Some story doesn't always end up with a happy ending. But, can I have it after what I've been through all this time? The only answer I heard is silence, accompanied by the darkness of the night which embrace me with it's coldness of autumn wind.

Chanyeol’s  POV

Is it a sin to be born and turn a harmonious family into a chaotic family? Whoa, if it is, I’m already done my first sin since I was born. I don’t know what trigger them to fight and spite at each other every time.

I don’t know if they ever had a serene moment before I come to this world. The only happy moment I remembered is when mom baked us cakes to celebrate dad and my 3rd birthday. That night, when dad come from his work, we gave him a little surprise. I think because daddy had a rough time at work, he only blow his candle, kiss me on the forehead and on mom’s cheek, he went straight to bed. Mom told me to cut the cake and eat it. I ate the cake happily because it’s so yummy and I got a big portion too, in front of me mom is smiling too. Ah I feel so blessed to have her as my mom, she is all I want in this world and God gave her for free to me. She told me to be a healthy and happy kid in the future, because mom really likes it when I’m smiling from ear to ear. So I leaned to the front and kiss mom cheeks while saying “Chanyeol loves mommy so much!” and I heard mommy giggling then pinch my chubby cheek “Mom love Channie too!”

Things started to go downhill after that. I rarely see dad and mom’s smile slowly leave her lips. Is it me? Is it me who makes my mom crying every time behind that bedroom door? I don’t understand every single thing, my age is 5 years old that time. Mom always tells me that everything okay and I believe it. She tells me to play in my room every time the clock hand showing 8 p.m. and I follow her instruction. Oh yeah it’s time to play with my new robot, it’s cool and has a laser light on his eyes, mom tell me that the robot made to make bad people disappeared, so I feel safe near it. After kiss me goodbye, she out of the door. Today theme is monster invasion to the town. Wuuuush wuuuush the monster want to attack the building where daddy is working! Oh no! I should attack it first! The monster lash out it’s tail! And…… PRAKKKK. What sound is it? I don’t smash the monster’s tail to the building yet. Ugh I want to pee. I think I drink banana milk too much.

The bathroom is located past the living room. So, when I go out, I see dad with mom sitting by the sofa. I want to hug daddy! I miss him so much! But when I want to approach him, I see the shattering glass on the floor then daddy quickly get up from sofa, mom trying to stop him and…… he slaps mommy’s cheek. I’m so afraid that time that I retreat from my standing place, to hide. He isn’t my dad, my dad is always kind and caring person. Who is it? Who is he? With the last yell “I want us to divorce!” he slammed the door, the resonating sound is too deafening for me. I’m afraid. This time, mom crying louder on the floor, her leg’s injured because of the shattered glass. I hate this. I hate this situation. With my long strides, I go to my room to grab my pokemon aid kit and my robot then go to hug mom fragile body. Mom seems shocked that I still wake up but she hugs me tight. I don’t afraid anymore. My chest is hurting so bad. It feels likes fire start to burn in my heart. With robot in one hand and mom hugging me, I whisper to the robot,

“Robot, can you please kill my father?”
