If your looking for drugs you aren't going to find any - Mom doesn't keep her medicine in the house anymore."[/color][/b] A sleepy Tao walked down the stairs, running fingers through messy black hair as he watched his pathetic older brother frantically rummage through the kitchen drawers. The older male looked like he hadn't showered in a week; greasy hair, dirty clothes and needles marks all over his arm. [b][color=7ea7d8]"I just need some money. I know they gotta have some."[/color][/b] His voice was hoarse. Tao stood there just watching, leaning against a wall with his arms crossed over his chest. [b][color=fff79a]"You really think they keep anything in this house anymore? With how many times you and Yebin have raided it? Your more stupid than you look, Hyuk."[/color][/b] The genius grunted. His parents had stopped hoping that their two oldest would turn things around, that they would throw away the bad habits that got them into trouble. Both of them couldn't keep a job, one spent money like it was candy and the other did drugs every minute of every day. How neither of them had ended up in jail was a mystery to him. [b][color=7ea7d8]"You!"[/color][/b] The sudden and sharp cry of Hyuk caught Tao off guard, the larger and stronger boy strode up to him and roughly grabbed him by the collar. [b][color=7ea7d8]"Your so smart and perfect, the golden boy that everyone likes. Your probably think that your oh-so great, huh?"[/color][/b] He was on something, that much was obvious. The way he shook and sweat, the way his eyes dilated. Tao frowned as he grabbed his brother's wrist to try and get him to let go. [b][color=fff79a]"No, I'm just glad that I'm not as pathetic and sad as my dead beat druggie of a big brother."[/color][/b] Pain erupted across Tao's face as a fist connected with his cheek, the smaller boy falling to the ground. He was stunned for a moment before looking to the seething man standing above him with surprise. He'd never been hit before. It took him a moment to gather his wits, his eyes narrowing as he grabbed his cellphone, pressed 911 and hovered his finger over the call button. [b][color=fff79a]"Leave or I'm calling the cops. I won't tell mom and dad that you were here."[/color][/b] Hyuk seemed to contemplate his options before making one of the only smart decisions he'd ever made and bolted, grabbing whatever he'd brought and leaving the house. Tao got top his feet and placed a hand on his throbbing face, walking to to bathroom and looking at how it was red. [b][color=fff79a]"Dammit!"[/color][/b] He felt frustrated all of a sudden and felt the need to get some fresh air. Twenty minutes later Tao was exiting a cab at Light Lane, the sparkling lights passing by as he walked down the street. His face, once red now had a large bruise on it - he was royally pissed off about it. As he meandered down the street his stomach grumbled, Tao realized that he had slept all day and hadn't eaten anything. [/center]
