The butler ran to him with the two guards and held him before he hurt himself more, but they failed to protect him because of Aera's stubbornness he ended up stabbing himself in his stomach, the butler took the knife and threw it away from his reach while the two guards held his two arms, walking him outside the house "let me go! Let me show them how it has always been for me!! This is nothing compared to what the two of you did to me, so you're not allowed to look at me like this!! See?! This is why I took your family's name away from mine! You disgusting and horrible walking beasts!!"
Everyone in the room separated to few groups, some cried after hearing this short story of his long history, another one couldn't bear looking so they turned their heads, others fainted at the sight of the blood coming from Aera, and others couldn't bear watching and wanted to act but the last group didn't allow those people to get in the middle of them, telling them it's a family matter and needs to be discussed between them even if it gets this bloody.
"Augh, my family!!" Aera screamed.
"My family's dead!!" Beom cried outside their room, Min-Ji didn't allow him to enter but let him see them from the glass window which was enough to show Beom what he wasn't supposed to see, he then ordered the guards to hold him still because of fear he might hurt himself.
"I wanna go home!!" Aera cried first.
"With them!!" Beom ended, his cries making the nurses walk away to cry in silence.
They both walked out the buildings they were in, Min-Ji Man wanted to drive Han Beom home but Beom declined his offer kindly and asked him to take care of their bodies until tomorrow. For Aera, the butler asked him to at least drive him to the hospital to get a treatment but Aera's face was lifeless enough to not know the state he's in so he took him to the hospital with the same two guards.
After half an hour, the butler entered with clothes for Aera to change into instead of the bloody one but he wasn't in there anymore, "shit" he mumbled after reading the short letter Aera left for him,
'Don't follow me or your heads will be rolling under my feet'
"I heard they didn't survive" one of the guards reported, the butler nodded, "no wonder, then we'll go and check on him tomorrow noon" the butler commanded and took his leave with the two guards.
Aera walked down the snowy streets, it has been snowing for few minutes now and that made his vision harder. He had heard the nurses talk about a friend of Dr. Min-Ji, who's a close friend of his, had died and his wife followed him even though she was fine but because of the shock she didn't make it and got a heart attack and died after her husband in few minutes.
After hearing this story he rushed to his new house but no one was there, Beom wasn't there and that means he knew too, so he decided to run to the park but he wasn't there too. After debating for few minutes under the snow, he decided to go to his apartment, hopeful Beom would be there.
Luckily, he was there, he was bending down and holding his knees and sobbing, "Beom?" He called breathlessly. Beom jolted and looked up at Aera who was still wearing his bloody suit with bandages on his head and stomach. Instead of feeling relief, he found himself in another wave of fear, "hyung!!" he cried and ran to his hyung and held him and started crying, "blood. Bloo- You! Are you ok? Did they hurt you?!" Beom screamed and cried while checking his hyung's condition, his body was trembling and his eyes were shaking, he wasn't in a good state and Aera wanted him to wake up from this emotion wave, "hic- don't leave me" he mumbled "don't leave me like, l- like hic- mother, hic- fa- father! Hic- sniff augh"
"I know Beom, I know... Let's go inside, shall we?" Aera tried to comfort him while going inside all the way to his bed, Han Beom didn't want to sleep alone in his bed neither Aera did so they went to Aera's and threw their heavy bodies there.
Han Beom spent his time talking about his parents and the good memories he had had with them while Aera played with his hair until they two fell asleep with one thing in their minds, "it's ridicules how fast we're separated. It's funny how life do things in those unexpected ways"
Next day, the snow was pilled up warning for a long winter this year sending every face into the road of happiness and excitement to enjoy the snow before the sun show up and take it away from their hands. Screams filled the streets with kids and teenagers playing and throwing snowballs at each other with adults talking about what they had done the day before, it was a lively morning but for two...
Shirtless Aera watched the view from his balcony, he wasn't wearing a thing because Beom had treated his injuries and bandaged them, his eyes were indicating how exhausted he was with smoke puffed out of his chapped lips. A strong smell attacked his sleepy senses and awoken them calling him to open his eyes wider and welcome it, "I think I did well in making you one" Beom came from inside also shirtless in his hands two cups of warm coffee, "yes you did~ sigh, I was about to fall asleep again"
Beom listened to his hoarse voice and hoped the warm coffee will help their throats and get rid of that, Aera took the first sip and hummed in satisfaction, he turned to look at Beom to thank him but the boy in front of him made him speechless, his hair was falling on his eyes like a predator watching its prey, and his muscles looking better than they were yesterday but his soft smile made him a bit shy, "stop looking at me like this or I might get the wrong idea~"
"Haha, I thought you're not into those stuff~"
"I'm not!" Aera yelled with his face turning red from embarrassment.
It was a cold day indeed but the warmth from the cups they're holding with the light blanket around them nothing felt so.
