Painful memories

Hey reader! 

I've wrote another chapter to ease my boredom so here you go!

________________________________________________________________________________

Hearing the voice shock him. Not because it scared him but the probability that the other guy heard him is high and he was right. "Who are you talking to?" repeat the same person. Hoshi put down his spoon in the bowl, not getting any taste of the food yet and turn his head towards the source of the voice. It was his roommate, Jihoon. The small guy walk towards the kitchen, took out a glass, pour water in it, walk towards the wooden table and placing himself in front of Hoshi. They didn't say anything the next couple of minute with Jihoon drinking his water and Hoshi getting a taste of the man-made food. With the water almost finished, Jihoon put down his glass and look at Hoshi with his bright purple eyes. The other didn't seem faze by the stare instead enjoying the food for the first time in a while. 

"Hey, what do you mean by that phase?" A question suddenly being thrown to Hoshi which he didn't like as he know where the question is going. He didn't answer and continue ignoring it until the same question was asked with the additional 'family' word in it. At that, something trigger him to answer it and he did. "Why do you want to know?" The cold toned coming from the answer could send shiver down people's spine but not with Jihoon. Bright purple eye that was just looking at the other dark eye slowly revert to his glass of water that suddenly looks interesting at the moment. "No real reason. Just wanted to know each other....but if you don't want to then you don't have to." Jihoon said those then picking himself up from the seat towards the kitchen, putting the glass into the sink and move his feet towards the stairs but then suddenly a voice call out to him. 

"It just....probably felt like one....family." His words stops Jihoon from climbing the stairs instead changing his direction towards the table again. He took his previous sit and respond to the statement. "Why probably?"  Those question makes Hoshi control himself from flinching or losing control of his senses. He took a deep breath and make his eyes land on his leg, afraid to answer the question. He stroke his hand that was on his lap to calm himself down. Just thinking about his past makes his head hurt and his senses about to lose control but he thought to himself that if he were to bottle this up any longer, he might lose his reason like last time. 

"I...never experience...family..." He quietly answer, squeezing his hand harder than before. Suddenly, a tap was heard on the table and when he look at it, a cup of hot coffee is present in front of him. It looks like Jihoon had gone to make both their drinks when he was calming himself down earlier. He motion a small bow and took the cup slowly. It's warm. First time he experience the said sense. He put the tip on his pale lips and carefully drinking it. The warmth of the drink ease his nervousness from before. He put the cup back on it's original place and tried talking again as he had calm down. "I...was cast aside...from my family. I didn't do anything wrong...just that...I was just born with it. They started calling me...freak...and such...but they still give me food... until 4 but... it change went I was 5. Another child...born and they...didn't look at me again. They didn't give me food....and they forget about my existence.." Hoshi refrain himself from crying, blocking his emotions from getting the best of him. Of course he was sad. Miserable even. He wanted to cry every time he was reminded of the past but he somehow manage to block his emotions. It harm his body physically after some time of bottling his emotions but luckily it happened only twice. 

Shifting was heard from the other side of the table as Jihoon had listen attentively for the whole time. He of course was shocked at the other story had he never met people with such past but nevertheless he still open his ears, listening to every words his roommate had to say. He himself is not the kind of person who would pry in others affair but something in his heart keep telling him that he had to help this guy even though they only met for the first time. He once again put his purple eyes on Hoshi and picking his words careful as to not want to cross the line. "What happened after?"

Hoshi his eyes towards the small guy, their eyes clashing as if they were in their own world. A few minute had passed by as they didn't say anything. Only staring each other, both eyes hard as steel until the clock almost at 4 and one of the two eyes went soft. A small painful smile crept on his face as he fought the urge to let even the tinniest bit of his tears fell. "Lots of awful things and it hurt so bad."

After he said that, he push himself up and walk towards the kitchen while placing his empty cup in the sink, completely ignoring the purple eyes as it was in a state of shock. He brought himself towards the stairs slowly. With a 'goodnight', he left his roommate on the ground floor that was trying hard on processing the whole information.
