Fearless || ENHYPEN NI-KI

Behind the Curtains

Kim's Mansion, 2016

Someone's POV

Glasses were shattered into pieces, the freshly-picked flowers were destroyed, and the floor was a total mess. The young lady had her eyes down, couldn't even see clearly from the tears that were kept on leaking since she arrived. She was there, sitting on her bed while trying her best not to say anything to prevent making things worst. She was very tired to argue anymore. She doesn't even know if this woman in front of her, was still the same woman who loved her as a daughter.

"Why do you keep on disappointing me?" she heard this question again.

"I told you many times and I will tell you again, young lady. Do not waste your time to those useless people! Don't you skip your private lessons again or else, you will finish your studies in France, with your stepdad!" No way. She won't live there. No, not with him.

"You better start sorting out your priorities and stop meddling with that pathetic boy and his family! They thought I wouldn't know that they ordered their kid to befriended with you just for our money? Oh, they wrong!" The mother added.

"What are you saying, mom? You don't even know any of them!" the young lady didn't help but to glare at her mom. "Useless people? Pathetic boy? Do you know who's pathetic here? It is you, mother!"

"How dare you?!!" There it is. The mother slapped her daughter again as if it is the usual thing she do every time they see each other. "Do you even know how much I sacrificed for you? How does it felt when I need to leave all the things I loved behind just for your sake! All those promises that your father made but left us with nothing! And you? You have now the guts to call me pathetic? If I knew that you will become this ungrateful and useless, I should have--"

"Should have what, mother? Tell me? Say it?!!" The daughter never felt this level of hatred before. She know what exactly what her mother will say. Because she can feel it. Even after she was born, she knew it already.

The mother could not continue. Not because she cares for her, but because she needs her daughter. Not for love, but for something else. She just left the room as if she forgot to do something outside.

This was just a normal talk between NaBi and her mother. They always argue about how she acts, talks or even think. She needed to attend a dozen of classes on how to be a useful puppet for her mother. At the very young age, she learned various things that will help her manage her stepdad's business. But at this moment, she wishes nothing but freedom. She wanted to escape from this suffocating birdcage. She just doesn't know how.

Everytime she had an argument with her mom or if her stepdad arrived to their house, she would skip going to school for weeks. Her mom would just threw some excuses about her absences or bribe the school for something. Not because she doesn't want people to know that her so-called parents were abusing their daughter but because she doesn't want anyone to see her in her vulnerable state, as well as the bruises and cuts she earned every single time. After 2 weeks, she will be able to cover some of the bruises and cuts and act as if nothing happened to her. She would smile and laugh on her classmates and make jokes with them.

But little did she knew, the boy whom she spend the most of her little freedom already knew what is happening.

Sorry for the veryyy long wait!
I just can't find the time to publish this chapter but I will try to make it up for you, my silent readers.
This story was made before the boys made their debut and it was very overwhelming for me. The boys finally debuted and released 2 golden MVs already, Given-Taken and Let Me In. Please try to stream the MVs daily and vote for them on SMA and GDA for the rookie award.
