[Domestic Violence] "Please save me."

I feel so good today!

Because it's been a long time since my mom made me food!

My mom is such an angel! Today she sprinkled magic powder on my rice!

"thank you for this food!"

He said and put the spoon in his mouth.

I felt like there was a lot of rice, but I kept stuffing it into my mouth because I thought I would get in trouble if I left any.

Suddenly, I felt a stomachache, so I headed to the bathroom.

Ugh-

Ugh... I didn't want to throw up, but I couldn't help it. But my stomach still hurt.

Ah... it was diarrhea. Why am I suddenly sick? Was it the magic powder my mom sprinkled on my rice earlier?

I grabbed the bathroom door handle and clutched my aching stomach as I tried to leave the bathroom.

Huh? Why isn't it opening?

"Mom! This door won't open!"

....

All I could hear was the quiet sound of the wind.

Clank-

Just then, I heard the front door open. Ah! It looks like Dad's here!

Clang-

As soon as my father came home, I heard the sound of a mirror breaking.

"Wow!"

A few seconds later, I heard my mother scream. It was so scary.

It was so cold in the bathroom that I had no choice but to curl up as close as possible.

It's already been two days since I've been in the bathroom. I'm so hungry. I'm cold.

Next to me, there's still vomit in the toilet. Why won't my toilet flush?

Actually, when I first went to kindergarten, I was really amazed to see the toilet water flushing.

Was it the water bill a few days ago? Mom and Dad were fighting over it... Could that have something to do with it?

I still can't get out of the bathroom. I'm hungry. It's so cold.

Ah... I want to go to kindergarten...

Even though the kids avoid kindergarten because it's dirty, I still want to go.

Home is good, but kindergarten is better...

"Kyaaak-"

My mother's screams were heard again today, as always. I had no choice but to curl up even more.

A few hours later, I heard nothing. I summoned my courage and called out to my mother.

"Mom! I'm here! Umm..."

At that moment, I was afraid my father would hear my voice. If he knew I was there, he wouldn't leave me alone...

Ding-

Then I heard the sound of a microwave turning on.

Ah! The food's ready now! Mom's calling me, right?

I'm finally getting out of here... I believed my mother would remember my existence.

Clank-

Finally, I heard the bathroom door open.

"dad?"

Dad was holding a bottle of alcohol in his hand.

"Who's your dad?! Is this real!"

"Oh my! Please...don't do this!"

I pleaded with my father, but he didn't even listen and just grabbed my head and threw me into the living room.

"Ah..."

"What are you talking about now?!"

I said nothing. I could only groan in pain. I felt wronged, but I was powerless and had no choice.

Clang-

My dad broke a bottle of liquor. Shards of glass flew at me.

"Ugh..."

My father, oblivious to my actions, continued hitting me with a broken bottle. It hurt so much. Red liquid flowed out of my stomach.

I was losing my mind. Blood was flowing from my mouth.

Mom...help me...just look at me...

I looked at my mother with a longing heart. And I waited. But she never looked back at me.

지민의 아빠

"This guy..."

지민의 아빠

"Someone like you should be with your mom..."

I can't even hear you anymore.

If God exists, I'd like to ask why he was born. I just wanted to live an ordinary life...

I felt no strength in my body. My eyes were slowly closing.

Mom... I actually know what you did to me... and what you talked about with Dad every day.

Thank you for everything. Even though I wasn't happy, I was glad I was able to live.

Can I now go to a peaceful place without any worries?
