---------------

Minhyung could only remember when he was five. That was the first time his parenrs hit him.

He and Taeyong were sitting on the sofa just watching tv and being your normal borthers.

Their parents had come through the door and immediately marched up to the duo sitting on the sofa.

5 years old Minhyung and 9 year old Taeyong had looked up confusedly to their two parents who had steam practically blowing out through their ears.

"LEE TAEYONG AND LEE MINHYUNG!" Their parents bellowed. "YOU BOTH ARE A DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY. BECAUSE OF YOU BOTH, WE LOST THE PARTNERSHIP WITH ONE OF OUR BIGGEST SHAREHOLDERS!"

Minhyung had the urge to cry and so he did. Which 5 year old small boy wouldn't cry at the fact thst their parents were shouting at them?

Their mother had raised her hand. "YOU DONT GET THE RIGHT TO FUCKING CRY!" a slap sound echoed through the now silent living room as Minhyung held his cheek in shock.

The thing about parents was that you were placed on earth to nurture and grow someone. To take care of them and shelter them from the harsh society thats waiting to devour them.

That wasn't the case with Minhyung and Taeyong's parents.

Mr and Mrs Lee and both been invited to a dinner with one of their major shareholders, the Kims. They had been confident to be able to get the Kims to buy up more shares so that they could earn more money for themselves.

Not the kids but for themselves.

The Kims had asked them for a dinner and after the dinner, the Kims had said they were giving back their shares. Which was obviously not good since they were loosing money and the Kims were their only hope.

To make it simple, they were losing money and the fact that the Kim's (which was their biggest shareholder) was giving back their shares which meant the Kim's would no longer be supporting them.

Mr and Mrs Lee were angry, devastated, worried.

They did their best to try and convince the Kims to buy back their shares but no amount of persuading would get the Kims to buy back their shares.

And guess who they took that frustration and emotions out on.

Minhyung.

The young boy's father took out a baseball bat and swung it at the 5 year old, hitting his leg and breaking it into two. Taeyong could only helplessly watch as two guards came and held him down, preventing him from protecting his brother.

Their mom took a wine bottle and gulped it down as she watched her husband continue hitting Minhyung using a baseball bat.

Once she finished the wine bottle, she swung it at Minhyung who didn't manage to dodge it. The wine bottle shattered against his shoulder.

Minhyung and Taeyong's screams and cries for them to stop was the only thing heard throughout the neighborhood that night.

2 years later, the company had began to grow bigger again. The stocks were going up, everything in general was going up. The now 7 year old Minhyung thought the abuse would stop since the market shares were skyrocketing.

Keyword: thought

Oh how wrong he was.

His parents now thought that abusing Minhyung was giving them good luck as since they took out all their frustration and anger out on him everyday, their shares and money was growing incredibly fast.
