You were living in your brother's house with your boyfriend. Yes, your boyfriend couldn't provide housing, so you were staying with your brother under his supervision. And to be honest, you were glad that your brother was there for you. Because what happened today changed your life.

Your brother invited his friend Mark over, and they were playing video games in the living room. You asked if they wanted to eat, and now you're cooking for them. While you were cooking, your boyfriend came back from a walk, a little tipsy.

He chatted with Mark and your brother Henry and went to see you. By this time, you had already prepared some food. You took the food to the guys in the living room, while your boyfriend, Rick, was eating in the kitchen. When he tasted your food, he immediately started complaining about how under-salted it was. You gave him salt and pepper to do as he pleased.

You could see the anger building up inside him and it made you feel a little uneasy. When you started washing the dishes, he said that the potatoes were still raw and it seemed to be the last straw for his patience. He turned you around and slapped you hard across the face. You felt like you were about to pass out and tried to leave, but he gave you another slap.

You picked up a frying pan and hit him on the head, pushing him away in an attempt to distract him and escape. Due to his drunken state, he staggered and let go of you, and then you ran into the hall to Mark and Henry.

"Brother, brother, help me!!"

You cried out pleadingly and ran to them, hiding behind Henry's back. Mark frowned and looked towards the kitchen, seeing Rick come out, looking at you angrily. He mumbled something like 'Get out, I won't hurt anyone', 'I want to talk'.

Looking at you and seeing how small and defenseless you were in your brother's arms, Mark felt anger and another feeling. To protect. At any cost. So now you've heard Mark's punches as he hit Rick while he tried to fight back. You've never seen Mark this angry and aggressive. He's always been calm, but today things just didn't go as planned.
