Me, My Six Brothers, & My Long Lost Brother

Pain

The atmosphere of the room grew tremendously tense as Sunhi explained her story, " when I actually woke up everything was dark I couldn't see a thing, my head was pounding, my ears began to ring a little but I could still hear was the sound a dripping water in the distance and smell a god awful oder that I couldn't quit put my finger on. I could tell I was sitting on a chair my hands were tied up along with my legs which caused me to panic. I couldn't see nor move I was stuck so I did what any kid would do cry and call out for my parents. I must have annoyed the person who was standing out the door because he screamed at me to shut the hell up before He give something to cry about. Mind you I barely turned six the caused my cry even hard which made the man even more angry because next thing I know I was crying out in pain with my cheeks stinging. Since I still made a noise I received more of the some punishment my face by now was numb my lip was swollen and tears still fell as I whimpered out for my uncle. That's when our uncle decided to speak up I don't know if he was watching this happen or he happen just walked but Six year old me was relieved that the man stopped punishing me. I felt hands untie the rag from around my eyes allowing my eyes to adjust to a dimly lit room I was placed in." Sunhi face finally showed some emotion it's was pure anger her hands curled into fist until her knuckles turned white and blood began to drip from them from how much force she had them curled up.

Lay immediately jumped up from where he was sitting and quickly knelt in front of Sunhi smiling softly. One by one he grabbed her hands and gently encouraged her to uncurl them. He examines the wonds before both of his hands above hers, " you have to be careful when you do this. It can cause damage to the nerves in your hands" lay removed his hands revealing smooth skin smiling Lay looked into Sunhi widen eyes "be careful, okay" in response she thanked my quitely lay quickly returned to his seat next to Suho smiling softly

Sunhi stared at her hands a little longer before clearing her throat to continue, "um, our uncle looked clean nothing was out of place he had changed into a suit. He leaned down so he was eye level to me giving me the chilling smile and said everything is okay Sunhi as long as you behave you won't get hurt. But the
first sentence I said triggered something in him, I wanted to know where my daddy was and asked him why he was doing this to me. I don't know how long the beating lasted I was covered in so many bruises some were already turned to this horrible color. I couldn't breathe properly now I'm positive I had a broken rib or two I don't know I just remember I was in so much pain and wanted to go home. He was so angry at what I didn't know."

MinHyunk jumped in to fill in "I remember our parent frantically trying to get in touch with our uncle that night with little to no luck. Beyond worried at this point both our parents decided to go looking for them so mom called our grandparents to come watch us and asked me and Daesoo to help them if they needed help with anything while they were gone. We were about 15 and 14 around that time, so we remember quite a bit of what was happening even when they tried to make things seem like everything was okay." Daesoo signal to Sunhi to continue

" I must have passed out from my injuries because the sounds of gunfire and shouting is what woke me up. God I was so scared that night I really thought I was going die. I heard footsteps running towards the room I was in, whoever was trying to get in was slamming their body against the door to force it open. One the frame gave in that's when I saw dad I cried my eyes out at the sight of him, mom followed behind gasping at the sight of my body." A sad smile formed on Sunhi's face " she tried to hide the horror in her as she wiped the tears and dried blood off my face telling me that everything is okay. Dad gently ushered her to untied hands and feet while he try his best to calm me down knowing mom was a mess from seeing me in such a state. Calmly he checked my injuries angrily talked to mom about our uncle, that when he, our uncle decided to grace us with is presence joined by about thirty men. Him and dad began arguing about how our uncle grew jealous of our dad apparently they both loved our mom but our mom loved dad. He could stand the fact that he was rejected and if he couldn't have her then no one can. I remember him aiming a gun towards us as he told our dad that if he have to he'll even kill us, their kids... for our mom, thats when dad shot in leg." Sunhi pauses longer than last trying to keep in her tears by biting her lip. Sungjae placed a arm around her

"He laughed hysterically slowly standing back on to his feet, mom went in front of me telling me how much she loved us that they will always be there. She hugged me I felt her tears damp the shirt I worn that day dad turn around fully mouthing the I words I love you as I watched him get shot with so many bullets. Mom tried her best to keep my eyes in here gaze but all I could see was his lifeless body laying there. I felt her trembling lips place a gental kiss on my forehand before stand in front of me ready to shot knowing she was out numbered she still aimed her gun. But before she could pull the trigger they were ready and shot her before she could there was so much blood and I couldn't stop screaming. I... I held on to them shaking for them to wake up but they didn't I watched they bleed out in front of me as our uncle laughed saying that he'll back for me and my brothers when we are older how he wants us to feel hatred towards the man who took our parents away. He left me there for I don't know how long trying to hold on to our parents cold no lifeless body. Next there I remember is waking up three days later in a hospital bed." Sunhi allowed the tears to finally fall silently

The room stayed quite for what seems like hours as everyone process the horrific incident Sunhi had to experience as a young child and the tragedy of their beloved parents death. Sunhi looked up from her lap towards their guest and brother Kai was being held by kyungsoo as he cried into his arms the rest of them had tears in their eyes. Suho who seemed to be a tad bit calmer stood up and walked over to Sunhi offering his hand. Stunned and a little confused Sunhi accepted his hand only to be pulled into such a loving hug it was so warm and the fragrance of his body mist gently soothed her frigid body. Returning the hug Sunhi let it all out she didn't realize she was holding onto so much until now but she glad her brother has such an amazing friend.

"Let it out, I can't imagine going through something like at such a young age. I can read people very well and you've been holding on to a lot more than you led on it can go unnoticed. I can see why now though you want make to sure your brothers don't have to worry about you but it's time to let go." Suho rubbed her back gently encouraging her to let all of her pain go.
