"What...what is she doing here?" Hyunjin asked, his voice cracking in between, a sign that he was closer to tears than he thought he was

He looked to his side, his eyes met with Ni-ki's. The male was not calm, nor was he terrified. He was confused

He ripped his gaze away from his younger brother as he felt the male's hand latch onto his, trying to calm his older brother

"She is family, is she not?" Mr Hwang answered the male's question, sending him another lifted eyebrow

Hyunjin felt his throat dry out as his gaze met the woman's stern one, sending shivers down his spine

His mind wandered to his childhood, the times he'd spent with the female but they weren't as pleasant as he had hoped they'd be

Hyunjin never had a troubling family. They always had little to no family drama, just a happy little family

That was until his aunt, Hwang Jihyun, waddled into their lives, leaving black ash on the flowers she had destroyed

His anxiousness soon retreated, being replaced with burning anger just by looking at the woman

"She is not family" He rasped, feeling heated tears well up in his eyes

"Oh but I am. I am your aunt. Do you not remember, my little Jin? Or have you forgotten me after you ran away"

"YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY I FUCKING RAN AWAY! AND DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN!"

Ni-ki watched, worry evident on his face as he saw tears stream down his older brother's face, causing tears to well up in his eyes aswell

"Hyunjin, you are not go speak to your aunt like that. She traveled a long way to come see you. The least you could do is sit and be quiet, like Riki" Mr Hwang spoke with a glare that terrified Hyunjin to no words

"Is this the little angel from Shibuya I've been hearing about?" Jihyun cooed, walking closer to the boys as she crouched down to Ni-ki's seated height

"It's nice meeting you. I'm your aunt, Hwang Jihyun" she introduced herself, reaching her hand out for a handshake when Hyunjin reached out and grabbed Ni-ki's wrist, forcing him to stand and pulled him behind him

"Don't you dare come anywhere near him" Hyunjin rasped once again, his gaze sharpening, causing the woman to step back with her hands in the air in defense

"I was just introducing myself. God, you are just like your other aunt, always wanting to be superman and save the day. It sickens me"

With every word she spoke, Hyunjin could feel his anger growing and he clutched harder onto the sleeve of Ni-ki's sweat

"You...you bitch—" the male was soon interrupted when a hand grabbed his shoulder roughly, causing him to let go of Ni-ki

"If you'll excuse us, Hyunjin and I need to have a little chat" Iseul spoke, slightly bowing his head as he dragged the boy out of the room and into the empty passage. The maids were on break outside

Mr Hwang slammed the door shut, letting out a heavy sigh as he turned his gaze back to his eldest son, the son who had disappointed him

"What is your problem?! Huh?!" The male fumed, landing a forceful slap on his face that turned out to be more of a push to the side

"Are you out of your mind?! Do you think it's okay to speak to an adult in anyway you want to, especially your aunt?!" He grunted, landing another push to the male's cheek
