"Leave my mother alone!"

The determined eight year old boy yelled from where he stood bravely

Realizing,his mother widened her eyes in horror at the outburst her son did.

"No,Jaehyun!Don't defend me!Run away!Now!"

It was ridiculous of her to worry about her son when she's the one that was bruised badly and was on the dirty floor looking uncomfortable.

But thats just the thoughts of eight year old Jaehyun.
He's still the clueless and naive boy who doesn't understand that his mother would give up her life just for him.

The abusive man turned suddenly from where he stand and walked slowly towards the little boy.

"Wait!No!Please don't hurt my son!"

The stubborn man ignored her and continue to walk to the youngest of the three.

"Run away,Jaehyun!"

Jaehyun can hear his mother perfectly,but he still hasn't moved an inch.

He's not going to be a coward and watch his mother get harm when he's still breathing.

The evil six foot man stopped in his tracks and just stood over the boy in silence while squinting his eyes.

He then smirked.

"You really are a dumb kid."

The hit was so hard and fast that Jaehyun wasn't able to catch up and wasn't able to dodge the attack.

His mother screamed loudly and tears excape her eyes furiously like a waterfall.

Jaehyun was hit.
He was hit across his youthful face by the man he hated the most.

"You are pathetic just like your mother.I made a mistake of falling inlove with her and I should've left when she had gotten pregnant with a brat like you."

That was it.
That was the day that Jaehyun was sure he hated his father.
There was no longer room inside Jaehyun's heart for this horrible man.

He went through so many years being miserable by having to hear his mother screams everynight.
Having to witness the bruises on her delicate body.

The worst part was that all she can say was,
"I'm Fine."

When she's not.

He was tired of seeing his mother working hard by herself and to be beaten by his foolish father.

Jaehyun was tired of everything.
So tired,that he pulled a knife out of his left pocket on his jeans and stabbed his father.

He's just so tired of it all.

And this was only 15 years ago.
