— Chapter One —

Yanna's POV

I woke up by a shout coming from my living room with dad and mum, I got up and peeked into the living room.

"Who's the man with you?! Soo-hyun?!" dad shouted, dad's hand was about to cross mum's cheek but I immediately ran to it and pushed mum away from dad.

Instead of mum getting a slap, it was me. I could feel the pain and redness on my left cheek because of the heaviness of dad's hand.

I adjusted my position and looked into dad's eyes, dad's eyes filled with anger because of what I had done defending mum.

"Yanna! What are you doin' here?!" dad shouted angrily at me, mum held me on my shoulder I looked at mum and smiled.

In the five years that dad has been hurting me, my brother and my mum, I can no longer bear to just be quiet in my room and pretend I can't hear mum's screams and cries of pleading.

I am seventeen years old already, and I need to protect myself and my mother from my father. My abusive father.

"Dad, how many times have you hurt us because of your useless jealousy?" I cry question, Yanna, don't cry you need to be strong for your mother.

"That mother of yours has a boyfriend, at the retailer—" mum interrupted dad with a loud slap.

My lips parted because of what I saw, mum was already in front of me and she was throwing a death glare to dad.

"Zander! Alexander is your friend! And we're talking about the another business that you're going to build!" mum shouted at dad.

"Why are you still making excuses Soo-hyun?" dad asked as his jaw tightened.

"Yanna," I looked at the caller, my older brother Suhon showed a bag. I quietly walked to his room but I was suddenly pulled by my hair.

I cried out in pain, "Yanna, who are you going with?" dad asked, I bit the lower part of my lips.

"YANNA ARABELLA AREVALLE YOU ANSWER!" dad shouted, I pushed dad hard away from us and mum.

"I'm coming with my mother, after all you're just hurting us." I said, dad was going to chase us but I dragged mum to brother Suhon's room.

We both closed the door so that dad could not enter, I helped my older brother to block the cabinet on the door of the room.

Suhon and I sat down together, we both sighed. We looked at mum.

"We're going back to Daegu tonight," mum said seriously, Suhon and I smiled.

"Is it okay? Have you packed yet Yanna?" Suhon asked, I nodded and zippered my bag.

"All set brother," I said with a smile, we only need to wait about two hours to get out of dad's house.

I sat down next to brother Suhon, I looked at Suhon's wallet. It was stamped by the grain of his tears that appeared from his eyes.

"Why are you still hiding that brother? Don't you remember? Namshin left us," I said sadly, but there was a mixture of annoyance in the tone of my voice.

"He will come back Yanna. He will come back Yanna," Suhon said smiling, I stand and wiped the tears from my eyes.

"Woah, are you still hoping? It's been three years when Namshin left us." I said angrily.

"Yanna, he left because he was getting depressed or—" I cut him off, I stood up and crossed my arms in front of my older brother Suhon.

"Suhon, I wish he had taken the three of us with mum. I am only twelve years old when dad started to abuses us and you were only eighteen by that time, he is the oldest of the three of us then he will just leave us in this hell?" I said.

"Yanna, I know you are upset at Namshin but please forgive him," said brother Suhon. I sighed and shook my head.

"No way, never."

Two hours passed and the night got darker, when I saw dad asleep in his room I immediately signaled to brother Joon and mum to come out.

When they got out, I was about to run at the main door. But I suddenly cried out when someone pulled me.

"Yanna!" mum and brother Suhon shouted, I looked at dad holding my hoodie.

"You think so? I'll let you all leave?" dad asked, I looked at brother Suhon who was obviously nervous.

Mum was about to come back when older brother Suhon stopped her, I turned to dad and smiled.

"Dad, don't worry I won't leave you." I said and smiled sweetly at him, dad smiled and touched my shoulder.

I immediately stepped on dad's foot and ran out of our house, I immediately closed the main door.

I hugged brother Suhon and mum, we both sighed in relief.

We finally escaped the hell of our home.

"Take a sip on my secret potion, I'll make you fall in love~" Suhon and I sang while our headsets were slamming into our ears.

We are now on a plane to South Korea, all I know is that we may be able to land there in South Korea tomorrow.

"I can't believe that we are really free," smiling Suhon said, I also smiled and looked out the window.

"Brother look, what's nice below? Pure light," I said happily as I looked outside.

"You're like a kid." Suhon said teasing, I giggled and looked at him.

"I am seventeen years old for heavens sake bro, bloody hell." I rolled my eyes at him, he laughed at me.

"You're back in your potterhead race." Annoyed he said, I smiled at him.

"Why do you like twilight brother so much?" I asked Suhon while opening my copy of harry potter and the goblet of fire book.

"Because it's more relatable than your Harry Potter." Brother Suhon replied, I glared at him. I also laughed sarcastically, and nodded.

"So, you're a werewolf? You're a wolf?" I sarcastically asked him, he rolled his eyes at me.

"Come on brother Suhon, Harry Potter is more relatable. The way James and Lily sacrificed their lives to their one and only son Harry is so relatable." I said while acting wiping the tears from my eyes.

"Oh really? Why, are you a witch?" he asked sarscasticly.

"No, but Harry Potter is full of love." We just kept arguing about our favorite movie and book until we both fell asleep.
