Save Me /SKZxREADER\

♤~~~~~~CHAPTER 12~~~~~~♤

"I will don't worry, now drive home safe please," I say as Soobin gets in the car.

"Mhm, goodnight," He says, waving out the window and driving off.

"Okay, try and be quiet while going inside. Put your stuff back and shower. I'll take some leftover up so we can eat," I say, stopping at the door and telling Jiwoo before going inside. She gives me a nod, and we quietly head inside.

We walk down the hall and pass the living room seeing our dad pass out with once again beer bottles around him. We hurried up, and Jiwoo did as I told her.

She organized her stuff and got in the shower. I went to my room and organized me stuff as well. Once I was done, I headed downstairs to clean and get food for Ji and I.

I picked up the empty beer bottles scattered everywhere in the living, quietly and carefully, making sure not to wake my dad. After I cleaned up the rest, I got a blanket and pillow from upstairs and took it back down to my dad so he wouldn't be cold.

I carefully lifted his head, sliding the pillow under him, and placed it head back down. I unfolded the blanket and put it over him, making sure that we were fully covered. I sat there staring at him for a bit.

I could tell he was crying, seeing his eyes a bit puffy and tear stains on his cheeks. I know his also missed our mother, but he chose the wrong way to deal with his sadness. I've tried many times to get him to stop and see a therapist, but it never worked.

I know what you think, why don't I call the police on him? Why don't we go live with another family member? Why are we still here? I wish it was that easy.

All our grandparents died, so they obviously can't take us in, and our other family members hate my dad and us blaming us for my mother's death, so they want nothing to do with us.

Now the police I won't even try, they'll take my father into jail for all they things he's done to us but that thought doesn't sit still with me. At the end of the day, he is our father, and despite everything, he managed to keep a roof over our head even tho I pay most of the bills.

But also, if they take my father and we have no over place to live, they take us into foster care. The thought of goings there hurts my heart. They won't be able to grant that Jiwoo and I will stay together, and I promise my mother that I'll never leave Ji and I'll always portective her.

She'd be most likely to get adopted since she is younger, but we just have to hold out another year until I can get full custody of Jiwoo, and we can leave far away and start new.

Well, that was my beginning plan, but now that Bang Chan and the rest have entered my life, I want to stay around a bit lo her and at least go to college here before leaving.

Soobin and the other know about my plan, and they've supported me also saying that they'll with us. They offered for us to live at their place multiple times, but I refused. We aren't there responsible, and I don't want to add more to Soobin plate.

I sat there lost in thought until I heard a small whispering voice coming from the hall. I look up seeing Jiwoo peeking around the corner.

"What?" I whispered quitely, getting up from where I was sitting.

"I'm hungryyy," Jiwoo whispers back.

I lightly smiled, signaling for her to follow me to the kitchen, which she quickly tip toes to my side. We go into the kitchen and grab some leftover from the fridge.

Jiwoo filled to glasses with water and went to place them at the table while heated up the food. I went with the two plates in hand and placed one in front of Ji and one in front of myself.
