My little brother

^28^

I finally arrived home, to an empty echoing home filled with loneliness. Once filled with nosy laugher and loud squeals is no more.

Walking deeper into the ghost like home I find our rooms slightly torn and things either ruined or clearly missing. Things were missing.

Was there a break in? Why now?

Looking at my buzzing phone I groan in dissatisfaction, more news that I'm better off without him. How cruel can the public get?

Is this how they always were or was I amune to it all? I took no notice to the public eye for him too long, is that why this is hurting so much?

Why does it hurt so much?

3rd  person POV

Chanyeol arrived at the hospital rushing to emergency finding his brother attached to many wired machines trying to keep him alive. The doctor soon joined him patting his back.

"I'm sorry Chanyeol we're doing our best to wake him up but your brother has so much trauma, when he first got here we found evidence of rape Chanyeol don't worry it was old but consistent Yeolhyun's rectum has taken a in the last...."

He looked down at his clip board of Yeol's records "seven days."

"To worsen matters we believe it was someone he was familiar, someone he met with frequently because he'd expresssed no fear when questioned about the male."

The Doctor continued on making sure Chanyeol sat down.

"However from the notes of psychologists we found in his unconscious state he was very hesitant with his body language at the mention of activities that circulated the male."

Chanyeol was still processing that Yeol had been raped not once but mutilple times and he had no leads of his own.

"Chanyeol, you see we believe your brother might have not been responsible for his unconscious mind this time because we did notice a bruise on his head that could possibly be the cause of his blackout."

Chanyeol held combed his hair back nervous as he shook internally, he felt so stupid. So useless.

What kind of brother doesn't notice something is really wrong?

Why was he so neglectant when Yeolhyun seriously needed him.

"This does implicate he was with someone whom might of harmed him intentionally and that fact still stands we found his body in a forest a few miles from his school" the doctor slowled down to console Chanyeol.

"As there is evidence he left the school alone so who might of done this remains a mystery until your brother wakes up."

Chanyeol stared at the doctor overwhelmed by the heavy in take "are you sure your just a doctor?" He questioned.

The doctor smiled "I used be a detective analysist for the police force when I was your brothers age."

He turned serious again.

"Now Chanyeol, you are welcome to stay by your brothers side as long as you would like to we'll be moving him to a private room shortly so you can sleep with him. I know you're all each other have" the doctor smiled taking his leave.

Thank you. Chanyeol mumbled taking a seat beside extremely pale Yeolhyun. He felt cold with his blue lips it broke Chanyeol's heart.

Chanyeol looking around at the white room clenching his chest with a strong wave of nostalgia hitting him.

Flashback

"Ch-Chan-Chanyeol.... Chanyeol... My son" Mr Park spoke on his death bed with his right hand firmly clasped between his son's. "Chanyeol..." He groaned in pain as tears came thundering from Chanyeol's eyes.

Chanyeol had known this day would come the dreaded day was finally here where he'd have to let go.

He'd have to say his last 'hello' and finally 'goodbye'

"Ch-Chanyeol... My boy why are you crying?" Mr Park chuckled followed by dry coughing.

Mr Park, Chanyeol's father was quite old and unwell.

Chanyeol sniffled. Chanyeol closed his eyes then opened them "my boy, you need to be strong for your brother." Mr Park spoke wisely.

Mr Park spoke clearly as Chanyeol's tears littered his chest, Chanyeol cried harder watching his farther turn paler.

"Son please..." He spoke followed by another dry cough.

Chanyeol held on to his hand like dear life "don't do that. Just tell me..." Chanyeol broke down.

"I know your leaving me, leaving us behind... But at least leave with your pride dad.. You always command us never asked..." he his tears clouded his sight.

Mr Park sighed "I realized that but Chanyeol..." Chanyeol shook his head violently.

Chanyeol broke down allowing himself to finally be engulfed by his father.

"Chanyeol you are so smart and you are so brave.." Chanyeol could hear his heart rate decreasing.

"No.. NO!"

"I'll be watching over you and your brother... Take care of each other ok..?"

"Stop! That's your job..." Chanyeol looked up at the man he called his father and for the first time in many years...

Mr Park's gaze was glassy when he look down at his pride and joy.

"... Chan...yeol.... I... l-love you" Mr Park's hand dropped from stroking Chanyeol's head.

Mr Park's grip in Chanyeol's clasped hands weakened to nothing.

And lastly...

Mr Park's heart stopped beating.
