The dim, suffocating air of the poor household hung heavy with the scent of stale alcohol and smoke. Inside, the tension was palpable as Jongin, drunk and enraged, loomed over you, his hand raised in fury after she accidentally spilled his precious liquor. Suddenly, a blur of motion—Taehyung, exhausted from work, threw himself between the father and his innocent, six-year-old sister. The slap landed sharply on Taehyung’s face, but he didn't flinch, only begging for forgiveness. Enraged by this protection, Jongin dragged Taehyung into the dark warehouse. The door slammed shut, leaving you alone in the hallway, trembling with fear and guilt, the sounds of whipping and pain echoing from within.
