How can people possibly believe that these dead silent roads are normal? Don't they hear the screams of the people they killed here like me?

I saw myself crying as the fire was burning my house down slowly slowly. I saw taeyong hyung clinging on my petit small body, using his body as my protection sheild to keep me safe.

My screams and cries could be heard till afar as i was screaming my throat out because of this misery infront of me.

My heart broke everytime i saw a piece of my house get burned down. The fire police was late people were gathered, but no one decided to help taeyong hyung or even comfort me.

They were just here to make us feel more crappier than we already feel. Taeyong hyung was crying as well but he kept it all gathered for me. I saw jaehyun hyung shook off his mom's hand and run towards me. I saw that little boy hug me and taeyong hyung tightly.

I heard few people pitting on us and some even laughed
Is that all?

The ambulances came and went inside the house which had now tamed fire because of the fire fighters.

"Will mom dad be okay?" The innocent me asked with teary eyes, imagining the worst.

"Yes they will be, they have to be"
Taeyong hyung said.

I saw doyoung hyung running off from his parents and running towards us. Comforting me and hyung.

The ward boys and nurses brought my parents out of the house both in critical condition. Both of them not moving, not flinching when the ward boys picked them up.

And wrapped them in a black plastic bag.

The 8 year old me's heart dropped

"NOO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HELP THEM! WHY DID YOU PUT THEM IN A BAG!! HELP THEM PLEASE, I SWEAR I WILL BE A GOOD BOY!! DON'T DO THIS THEM" i screamed my heart out, wanting them to stop but instead they never did.

A hand cupped my mouth and muffled my cries and pulled me back into a hug. I cried my eyes out and taeyong hyung let me cry all i wanted.

"Cry all you want, this is the last time you'll cry promise me"
Taeyong hyung asked.

"But i want to punish the bad guys who did this to our parents"
I said sobbing and coughing in between.

"We will"

People slowly started disappearing and making it seem like a less of a scene.

One of the ward boys came to taeyong hyung and handed him the burnt clothes that belonged to our parents.

Taeyong hyung hugged them and cried like a little boy like me he didn't hesitate this time he had to get it all out.

He fell on his knees as he kept on crying.

I ran towards him and hugged him drapping my arms over his shoulders and hugging him tightly by his neck.

"Hyung, we still- we still have to punish the bad people who did this, i will not cry and i will be a good boy and listen t-to whatever you say you're the only person left to me"
I said hiding my face at the back of his nape.

"I promise i will let nothing happen to you."
The fifteen year old held fire in his eyes.
His eyes no longer looked so soft and cute.
He was mad and he was fire.

So was the little brother.
Despite of being an eight year old
I wanted to punish who did this to our parents.
Who did nothing wrong.
