he woke up with his head aching and again his heart feeling heavy, he thought he succeeded with his attempt but sadly he failed. he didn't wanna wake up and this is not what he planned for. so he thought of another plan that may succeed, he went to a subway and planned to jump off the train tracks to end it once again.

 he took a step forward towards the platform, little by little he became near the end of the platform hoping that the train catches him at the exact time he'll jump from the platform, he can hear some ringing coming from the tunnel a sign that a train is near approaching. he took a glance at the tunnel and saw the flashing headlights of the approaching train, he was near the end of the platform and it's just a matter of seconds before he can jump off the tracks. not until someone grabbed him by the waist and pulled him back, they both laid flat on the ground hearing the noise coming from the train that had just arrived in front of them. he knew someone saved him from falling off the tracks. 

...but why?! no one even saved him even before so why now?! why now when everything is falling apart and he's hopeless, why just about now that he's on the verge of letting himself go...


"what the fu--- get off of me what are you doing?!"


"are you crazy?! why would you jump off the tracks?"


"ok look mister it's none of your business and why do you even care it's not like it's your own life i'm taking"


"ok not to intervene with your own personal life but just think about it, jumping off that track would not only cause inconvenience for the passengers but also for the people around here and if i let you off people would think i didn't do anything to stop you and it'll forever eat me with guilt because i'm the only one who saw you and plus it's not worthy to die here alone"


"what do you even know about death, are you some kind of a preacher?! 


"no but i am someone who really values life and its meaning"


slowly, jaehyun became calm and sat down on a bench he brushed his hair and began to re-think his decisions in life. his tears began to fall but he tried not to make a sound, jungwoo sat beside him and comforted him, he even patted his back.  


"i've always loved the idea of death even before, i was labeled as a very pessimistic person and that didn't change the only thing that changed i think was how i view life, very miserable, gloomy, hopeless, and cruel"


"loved the idea of death huh?! you know not all the time death is the answer"


"yeah but what if it's the answer to mine?"


"i don't think so" 


"it looks like you personally know yet we just met here at the subway with you stopping me from committing suicide"


"i don't, now why don't you just tell me about it? so that i can know"


"me?! opening up to a stranger whom i barely even know, no way!"


"they say that it's much better to open up to strangers because they barely know you, no judgments from them just there to listen and give advice"


jaehyun raised his head to take a glance at jungwoo who's been staring at him for a while now, he went closer to jungwoo to fully scan his face. this is how jaehyun would know if he can trust the person he will open up to, jungwoo was taken aback by what jaehyun was doing so he moved back from him. 


"oh come on! you can trust me i will not anything harmful to you plus i even saved you"


"ok fine"


jungwoo grabbed jaehyun's hands and dragged him out of the subway station and went near a cafe, there he confronted jaehyun.
