"So... Um. You know the rumors you used to have that you were a murderer ever since one of the staff members died, and you were the last person they saw..." He scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah, I hated those..." You sweated. "My mom used to believe in all of that, and she told me to break up with you. I didn't listen. It was only natural. Those were just rumors created by people who didn't know the full story, or craved attention. To which that rumor was proven fake a few weeks later, I already broke up with you. I was devastated, why wouldn't I be? A staff member, who I don't know till this day, told me to break up with you. I didn't wanna hurt you, so I didn't say anythi- " 
"Yang. Jung. Fucking. Won. Why didn't you tell me all of this?!" I screamed louder than the thunder could roar. "Because! It... It was hard ok... trying to deal with elements, getting sexually harassed, poisoned, the different universes, covering up scenes and fuck that shit i did to sunoo..." He clamored. "W-what do you mean with all of that. Expound now, Jungwon." I looked at him with shock, stuck in a state of confusion.
"Shit. Run to my room. Lock the door, please." Jungwon looked down at his hands, why is it engorged with a weird liquid? "Wha-"
"Just leave right now." He hissed in pain. "You fucker, you're literally in pain. Are you stupid or some shit?" I hugged Jungwon tight. "Please, just leave." Tears ran down his eyes. It broke my heart to see him like this. I could never accept seeing someone cry... ever. "I won't leave without you. Whatever is going on, I'll handle it with you, ok?" I held his hand as tight as I could to stop whatever this liquid is. My hands started to glow a pinkish color. I flinched from the sudden reaction within me. "I..." He breathed in and out quickly. Soon enough, the liquid stopped. "I... how'd you do that?" He looked at his hands, clean and soft. "Do what?" I stared at his iris-less eyes.., Hold on, where the fuck did his iris and pupils go. "Jungwon, your eyes-"
"How'd you stop me from... freaking out so easily." He looked at me with admiration, in a state of shock. His eyes slowly faded back to normal. "It's something called common sense. Show people that you care, and of course they'll feel better."
"Ok that makes sense, but... how'd you stop the acid?"
"Yeah, of course I'm so smart-- wait, what do you mean acid?!"
"Yeah um... Basically, elements exist. You're a big Genshin fan right?"
"Yep, so you're telling me... You're a vision-holder now-"
"Not exactly-- not to flex because it actually sucks, but I hold 2 elements. Lowkey wishing I didn't know how all of this works." Jungwon sighed. "Isn't it cool though?"
"I could kill a whole nation if my emotions go out of control."
"Excuse me?!" I scratched my head, getting more and more shocked the more Jungwon explained everything. "It's hard to explain when I don't know a lot either... I'll explain it another day, but thank you so much." Jungwon hugged me, little tears streaming down his pale face. "I don't know how I did it, but you're welcome." I blushed. "You don't need to know, it was a huge help, and maybe a discovery." He's still hugging me, he's like a little kid who got lost and found his mother. It's cute and sad at the same time. I just wanna do anything to make him feel safe. I don't know anything about what's happening inside of his head, but I can tell it's hard for him. "Jungwon, may I ask... What do you mean by all the problems you said earlier, The ones that made you riot." I finally broke up the hug, looking up into those crystal, dark brown eyes of his. "Um, I'm just not ready to do that yet." He looks away from me. "It's ok, I'm not forcing you if you don't want to."
He paused for a second, thinking hard as tears continued to flow down his face. "I just feel so guilty about many things. I probably sound mad to you. It's just so hard for me to open up. Why can't I just be vulnerable? I can't even handle myself. Why can't I just be better?" He dropped down on the floor, knees against his chest as he struggled to breathe. "Hey, everything will be alright soon. It may take a while, but I'll be here with you every step of the way. You can cry, but you look much better with a smile on your face." I sat down next to him on the floor. I carefully held his hand, kissing his knuckles gently.
