"I- h-ho-how....w-where d-do I even s-start....I-" You said as you sobbed. Asahi patiently waits for you to answer. He has suspected this from a while now and said nothing. He feels guilty for that. He is willing to listen to you and whatever you need. As your eye flow in tears, his hand goes to your cheek, removing the tears that are falling. His touch was soft and gentle. You felt like starving for more. So before he could remove it, you hold onto his hand. This took Asahi by surprise. No one said a word. All you did was shake your head no. Asahi gets the message and doesn't remove his hand from your cheek. 

"T-take your time.....Take it all out." He said. He hated every bit of your sad face. He hates it when you are sad. And now, he hates it because he feels responsible. He invited you to the pool party, just to have fun with everyone, but you didn't seem to be having fun. He was unsatisfied by that fact. And he wants to make you feel better. 

Soon you calm yourself. You take deep breathes. The tears stopped, but you still didn't want Asahi to remove his hand from your cheek. You still wanted to feel his warmth. Asahi was able to read your eyes. He knew you were wanting for attention/affection. So he removes his hand, to which he notice you sadden. So he quickly puts his arms around you, closer to his chest. His chin was on top of your head. The touch and warmth you were looking was finally found. You felt comfort and wanted. 

"T-teddy....I'm sorry..I-...Im such a cry baby...." You managed to say. Asahi shakes his head no, in disagreement. 

"No no no. We all get down and feel vulnerable. It's part of life. And you don't have to apologize. It is best if you let it all out for once." Asahi says. "So please....tell me.....what is wrong..." 

You take a deep breathe. "When I was in college, I was never....welcomed. You could say it was for my appearance.....or the way I talk.....and my age. I was never welcomed. Everywhere I go, there would be people looking down at me. Especially since I am short compared to them....." You joked, trying to cheer up the atmosphere. But it was pointless. Your tune was not cooperating for that last part.

"I never made friends there. I spent two years in that college and not one person wanted to be my friend. I was alone, judged by every single on of them. Some would leave comments about me, I would over hear their conversations about me. I was young, I didn't know what to do. I felt hopeless. What's worse is that I never gained the confidence to tell my parents, the teachers, or someone. I left my trust on my brother." You sighed. Asahi hugged you tightly. His arm grabbed grip onto you. He didn't want to let you go. 

"and there was this one time.....Someone....uhm, n-no no, forget it..." You said. 

"Tell me. Please. I need to know." Asahi says in a serious tone. It was as if he was mad. It inda scared you. And you weren't going to lie to yourself, it sounded attractive. 

"J-just don't tell anyone. I-.......I was.....harrassed. F-for my appearance....someone...tried to....t-t-touch me....." At that point, you couldn't go on. You cried. You started to cry again. Remembering your experience in college was painful. It was if it happened yesterday. You hated every one bit of it. You sometimes wish you weren't smart, gifted, blessed to get a higher up. You wish you never accepted to enter college at an early age. You wished you never were here.

No...You are happy to be here. Right now, you finally have the chance to speak out. And you told someone you care about. Asahi. 

As you cried, Asahi leaned his head onto your shoulder. You could sense his breathing. It sounded like frustration. You were worried you might have done something. But knowing Asahi, he woudn't take out his anger to someone else. You calmed down your crying, leaving only small sniffs and sobs.
