The Moon Knows It All !!!

Chapter 29

Vanessa's POV...

After waiting for an hour, I finally splashed water on Wang Son's face. He gasped for air and flicker opened his eyes.

"Rise and Shine Buggs Bunny", I cooed at him making him dart his eyes at me and then to the room.

He umphed and I removed the cloth from his mouth. "Before you spew insults, talk after thinking. I have anger built up against you for 6 years now. I don't feel like hugging you but I want to smack your head with a brick." I warned him.

He did not say anything and laughed at me. I looked at him with my right eyebrow arched while my lips also scrunched upward to a disgust. Before anything else, I curled my fingers and punched his face across.

"Damn, Vann you don't hit like a girl at all." He laughed at me but that wasn't to mock me but it was my brother's adorable laugh. You know his eyes crinkles and they almost look like a thin line, his teeth peek out between his lips and his forehead has multiple folds. He looks like a baby laughing like that. His smile calmed me down in an instant and I sat down on the chair upfront. Frowning falsely to emphasize my point.

"I am not going to be a part of your sick game, just tell me why are you doing this and why did you meet him?" My anger started returning and Kyungsoo's smile dropped completely.

"What?"

"I think it is high time I tell you about everything, Vann." He looked at me with pain and guilt in his eyes and his eyelids dropped to his lap.

I untied him and sat in front of him. I may have kidnapped him but the person sitting in front of me is my brother Kyungsoo not some underworld mafia Wang Son. He rubbed his wrists where I had tied him with the ropes and started talking.

"It happened on the night I ran away from you..."

Flashback

Kyungsoo's POV...

I hate watching her dance in those half ripped clothes. I just hate it. It has been years since mum died and we ran away from our house. Day and night my sister Vanessa worked and worked and worked. If she got any days off or any break she would find another odd job to do on that day than rather staying at home with me.

When I was young, she would stay by me at night till I slept and when I woke up in the morning I would find my meal cooked and her sleeping beside me. She loved me more than a mother would love her son. She was just so perfect. I saw how other Noona her age would dress up, how they talked among themselves, and hung out at shops. I never saw Vann buying anything for herself. She would wear the donated baggy clothes and would buy me school uniforms. I often tried wearing hand downs too but she would get angry at me and buy me new clothes.

One time I asked her how my friends had the latest robot man and she bought it for me in 1 week. I knew she was saving the money to buy a new phone. She needed it for her jobs but she accepted being scolded for any failure but bought me a freaking toy. I would see scales hardening under her knuckles and feet but she never complained. After I completed my schooling I thought I will start working too and would help her out. Together we will lead a better life. She will get some rest. But she just started with an obsession with sending me to college.

The college would cost a fortune. Where is she planning to get all that money? Then I noticed her wearing a raunchy outfit at night and leaving the house. When I followed her I saw her entering a night club and she was dancing along with one of the poles while men as thrice her age were ogling at her. I got disgusted and ran back.

Another night and we had a very heated fight. I told her that I could earn money but she just said that she will not give me pocket money. Who cares about the pocket money I just wanna save her. That fight was stupid and I was childish I ran away.

I met Taehyung at our usual spot he asked me to peddle drugs like he was doing but I denied. I hate such things. I will never supply or sell drugs that are harmful. I cannot hurt someone. I talked to Taehyung for a while and left him. I went to the beach. The sand beneath my toe was very soothing and I curled my fingers grabbing some sand between my toes. I missed mum, I missed Vann. I am such an idiot for leaving her alone. I should go back. I turned back and started leaving through an alley when I saw it.

Two men held another man while 3 others were just surrounding them. A guy in an overcoat stood in front of him. He was talking and abusing the man in grasp and the other did nothing but beg to him to leave his family alone. I could only hear his cries and the overcoat guy's shout. My feet stood frozen and I just couldn't move. I hid behind a dumpster but saw what was happening.

The other guy brought a hot metal rod, it was glowing like lava at one of the end. I figured they were going to stab him to death. Soon he did but not in chest or stomach as I expected but in his left eye. Blood poured out of his damaged eye while he screamed at the top of his lungs. None of the neighbors came out I guess this area is similar to back home.

I heard more screams and more laughter. When I peeked again among the many screams and silences, I saw one of the goons skinning the poor guy's face. The man in the overcoat was gone and his men were just having fun. It was sickening and I could not bear to watch anymore. I turned around and puked. When I adjusted my sight I saw a figure standing in front of me. I looked up to see the same overcoat man, his face hidden with a big hat but a cigar was very much visible between his lips.

I quivered and shook but nothing came out of my mouth. He picked me up by my collar and threw me on the floor. His goons picked me up like a paper doll and threw me in the back of their van after beating the hell out of me. I don't know where I am going. All I know is I regret my fight with my sister.
