Chapter 35

*Miyoung's POV*

I'm worried for Taemin, will he be okay?

"Are you worrying for Taemin?" Oppa asked, I nodded.

"I think he won't be going school tomorrow. Do you want to go see him after school tomorrow?"

"No, I want to skip school." Oppa smiled, I looked at him.

"My little sister knows how to skip school for a guy already." He chuckled.

"Oppa!" I blushed. Aww.

*Taemin's POV*

I opened the door, hyung wasn't home yet.

The house is so quiet, so quiet to the extent that my loneliness can be felt...

I walked to the kitchen.

~Flashback~

"Appa! What are you doing!!"

I came back home from school and to see Appa cooking, thick smoke coming out from the pan.

"Isn't it obvious that I'm cooking?!"

"Are you seriously cooking or trying to burn the house down!?" I dumped my bag on the couch and roll up my sleeves.

"Go out and wait, I will cook."

"Faster, I'm hungry." He took out a can of beer from the fridge and went to the living room.

~End of Flashback~

I opened the fridge, cans of beer can be found.

I took out one can but didn't open it, I held it in my hand and walked to Appa's bedroom.

"I think I never once go to his room seriously and look before." I whispered as I browse through the photo frames he had on his table.

One of it caught my eyes.

It's a photo of hyung and me when we were young, Appa carried us each on his shoulders and Omma took the photo for us.

"Appa...." I mumbled, holding back the tears.

I left his room with the photo frame and headed towards my own room.

~Flashback~

The moment I stepped into my room, a hand came landing on my face giving me a slap.

"You bastard, aren't you working?! WHY ISN'T THERE ANY MONEY IN YOUR ROOM?!" Appa shouted at me.

"Money? All the money in this house has already been gambled away by you. DO YOU THINK MONEY FALL FROM SKY FOR ME TO PICK??"

"YOU SON OF A BITCH, HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME IN THIS WAY!" He gave me another slap.

~End of Flashback~

Appa, how I wish that as I entered the room, you will slap me with all the energy you've got.

I went into the corner of my room and sit there, looking at the photo frame and opening the can of beer I got.

"I never know I will feel so helpless if you are gone. I always thought that my life would be easier. Appa, I haven't scolded you enough for all the debts you caused you know."

I silently said.

The sky has become dark, I didn't on my lights. The only light source is the moon that is reflecting it's brightness into my room through the window.

Tears escaped from my eyes as I gulp down the can of beer.

I love you Appa, rest in peace.

I closed my eyes and rest my body, the can rolled out from my hand as I let go of it. Tears continued flowing uncontrollably.
