Bts Spring day got me JungshOOk 

-

I took in a heavy breath and pushed all unrest and panic away with an equally heavy sigh. 

"It all started with grandma," I looked up to see all the host club members looking at me carefully.

"Gran—" 

"Don't interrupt!" I yelled, raising a finger at my brother. "You were considered the golden child; the child with the smarts, looks, and even fame from a young childhood. I was never jealous, I loved you more than mother and father did, so much more." 

My eyebrows furrowed, "we hung out all the time and lived a carefree life of happiness and ignorant bliss. We were both young and only a few years of age apart. Young, energetic and free-spirited.  The way it was always supposed to be." My voiced cracked at the end. 

"Parents took us out for ice cream at Nana's shop, let us roam the candy shop freely with a limited budget, got us few toys like we weren't raised in the high class. We weren't dolled up, we weren't spoiled, we were raised with manners and were never allowed to step out of line. They wouldn't allow it, not because of image, but because of our well being."

Tamaki's lips pursed and the air was tense, Takashi having an arm slung over my shoulder calmed me.

"Then what happened?" Honey leaned towards me in curiosity a small smile graced his angelic baby face. "Grandmother arrived and fucked it all up." This time Haruhi didn't even scold me, not even a look.

"She scolded father, tossed our already weak mother out. We stayed with mother at the time, and father visited as often as he could. I guess grandmother had enough and finally cracked, she apparently never liked mother in the first place. Grandmother pulled Tamaki and father back to Tokyo and left me all alone in the countryside of Paris. She screamed at me to rot in hell alongside my mother." 

Takashi's grip on me tightened and I could hear him gulp.

"When mother came down with Systemic lupus erythematosus she sent me to Japan to live with Grandmother." I stopped abruptly when a sick feeling rose up within me.

"That only lasted two weeks. She yelled at me, grabbed me by my hair and tossed me into walls, locked me in my room days at a time, starved me, beat me, even tried stabbing me. Any way to kill the granddaughter she despised most. You guys have seen the Ring right?" 

The group nodded and I let a little half-assed smirk come across my face, "she did that to me too, but I crawled right back up. Dirtied, matted, muddied and wet I dragged myself to the mansion doors and broke through the glass pissed off. She had enough of me and I had enough of her so I literally punched her in the throat and clawed her face with my nails."

Tamaki shivered and leaned forward, "so that was you that I saw in the garden?"

I looked up, "most likely, yeah. Finally, she called Ootori and so went forth the three nights of hell. The first two nights they tied me down to a cold, concrete bed and with leather straps. Grandmother visited, told me to die and said she hated me, very threatening considering I called her a bitch," I rolled my eyes.

"The doctors that night left some of the medicine still in the needles and didn't inject it all the way in. Doing so helped me survive, but because of that the third night was the worst." I bit my lip, turned around, and slowly lifted my shirt up to my shoulders so they could see the light scar burn that runs from my lower back to upper mid back. The room was filled with gasps and I could feel and hear them lean in.

"Can we touch it?" The twins chorused in curiosity. I shrugged in agreement and felt their icy cold hands run down my scarred back. Other sets of hands gently touched me and I shuddered at the coldness.
