Cats & Groceries || Hyungwonho!

Chapter 19!

•

Hyungwon laid on the soft mattress with minhyuk in his arms. The cats, who minhyuk calls as 'the numbers' because the child decided to call them the numbers he learned at the schoolroom, was curled beneath the bed.

Minhyuk fought with hyungwon to free the cats, and as usual, due to his tired state, he just complied.

Hyungwon only rubbed his eyes, pressing his fingers hard enough to stop the tears coming. He fucking just cant believe he's coming back.

And he has another problem concerning that when he open his phone, calls from people would come in.

It would just stress the hell out of him.

Suddenly minhyuk shuffled in the sheets to face him, giving his older brother a peck on the lips.

Hoseok always gives his hyung a kiss when he's upset, and so minhyuk also did that because right now he could feel his brother getting upset too.

"Wonnie hyung, we wont meet daddy?" minhyuk asks, making hyungwon to suck out his breath.

The question brought hyungwon back to reality. Nevertheless, hyungwon knows that his upmost priority was to think about minhyuk and his family he kept on running away from.

"We'll meet your daddy soon minmin...but right now, we have to meet your mommy first."

As hyungwon forces minhyuk to sleep because it would be an another long journey tommorow, he thought that he 'should' have forced himself to sleep.

Because right now, his mind was taking him to the odd and ugly parts of his life.

All back where it only took for a young hyungwon to grew up in a night and realize that his life was just beginning with a 2 years old in his arms.

At that fragile time, hyungwon cut off his ties as a chae.

-

Three years ago.

You ever heared of that sharp ringing in your ears as the sudden bash in the head hit your senses. Hyungwon could only cough in pain, as he sits upright in his chair again.

His mom just slapped hyungwon.

With a glass.

And the reason? was as petty as her nature because all that she wanted was to hurt hyungwon. It intensified when his dear father died, living her with a 2 year old minhyuk and a deadass no direction in life son.

Hyungwon couldnt bear to dodge her slaps or else minhyuk would be the one she would hurt.

"Why do I have you, you son of a bitch? Then theres that fucking child upstairs that I never wanted. FUCK he was much more worst than you." hyungwon mom inserted as she throwed a piece of utensil at hyungwons face. As if seeing him always triggered something deep within the woman.

"Are you done?" hyungwon blurted out, his cheeks stinging with pain as he pushed his dinner plate away. From the corner of the room, he could see Mr. Namjoon trying to silence himself knowing that hyungwon was being physically abused.

Mr. Namjoon knew what he should have done, call the police, get hyungwon and minhyuk away from the house and yet hyungwon told him to think about his family first and the fact that he could lose his job would make them suffer.

It prevented Mr. Namjoon to save the child.

It prevented Hyungwon to be saved too.

And so as her mother took a sip of her wine, phone ringing as it interrupted their conversation. Hyungwon took it as a chance to leave the dinning room.

Sending a little message to Mr. Namjoon before rushing in his bedroom to pack for himself and Minhyuk.

He withdrawed all his cash, brought out all his savings. And right then and there as he wrapped minhyuk in a tight blanket with Mr. Namjoon standing on the door.

Giving in a nod. His mother probably dead asleep with the amount of pills placed on her wine.

Hyungwon was suddenly on the car, looking at the remainder of her parents big mansion as Mr. Namjoon drove them away from the looming despair if they stay.

-

And just like how hyungwon remembered.

He gave minhyuk a kiss on the forehead just like the day minhyuk escaped the wrath of his family.

But now...hyungwon wasnt so sure himself that he can still protect the child from it.
