Gulf's P.O.V:

I heard three different voices coming from aunt Fern's bedroom so I opened the door.

And immediately cursed my luck.

"What happened to your face?" My aunt asked.

I ignored her and glared at the two other people in the room.

Then I decided that it would be better to let them talk so I turned to leave.

"Nong Gulf...You don't have to leave...I will leave now" The father said grabbing my hand.

"Good" I said.

"NONG GULF" Aunt Fern yelled angrily.

"Please calm down and listen to us ok?" The mother said crying.

I looked at aunt Fern who smiled at me encouragingly so I sighed and nodded.

"Alright let's get this over with" I said.

The mother wiped away her tears and nodded and my father sat on a chair and my mother grabbed another chair and sat beside him.

Aunt Fern took my hand led me to the bed to sit down and sat beside me.

"Why?" I snapped.

"I'm sorry Nong Gulf...I...I was wrong...I was so angry that I couldn't protect my son..." He said.

"Your son?...YOUR SON?...WHAT DOES THAT MAKE ME THEN?...What you're saying doesn't make sense" I said.

"Please Nong Gulf...I'm sorry" He said.

"For three years...FOR THREE GOD DAMN YEARS...You insulted me...Hurt me and beat me...You even said that you hated me...Forbade me from talking to you or mother or Ai Type...Created problems for me and made my life a living hell...You even told me that I should have never been born...I tried everything...I tried everything to change your mind...But you didn't accept...You don't want me anymore...So now I don't want you back" I said.

"I'm sorry son I was wrong...I know it will take you a long time to forgive me but I hope you can" He said.

"What do you want from me now?...You said you no longer wish to see me...You said that what happened to Ai Type was my fault and you punished me for it even if it wasn't actually my fault...So leave...I don't want to see you or her" I said.

The mother stood up and walked to me then hugged me and started crying.

"We are sorry...I'm sorry...We should have never done that to you..." She said.

I sighed and pushed her away from me.

"Do you know what it felt like?" I asked.

He grabbed my hand and started crying.

"It hurt...It hurt so much" I said crying.

My mother hugged me again.

"We are so sorry my dear boy" She said.

The father also joined the hug.

"I'm sorry son" He said still crying.

We stayed silent for a few minutes.

"I forgive you...I mean...I have to right?" I asked.

"Yes you do...Your parents love you wether you like it or not...They care about you much more than you think" Aunt Fern said smiling and putting her hand on my shoulder.

I smiled and shook my head.

"When did my little sister get so wise?" My father asked laughing.

"Since you started acting like a freak who cast away one of his children?" She asked smiling.

"I promise if you give us another chance we will make it up to you...I love you...We both really love you...We're your parents" My mother said.

"I'm sorry for everything...I'm sorry for causing you such pain...I'm sorry for hurting you...I should have never done that...I'm really sorry" My father said.

I sighed and nodded then stood in front of him.

"Do you understand it wasn't my fault?" I asked.

"Yes" He said.

"Do you regret it?" I asked again.

He nodded.

"I'm really sorry" He said taking my hand in his.

I sighed and nodded.

"I know that you were angry because of what happened to Ai Type that day...I know that you regret what you did to me...I forgive you" I said sitting down beside him.

He smiled and nodded then hugged me.

"And it's also because I missed you and mum so much" I said hugging him back.

I missed them so much.

I missed that hug so much.

So I started crying just like that day I did when I left for Germany with aunt Fern.

That day when I was just fourteen and my father said that he didn't want me to come back again.

And then I realized that I was still nothing more than that child who was desperate for his parents to come back for him.

No matter how much I tried to convince myself that I was no longer that helpless child.

After a few minutes I finally calmed down and looked up at my father smiling and wiping away my tears.

"You two are really stubborn and stupid do you know that?" My aunt said smiling and shaking her head.

"Yes...I guess we are" My father said smiling.

"Good" Aunt Fern said.

"So now do you want to tell us what happened to your face?" My mother asked.

"I'll punish you severely if you get into trouble" My father said.

"We just got back together as a family and you already want to punish me for getting into a fight?...You're still a stubborn old geezer" I said laughing and shaking my head.

"Are you trying to test my patience boy?" He asked cracking his fingers.

I stuck out my tongue at him then the four of us started laughing.

"Well if you want to know so much...I planned to get beaten up" I said.

"WHAT?" My aunt asked.

"Well...I wanted to be seen getting beat up by someone...So my plan could work better" I said.

"And who is that person who beat you up?" My father asked.

"Lhong...The one who destroyed Ai Type...And the one I wanted to put the show for is his older sister P'Sanran" I said.

"You seem to be so sure that your plan will work" My mother said.

"It will...I'll do whatever it takes to destroy him just like he destroyed my brother...He can't escape" I said.

"Be careful ok?" Aunt Fern said concern evident in her voice.

"Don't worry...I know exactly what I'm doing" I said.

"She meant don't do something you'd regret later" My mother said taking my hand in hers.

I sighed and my mind went back to the day I saw my brother screaming and shivering in fear as soon as he saw that bastard.

And I was instantly filled with deep rage and hatred.

I will never regret it.

"Don't worry...I won't...This time I'll avenge my brother...No matter what" I said.

My parents sighed and nodded.

(Meanwhile at the shared house)

Tharn's P.O.V:

Ai Type was trying to stand up on his own.

"Do you need help?" I asked genuinely concerned.

He smiled and shook his head.

"I do this alone" He said smiling.

"Alright" I said.

Then I went to stand in the corner of the room.

After a few minutes he finally reached me without tripping or falling once.

I smiled and hugged him.

"You finally did it...I'm so proud of you" I said hugging him closer to me.

"Still...Bad talking" He said.

"Don't worry...We can definitely fix this...I know...I'll never leave you got that?" I asked.

"Thank you" He said hugging me back.

I helped him back to the bed and layed him down then covered him with the blanket.

I turned to leave but he grabbed my hand.

"Stay...Please" He said.

I nodded and walked back to the bed and layed down beside him.

He smiled and started tracing my face with his fingers.

Then he leaned closer to my face and kissed me.

He pulled away and smiled.

"I love you" He said.

"I love you too..." I said smiling back.

Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I hugged him closer to me and buried my face in his shoulder.

And eventually everything went black.
