Haechan slowly entered their house and saw that his father was watching TV in the living room and his mother was busy cooking and he definitely was not involved in the meal. He slowly went up to his room and locked it, he knelt down and looked under his bed to see a small box where he kept the money he had saved.
He tried to get it and he did so he sat down and opened it to find it empty, Haechan’s world seemed to stop when he realized that the box was empty, all the money he had saved was gone. Tears began to well up in his eyes and he bit his lip before standing up to look for his money in the four corners of his room.
He looked in his drawer and where else he could hide the money but he couldn’t find anything so he sighed and sat down on the bed feeling weak.
He knew who took it but he was afraid to ask them, but nonetheless he left his room carrying the box and went downstairs to ask his parents. “Ma, kayo po ba ang kumuha ng pera ko?” It seems that his mother’s ears perked up at the accusation given by Haechan, “Hoy, huwag mong masisi-sisi ang nanay mo. Hindi namin kasalanan na burara kang tao.” Haechan heard his father say.
“Hindi namin alam ang mga paratang sinasabi mo,” His mother said coldly. “Ma naman! Alam n’yong ipon ko ‘yon bakit n’yo pinapakialaman?” Haechan’s voice almost cracked because of this, “Ipon ko ‘yon! Hindi inyo, ma, ibalik n’yo nalang sa’kin.”
Haechan’s mother turned to face him and slapped him so hard that Haechan was surprised, “Ayus ayusin mo ang pakikipag usap sa nanay mo.”
Haechan couldn’t help but glare at her, “Ipambibili n’yo lang naman ng droga iyong ipon ko!” Haechan knows that his parents are drug addicts. Besides his father’s constant drunkenness and his mother’s red eyes, he felt his father pull his hair so he screamed in pain. “Hindi ko nagugustuhan ang lumalabas sa bibig mo.”
Tears welled up in Haechan’s eyes again and he closed his eyes in pain. His father tightened his grip on his hair which made Haechan cry out in pain again.
“Gusto ko lang naman makuha yung p-pera ko,” Haechan cried and said with difficulty. “Mas importante pa ba ang paggagamitan mo ng pera kaysa sa mga gastusin sa bahay?!” His mother said angrily to him, “Wala kang kwenta!”
Haechan got another slap from his mother at the same time as his father pushed him down the stairs, which is why Haechan ended up crying. He did nothing but go up to his room and cry.
While on the other hand, Renjun looks at the field where he always sees Haechan passing by but he is not here or he has not seen Haechan. He saw Haechan’s friend, Jeno and Yangyang pass by with obvious worry on their faces, Renjun quickly got down and went to the two.
“Is everything fine?” The worry was obvious in Renjun’s voice, which is why the two looked at him.
“Sabi kasi ni Blaze susunod s’ya para maglunch kaso kanina pa tapos ang lunch break wala parin s’ya,” Yangyang worriedly said to him. “Ang rason n’ya sa’min ay uuwi s’ya ng bahay nila para kunin ang perang inipon n’ya para sa concert ng cup of joe.” Jeno added to what Yangyang said, Renjun frowned.
“Does he answer your messages or calls?” the two shook their heads at him.
“I’ll see what I can do,” Renjun smiled gently at them.
