Pure of a Slice

Chapter 4: Pepper

" Fuck you."

I faced dad after pulling away from Taehyung. I never thought I'd have an oppa. He's got quite a handsome yet tacky face to be my older brother.

" Watch your language little girl."

I heard Taehyung say. Fuck you too. This is my mouth I can say what I want to. My arms feel a little tingly from the hug.

" Can the two of you leave?"

I almost forgot what I came here for.

They both left right away. This time I locked the door. Someone nearly caught me, I have to be aware more often. I pulled my sleeves up once again and turned the faucet on , washing the scars. I did my business and went out.

I went back to my room to see Taehyung sitting on the bed.

"What took you so long?"

" The fuck do you care?" I snapped back. Calm your nerves. Shut up conscience.

" Hey we were in good terms a while ago. Come on, I just wanna be sweet to my little sister. "  He signalled me to sit by him as he gave a warming smile. He's really comfortable to sit with. He put his arm around my shoulders.

" Yah , take care of me ok?"

What? I thought it'd be the other way around? He's older than me, shouldn't he be the one taking care of me?

I don't think he is my brother...

" Hey. Can I ask you something real quick?" I asked .

What now?  Zip it.

"Hmm?"

" What were you doing in the bathroom?"

"Oh! Haha ,I was sleeping in the bathtub. Quite unusual huh?"

Yeah totally, No shit. Why the fuck was he sleeping there? You know what? I don't even want to know.

"Okay..?" I awkwardly said. I pushed him away from me and just studied his face. Weird. Kinda like a child...

From what it looks like we're doing, we're staring at each others faces. I don't know but  it's somehow relaxing.

" What are we doing? "He asked a smile forming on his face. He's got a rectangular smile showing all his teeth which is kinda cute.

I got bored so I thought maybe start a conversation.

"I'll just tell you a little something about myself. The name is Pepper Keith Moore. I am 18 years old born on November 20 1996 . I grew up as an orphan without my fucking parents and not knowing I had an older brother.  "

You forgot something...

What the hell am I playing at.

I looked at him and his eyes were wide with confusion .

"Ehem , Oh it's my turn. My name is Kim Taehyung or you can call me V .  19 at the moment and born on December 30 1995. I like to sing and I am known for being handsome. "

" Fuck you and your ego" I chuckled slightly. He just laughed and squeezed me.

" Yah~ you're cute when you laugh!"

I just hugged him back . It feels nice not being the only one.

The scars under my sleeves suddenly started to itch. Shit. I was careful not to show him so I put my hands behind my back.

" Eh? What are you hiding dongsaeng?"

My eyes widened at his words as I scratched the itchiness of the scars behind my back.

You know the feeling when you've got an open wound and it just suddenly starts to itch? Yeah, thats exactly how it feels.

" Aha.. It's nothing really. Ne, Oppa  I think it's time you went back to your room. I want to take some rest anyway. " I bitterly spoke. Pushing him away made my heart sink,but it's best than letting him find out.

" Are we playing something? I like games especially hide and seek! "  Ignoring what I said, he stood up from the bed and went to my side to see what I was hiding .

" No! Oppa we are not playing! " I shouted slightly

" Aww dongseang is getting mad. " he giggled at his own words. Does he really think I'm playing with him?

He still was smiling widely at me as he came closer. Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Oppa get the fuck out!" I screamed this time

" Ohh .. Sorry, sorry . Ill go now. "

The smile he once had was now wiped out to a frown. I guess I must've startled him. He went out and shut the door.

I dont care. I barely know him. But, I didn't mean to right? I just didnt want him to see.

I pulled my legs close to my chest as I curled up. I looked at my sleeves ,it seems like I broke a wound. Traces of blood can be seen on the sleeves of my sweatshirt. Sigh.

"Oppa , I didn't mean to shout. I just didn't want you to see. I just didn't want you to see.. "

I kept repeating those words as I drifted to sleep.

Taehyung's P.O.V.

I can tell she's hiding something. I just gotta get a closer look.

" Oppa get the fuck out! "

She unclinged her arms from behind her and raised her arms a bit and just enough for me to see.

Scars.

Not the normal scars you get when you do something stupid.

Cuts.

She cuts. Her wounds were freshly done. Some blood seeped out.

As if everything was in slow motion, just enough for me to see.

"Ohh .. Sorry, sorry . Ill go now. "

The expression in my face immediately changed. I got up and went out the door.

What's wrong with dongseang?

I hope she's fine. Who am I kidding? Someone who clearly cuts is not fine.

Dongsaeng-ah...
