Kill & Love
8: Really Heavy

In Luhan's arms Jessica's tears broke. The pain that Jessica had been in for a dozen years she had spilled on Luhan's shoulder, the pain and wounds of a tightly-kept past that Jessica never remembered reopened after her encounter with J.B.

11-year-old Jessica tries to save the pain, where she watches as her own father tortures her mother for a woman who is now her stepmother. And with her eyes on her head as well, Jessica saw how the woman took the life of her precious mother.

Little Jessica intended to report the vile thing to her father but the poor girl was threatened to be killed also if she dared to complain to the father.

There is no choice but to obey the will of Mother and her stepbrother because of the helplessness of Jessica considering at that time she was still 10 years old. Jessica clutched the clothes Luhan was wearing without caring if the cloth would be tangled because of his actions.

After feeling calm. Luhan let go of his embrace and looked at the girl before him who was just looking down

"You feel better?" Jessica lifted her face and nodded.

Luhan raised one of his hands, his index finger wiped the tears on the girl's face with their eyes locked together. 1 year they lived together under 1 same roof, the, this was the first time Luhan had treated Jessica gently despite being very stiff.

"It's late at night, we should go home now" said Luhan who was immediately nodding by Jessica, both of them left the park.

"Nunna??"

Dio immediately got up from his seat when he saw Jessica coming. He turned the girl's body to make sure what she was doing was okay and what Dio was doing made Jessica snort amusedly. Luhan went straight to his room on the second floor.

"Sica, are you okay?" ask L make sure. The western-faced young man had just finished cleaning his body.

"Aishhh...!!! Why are you overreacting. Take it easy, I can't kill myself for anything trivial." Jessica said as she stared at the two young men before her in turn.

"Basic of this girl. We act like this because we care about you Jessica Jung" L said as she clinched Jessica's dark brown head.

Jessica chuckles. His hand was busy rubbing his head that had just been snapped by L, but the rarity turned into a sob. The girl lowered her face, tears flowing down her face. His shoulders shook, L and Dio exchanged glances and both approached the girl.

"Nunna??"

"My body is all sticky. Yes, I went to the room first." said Jessica and passed by.

I stared at Jessica's back with a soft look. She knows that the girl is not okay, and she doesn't know what happened to Jessica's past and how dark the girl's life has been. L who did care for her, decided to catch up with Jessica and make sure the girl was okay.

"Sica," call L down.

Inevitably the girl raised her tear-filled face and it was L's sad face that was first caught by Hazel's eyes "Come here," I grabbed Jessica's shoulder and carried the girl into her arms.

Jessica is like a little sister to L, because she is an only child so she already considers the girl as her biological sister.

"Don't hesitate to share with me, your brother. Sica, you're not alone, there's still me, Dio and Luhan. We are your family, so never hesitate to share your grief with us. Is that as bad as your mother and stepbrother's treatment?" ask L.

I brushed Jessica's hair and lowered a bit of the clothes on her shoulder to look at the burn scar that had always been hidden nicely behind the clothes the girl was wearing, and that's the main reason why Jessica never wears open-sleeved clothes.

"Yes,"

"It must be very difficult to live the life you've been living? Especially with your circumstances that night when Luhan first found you lying on the side of the road with lash marks on your back and arms." he continued with a sad tone.

Jessica smiled bitterly. "Yes, almost every day they treat me badly. I have no power to resist their arbitrary attitude. They always threatened to kill papa too if I dared to fight, I had no choice but to resign and accept all their ill-treatment" Jessica explained.

L looked at the girl with his own eyes, he did not expect that Jessica would have such a heavy life.

Luhan who had just finished cleaning himself decided to go down and meet his two colleagues. Luhan wants to discuss their next mission. But his steps stopped as he crossed Jessica's room and saw the door open slightly. Luhan faintly heard the conversation of the two people in the room that quite caught his attention.

"Then how did your mother get killed? I mean, how do you know if your mother was killed by your stepmother.??"

"Because I saw it with my own eyes." Jessica said quickly, the girl looked up her face and looked at the ceiling of her room with a sad look.

"At that time I was 11, I saw the woman stab her mother and smash her head against the wall. They tortured him who was very ill at the time. I can only cry and scream without being able to do anything."

"My mother is tormented and destroyed before my eyes. They're threatening to kill me if I dare to complain about what they did to you, papa. I, truly feel useless as a child."

"And even when I grew up I still couldn't repay them, they paralyzed papa and always threatened to kill him if I dared to fight them. I'm confused, what should I do??" shrieked Jessica raucously, the girl was no longer able to stem her tears.
