cw // mention of death

I didn't care that we were in public and people started staring.

I knew that right now he needed a friend and I would be there for him. Minho had always been one to suck up his feelings so that he wouldn't let anyone know when he's hurting. He never liked being the center of attention when the attention was negative which is why I dragged him up to his feet and went to a quieter corner. 

There I pulled him into a hug. I hoped that me being taller made him feel safe for once.

"Chunghee is going to grow up without a mother and I can't even be a good father for him. I am only Lee Minho, I just turned 17. He's all I have left, my family kicked me out once they found out. I couldn't stop crying on his first birthday because I was always reminded of how it was the day of her death too. God, I am pathetic."

His sobs got louder. Maybe he needed this. No, he definitely needed this. Just someone who would listen. Someone who could make him feel like he wasn't alone in this big, big world.

"I will be there for you, Minho. Please let me help."

I felt his grip on my shirt tighten.
