Sin | NyuJoon ✅

Chapter 8

Hyunjoon slammed the front door behind him then locked it. "Is that you, Hyunjoon?" He heard his father come down the stairs with a groggy look on his face. "Sorry to have woken you up." His dad shook his head then looked him up and down. "Well, it's nice to see you back at home." He watched his father go back upstairs and disappear from his sight. He entered his room then flopped down onto his bed. He had already started regretting yelling at Chanhee the way he did, but it was probably too late to apologize by now. He closed his eyes and felt sleep overcome his body.

The sound of a door opening and a pinch on his face woke Hyunjoon from his slumber. "Don't you know how worried we were when you didn't tell us where you were after a certain time?" He groggily looked at Hani as she continued to fuss at him. "Since when did you start giving a damn about me?" he said with a growl. Hani scoffed then pinched his arm this time. "I never did. I'm only doing this to look good in front of your father. I'd rather see you dead in a ditch somewhere." Hyunjoon had to resist the urge to knock this woman out.

"Get out of my room. I don't know what you're trying to get out of my father, but once I find out, I'll make sure to get you kicked out of this place." Hani glared daggers at him then left the room. Just as he sighed, she came back in momentarily. "I'm smarter than I appear, Hyunjoon. Don't test me." With that, she slammed the door behind her. Hyunjoon rubbed the spot where Hani had pinched as the pain had started making an appearance. "I really can't stand her..." he thought as he got up from bed.

He walked into the kitchen then saw a plate of food with a note by it. "I hope you feel better. I wanted to ask last night, but you seemed like you'd snap. -Dad" He sighed as he took the cling wrap off the plate. "Why do I live in such a household? Why couldn't I have a normal home like Chanhee?" He pushed his food around then wondered if his friends were busy today. He went back to his room then checked his messages.
