Life, in general, isn't a bed of roses for everyone, regardless of their wealth. Not everyone fully enjoys their existence. There's often something that troubles them, leading to excessive overthinking and self-doubt. While this is a common human tendency, it's important to acknowledge that it's a part of our nature. However, at the same time, learning to manage these thoughts or redirecting one's focus to something positive can significantly practically impact one's life.

Similarly, Bright having disturbing dreams about someone he loves is not within his control, and there is no apparent reason for their occurrence. Even if there were a reason, it's mostly happening to test one's ability to cope and endure.

_____________________________

Win, who is in shambles, has no words or thoughts running through his mind, leaving him standing in shock and disbelief. All he does is simply stand
in front of Bright without uttering a single word.

As silence envelopes the room, Bright takes the initiative to explain himself.

'Win, it was never my intention to hide any of this from you. I'm sorry about this entire mess, which I'm solely responsible for. Please don't blame yourself. It's my fault for not expressing my feelings to you. I'm not sure what's happening to me. As the days pass, I can see myself deteriorating in many aspects, being mentally absent, haunted by disturbing visions leading me down a dark path, and distancing myself from everyone while pretending to be okay. It's incredibly difficult for me, and I have no clue why all of this is taking control of me.'

Still not being able to say anything, Win stands there without saying anything.

Bright continues,

"I understand it might seem unfair of me, but I didn't want to burden anyone. I hoped to resolve this on my own, but it's taking longer than I expected. I wanted everything to be over swiftly so that no one else would be hurt, but I've failed miserably by making you feel responsible for what I'm experiencing."

It seems like a moment of relief for Win as he starts sharing his thoughts.

"Bright, please don't apologize; it's not your fault. As your friend, I should have noticed everything, but I failed. You shouldn't be the one apologizing. You are my best friend, and even though you don't want to include me in your troubles, I wouldn't mind helping you with everything. I'm very sorry for not being able to see everything you've been going through and for the days I've been entirely self-absorbed without understanding the whole situation, acting like the MVP every time, and getting upset with you for no reason."

"But I have still disappointed you and made you feel terrible, which is not okay, Win"

"It's all good, I believe" Win with a soft smile

They both share a heart-wrenching gaze while facing each other, with a sense of sorrow evident in their eyes. One person is hurt, while the other appears dejected.

Bright still has a lot to say, but he finds himself once again overwhelmed by his emotions, preventing him from fully expressing his true feelings. He feels a profound sense of guilt and regret, as he genuinely cares for Win and hates to see him upset because of his problems.

Despite the teardrops obscuring his vision, Win could still see everything, albeit a gloomy filter of emotions. He could perceive Bright's inner turmoil, a struggle to express something profound that weighed heavily on him.

He gently moved closer and enveloped Bright in his arms, resting his head on Bright's shoulder. Win began to rub Bright's back, a soothing gesture meant to console him and convey the message that he didn't need to bear his burdens alone. Win wanted Bright to understand that he was there for him, always.

Bright was engulfed by a wave of shock that coursed through his entire body. It had been a while since Win had hugged him like this, and the embrace felt like a refuge from the harshness of reality. In that moment, Bright melted into the hug, reciprocating with a passionate embrace of his own. No words were necessary; the warm hug was all they needed to communicate their unwavering support for each other.

After they separated from a brief, yet emotionally profound hug, Bright gently wiped away Win's tears and tenderly caressed the back of his head. He whispered reassuringly, "It's alright now." When he gazed into Win's eyes, it was evident that love and affection were the only emotions that filled his heart. He knew that he had someone who cared deeply for him, someone who was willing to go to any length to support him.

They both took a quick shower before heading to bed, wanting to wash away the worries of the day and get a fresh start for the night. Despite the lingering thoughts they had for each other, they decided it was best to get some rest. Both of them were exhausted after a long and emotionally draining day. Bright felt an overwhelming sense of happiness knowing Win was by his side, and he cherished the moments when he could watch Win's peaceful face as he drifted off to sleep.

As they reclined on Bright's bed, gazing upwards at the ceiling, a serene silence enveloped the room.

"Win," Bright's voice carried a tender, soothing tone.

"Hmm?" Win responded, his attention shifting to Bright.

"Thank you," Bright's eyes welled up with tears as he expressed his deep gratitude.

Win turned to meet Bright's gaze and, with a gentle touch, wiped away his tears.

Bright continued, "We've just taken a shower, and we promised no more tears, right? So, let's get back to sleep. I'll help pat your back. Come closer."

The night was still young, with both of them cradled in each other's arms, feeling an overwhelming sense of security and tranquility. One of them had drifted into slumber, while the other remained awake, captivated by the exquisite features of their companion. Every detail of Win's face appeared perfect, a mesmerizing sight.

A profound sense of safety enveloped Bright as he ran his fingers over Win's skin, the gentle contact soothing his restless soul. After a prolonged period of longing, Bright finally succumbed to a peaceful, restful sleep that had eluded him for far too long.
