"I knew you were hurting. I knew that you were struggling. And the whole situation at school probably made it even worse. I shouldn't have waited for you to come out on your own. You're not alone Jia. I'm here for you"
He's still not letting go of my wrists. He wasn't hurting me or anything. He held them so soft yet tight. As if I'd break into tiny pieces at any touch.
"Don't blame yourself Dongmin please. I'd feel even worse if you do" I plead.

My brain is foggy. I can't comprehend that someone cares enough about me to feel hurt when I'm hurting. This is new. No ones ever been this close to me. Dongmin is the first. He's the only.

"Whatever it is. Don't suffer in silence. Talk to me. If you keep everything to yourself you'll eventually can't handle it anymore and explode." Dongmin says as he pats my back.

"I know you did what you did was for a reason. But hurting yourself won't solve your problems. I'd rather have you hurt me than yourself" I look at him confused
"How could I ever hurt you" I'd rather kill myself than hurt him in any way.
"Just please stay alive. I don't know what I'm gonna do without you here. Everyone sucks. You're the only person I can be myself with.
You mean so much to me"
How could I ever leave him behind?

I think without Dongmin here, I would've already been dead.
