Someone Like You

Chapter Seven

Taehyung nodded and entered the cozy house. "Where should I put her?" He asked, unsure of what to do.

"Can you carry her upstairs?" She asked. "She's too heavy for me to carry." Her voice softened once she realized the words she used. "The room on the right." She added, relieved that she remembered right before he left.

"Thanks Yooyoung." Taehyung said and went upstairs with Ujin on his back.

The door to the room was open once he was upstairs. He sighed, relieved that he didn't have to do any more work.

The moment Taehyung stepped into the bedroom, the cold air hit him hard. He shivered a bit as he carefully lie her down on the bed, hoping she wouldn't wake up.

Ujin slightly moved, and brought her legs up to herself, wrapping her arms around both of them. He smiled and grabbed the blanket to hover over her shivering body.

He gingerly caressed her hair before leaving the room. But before he exited the door, he took a glance at the room and then at Ujin.

As soon as Taehyung arrived downstairs, he headed for the door but then, Yooyoung stopped him. "Do you want anything to eat before you go home?"

He shook his head, "I'll be fine." He gave her an assured smile. "Eunmi is waiting for me."

"Ah..." She said disappointedly. "She's in town." Once she organized her thoughts, she shrugged it off and smiled. "How is she?"

"She's doing fine," He simple said. He knew they were previous friends, so he didn't want any of them to feel bad if he continued. "I better get going."

"If you were wondering, Ujin has been doing okay." She said out of nowhere. "But you shouldn't have come back for her." She looked down, hoping he didn't get butt-hurt, "she wouldn't have wanted you to."

He slowly walked home, with the thought of Ujin on his mind again. He sighed, and looked up, knowing what Yooyoung said was true. She wouldn't even look at me one bit if she still had her memories. It was his fault that made her like this.

The strange car caught his attention as he came home. He had never owned the type of car that was by his house. As for Eunmi, she hasn't even got her driver license. He shrugged it off, "maybe it's just the neighbors."

He entered the house and the first thing he saw was Eunmi sleeping on the couch. He smiled as he came up to her. "You shouldn't have waited for me," he mumbled as he carried her off the couch.

"Sorry Taehyung." She said sleepily. He smiled at her nonsense. "You should've stayed away from here." At first, he didn't quite understand and looked at her, curious at what she was talking about.

"Stay away?" He asked. "Why would I leave my little sister?" He softly chuckled. "I could never leave you." Slowly, he lies her down on the bed, tucking her in.

"I know about Ujin," she said as her eyes gradually opens. He stopped what he was doing and glanced at her once more. "Dad knows too." Right then, she looked away, feeling ashamed. "I'm sorry."

He stood up from where he was at and slowly walked out the door. "I thought you were better than this," he said, feeling disappointed at his little sister.

"I was afraid." He heard her say. "I didn't want to watch you in pain." He stopped once more, and looked over at her. "You suffered because of her."

When her words left her mouth, looked away. "No, I suffered because of dad." His body was getting tensed, not knowing what he'll do next. "Do you know why mom left?!" He asked furiously. She didn't answer, and Taehyung scoffed. "He's a fucking psycho."

"Don't-" She said once she saw how angry Taehyung got. "Don't do anything you'll regret," she pleaded him, hoping her words could get to her. "Our family is already broken as it is, don't make things worse."

His tensed body relaxed and his eyes soften at the words she spoke. She indeed did grow maturely. "I won't," he said softly. "I won't do anything stupid so don't worry."

Once he left his sister's room, he looked back on his thoughts, and it lead him to the car. "He's been here the whole time," he scoffed, not believing how he would visit him when Ujin is involved but not when we have family events.

Taehyung stopped once he saw his father in the living room. He clutched his hands into a fist, and looked at him in the eyes. His dad smirked, "I see that you still care for your sister." He stood up and walked up to Taehyung causally. "But let's talk about Ujin, shall we?"

Taehyung stepper back slightly, not wanting to ever get close to his dad. "There's nothing to talk about," he said angrily. "I have nothing to say to you."
