After the worst lunch with his mom, he got into the car that held his "fiance." When he got in the car, he was attacked with a sloppy, angry kiss. ZiTao pushed him away and panted from the lack of oxygen from the kiss. He turned to look at YiFan's face and knew that he was going to get punished for pushing the second time that day.
He turned his attention away from YiFan and looked out the window. What he saw was beautiful. Blue skys with white clouds covering it. How the sun rays were hitting the clouds. The birds flying with no restraints. They were free. ZiTao bit his bottom lip and continued looking at the birds flying in complete freedom. He wanted to taste the sweet sense of freedom again but instead he was locked in a house all day and waited for his abusive "fiance" to come home.
He looked at YiFan out of the corner of his eyes and slightly pouted. He missed the YiFan that would shower him with kisses when he got home. He missed the YiFan that would tell him he was beautiful. He missed everything that YiFan used to shower him love and affection. Now all he sees is a heartless person that doesn't care that he's ruining someone else's life.
"Like what you see?" YiFan asked with a cocky attitude. ZiTao rolled his eyes. He rested his elbow on the window and put his chin on top of his hand. YiFan licked his lips and tightened his grip on the steering wheel, turning his knuckles white. "You fucking bitch. Pushing me away and not answering me. Your punishment is going to be worse if you keep up your shitty attitude."
"Okay." ZiTao whispered. He barley fought with him anymore. He knew he was going to lose because of how strong YiFan was compared to him.
"Your going to your brother's house. I have to much work to do and won't be at home tonight." YiFan informed his fiance. ZiTao nodded and thanked God that he was going to see his brother.
His brother would always listen to him. If he was busy with work he would listen to him. If he was busy trying to cook dinner for his husband he would listen. ZiTao always looked up to his brother. He always wanted to be the perfect model student that his brother was. He wanted to have a loving relationship like his brother. Instead he was destined with the devil and wasn't allowed to go to school because his "fiance" would think that he would run away.

YiFan pulled up in ZiTaos brother's driveway. He looked at the younger and saw that ZiTao was ready to bolt out of the car. He let an evil smirk form on his face. He grabbed the back of ZiTao's neck and pulled him in a rushed, sloppy wet kiss. He pushed ZiTao away from his face and gave him a disgusted look. ZiTao returned the look and got out of the car.
He walked up to the white wood door and knocked on it timidly. He heard YiFan's tires screech off into the distant and let out a sigh of relief that he was going to be away from the monster for the rest of the day.
The door opened and reviled a messy brown haired man. His apron had flour on it, his hair was a little bit messy and his shirt was wrinkled but ZiTao thought that he looked like an angel sent from above. He quickly went into his brother's embrace and started to cry. His brother was shocked by the sudden emotion. He brought ZiTao into the house and put him on the couch. He ran into the kitchen to get a glass of water. He came back out and saw that his younger brother's tears still haven't stopped.
"ZiTao, what's wrong?" His brother asked with concern laced around his voice.
"YiXing, he's horrible." ZiTao stopped the tears from coming and looked at his older brother.
"What do you mean?" YiXing put his hand on ZiTao's cheek and started to rub his thumb on the younger's cheek.
"He abuses me!" ZiTao screamed out at his brother and fresh tears made their way down his cheeks.
YiXing eye's widened and his nostrils flared up. "He's abusing you?" He asked trying to keep his voice down but ZiTao heard the anger in it.
"E-Everyday for the past three months." YiXing's shoulders slouched down. He got on the couch and hugged his brother.
"Did you tell mom?" He looked down at his brother and saw that he nodded his head. "What did she do?"
ZiTao got out of YiXing's grip and put his hands on his face. "She didn't believe me. She said that YiFan promised her that he wouldn't abuse me. Then I asked her that she didn't care that I was being abused and she said that a Wu never goes back on their promises. Mom didn't believe me YiXing and I'm stuck with him for the rest of my life." ZiTao looked at his older brother and saw that he was about to cry.
"Did you try to run?" YiXing's voice was starting to fail and he didn't think that he was able to handle his brother telling him this.
"I've tried and tried and tried. He always finds me and punishes me."
"P-P-Punish?" YiXing started to shake out of anger and fear. He was angry that someone would dare hurt his little brother and scared that YiFan would kill him.
ZiTao nodded his head. "Sometimes he would handcuff my hands together and whip me. Other nights he would rape me but if he's in a good mood then he won't rape me." ZiTao rolled up his sleeves and showed YiXing the handcuff marks from last night. His wrists were red and the scars from the handcuffs were still visible.
"He whips you?"
ZiTao bit his lip and pulled up his shirt. YiXing was about to throw up when he saw the whip marks on his brother's back and stomach. Every inch of his skin was covered with whip marks. He made ZiTao pull down his shirt. He grabbed his brother's hand and kissed it. ZiTao flinched when he felt YiXing's lips on his hands. He wasn't used to the gentleness. He was used to anger everyday that he forgot what kindness and gentleness is like.
"JunMyeon is coming home in two hours. Do you want to try to get some sleep before he comes home?" YiXing tilted his head. When he saw young brother nod, he pulled him up from the couch and showed him to the guest bedroom. ZiTao collapsed on the bed and in two minutes he was out.
It broke YiXing's heart to see his brother so weak and defenseless. He wanted to take his brother away from YiFan but knew that was impossible. He sat back on the couch and a few tears left his eyes. He was so upset that someone can be that heartless and hurt someone innocent.
