WONTAEK DRABBLES.

(43) Cinnamon and Strawberry. (Part 01)

Being a runt in the family wasn't nice at all. With a white, soft cotton ball tail and floppy white ears, Taekwoon wasn't considered a part of his family.

His brothers were much more stronger than him. With large ears that stood proudly and strong legs and physical features. His sisters were beautiful, long graceful ears and slim figures.

Then came, Taekwoon. The youngest in his family who was unfortunately born as a runt. He was beautiful, no doubt, almost like a female. But sadly, males were supposed to portray strength and determination while females portrayed grace and motherhood.

Being a runt, Taekwoon wasn't fit for hunting or almost anything. His fragile state wasn't satisfactory for his parents who were hoping for a strong and healthy male only to birth a runt.

Because of it, Taekwoon was distanced from the pack, not allowed to eat or sleep together. His brothers shoved him around, boasting their strength and power while his sisters, being much nicer, took care of him and comforted him.

"Aigoo, 'Woon-ah... Was HyungDo mean again?..." The oldest sister, SeungBin, asked, taking the sniffling bunny to her lap, fingers playing with his floppy ears.

The daily routine of comforting the bunny went on as usual. HyungDo must've been too harsh today.

"Hey, Taekwoon-ah..." MoonShin, the fourth eldest male, called out, catching the attention of Taekwoon who was peacefully laying on the soft grass.

Taekwoon sat up, looking curiously at him. It was rare whenever MoonShin conversed with him. MoonShin was a ladies man and had females hovering over him like bees around a honeypot.

"Yes, brother?" Taekwoon walked over to him, a timid smile on his face. Even though MoonShin didn't like him, Taekwoon tried to get along.

"You know, in the wolves territory, there are some very fresh strawberries." MoonShin stated, a sly smirk on his face.

Taekwoon's eyes lit up at the prospect of his favorite fruit. He usually got strawberries just once a year on his Birthday. And that too was just two or three berries, four if he was lucky.

"B-but.. We're not a-allowed on W-Wolf Territories...." Taekwoon stuttered out, cheeks flushing pink, matching Taekwoon's baby pink sweater that drowned his lithe frame.

"But don't you want the strawberries, Taekwoon?..." His brother over- exaggerated, giving Taekwoon a sickening smile.

Taekwoon nodded wistfully, big doe eyes blinking up at his brother, unknowing to the cruel smirk on MoonShin's face.

MoonShin chuckled darkly and led Taekwoon to the forbidden forest, the sunlight disappearing as they walked further into the woods.

After what seemed like hours of walking, they stopped at a clearing where some sunlight filtered through the trees.

"Where are the berries, brother?" Taekwoon innocently asked, hopping to the middle of the clearing.

"Why don't you search them for yourself, runt?" MoonShin snarled unkindly, shoving Taekwoon to the ground.

The bunny looked up tearfully at his brother, dust dirtying his white fur, making them brown.

"Pathetic. Already crying like a useless coward..." MoonShin sneered, pulling at Taekwoon's bunny ears scornfully.

"H-Hurts!" Taekwoon whined softly, trying to escape the harsh grip on his sensitive ears.

MoonShin laughed mockingly, continuing to abuse the younger verbally and physically. He scratched the bunny with his claws, blood staining on his fur. The scratches weren't that deep but were deep enough to draw blood.
