(this is the first time I post here so don't mind me if I mess something up💔)
“Su-Bong?.."
I asked quietly, walking to the living room. The sudden brightness of the ceiling light made me squint my eyes, not knowing what was waiting for me.
He came home from somewhere, high as a kite, trembling like he's made of jelly.
"Señorita!~”
He giggled like crazy.
"Wanna hear the new track I just made? It's about you.”
He stumbled towards me which made me immediately extended my arms towards him, stepping closer.
"Maybe later?... You know I don't like when you use drugs. I know it's hard, but please-”
“Fucking slut! Not even grateful that I made something for you? Huh? Is that what you are trying to say to me?!"
His eyes darted to my own ones. I suddenly didn't know what to say. I'm used to this, sure, but I just never know how to bite back enough to make him shut up.
“But baby-"
"Shut up, bitch!”
He kept cutting me off, not even caring about my opinion.
It's not that he actually doesn't care about my opinion. It's just that it hurts him that I'm right and he can't keep a single promise. He promised me to at least do it less.
He stumbled towards me until he was close enough he then pushed me against the wall. I don't know what he took but this is not the usual.
“You know it reminds me of my mother."
I quickly said, afraid of him. He never hit me but there's this scary part about him that always makes me flinch.
“And I'm not your fucking mother. Maybe you should be grateful and stop comparing me to your old hag, fix your goddamn issues first and then maybe you could start yapping."
This just made me nod. He let go and kept walking funny to the bedroom, just crashing on the bed.
I didn't want to sleep with him like this. This hurt more than usual and the fact that he took something else for sure made my stomach twist. I sat down on the edge of the couch, hugging my knees.
“Fucking idiot! Can't you just understand? You are not my daughter. I only gave life to you, but that doesn't mean that I'm your goddamn mother you stupid slut."
My mother screamed and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. The shirt I got from my grandma for my birthday. It got Twilight from my little pony on it.
“I'm…I'm sorry, mom. I-”
Slap.
"Are you even listening to me? Are you trying to make me even more mad at you? You made my life hell, and now you are trying to make it worse?”
She then tore my shirt apart. This made me let out a scream which I don't usually do because it results in getting beaten up.
“NO!!..I GOT THAT FROM GRANDMA!!"
I fell on my bed as my ruined shirt was now in her hands. It wasn't the best fabric so she could rip it easily. But that shirt used to make me so happy, so hopeful. I looked up to Twilight. I always loved her purple colour and how smart she was.
“You didn't deserve it, stupid cunt! If you don't stop crying right now, I will give you a fucking reason to cry for!”
That made me try my absolute hardest to stop crying but my sobbing wouldn't stop. I knew mom had taken something. She's always like this whenever she takes those stuff.
"Can't even listen to me now, huh?”
"You said I'm not your daughter-”
She suddenly let go of the other half of the shirt, twisted the other one and hit me as hard as she could. I screamed, cried, begged.
“I TAKE CARE OF YOU! I FUCKING FEED YOU!! THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?!"
Another hit.
Then another.
Another.
My vision went blurry.

"Why won't you come in?”
I jumped a little as if I was still living in that memory. Su-Bong's voice made me snap out of it.
“Sorry, I don't want to sleep with you tonight.”
"Fuck, (name). I'm sorry. Please forgive me…"
He dropped to his knees, hugging my ankles as he looked up to me.
"When are you going to stop?”
"I don't know, but I'm trying.”
Maybe the only thing making me stay in this relationship is the fact that at least he doesn't hit me.
He does drugs like my mom, but he's not that bad, right? He would never hit me.
That's definitely love.
"Okay…”
I just mumbled. He got up and put his shoes on like nothing happened.
He's doing it again. He's going to become the victim, leave for like an hour and then come back like nothing happened with my favorite sweets.
"Where are you going?”
He looked me in the eyes before starting his usual ‘this is your fault!’ childish roleplay.
“I'm going to fucking hang myself. I hope you are happy. Remember this face because this is the last time you will see me."
Then he walked out, slamming the door shut behind him.
He's always back. Always. For some reason, though, I'm always scared that he might do something stupid whenever he's on drugs. I always have to watch out for something. I can never be at ease.
I remember how we met. We met on December 24th. It was dark outside, around 9PM. I had no one to spend Christmas with, so I just went to the park where I could watch the beautiful lighting of the houses and stores.
Then he sat next to me.
"Yo, señorita! What is a pretty girl like you doing out here on this day?”
I turned my face towards him. Despite it being dark, I could see his features pretty well. I found him attractive. His dyed purple hair stood out to me the most. It made me smile.
“Señorita, hm? Well…I got no one to spend my Christmas with."
I simply said, not dragging it further. His playful bravado dropped almost immediately.
“Same."
He looked away, then continued.
"Can I get to know you?”
This made me nod immediately. I was pretty surprised, though. I guess we're both suffering together....
"Sure. Want to exchange numbers?”
He took his phone out of his pocket, switching it with mine.
While we were typing our numbers on the phones, he spoke up.
“I’m a rapper, you know? My stage name is Thanos. Oh, and I'm called Su-Bong, by the way.”
We gave each other our phones back.
"(Name). Also…Thanos? Like that marvel character?"
This made me laugh. Is this man serious?!
“Hell yeah, baby! You should definitely subscribe. I will make you VIP."
He winked shamelessly, leaning closer.
That night I ended up in his bed.
Talking about our problems made us so frustrated that we ended up making out. I didn't know why I trusted him so easily, but he trusted me too so it's okay, right? He didn't lie at least.
But then things got worse pretty quick.
I used to work as someone who cleaned cinemas.
He showed up every single day, so jealous of others looking at me that he ended up arguing with my coworkers which led me to get fired because even if he was banned from the cinema, he kept bringing his bodyguards just so he could get in forcefully because of his jealousy. My boss had to let go of me.
Back when we met he was already an addict but not as bad as now. I didn't have to worry about him coming home late. I didn't have to worry about him calling me names and not knowing what to say.
I didn't have to worry at all.
He provides for everything, but at the same time he made sure I can never leave. Not that I want to leave him…I love him too much. Even if he would shoot me, I would still love him.
I would rather be his victim than his opponent.
I didn’t notice I had drifted into my thoughts again until he was standing in front of me, holding a huge bag of my favorites.
He looks way better than he was an hour before. He's somewhat normal but it's clear shit’s still in his system.
“Señorita…I got these for you. Do you want to watch a movie? I can even massage your feet.”
I knew that tonight would end the same as always. It always does whenever he pulls this move.
It will never end.
It's a devilish circle.
