The strongest person I knew sat in front of me with a cut under her eye and a busted lip. Clothes torn and soaking wet from the heavy rain. She wouldn't make eye contact with me and kept her stoic mask on even in a situation like this.
The doctor examined her placing her arm in a sling and telling her to prepare for a cast.
"What happened?" I ask barely above a whisper when the doctor left. My voice was laced with serious concern and confusion.
"Nothing happened" she dismissed me quickly rolling her eyes.
Wall 5 starting to crumble.
"If it's nothing why did the cops call me and why are we now in the ER room?" She looked down at her lap examining her bloody hand.
Wall 4&5 destroyed 3 more layers to go.
"I told them not to call anyone that I was fine on my own" she tried to defend herself but I was as calm as a cucumber on the outside on the inside I wanted to yell at her.
"You have a broken arm, a broken rib, and need to get stitches which is why we are in the ER right now. What do you mean you were fine on your own!" She finally looked up as all 3 walls get bulldozed down and she starts to cry making my eyes soften at her face and my heart hurt.
"I was just walking and I heard a girl yell something about TXT. Usually I am more careful but I just... I just couldn't fight back today. There were too many at once and for one second I wondered..." I leaned forward and wiped the tears off her face. She had her hand covering her face as she cried harder.
"Hey hey it's okay! I am gonna press charges on all of them if I don't I know my company will. I just want to be let in. I know you have this stoic front but it's okay to not be okay. Especially with me. I love you for who you are and nothing will change that. It's okay to be vulnerable around me okay?" I kissed the top of her head and got up to sit next to her.
She rested her head on my shoulder as I watched her eye flutter from exhaustion.
"Soobin... I may not show it but... I really love you and I am happy you are my person!" I took her hand in mine and kissed the top of it.
"I am happy you are my person to but please attempt at being more open with me." She nodded and laid back on the bed.
