Min pov
I woke to the sound of Yoongi panicking. He was tapping my shoulder aggressively until I was fully awake. Why is he so scared? I sat up in confusion staring at his even paler than usual face.
"Min!"
"What? Whats happe-"
*BEEP* *BEEP*
"Who is that??" I am also starting to panic.
"Please tell me it isn't him. No. Please." Yoongi was starting to whimper in front of me hugging me tightly.
Yoongi pov
I knew it was him. I tried to deny it. It isn't like he is gonna disappear because of all my pleads. I just stopped. I listened to the wooziness of the beeping and Min whispering loudly at me, the words sounding like slush. My arms just fell to my sides. I wasn't clinging onto Min anymore. I just sat. I can't think anything. I'm just frozen.
I slowly say, "It's my father, he's come to take me back. Min, please don't let him. I don't want to go back."
"I'll try Yoongs. If you do get taken away by your dad, here."
Min gets up to go into her pockets of a sweater. She pulls out a small object and gently wraps it in one of her cloth headbands. She slowly pushes it into my quivering hands.
"It's my pocketknife."
"But why are you giving it to me..?"
"I want you to keep it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, so if you know, we are not near each other or we are really far way you have it, so I really am there."
"Oh, you think it might happen now?"
"Well, your dad seems ready to run this house door down, and I rather not give Jan any problems, she treated us so well."
Min you don't understand, don't leave again. Please.
"I don't wanna go."
*BEEP BEEP*
We both jump from the sudden noise now.
"Yoongs, this is hard for me too, we are just little kids, we can't even get anywhere without some old person taking care of us, it's not that easy to just escape from your dad, no way I can escape my parents, they are coming in less than 3 days, remember?" Min rapidly says this to me.
Min pov
This is really hard for me. But, I have to be strong for Yoongi. He needs me to help him get through this, even if I have to get ripped away from him.
*BANG* *BANG* BANG*
"Min..", Yoongi cried out desperately.
"It has to be your dad banging on the door. We should wait for him to come. I want to be here through the bad and good."
"O-okay," his voice breaks my heart.
*BANG*
"HEY, Min Yoongi! Where are you? Huh? You little brat!"
*BANG BANG*
"Once I get this damned door open your gonna get it!"
*More incoherent curses and banging*
We are huddling so close next to each other, I can feel his breathing on my neck, his sweating forehead pressed against my head.
"Don't ever forget about me Yoongs."
"I will never Min. Promise."
Yoongi pov
The door is slammed open.
A familiar face appears on an angry man's body.
"Brat, get over here!" He screams in rage.
"Who is this girl? Hey, I know you, you're that girl I saw in the rain that day, huh, well you won't be able to see the rain again after I'm through with you.
He grabs me harshly by the arm but I cling onto Chu Min for dear life. And I'm afraid for my life, I know what my dad can do. While he shakes Min off me violently, she screams once my father starts slapping me senseless, continuously across the face.
Where is Miss Jan?? Why is she not here?
"MIN, RUN!"
*SLAP*
Min flinches but replies determined.
"No."
"Please.."
"I'm not leaving you." I can see the desperation in her eyes. She is angry.
"Min, don't be irrational"
*SLAP*
"Shut the hell up brat!"
Min doesn't flinch this time.
Her voice strikes the air in a way I have never heard before.
"STOP HURTING HIM, WHAT KIND OF FATHER ABUSES THEIR SON AND TREATS THEM LIKE A SLAVE??"
He drops me to the floor and advances towards Min, she stands tall. He comes closer and hits her so hard across the face she falls. She gets up right away though. Her face already starts to swell. My heart cracks.
I kick my father hard in his back, letting the anger hit all in one blow. He decides to grab me and go. Min yells and attacks my father's back and gives up realizing her small frame is no match. while he drags me away from her. Farther and farther. Her legs go slack and she sits on them. She looks worn out. I cry silently and call her name in an incoherent voice. She looks up one last time and wipes her tears harshly away and mouth's, 'We'll see each other again.'
Sighing in defeat, I turn my head away and let my father drag me away. I clutch the gift that Min gave me and hope to never let go.
Her solemn face imprinted in my mind. I wish I could've seen her smile.
