Hana's POV

Taking a deep breath, I walked away from the door, quietly closing the door behind me.

An uncomfotable feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. Oppa looked ticked. I decided to the usual family practice. No explanations and no confrontations. I waved, smiled like nothing was wrong and headed towards the bathroom.

"Where have you been?" His lips slightly grazed my ear as he spoke spitefully in it.

Oppa's fingers gripped my hand.

"What the heck?" I murmured.

" 'What the heck' Kim Hana. Really? 'What the heck'? " Oppa repeated.

"Don't you think you are being rude to your brother?" He added.

"Do you need me to repeat the question Kim Hana? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Oppa screamed, tightening his grip around my wrist.

I flinched at the tone of his voice. This was not my brother. My brother was a nice person who only had nice things to say about his sister. He never once dared lay a hand on me. What happened to my brother who was always careful with his words. This person in front of me was like a beast. His fingernails were digging into my skin like sharp claws. His eyes looked as if he was staring into my soul, searching for answers.

"I w...went to my friend's house to study," I replied. I closed my eyes. I did not dare to looked at him. I would only get into deeper trouble.

"Study? Really? Till 2.30 in the morning? I can't believe that you are this hardworking Kim Hana,"  HIs eyes were dark and narrowed.

I winced from the pressure when his fingers wrapped around my wrist even more tightly. My heart pounded in my chest. I opened my eyes slowly, wary of his actions and reactions. I stared at him for a full two seconds. His face was contorted with fury. His eyes were practically flaming and I knew immediately that something was irking him.

"Oppa?"

"So you thought it is okay to have a tattoo on your arm and hand? It is okay for me to get called to the school countless of times? It is okay to have so many piercings in one ear? It is okay to go out with a guy from a gang?"

"W-what?" My eyes widened. My back was pressed against the bathroom door as he glared down at me.

H-how could he know? I did not tell anyone. The shock robbed me of any speech. A cold chill ran down my spine. The cold night pierced my boned. He could not know. He should not know. He should never know. I opened my mouth to apparently return something challenging back but quickly closed it as I surely did not know what to say since the answer was unexpected. I felt the whole world collapsing on me. Why did he have to know?!

"Nothing to say? Feeling guilty? Do you know how I feel all this while?" Oppa leaned down so that his face was practically centimeters from mine.

I rolled my eyes and pushed him back slightly but he didn't budge. Oppa was starting to annoy me."I am sixteen for god's sake. I am old enough to make my own decisions. I do not need your consent. I really went to my friend's hou
