-I stepped on my half consumed cigar as soon as I heard shouts coming from the Yoon's household. Judging from the voices it was Jeonghan and Jiha who's arguing...

'Again'

"Do you know what time is it? Are you even aware of what you did wrong? Do you know why I'm getting mad huh? Yoon Jiha?"

-hindi na bago na umuwi si Jiha ng ganitong oras simula nung nagkaroon sila ng hindi pagkakaintindihan, pero ito ang unang pagkakataon na inabot na sya ng mag uumaga.

"Answer me Jiha!"

-Jeonghan is on full range. He's breathing heavily and glaring wide at his sister. But that doesn't knock a single sense on her and forced her way on the stairs despite of Jeonghan blocking it with his whole body.

"Yoon Jiha! I'm talking to you!"

-she faced him with irritated expression and drop her school bag letting it jump a few steps on the stairs.

"WHY DO YOU FVKIN' CARE?! It's not as if I'm still a kid!"

"Exactly! Hindi kana bata. Dalagang babae ka na hindi dapat nagpapagabi sa kalsada. Naiintindihan moba ang sinasabi ko?"

-I caught someone's shadow upstairs. It's Jeonghans father who probably got disturbed by the shouts.

"Don't play the good brother here! You are not! No one cares about me! No one cares about my feelings!"

-what happened next was beyond unbelievable. I wasn't expecting it at all. Jeonghan can never do that. My breath hitched as I witnessed Jeonghan leap and slap his own sister.

"If you think no one in this family cares for you then you should leave and find one that will care for you as much as we do!"

"Jeonghan tama na yan!"

-my mind stopped processing everything. I'm not even sure of what to feel anymore. The next thing I knew, Mr. Yoon is already holding both of Jeonghans wrist stopping him from shaking Jiha's shoulder. Jiha is already crying and looks like on a great shock.

"Go upstairs and rest now Jiha"

"Ayos kalang ba?"

-I found him sitting on the benches outside shortly after the scene. I lit another cigar as I sit next to him.

"Why are you asking? You saw what I did"

"I know"

"I don't deserve your care"

"Don't be too harsh on yourself Han"

-I looked at the solemn looking sky and puff my cigarette. I honestly don't know how to comfort him but I'm letting the gods guide me.

"You only did that out of range, Jiha's really hitting a nerve these days"

"More like I hit a nerve and that caused her some permanent damage Cheol"

-He smiled. I don't like it. It's straightup fake and It's strange...

"Don't try to make me feel better. I've gotten worst"
