fourteen

— 3rd

the little brunette stared outside the window.
his cold hands supporting his head as his lips turn cold.
puffs of air escape through his lips and creating fog on the glass.

lifting his shaky finger, the brunette moves his finger.
drawing different shapes on the fog, a little smile plays on his lips.
his smile soon fades when he sees the first few drops of rain.

soon, it became heavier and he shivers violently.
he hears the rain hitting and splattering on the ground.
the loud echoes of the droplets murdering the roof.

loud, wet and heavy footsteps could be heard from the outside.
the little boy glanced down the window and saw his step father.
he shivered as fear crawled through his veins.

the door flew open.
it swung heavily as the footsteps become heavier.
his scary voice entered Tae's ears.

"taehyung?"

his voice sounded eerily happy.
in fear, tae answered.

"y-yes?"

"come down here this instant."

tae stood up on shaky legs.
making his way down the hard stairs, a familiar smell invades his lungs.
the brunette grimaced and scrunched up his nose at the horrible stench of alcohol.

with small steps, he finally stands in front of him.
the man grinned.
a small glint of happiness and anger sparked in his bottomless orbs.

"how was school?"

tae was taken aback by the question.
he had never been nice.
never.

"i-it was alright."

"did you get your test results?"

"y-yes."

"well?"

tae gulped.
his adam's apple bobbed up and down.
he opens his dry lips to answer.

"all a's and a b for economics."

the man growled angrily.
a loud ringing echoed in the brunette's ears.
feeling dizzy and seeing stars, he realised that he had been hit.

"fucking bitch, you couldn't even get all a's?"

another strong punch landed at his stomach.
more kicks and punches.
the pain stopped and tae, who was laying on the floor, heard the belt buckle.

the sound of rain still the background to this horrible day.
the heavy belt buckle hit his frail body.
tae screamed in agony.

"shut up!"

another hit from the belt buckle.
and another.
and another, and that sent his straight to darkness.
