Sincerely, Yours [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 2

"I want to help you."

This sentence made Leeteuk look at the older and he didn't know what to say, he did need help but there was no way someone could help him, he was a minor and that means he had to live with his father till he becomes an adult.

That means one more year and he knew that sooner or later he is going to break. One year might seem a short time to some but he knew it was not. The beatings happened daily, so much that his whole body is covered in scars, and he was scared, that someday the scars won't heal anymore and he would die.

Seeing that Leeteuk was not responding, Heechul wanted to say something but was interrupted when Shindong, Eunhyuk, and Kyuhyun arrived. He could only sigh as he said, "Meet me after you are done hanging out with your friends."

Leeteuk could only nod, he did not want to speak, knowing full well that if he opens his mouth, only choked sounds would come.

Eunhyuk sat opposite Leeteuk and started talking about some dance moves, Shindong was eating and Kyuhyun was playing games, and Leeteuk would speak only a few words, he did not know what to say, everything felt like a blur.

The whole day went by and when he was done with all the lectures, he decided to go 'home', calling that place 'home' felt pretty weird since no one was there for him, and just as he walked out of the campus and started to walk, he felt a hand on his shoulder, making him flinch.

It was partially because he got hurt there yesterday and mostly because he was scared, seeing the frightened look on Leeteuk's face, Heechul held his hands up in the air in the position of surrender, "Hey sorry. It's me Heechul. I was waiting for you here to continue our talk from earlier."

Leeteuk looked up after hearing the familiar voice and indeed it was Heechul, who was standing in an awkward hands-up position.

"you know you don't have to help me" Leeteuk mumbled.

What he said was barely audible and it made Heechul lean in and ask, "What did you say?"Leeteuk and Heechuk barely had an inch between their faces, and it made the formal very uncomfortable so he backed away and say in a loud clear voice, "I said YOU DON'T HAVE TO HELP ME."

To which Heechul responded calmly, "I know."

And Leeteuk could only gape at him, speechless for a moment. And Heechul just waited for him to speak, giving him all the time to adjust.

Just as Leeteuk opened his mouth to speak, it started pouring down heavily, and then Heechul grabbed his hand and started to drag him into the cafe in front of the campus. And for once in his Leeteuk's entire life, he did not hate the skin contact.

Soon they were sitting on the corner seat in the cafe, there were potted plants on the window sill, and the whole cafe was painted beige color, dim lighting, and a pleasant coffee smell made everything thing warm and comfortable which made Leeteuk relax too.

He had only been here once with his friends and mostly skipped the other times because he couldn't afford the place. It was not that the place was pricey, he was just that poor.

He could use the money for one cup of coffee to buy food for the whole day. (His food consists of Canteen food from college as lunch and Triangle bibimbap from the convenience store for dinner)

Heechul ordered hot chocolate and pastries for them to eat. 

And when the waiter was gone, Heechul spoke up, "Look Leeteuk I know I am sticking my nose in your business but I can't just UNSEE what I saw yesterday. You looked like that yesterday and now having that look on your face states the obvious. Now before you say anything, just listen to what I have to say. I have this plan......."
