Sunoo had been sitting on his bed, watching TV. But the man could tell that he wasn't really watching. He was waiting for something.

But what?

The man paced back and forth. It had been a long time since he had been to see Sunoo, and it was killing him. But he just couldn't get back and he knew that he'd be taken care of. He had everything he needed.

The man debated. He could feel inside that something was wrong. He felt it in Sunoo's expression. He saw on the monitors that Sunoo's breathing was fast and uneven, nervous. His heart rate was up from its normal resting pace

.

What is going on with him? the man thought. Why would he be so uneasy right now.

The man wasn't interested in debating himself anymore. Or being curious. He would just go right now and see Sunoo.

He put on the costume and began to unlock the door. As he opened the door, he saw Sunoo gasp, but as he closed the door behind him, something unexpected happened.

Sunoo ran up to the man and threw himself into his arms, knocking the wind out of the man and making it difficult for him to maintain his composure.

"What are you - "

"When you told me you were never coming back I was terrified and then you didn't. You really didn't come back and I thought...'what if I really DON'T ever see him again? What if he really never comes back?' It had been so long. Well, I really don't know how long but time feels really slow here..."

Sunoo was talking faster than he had ever heard anyone talk. Like he was trying to get everything out.

The man was caught off guard. And he was angry. This wasn't right. Why was Sunoo acting like he -

"...and it was so slow, and I thought 'if he never comes back then I can never tell him how much this meant to me.' I want to be home, I really do. But like I said before, I want to know you. It's clear I will never matter this much to anyone else. So... why can't we just try? But in a different way??"

The man's heartrate quickened, and it wasn't in a good way. Why was Sunoo saying this? Why was he acting like there had been some big change.

But he knew. He knew what Sunoo was doing. He knew why.

Without saying a word, the man turned around and walked out, slamming and locking the door behind him.

Sunoo stood...shocked.

"WAIT!!!! WHAT DID I DO?!?!?!" Sunoo called hysterically into the air, tears streaming down his face. "ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?? DON'T YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME?? CAN'T WE TRY IT IN A WAY OTHER THAN THIS???"

There was no answer.

"PLEASE?!?!" Sunoo yelled.

Sunoo fell to the floor, tired of keeping himself together. He wanted to get out. He wanted to go home. Sunoo cried and cried. All of the tears he had smiled through over the last...however many days...because he didn't know who was watching or when.

Now the person watching could only see Sunoo sitting on the floor against his bed. His sobs were so loud he was practically yelling, but he wasn't going to try to hold anything back. He had tried to be kind. He had tried to make this better. But he had been tricking himself.

It was never going to get better.

Sunoo cried and cried and cried. He yelled and cursed. He pleaded with the sky. He prayed.

The man just stood, looking at his monitors, staring angrily. And wondering how his plan had managed to take such an ugly turn.

I have to fix this, he thought, clenching his jaw as he stared down at the boy he loved so much.

I have to fix this NOW.

The man ripped off the costume and threw it on the ground, not bothering to put everything neatly back in its place the way he normally did.

Grabbing his things, he headed out the door, up the stairs, and onto the street. He noticed everyone looking at him and he realized how disheveled he must look. He stopped and looked in a store front window, straightening his hair and clothes.

Don't worry, Sunoo, I'll hurry back, he thought. I'll be there before anything else happens to you. I won't let ANYTHING happen to you.
