Chorong POV

The door closes.chanyeol is out again.....Most likely sleeping over with exo.....I'm Chorong, Park Chorong. I live with my brother,

Chanyeol or more known as Yeol or Yeollie and my parents. Well yeah, happy family blah blah blah but no, I don't have a happy

family, more of like me and Chanyeol don't have a happy family...Enough with the introduction, time to start.

------------

I was at home, alone, with my parents and it was 2 am. I guessing Yeol here got tired of our parents quarrels in the middle of the

night. I'm still awake, I don't really know why......maybe I could not sleep or maybe I had a bad dream? I don't know....you don't

know....nobody knows. I was siting at my study table, writing god knows what. It's 2 am, what do you want me to do? Be like Yeol and 

knock on apink's dorm and say "hi! Can I stay here for the night?" Pft.....only Yeol would do that. Suddenly I heard somebody giving 

the other person a tight slap on the face. It was my parents again. I really don't know what they fight about....all I hear is shouting,

screaming and crying...I've been enduring this for the past....I don't know.....21 years? Yeol's 20 so ya know...little bro....Well...back 

to the topic...Then I heard a glass break. "Oh no.....Dad better not hurt Mum..." I said aloud, even if my parents fought, I still loved

them. 

------------

I hear Mum's cries again.....I can hear her begging him to stop....I can hear everything....I was upset of course. I was going to pull

open that door and storm into their room asking them to shut up, but the I remembered what Joonmyun, one of Yeol's friends in exo,

taught me....count to ten

------------

1. I closed my eyes, imagining a beautiful garden filled with freshly bloomed spring flowers alround me

2. I breathed in and out, I was losing my temper already

3. I bit my lower lip, I would not even know if its bleeding cause all I'm tasting now is hate

4. I dropped the pen on the hard wooden floor, everything stopped for a few seconds when I did that

5. I felt hot tears weld up in my eyes. "This is not happening....no....it can't be...." I thought

6. I crushed the paper that I was scribbling on, tore it out from the book and threw it on the floor  

7. I stood up from my chair, almost sending the chair flying backwards

8. I felt a tear roll down my left cheek as I turned around shakily  

9. I walked to the door, put my shaky hands on the door knob

10. I managed to open the door as I felt tears streaming down

------------

I stormed upstairs to my parents room.

I really wish Joonmyun or any exo boys...or even apink girls could stop my spark I've created, the spark that will soon become a flame

as I walk to my parents room. Nobody was here to help me, my pride is gone as I cried like a new born child, nobody was going to

stop this walking flame....Not even I could.....BAM was all I heard as I slammed the door open.

------------

The thing that first greets me was my mother kneeling on the ground with my dad, holding a broken glass bottle, ready to hit my

mum's head and let her bleed to death. "Stop it will you?!?!?" I shouted, well, more of screamed. My mum looked at me with a tear

soaked eyes while my dad gave me a soul pricing stare. "If you had listened to me and Chanyeol, this would have never happened!

All you needed to do was listen!" I screamed with all my voice I actually had left.

------------

My dad walked up to me and gave me a big slap right in the face. Surprisingly, I did not feel the pain, all I felt was his haterd on me

right now. I looked away, feeling a tear run down my cheek as I looked at him in the eye. "Well.....your not done are you? Then

continue! Beat the life out of me while your at it!" The shouted in his face. "You guys had to just give us sometime...to say what we

had too....and not say that it's an adult problem and drive us out!We'er smart ok?I did not sleep a wink!I had to comfort little Chanyeol

like I'm his mom!" Then I sent a death glare at my mom and stared back at my dad "Do what ever you want....I'm tired of your lies.."

i said weekly as I turned around. I felt another tear stream down my cheek. I ran down the stairs and opened the main door. The first

thing that greeted me was the cold December wind.

------------

 The wind blew against my red cheeks as I ran out of the house, crying as I ran like there was no tomorrow. I felt cold, I was only

wearing tights and a long sleeved shirt and that was it to warm up my small body from the cold, strong wind. "They've really forgot 

how to stop......" I thought. I was looking down as I ran to the unknown when I bumped into someone. "Miahne.....chinjia miahne"

i said to the person in front of me, I bowed slightly 2 times and suddenly at the 2nd bow, my head felt like someone hit it with a

baseball bat. I touched my head when I heard a familiar man's voice "Chorong?What are you doing here so late at night?" The last

thing I could remember was telling myself it was Joonmyun, then everything out.

------------

Joonmyun POV 

I could not sleep.....I don't know why....maybe guiltily cause I did not go the exo and apink's sleepover?i don't know....maybe that's the

reason. I decided to take a walk down the street to get some street food. While I was walking, a girl bumped into me. I realised it was  

Yeol's sister, Chorong."Chorong?What are you doing here so late at night?" I asked, then she collapsed on the ground, leaving me in

shock. I took her back to my place, that was when I found out that she had fainted from coldness as she was only wearing one layer of

clothing. "Aish....this girl.....it's the middle of December......" I shook my head as I placed her on my bed and tucked the covers up for

her. I watched her sleep, she did not really move but you could she her shivering. I was getting tired too so I climbed in bed with her

and hugged her tightly in my strong arms, that was when she stopped shivering and even snuggled closer to the warmth which was

me.

------------

Chorong POV

The next day, I woke up. I was not really clear of what happened yesterday.....so as I sat up,I stared at the 18 people sleeping on the

floor while I was sleeping on a sofa. I scratched my head as my vision became clearer. Those 18 people were exo and apink! And I

was at Joonmyun's house! "How did I even get here?" Then I saw Joonmyun, sleeping peacefully beside me....
