Ahnjong's POV

"Ahnjong! Why the fuck are you moving so slow, you bitch?!" Mom shouted

I hurriedly took my bag with me and ran downstairs. My Mom was glaring at me as if I have done something wrong.

"What took you so long?! You are supposed to prepare our food!" Mom shouted once again and hit my head

"I'm sorry. I was preparing for my class-"

"Class?! Hahaha! Are you stupid?! You don't have any money to finish school! Just go and fuck someone rich." she said and smoked her cigarette

"Where's the food?" my stepfather asked as soon as he entered the house

I hurriedly prepared the food and while I was panicking the plate slipped off of my hand and it shattered into pieces.

"You dumb bitch!" stepfather shouted and went to me. He took a piece of glass and cut my hand with it.

I screamed in pain and cried it all out. He is not yet satisfied and even pulled my hair all the way to the living room.

"Please stop!" I cried and kept screaming

"You are fucking stupid!" he shouted and punched me in my stomach, "I don't even know why your Mom gave birth to someone like you!" then he stormed out of the house

I was crying and was having a hard time catching my breath after what he did. My Mom didn't even do anything and was smoking her cigarette like she didn't hear anything.

"Mom..." I whispered while crying

"That's your fault. Clean up the mess and leave the house before he even kills you. If only I knew my life would be like this, I should've killed you when you were a baby." she said and went upstairs

My tears kept falling after hearing those words. This wasn't the first time this happened. I can't even count with my fingers. I don't remember when this started.

I cleaned the shattered pieces and covered the food that they didn't touch. I left the house hurriedly after I wiped the blood on my hand and fixed my hair.

Everyone in the neighborhood was staring at me. I knew that they heard everything and they are aware of what those two have done.

All I know is after my Dad died she was so mad at me and uses drugs. She would hurt me when she loses her temper. Then she brought that man home, and would use drugs with him. He would hurt me as well and she is not doing anything to stop it.

As I arrived in the university, I went to the restroom and fixed myself. How did I enter this university without money? I am a scholar. I need to maintain my high grades in order to stay here and finish.

"Moon Ahnjong?" Heejin called, one of the rich students of this university, "What happened to your face?!"

"This is nothing-"

"Your stepfather did this to you! That asshole needs to be in prison." she angrily said and tears fell from her eyes

"No. If he will go to prison, he will drag my Mom with him. I can't leave without her."

"You can live with me, Ahnjong. You are a sister to me." Heejin said and hugged me tight

She is my bestfriend and she has been helping me with a lot of things. I tutor her in return of giving me meals everyday. She sometimes pay for the things I need in school.

"Let's go to the clinic. You need to get treated." she said, and before I even talk, she dragged me to the clinic

The school nurse treated the cut on my hand and made sure I was okay. I can see how worried Heejin was. She is making sure that the nurse is asking me about any wound or bruises.

"I'm okay, Heejin."

"You're not! Can you even see yourself?!" she annoyingly asked

I smiled at her.

Her phone rang and she went outside to answer it.

"Don't you wanna report this? Ahnjong, you are always here and making your bruises and wounds treated. Don't you wanna stop your suffering?" school nurse worriedly asked

"I'm okay. It was my fault anyway."

"Okay. I will respect your decision. I want you to go here and tell me if you want to stay at my place. You are not a stranger to me." she smiled at me

I nodded as I smiled at her back.

I left the clinic and didn't found Heejin outside. I was walking to my classroom when I realized that I forgot to buy something for my next class.

"Ah really." I whispered to myself as I walked to the gate of our university

I went to the nearest store and bought it. My group assigned each of us to bring something and I volunteered to buy different colors of paper. That was the thing I afford the most, and bought it cheap.

"Excuse me." a man asked who is wearing a tuxedo

"Good morning. Yes?"

"I was wondering if you belong to class 4B?" he asked once again

"Uh... Yes. How did you know? Are you looking for someone there?"

"It's her." he said, and two other guys who are wearing tuxedos came out of the car

When I realized that something is not right. I hurriedly ran, but they were so fast and successfully caught me. I screamed so loud but they covered my mouth.

They brought me in the car and I was trying my best to ran away- But they covered my mouth with a handkerchief. I started getting sleepy when I heard something.

"We found Yu Katsumi."
