Soma was crying loudly in his sister's arms. Aimee tried to calm him down but the child's cries were only increasing by the minute.
"SHUT HIM UP!" Beomsoo bellowed from the other room. He lay on the couch, high on drugs while Aimee was left to deal with her brother.
"Stop crying!" she yelled at Soma with tears in her eyes. It had been hours since they escaped her parents' home. When they had planned the murder, they thought of the life they were going to have after gaining freedom. Beomsoo promised that they would run away to another city and get married. He also told her that his parents were going to support them until they became adults. Soma was going to have a good life too.
But it had been hours and Beomsoo was dead high.
"Beomsoo, when are we going to leave town?" she asked desperately. "The police might come looking for us!"
"Soon!" he mumbled. "But shut that kid up! I can't sleep!"
He turned the other way to sleep. Aimee shook him with one hand.
