Tae wanted to protect his hyung. He didn't like this game. It wasn't fair anyway! Jiho never made any sound! Sometimes Tae was loud, but never when Kangwoo was home either. Why did they get hurt? They were good boys. Hyung was the best boy. But if he came out now, Jiho would be exposed as a liar and that would make things worse, so all Tae could do was hug himself and hope for the best.

He wished very strongly, like they did in fairy tales. He wished that their appa would remember to love them.
