Stay away from my sister
You are nothing but a threat to her

Panting heavily as he opened his eyes to gain consciousness, his back was feeling awfully sore as he groaned out in pain to get up.

He didn't know where he was, again.
Waking up in different places for months now, he felt numb

buzz...buzz...

the vibrating of his phone annoyed him as he stretched his tired body. I slept on my house's patio, great.

He noted to himself before taking out his phone from his pocket, another message from them. He has been nothing but a reader to their texts,

Yoongi hyung : You're absent for so long, I am actually worrying about you, idiot.

Moni hyung : Taehyung, you couldn't be blaming yourself for this. Please tell me you're okay

J-Hoseok hyung : Yah Taehyung, where are you? Today's graduation day

The last one caught his attention,

Jungkookie : Hyung, I heard what happened. If you need to talk to someone, I'll be at the usual club

He never wanted to face the feeling he experienced when he had to do what he did to her. He knew it will be hurtful, but it was taking a toll on him.

He quickly replied to one of the texts and sighed heavily as he entered his empty house, the surrounding seemed dead, like how he was inside

Grabbing a bottle of beer, he gulped a big portion of the addicting liquid while heading towards the bathroom. Letting off all his dirty clothes, he turned the tap and soon cold water fell endlessly and hit his shivering skin

It washed away all the alcoholic smell, all the drunken things he had done, but funny how it never clean the sorrow he was feeling inside,

He recalled the day Haneul confronted him. She was injured and the flower shop was in wreck. The horrifying wall was written in animal blood saying 'stay away from him'. He knew who was behind this, but he could only stood silently as Haneul slapped him, hard

Testify against her, Taehyung
We'll lock her up for good

Detective Lee's words rang in his head. Slamming his fist onto the wall, his knuckles turned red but water flowing along made the stinging sensation fade quickly,

"Stop hurting", he clenched his chest and slowly, tears started falling from the eyes, racing along with the water coming from the shower as he sobbed so silently

Letting the place to be the sole witness to his never-ending agony.
