Jihoon & Chan story

~Flashback~

Jihoon and Chan grew up in the hands of their foster father, Hyojun after their mom died and they didn't even get the chance to meet their real father.

There are times where they experienced maltreatment from him but they don't have any choice for they're still children and got no other place to go.

Although it's hard, Jihoon did his best to stand as his brother's mom and dad, always reminding him that one day they'll be out of that kind of life.

The two only have each other and the only wish they want is to feel real love from him but as days passed, it seems impossible to get...

"Chan!!! Where are the money kept in this cabinet?!" The brothers got startled upon hearing their father's angry voice echoed through out the house.

"Chan!" The latter stood when Hyojun once again shouted his name while heading downstairs.

"A-app--- ah! Appa... i-it hurts..." Chan cried as his father harshly pulled his arm.

"Where's the money?" Hyojun asked angrily, tightening his grip on the kid's arm that makes Chan cry even more.

"I-I don't k-know..."

Jihoon watched how their father mistreated his brother that made him lose his temper.

He looked around to find something that could divert their father's attention to him until he saw a book and forcefully threw it on Hyojun's back.

"Stop hurting my brother!" He bravely shouted.

Hyojun furrowed his brows before letting Chan go and started to walk closer to Jihoon.

"H-hyung.." Chan murmured as he held his bruised arm.

"You finally got the guts to talk back to me, huh?" Hyojun said, gritting his teeth as he held Jihoon by the collar and pulled him out of the house.

Chan exhaustedly followed their father with the fear of he might do something bad to his hyung.

Hyojun threw Jihoon on the grassy lawn, the sun's almost down thus he's confident not one will see his maltreatment to the kid.

"Who gave you the rights to talk back to me, huh?!" He shouted and held the younger's collar.

"Should I remind you I'm the one who's feeding you? You two should be thankful that I'm still taking you in 'cause to be honest I'm so done living with the two of you!"

"A-appa... please stop... h-hyung's already hurt..." Chan cried as he watched his hyung being beaten by their father.

"I DON'T CARE! You know, it's better if the two of you get the he*l out of here for all you ever did was to ruin my life!" Hyojun said angrily and threw a punch on Jihoon.

"*cough cough* Even if you don't say that... *cough* we'll find a way to get out of here..."

Chan, limping, hurried beside his hyung whose on a weak condition now.

"H-hyung.."

"You're such a worthless father! *cough* You should've been the one who died instead of our mom! *cough cough*" Jihoon added.

"You b---!" Hyojun was about to give the latter another punch when Chan hugged his brother, protecting him.

"P-please... stop... we'll leave r-right now... j-just stop hurting him..." Chan whimpered.
