Halla POV

"Be my girlfriend "

My mind goes blank. I don't know what I should do or say,

"See, even my last hope rejects me." He climbs onto the railing , what is he doing?!

Without thinking, "Yes. I'll be your" I gulp" girlfriend."

He pauses and suddenly breaks down into a flood of tears. "Halla shi, I'm really sorry"

I'll be his "girlfriend" until he's better again, right?

We go to a near by bench where he cried It out and I just can't help but to feel so bad. I hug him. I hug him because he needs a hug.

He stops after a while, " I know I seem really selfish right now..." I stay silence, " and you're probably wondering why I'm doing this."

Mingyu POV

I breathe in and tell her the story

"15 years ago, I used to live in this grandmothers house. She cared for me, loved me and taught me to be a good person. Her granddaughter was my best friend who also stayed by my side and helped me. When I was walking back from school, I heard tragic news that my, uh, that my, *breathes parent s both passed away. They said they didn't know how they died or anything. And that's when he'll comes in. My uncle was in charge of me now, and He detested me. I got abused nearly everyday and still continues to this day. What was worse is that the grandmother passed away too. The night of both funerals was the night my bestfriend was going to move away. The last thing she said to me: do you want some ice cream?"

I see the impact of my story.

No one understands how hard it was for me.

To be alone. In this hunormous world. To come home with fear.
To not know what love was for a long time. Suddenly meeting her again gave me a spark in the dead dark. She makes me want to live, so she can teach me to live again. Trust again. Love again. But without her, there's no use...

"Guess what her name was?" She shrugs to my questions, I'm sorry if I just flipped your world upside down,

"Lee Halla,"

Halla POV

I feel so bad for him. Hes been alone his whole life, no friends or family. I want to help him but i feel as i if im not in the ppsition to do so. But why do His story seem so familiar? he can't possibly be???

"Guess what her name was?"

It's not me, it's not me

"Lee halla"

"Halla, it's you," Did he read my mind?

"Halla, you're the best friend,"

I'm so,,,, so.... I need space.

I need time.

To clear my head...

I feel happy, and sad. Thrilled yet frightened. So sure but confused.

I don't know.
