the empty classroom felt suffocating as riwoo sank to the floor, his shoulders shaking with each sob that escaped him. the weight of his past pressed down on him, and the memories of his ex-boyfriend flooded back, wrapping around him like a suffocating fog. riwoo's tears fell freely, a torrent of pain and betrayal spilling over.
woonhak, standing a few steps away, felt his heart ache at the sight of riwoo in such distress. without a word, he moved closer and wrapped his arms around riwoo, pulling him into a comforting embrace. the warmth of woonhak's body against his was grounding, a reminder that he wasn't alone anymore.
"shh, i'm here now," woonhak whispered softly, his voice barely breaking the silence of the room. he didn't say anything else, knowing that words could feel inadequate at times like this. instead, he hugged riwoo tighter, as if trying to shield him from all the hurt he had endured.
through ragged breaths, riwoo began to open up, his voice muffled against woonhak's shoulder.
"he... he abused me, woonhak. he made me feel so small. like i was nothing." his words were laced with pain, and each confession was like a dagger piercing woonhak's heart.
"there were nights i thought he'd take everything from me, and i just... i couldn't stop him."
as riwoo spoke, woonhak's heart raced with anger. anger toward the person who had hurt riwoo, and anger at himself for not being there sooner. he tightened his hold, letting riwoo know he was safe now.
"you're not that person anymore, darling. you're stronger than you think," he murmured, trying to convey all the sincerity he felt.
the tears continued to flow as riwoo buried his face deeper into woonhak's embrace. "i just want to forget, but every time i close my eyes, i see him. i hear his voice." riwoo's confession was raw, and it resonated deep within woonhak.
in that moment, woonhak felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him, something beyond mere friendship. he wanted to protect riwoo, to love him the way he deserved to be loved.
"i want to love you, my darling. i want to be someone special for you," he confessed, his voice trembling with sincerity.
"i promise, i'll treat you better than he ever did. you deserve so much more, and i want to help you forget that asshole."
