25

I stare at Liu in shock, slowly bringing my hand to my cheek where he had slapped me.

"You're not to do any such thing to our brother. You hear?"

I nod weakly but rapidly, tears forming for about the hundredth time. My brother stopped and stared for a moment before looking at his hand and then at where my hand was on my face.

"(Y-Y/N)....I-I'm so sorry..." he stuttered, pulling me close to him, "I don't know why-I didn't mean-I'm so so sorry..."

I sniffled and he removed my hands from my face, placing his hands on my cheeks and wiping away my tears. "I had no right to hit you...I'm sorry."

"I-It's okay Liu..."

"No, it's not okay. You're not the one that deserves to be hurt like that..."

"Maybe I am..."

"No you're not! You never did anything wrong, and nothing that happened to you in the past hours should've happened to you..."

I begin sniffling again and Liu pulls me into his arms in a hug. I hug him tightly and place my head on his shoulder as he gently caresses my hair.

"Don't cry (Y/N). I'll never let it happen again, I promise. I promise I'll never make you cry again. I'm going to be the brother that cares about you and protects you with my very life."

"Th-Thank you Liu..."

I smile faintly as I lean more and more into my brothers embrace, taking in his warmth and feeling so glad and lucky that I had him there with me. I don't know what I would've done without him.
