Jihyo's POV

I walked down the streets of my town, wiring around corners I didn't need to turn. I dreaded returning home.

I didn't want to see my parents.

If they were even home.

Eventually, the sky darkened far enough to force me back to my home. So, I wound a few more corners before walking up my driveway.

"There you are, Jihyo."

I tensed as I turned the front door and was met with the face of my mother. She was drunk.

"Where have you been?" her speak slurred together.

"You're drunk," I snipped back.

"So what?" she asked, grabbing my wrist as I tried to walk to my room. "Where have you been?"

"Where have you been?" I asked, pulling my hand away. "You and dad up and left for a month!"

"Whatever!" she yelled, throwing her empty beer bottle at the wall. "We're fucking here now! Whatever!"

I ran to my room, locking the door behind me. Soft tears ran down my cheeks.

I pulled out my phone and texted Tzuyu.
