Siblings never fight? Heh, what an excuse. The fights strengthen bonds, not weaken them.
Not this time, though. My fights hurt my brother.
~FC Cha Hana
"Morning...." Hana yawned as he and Semo dropped into their seats on the dining table.
"Ah, morning, Hana, Duri, Semo-" Doun stopped when he noticed the two. "Hana, where's Duri?"
At that, the caramel-haired male blinked in confusion. When he had gotten up this morning and found himself alone, he had thought that Duri had gotten up earlier. "What are you talking about, Appa? Isn't he here?"
Doun shook his head, "No... He isn't here."
"Strange...." Semo frowned. He prided himself in knowing people, and Duri was not the kind to get up early. "Maybe he went to Nebok-hyung's place?"
"Makes sense. We'll go check after eating then," Hana decided.
"Alright," Semo agreed.
Doun beamed proudly. Hana was really more mature than his brother. He truly raised him well.
"Well then, let's eat," the oldest of the group suggested.
"Okay then!"
An hour later found Hana in front of the house in front of the Cha residence. Semo had been dragged away by Dingyo to buy stuff in the mall, and poor Z was her ride, which kinda made Hana sympathise with him. Before Semo came along, X was her ride. (In her words, she didn't have the courage to take a car with Duri.) So he pitied and liked it at the same time.
"Alright, let's do this...." he mumbled to himself.
Ring ring!
He waited patiently, chocolate eyes so like Duri's watching the door, expecting it to open.
But unlike before, it didn't.
That brought a frown to the ten-year-old's face. Nebok wasn't the kind to ignore them. In fact, he was the opposite.
"Maybe he's out," he eventually decided. "Well, I guess I should go accompany Semo so his wallet doesn't die."
With that, he turned his back on the maroon door and stepped away, unaware that his objective had not left the house....
Instead, there he was, slumped against the wall, curled up into a ball. Memories flashed. Duri's last scream of fear before the sea claimed him. Acnee's proud tone as she commended his act of murder.
"I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry.... I'm so sorry..." he kept on repeating to himself. A mantra that was supposed to help soothe his pain, but only made it worse.
After all, sorry wasn't going to bring Duri back.
The deed had been done.
He prided himself in knowing right and wrong, but...
He ended up choosing wrong.
Sniffles bounced off the walls as the pink-haired teen let his guilty tears fall to the ground.
I killed someone I killed someone I killed someone no no no-
TING TONG!
"H-Huh?..."
Navy blue eyes slowly looked up to the entrance just as a letter was slipped in.
Fear entered his heart once more. It couldn't be Acnee, right? Why would she contact HIM? Why? Did she want him to commit more crimes?
