Guilty

After an hour full of weeping, soft sniffles escaped my mouth as I heard Hyunjin my older brother, enter my room. I can feel his presence near me even if I was hidden under my bed's soft covers, which are now damp by crying.

"Kiwi? I know you're in here," He teasingly patted my head which looked like a lump covered under the blankets. He was the only brother who calls me Kiwi.

"I heard everything that happened. Are you okay? I want to see you please" he pleaded

Does he think I'm okay after my stupid brother yelled out such hurtful words?

"Sure I'm okay" I reply sarcastically

He sighed and tugged on my blanket which revealed my tear-stained face.

**Hyunjin pov**

It was late at night and putting my game away, heading to sleep when I overhear Felix and Kiwi fighting again. I love calling her that. There was a time when she disliked Kiwis a lot and refused profusely when I gave her. When she finally ate it and from then, I call her Kiwi. And only I can call her that. No one else.

I was walking down the hallway from the stairs to drink some water as my throat was parched, but I encounter Felix painfully grasping Kiwi by the neck causing her to thrash and scream. My mouth was agape since I was in utter shock. I was going to push them apart but Chris ran so fast, colliding shoulders with me in the process, and pulled them apart from his stronghold.

I was still standing there, now guilty and Chris yelling at Felix until there was a strikingly sharp voice that ringed through my ears,

"YOU'RE A MISTAKE YOU KNOW! PISS OFF!" Felix screamed at her

Akaira's fragile body ran straight to her room and shut the door by a massive thud.

I wasn't parched anymore so I sadly trudged back to my room.

After an hour I couldn't stand this anymore and ran to her room slowly, not freighting her. When I entered inside, I see a lump covered inside the thick blankets. Soft sniffles escaped her mouth, making my heart ache. I pat her head teasingly and asked her to take her blanket off but she refused, of course.

After many pleadings, she revealed her tear-stained face and her blanket now damp, followed by her bloodshot pearls staring into my soul. I sighed with misery and wiped away the stay tears.

"I heard everything and I'm sorry, he can be a shithead sometimes" I spoke

"Why are you sorry? You don't need to be" she croaked full of sadness

"I know, but I feel... guilty" I replied

After some staring, she looked back up, on the verge of tears, and whispered,

"So am I a mistake?" tears dropped onto her cheeks but she wiped them quickly

"Of course not! Why would you be? God made you be with us and we all love you here from the start, and still will. Felix is just annoying and angry all the time, for no reason. Believe it or not, you're my favorite sibling out of the whole family" I admitted, attempting to make her smile.

It was getting very late now, I have to sleep. I stared into her red, tired eyes welled with tears, for the last time and planning to head back. As I was getting up from her bed, I was tugged and greeted with small, slender arms wrapped around my torso. I was still seated on the side of her bed, head laid on my chest. I was shocked but smiled at her actions and slithered one arm securely on her back and the other tangled in her hair. I swiftly comb her smooth locks, leaving a content smile on my face.

**Akaira pov**

He was so nice and tried to make me smile which he succeeded. I love indulging in Hyunjin-Chan's scent of his hoodie and embracing him made me kind of drowsy. His hoodie was feeling a little damp, with my tears, but I'm sure he didn't care. It was past midnight and I desperately need sleep. As his hands were tangled into my hair, I was already feeling droopy, combing it and I smiled feeling a sense of relaxation race through my head. I didn't realize anytime sooner, that my eyes fluttered and I drifted off to a content slumber in his arms, peacefully.

**Hyunjin pov**

I was finally relieved when I heard silence. She was finally asleep.

I felt my eyes flutter as well, so I quickly but carefully shift her to her bed and covered her with another blanket.

"You will always be Scar to me, Akaira."
