Life is still Going on | 𝒞𝐻𝐸𝒩𝒥𝐼

Ya, why is your spirit down these days?
Ya, straighten your shoulders, I'm by your side
Life doesn't go the way you want it,
Your heart doesn't go wherever you want it,

A seven years old Chenle have witnessed how often his parents fight.

His dad are planning to leave them, but his mom don't have a plan to stop him.

They are yelling and cursing with each other like it's the only way to ease their anger.

Chenle's heart was torn into pieces.

He love both of his parents but he's not sure if they did the same.

"You know what? If I didn't just got you pregnant I won't marry you. You're so stupid!"

His mom raised her hand and slap his dad.

"Jerk! I shouldn't have give you everything if you'll just treat me like this!"

She's crying.

As much as Chenle wants to run towards them and ask them to stop fighting, he can't.

He knows that he can't do anything to change their mind so he just run toward the door and went outside.

He runs until he run out of breath.

He pants and notice that he's on the park.

He sits on the swing and let go of the tears that he's been holding

What if his dad really leave them? What will happen to him and his mom? Should he just come with his dad? But he said he want to leave alone.

Tears continue to fall down from his eyes. Until a boy on his age offer him a handkerchief.

It's his best friend, Park Jisung.

"What are you doing here alone, Lele? You should be sleeping right now." he said.

"How about you? Why are you here? You should be sleeping too, right?" he asked.

"I just finished my swimming lesson and I happen to saw you running so I get worried and decided to talk to you. What happened? Did your parents fight again?" Jisung asked.

Chenle pouted and nod his head up and down.

"Yes. Dad also wants to leave us. I guess he didn't love us."

Jisung took a step closer and start to pat his head.

"Lele, even your dad will leave you, the sun will still shine, the rain will still fall, and the river will still flows. What I mean is, life will still continues. So don't worry too much. Even your dad will leave you, I will never leave your side." He said.

Chenle stares at him and smiled. He's so happy that he have a cool and a nice friend.

"Promise?" he asked after raising his pinky finger.

Jisung smiled.

"Promise."

Then he pulled Chenle into a warm hug.
