(JR POV) Two weeks later

I can’t stand this anymore. I always endure this, but this time, I could burst. Today my father came home late. I mean, very late. And he was drunk. And, you know when someone drunk, they would do anything. He roughly pushed my mother to the floor. She cried in pain. I tried to calm him down, but he punched me in face. Then he yelled, “What’s your business?! Bastard!!” I couldn’t think again. I just… punched him on the stomach. He shouted in pain and hold his stomach.

And then, the next thing I knew, it happened so fast. He kicked me hardly till I fell. And then he kept punched me, slapped me, and kicked me again on the floor.

That’s it.

I pushed him hardly and now attacked him. My mom yelled “No! Don’t! Jonghyun!” but I don’t even care. He shouted and called me ‘ungrateful kid’ that made my heart ached again. Then I just walked out from the house. “Jonghyun! Where are you going?!” my mom shouted at me. “GO!! DON’T COME BACK!!!” that man shouted at me angrily.

I know I should do this from long time ago. I just walk aimlessly until I arrived at the lake again. Yeah, a big lake nears my house. It’s often for recreation and entertainment place for other people, but for me, this is where I relaxing myself, away from trouble for a moment. I stand up for a couple of minutes, and sat down on the ground.

I sit down again on the edge of the lake again. I almost couldn’t feel the tears that run down from my eyes.

Why always like this?

I wiped the tears as I stared at the lake, blankly.

Then I heard someone approached me. I quickly wiped my tears, and looked at the noise maker.

It was one of my neighbors, Mr. Kwak.

“Hey, Jonghyun. What are you doing here?” he asked, sat beside me.

“You know, just finding peace in here,” I smiled.

“It’s your parents again, right?” he asked sat beside me. I looked at the ground.

“It’s okay,” he said as he rubbed my back.

“Thank you, sir,” I said again. We’re fell silence for minutes. All that I could hear was the sound of water and frogs.

“Say, would you come to my house? You can sleep there tonight,” he standing up now.

I couldn’t think any better idea. So I just agreed. “If you don’t mind.”

“Sure. But I have a son though… He’s on your age, and still in high school. I’m afraid you will sleep on his room,” he said as we walked. I quite surprised. I didn’t know he had son. Well, I didn’t know anything except him and his wife. The nicest people I know. I offered help when their first day at Korea, cleaned house, arranged anything, something like that. Then Mrs. Kwak sometimes made me something to eat. It was nice though. I wish I had parents like them.

“Okay, I guess. I hope your kid doesn’t mind,” I said.

“Oh, he is a good boy. He will understand,” he said as we walked again.
