We helped others. Those who needed help were our targets. We were Robin hoods.
"Why don't you smile?"
"I don't know how..."
I saw how the flames swallowed the building. I had to escape.
The water was cold, probably because there was no heating i...
I did not want to be left alone, but it happened. I couldn't do anything for it. I sat alone in my room and listened to my father's speech. He spoke to his friends. I knew they weren't normal friends. Father was working illegally. I was aware of his work in the underworld.
The speech ended. Father's friends left. It was so quiet.
I went to lie on the mattress. Everything in this house was so dirty and uncomfortable. Even the people. I was angry with my father. I didn't want to frighten my new friends, but I drove them away. Or rather, father did it. He beat my face, and now Minhyuk fears me.The only person to whom I trusted is gone.I heard steps. Father was going to his room.
There was a strange smell in the air. I sat up and smelled. The smell was bitter and distressing. Just like ... smoke?
I quickly stood up and looked around. I rushed to the door and opened it. The smoke busted into my room. My eyes stung, but I left to walk among the smoke. From the kitchen heat met my face and it was really hot. I saw how the flames swallowed the building. I had to escape.
I ran past the flames in the living room. There was not as much fire there, so I was free to move around.I went to the back door. The door was tightly closed, I couldn't get it open. I had to break it. I took two steps back and busted the door with my shoulder. It didn't move. I did it again, again and again. Finally the door creaked. I hit it once more and it flew open.
I ran out gasping for oxygen. My head was spinning and I went to sit on the ground. I looked at the house in front of me. It was like art. The flames had swallowed the whole building and burned brightly. The smoke floated in the air around it.

I turned my gaze to the right. There were people watching. Suddenly I recognized them. Wonho and Minhyuk looked at the burning house. Next to Minhyuk was a gasoline can. My eyes grew as I realized it. They had set the house on fire. But why?
Suddenly, the police run to the house. They grabbed my father's arms and held him in one place.
"You're under arrest. You can stay silent, but all your words can be used against you."
Why was my father arrested? Did he get caught for his crimes?
I turned to look at Wonho and Minhyuk again. They smiled when they noticed my father in the hands of the police. Was this one of their doings too? First I get tortured, now I lost my home and family. Is there anything left for me? I soon lost, just like all I had is.
I get to finally stand up and I look at my father's eyes. The police glance at me. He moved closer.
"Are you his son?"
I nodded.
The police looked at his comrade. "Damn, this guy also beat his own kid ..." He said.
I knew it was visible. The traces on my face were bad.
"Are you okay?" The other police asked. "That fire was pretty big."
I nodded.
"Um ... you should talk to your relatives. Your father goes to jail. He has committed bad crimes. Also, you should report family violence." The police said before they started moving my father away.
"F-father?"
He didn't look at me.
"Father!"
"This is all your fault." He said. "If you had not become friends with those brats ... everything would be fine." He spat.
He looked at me in the eyes. "You're a beast! A dangerous beast that destroys the lives of others! You bathe in the blood of others and laugh at their bodies! You are a monster! MONSTER!!!" He shouted.
"Shut up." The police said and moved him further.
Soon they were no longer visible. I was alone, all alone. I was deprived of the last thing that kept me alive. Now I had nothing left. Nothing. Wonho and Minhyuk had left.
