.

Jongin is always confronted with hate from others. The only love he knows is from his mama and oldest sister, everyone else is looking down on him, ignoring him, or purposely hitting him and saying it was just an accident. He doesn't know why all of this happens, why nobody likes him.

"Because of my skin tone...?", Jongin looks at his hands that are covered with some of his blood. Then hate comes out of him and takes his mind. He bits his arm and stands up to grab the towel lying on his bed from earlier this morning, that is now thrown on the floor. He doesn't like the fact that he is the only one in his family who has a dark skin. His mama told him that her grandfather used to have a dark skin colour when he lived. Over the generations it has been passed by the genes and now Jongin has it. Although he is young Jongin is an intelligent boy who understands things quickly. But Jongin doesn't like this at all. He hates this!

His crying and sobbing goes on and the sound of an opening door falls deaf in his ear.

"Nini?", his eldest sister opens the door slightly.

"Why are you crying, baby?", she comes in and looks at her little brother crying on the floor and her hearts aches. She approaches and hugs him from behind. "what happened, my dear?", she is worried.

Jongin hesitates. He doesn't dare to look at his eldest sister's face. He's afraid. Although she is one of the nicest persons in this world who would do everything for her little brother, he doesn't want to tell her. They had this arguement before, actually some weeks ago. He doesn't want to be a bother to his sister again with this topic. Tears roll down his face.

"you can tell me anything", she sits in front of him and wipes away his tears.

"I'm always here for you, Nini! Let's solve this problem together", she holds his little hands and looks deep into his eyes.

Jongin freezes, his crying and sobbing stops. A single tear rolls down his face but this one is a different one. This one isn't because of sadness, it's due to happiness, due to feeling needed, due to feeling protected and due to being loved. He can read all of it from his sisters eyes. His eyes glistens due to shedding tears, but he smiles a bit. He loves his older sister so much you cannot describe it in words. His mama, too! They are the best! They are always by his side. Contrary to his father and other sister. They are the worst!

"again... It hap-pened again", Jongin looks down, holding more into his sisters hands.

"what happened again? ...you mean..?"

"This time it wasn't the w-whole class including the teacher, it were just some older boys... and they p-pushed me, into a corner b-behind the school, k-kicked me... my stomach and mouth still hurt..."

"...did they say something else?", her eyes start glistening, it looks like she is close to tears, too. She feels the sadness of her little brother.

"...the boss of the group, I heard his name, it's Wo-Jin, he y-yelled at me and told, no, ordered me not to talk with his younger sister again. But you know what? She came to me in the first place saying she was the class representative and offered me her help since I'm new there. I asked her some questions, so ...why??", tears roll down his face again while he feels a sudden ache in his stomach.

"...and t-there's also my s-skin... I hate it! I never liked the colour! Why am I the only one who has a tanned skin in this family? Why do I always get confronted with hate and pain? It hurts so much!", he starts sobbing again.

"It's all because of this dirtiness. They said it's disgusting and they are r-right, nobody wants to see me like this, nobody! It would be better if I would disappear and never come back aga-!"

"stop! Please stop, Nini", Jongin looks up, his face full of snot and tears which still roll down his chin. The little boy feels abysmal. She understands his feelings and feels bad for him. She knows he doesn't deserve this. Her little brother is a little angel. Always kind, helpful and respectful towards others, especially towards elders. She never saw a child being this honest. Never lying to get anything, always telling the truth and apologizing when he did something rude, but these these are rare. He is still a child, children are still growing and learning. He didn't do anything wrong! The people around him  do! She tries to protect him, but she cannot be there every time. She knows that someone someday will be but she isn't and will never be that person.

"It's not bad to have a tanned skin. I don't understand why some people always overreact. I think It's really beautiful. Really! I love it! I wished I had tanned skin, too. It's like the Sun kissed you and loves you more than other people.", she says while Jongin looks at her.

"Nini, it makes you special! You are perfect the way you are and nobody can say otherwise. It's the truth, believe me!", she kisses his forehead. Jongin gets teary eyed again.

"Na, baby don't cry", she hugs him tight.

"you are beautiful! The most beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, awesome, good-looking, handsome, wonderful boy I have ever known. And more than that!"

"You did nothing wrong, Nini! The others are just some idiots and don't unterstand such things. You are perfect the way you are and you are very important! For the world, for us and also for me! And some day you will find the one who will love you so much that this person can't live without you. Believe me", she smiles and hugs her little brother tighter who is now crying again, tears of happiness.

"Eunnie, I love you so much!"

"I love you, too!"

Both of them hug each other and forget the time. They don't realize their mother coming back from work.

Writing this chapter broke really my heart and I really cried everytime I started writing a bit (I'm serious ^^"). Jongin is really a cute little boy and he did nothing wrong! He deserves all the happiness in this world! PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS! I hate people who hurt others jist they don't like their skin colour. They are really the least!
And his oldest sister is just so cute, being there for his lil brother and for loving him so much, she's really one of my favourite characters 💕
