Liar

“We have to talk.”

“F*ck you.”

“What?”

“F*ck you.”

“Why are you saying that?”

“You do not come down and invade my space like that! That is not your space! You had no right—”

“What are you saying? I have every right, this is my house! What right do you have?”

“That is my space, MY space—!”

“No—“

“Isn’t that what I paid for? Isn’t that what I pay for—?!”

“No—!”

“You had no right!”

“YOU do not pay for anything! Your parents pay for you staying here. And no, that is not what they pay for-!”

“It’s still my money, it’s still for me, you had absolutely no right, NO right—“

“I live here, I’m a daughter in this household! What right do you have?! Who are you?!”

“…”

“Let’s go downstairs and talk.”

“No, let’s not go downstairs and talk.”

“Go downstairs and let’s talk.”

*Door shuts*

“No. Why do we need to go downstairs? Why don’t we just talk right here?”

“Because I don’t want to wake up my parents.”

“Why don’t we just talk calmly and rationally right here? Go ahead. Speak.”

“Open the door and let’s go downstairs.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to wake up my parents and have them join our little chat here! Do you not know what the situation is?! If they wake up and come down here it will be worse for you. Don’t you realize I can’t do anything if they wake up?!”

“…”

“Why did you lie to me?”

“Oh here we go.”

“Why did you lie to me?”

“It’s none of your f*cking business.”

“It is my business. I’m a daughter in this household, this is more my house than it will ever be yours, and this isn’t something I can hide from them, I have to tell my parents but I need the truth! This is the only way I can help! Don’t you understand?!”

“GO AHEAD! I KNEW you would judge her like that—”

“I’m not judging her—“

“I knew you would. Everything you say about accepting is shit—”

“Stop it—“

“I KNEW it—!”

“I’M NOT JUDGING HER I’M JUDGING YOU! I’ve sinned against YOU! If I’m wrong then just tell me! Tell me the truth!”

“…”

“Why did you have to lie about taking her home?”

“…”

“What happened downstairs?”

“It’s not your fuc-”

“It IS! It’s my business! Do you realize you will get kicked out if you don’t tell me the truth?! Don’t you know I don’t want that? I don’t want that! So just tell me the truth!”

“GO AHEAD! I’VE BEEN THROWN OUT BEFORE! GO AHEAD!”

“?!”

“My dad got fired from a job before, know why? BECAUSE HE-!”

“I didn’t ask about these things! Why are you saying this?!”

“Go ahead, f*ck you!”

“What happened downstairs?”

“I hate this f*cking place—”

“What happened downstairs?!”

“…”

“What happened downstairs? Just tell me!”

“F*ck this.”

“Stop, no! We- are- not- done—”

“Get the f*ck out of the way.”

“…”

“GET THE F*CK OUT OF MY WAY!”

Upstairs…

Jae-young: Are you okay? I heard everything.

Me: …

Jae-young: Brenda?

Me: He wasn’t always like this…

Jae-young: Ohh no, no, no of course. Don’t cry, it’ll be okay.

Me: I don’t understand.

Jae-young: It’s okay, don’t try to understand right now. You did the right thing. Don’t cry, it’ll be okay. You did the right thing.
