Time (Sunki)

06

A week later, Monday to be exact...

They were walking through a street in the city totally unknown to the chestnut, the noise of the traffic and the agglomerated voices of the people around them... It was Monday night and everything seemed oversized: the cars, the lights, the amount of people going from one side to the other... The sun had gone down a long time ago, but the city seemed more awake than ever.

"Where are we going, Sunoo?" the brown-haired asked, but he didn't get an answer from the other.

A week had passed since their last meeting; however, they kept in touch through text messages and daily calls. Niki wasn't going to deny it, the calls and messages he had with the black-haired boy became his favorite moment of the day. He didn't have the pressure to pretend something that he wasn't when he was with Sunoo and that's why he believed that he was the only one who could understand him, listen to him and not judge his impulsive actions.

Sunoo managed to make him happy just by hearing his voice, he had become morphine for his soul.

Was he becoming emotionally dependent on the black-haired man?

He wasn't sure of the answer and it worried him. Because, although it pained him to admit it, he knew it wasn't right that his emotional stability depended on someone. In fact, he had been turning this issue over in his head for several days, he even thought of telling Jake and Jongseong, but he dismissed the idea just to not want to worry them. They seemed so happy about the improvement in his mood that he had, so he didn't want to disappoint them.

"It's here". It was the first sentence that left Sunoo's lips since they met in the park a few minutes ago.

He found himself looking at a small building on the other side of the street, Niki did not understand why Sunoo had made him go to such a common place.

"What is this place?" he asked a little angrily, he had something different in mind.

"Here... they can help you, Niki" he pronounced slowly, closing his eyes tightly as he didn't want to see the brunette's reaction "Asking for help is the first step to get over it"

"No" he answered hurt, with a cold tone of voice "You brought me here just to tell me I'm crazy, I thought... that I could trust you, I've been an idiot"

The chestnut turned around, with the intention of leaving that place as fast as he could.

"No, it's not like that" Sunoo defended with tears in his eyes, taking the tallest arm to stop him "I just want you to be happy, I want you..."

"THAT'S A LIE, YOU JUST WANT TO GET RID OF ME!" Niki yelled, drawing the attention of some passers-by.

Sunoo didn't expect such a reaction from Niki, he didn't imagine that it would hurt him so much to see him like this. But he couldn't help him alone, that was too idealistic. Niki needs help from a professional and Dr. Kim Seokjin was the best to deal with this type of case.

Sunoo knew that very well.

''They won't scold you or judge you, they will help you. Please believe me''

''They will see me as a nuisance, as a lost case, because that's who I am and that's how I resign myself to being seen by everyone''

"That's not true! I never saw you like that and they won't either!"

'''ENOUGH SUNOO!'' Niki yelled, forcing the black-haired man to let go abruptly. ''STOP RUINING MY LIFE AND JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME!''

Silence.
