Chapter 4 - Dedication (1)

I will do anything for you.

-----

I have nothing to do...

Life is lately so boring.

People are boring.

There's no one interesting.

Except...that person.

Chun.

A girl younger than me, 609chun.

She often writes about how much she hates to be seen as an object to people, how much she hates her school life.

I wish I could do anything to help her.

If only I get to know who she is.

It's not impossible to find out...

I'll do anything it takes to be with her.

----

9:26 AM

Saturday...a rest from being social, free to rest.

It's pretty boring, yeah, but atleast I don't have to listen to any nonsense.

Maybe I should see if there's anything 'trendy', having friends means I have to know the popular things they talk about.

I don't want to have a bad reputation or be an outcast.

Scrolling... scrolling... scrolling...

Its boring to fit in.

Ah, whatever~

As I was about to get off social media, I saw an interesting post.

"I wish my classmates suffered like me.

I hope they die. "

Huh.

Going through that account, I see similar posts.

This person...609chun...

Interesting.

They don't seem boring, often writing about their pain, looks like they even have family problems.

Going even lower, I saw a photo.

They have cuts in their neck, self inflicted and fresh.

Long hair...messy...

Looking through all the photos they posted, I immediately noticed that it was a girl, younger than me.

She seems to suffer a lot, especially from getting bullied.

Wishing upon her own death and the ones that hurt her.

It's.... amusing.

As the days go by, I seem to be obsessed with her.

She even lives in the same city I live in.

Close.

Ah, what if I meet her one day?

I want to protect her.

But if I meet her and tell her that I want to protect her and be there for her forever, she will think that I'm a creep.

I don't want her to think badly of me.

I want her to love me.

To me, she is special.

Ah, right, I have to study, I need to have perfect grades, what if my parents see me slacking? They would probably start arguing again, but he is the one that always starts.

Life would be easier without him if I'm being honest, all he does is just make problems after another, sometimes I see my mother with bruises and I know that he was the one that inflicted them.

Another case of domestic violence... huh.

It isn't just my mother, but also me and my sister.

He went too far one day and my sister ended up in the hospital, of course, he got away by lying. Stupid... they always think that men are always right, overlooking the obvious bruises from being hit.

Because of that, my sister never came back home, she left to go live with her friend.

My sister was always distant, well, all she used to do was study and study, non-stop.

She would never pay attention to me.

It's not important to me anymore, atleast there isn't much arguments at home now since she left.

Ah whatever... the past is the past.

I should just get back to studying instead of thinking about it.

...Chun.

Hmmngh...so loud...

What time is it...

It's... 1:43 PM... I slept like.. 3 hours.

"Well, it's YOUR fault, nothing you do satisfies me, unlike her."

"What are you even saying!? So, just because of that, you go ahead and have an affair with another woman??? We have a family, how can you even do that?!"

"Pfft, so what? Women were made to satisfy men, what do you expect? You think I care about this stupid family bullshit? You, your daughters, each one of yall are USELESS, I'M the one that is working hard to pay, meanwhile you don't even satisfy me or anything. I come to this house and theres no lunch served, absolutely NOTHING."

Oh.

Affair?

...

He is just joking right???

He didn't do such thing.

Right???

"So just because of THAT you decided to have an AFFAIR with your co-worker?! I can't believe you..."

Ah.

He did.

Making my way closer to the living room, I see that my father is about to hit my mother.

"Father. Don't you have to go buy materials?" I said with a smile.

"Atleast she is useful, unlike you." He says to my mother, whispering.

Asshole.

He makes his way to the front door, not even looking back.

"Mother, I have to go see a friend so we can study, I'll be back soon."

"Be careful, love you." She says in a painful expression.

Troublesome...so annoying.

Making my way to the stairs, I luckily caught up with my father.

Good thing that we live in a tall building.

Slowly creeping up to him, I give him a harsh push, making him fall down.

"Oh my! Father, are you alright?!"

Unresponsive.

"Father!!!" I scream as loudly as I can, hoping that someone gets here.

"Huh? Hey! What happened are you alright?" Said a stranger, worried.

"I.. I was making my way down to go see my friends...and I....saw my father on the..floor...he is not responding..." As I say this, I force myself to tremble, to look worried, pitiful and troubled.

"It's alright darling, everything is going to be alright." As soon as they say this, the hurry someone up to call for an ambulance.

Pfft.

Ahhh.

It's so easy to fool people.

Hm... It seems like he is bleeding a lot.

Amazing.

"Father...no..." I say as I cry, voice shaking.

It's easy to fake emotions.
