Flashback to 4 years ago

"Why did I have to have a mistake like you" My 'Father' slurred out. He was definitely drunk again. "You" He pointed at me, "And you," he pointed at my little brother and I immediately got in front of him, my father now pointed at the door and screamed out, "GET OUT!". and he slapped me, the one person I had to depend on to be safe with, is the person I have to run away from.

I slowly crawled to Haneul and me being the sister I had to be I made both me and my brothers choice. I turned back to face my precious 5-year-old brother, "I want you to grab the suitcase underneath your bed and come downstairs immediately" I ordered, and as I looked into his eyes I saw tears trickling down his face dampening his shirt. "What about daddy?", his eyes became more glossy and I had to tell him the truth, "we don't have a daddy anymore, our old daddy is gone Haneul, he's not the man we need right now" I said and he began to cry even more, I looked him in his eyes and told him "We're going to find daddy one day okay? we're going to search the whole world if we have to okay?" he nodded his head willingly and ran upstairs to his room as I tried to stall.

I began to call my aunt who was in town to visit us in Busan but she originally lived in Seoul. She finally picked up, "Yes Haru-"I began to ramble about how we needed to get out of the house, "Auntie please get me and Haneul out of her," there was a silence," Why is your father not home," I was about to answer and suddenly my father began to scream,"I'm going to kill both of you if you don't come to me," I turned around to see that he had broken one of the chairs from the dining table. "Auntie, please I'm scared he's going to hurt Haneul please take him and I'll just stay with my father," I began to cry, never in my entire 14 years of my life have I ever been so scared, "NO I am not leaving you with your so-called 'father' I knew my sister shouldn't have married an alcoholic like him, I'll get you right now bring everything you need to bring," I gave a subtle 'yes' and began to go upstairs.

I checked on Haneul, he was ready to go and I signalled him to follow me to my bedroom and by the time we were in my room we heard him start to go upstairs and his voice boomed through our hallway. I quickly packed and I heard him slowly getting closer and he opened my door, "You little brats, you don't deserve to live, You are the worst people that this planet has ever sustained!" he screamed at us.

He was right after mom died I realized it should've been me who died in that car crash. I shouldn't be here, she should. "Haru? Haneul? Where are you? Never mind I'm coming to get you," my aunt yelled, she saw that my window was open and as she screamed My fathers face had one look: Terror. He immediately knew that I called her and he started to punch my head over and over again until my vision started to get blurry and soon after that it was pitch black.

Present time

"Hey did you see them post that group photo with twice, they should be lucky if they interact with angels like them." Hee-young started to wail. "I know, they are too cute," I started to squeal about the 9 boys that make my heart burst, Yes stray kids. I heard a knock at my door and I turned around to see my aunt, "Hey Hee-young can you look after Haneul for a few minutes I have to talk to Haru" Hee-young just nodded and proceeded to go downstairs. "So auntie what did you want to talk about,"I asked and patted her a seat on my bed, "I got a job for you so we can both support Haneul," My eyes widened.

"Where's the job?" I asked me being the curious person I am, she started fiddling her thumbs as if she was nervous but once she calmed down she finally answered me, "Well I got you a job at that entertainment studio a few blocks from here," She said calmly and by that moment I started to freak out. "JYP?! How did you manage to get me a job like that?" She laughed at my reaction, "Well I'm a good friend with one of the managers and they need another staff member because the last one quit" I wondered which group it was: Got7? No, They're too mature and I'm guessing that no one would give up the chance to work with them. Boy story? I get that they are quite young and rambuncous but their noona's are professional and so are they. TWIC- "HARU!" I jumped out of my trance.

"Are you going to take the job or not," Auntie asked me. She has done so much for me, the least I can do is to repay her by getting more money for us. "Of course," I smiled, and attacked her with hugs and thank yous. We were interrupted by a loud voice,"Haneul! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!". I laughed and Hee-young came up to my room panting and huffing for air. "What do you feed that child! I swear he has too much energy, and that is not a good thing." she huffed out with the remaining air left in her lungs and soon enough she flopped onto my bed, " I know what will cheer you up" The tired girl grunted as she was too tired to even use words, "My aunt got me a job at JYP" She shot up and looked at me as if I was a celebrity, "You're totally playing with me!" I shook my head indicating that I wasn't. "Get me photos of Minsung" She winked at me, "I'm pretty sure that I can't do that but I can try," I laughed out. Hee-young's phone buzzed and low and behold it was her roommate. "I have to go now bye Haru," she waved me goodbye and she closed the door. I sighed as I started to drift off to sleep.
