"it all started when my dad left us. when i was thirteen, i heard my father slammed the front door so hard i swear to god it shook the whole house. for the past three years i watched my mother break her teeth on vodka bottles. i think he took her heart with him when he walked out. her chest is empty, just a shattered mess, or cracked ribs and depressing pills," i took a deep breath before continuing.

"i think she stopped breathing when he left. i think a part of her died."

i heaved a tear-filled sigh.

"i have a sister. she died last year of commiting suicide." i spoke slowly, pronouncing every word carefully as if it was made of glass.

"when i went home that night, i saw her lying her head on her bed. it's the blood in the matress that scared me. that night, i spent twelve hours in the emergency room waiting to see if my sister was going to be okay." i added, feeling myself on the edge of crying again.

"that moment scared me. the crying, and the flourescent lights, and the white sneakers, and pale faces and shaky breaths and blood.. so much blood. i knew she was gone." i burst out once again. letting my tears stain taehyung's shirt.

"after the boy she loved, told her he didn't love her anymore. other than being my sister, she's my only friend you know? god, i miss her so much."

taehyung sat there silently, arms still wrapped around me, not willing to let me go.
