Yet somehow. No one else seemed to understand why he loved that place so much.
The child's shoulders slowly slumped.
His little hands tightened into fists.
His lower lip quivered.
"...You always say that. So what if it's dangerous?"
Neither man answered immediately.
Their silence hurt far more than being scolded.
A-Hua stomped his foot. It made a loud thump that echoed throughout the room. Only then did both men look up fully.
They saw a little boy standing there with tears already welling in his eyes.
His tiny fists trembled at his sides.
"A-Hua?" Concern immediately entered his elder brother's voice.
The young man quickly pushed back his chair and stood.
But before he could take another step, his younger brother turned and ran.
"A-Hua!"
He hurried after him.
"Wait!"
He managed to catch his young brother's wrist just before he reached the doorway.
"Let go!"
The little boy struggled with all his strength.
"Let go of me!"
