Yoosung sat cross-legged in a sea of orchids, his hands occupied with a small flower crown he was making. He smiled slightly as a gentle butterfly landed on his finger. He was at peace. 

"Here you go Rika!" Yoosung giggled, his arm outstretched and very delicately placing the crown on top of his cousins head. "Now you look like a princess on the outside too!" He admired his work while Rika grinned and bowed towards him.

"My first royal decree will be no one will ever have to feel alone." Rika spoke softly, holding Yoosungs hand. Yoosung held his free hand up to his face, feeling it grow damper and damper. He called out to Rika but she was long gone and so was the bed of flowers he had only just been sitting on. He didn't understand why he was crying or where Rika had gone. She had just been with him, why was he now alone? Yoosungs head fell into his hands, his blond hair spilling over his long thin fingers. The tears wouldn't stop. He screamed until he couldn't scream anymore, it was all he could do apart from cry. His surroundings kept disappearing, one thing after the other until there was complete darkness. The only thing left was Yoosung curled up in a ball, holding his legs close to his chest, he held his arm out for someone. For Rika? For his mother? He didn't know who he was grasping for but he needed them more than he needed air.

"Yoosung! Yoosung wake up!" You shook your boyfriend awake with a concerned look on your face. He had been shaking and crying out in his sleep for the past five minutes and he wasn't waking up. You bent down and gently kissed his forehead after running your hands through his hair. "Come on babe please." You muttered under your breath. It was only just loud enough that he could hear it, so you didn't think it would wake him up, but to your amazement his big purple eyes fluttered open. 

"Rika?" Yoosung whispered, he slowly wiped his tears away with his cotton sleeve. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were surrounded by purple and blue and his mouth was trembling. You could tell whatever was playing out in his head was seriously affecting him.

"Baby don't worry," you spoke softly, taking him into your arms, "You're safe now I promise." You felt Yoosung sigh and cuddle close into you, your arms becoming his new safe-space where no one or nothing could hurt him.

"Please don't let go, y/n." Yoosung whimpered. You shook your head and stroked his long blond hair. There was no way you'd let him out of your arms anytime soon. It had been a rollercoaster ride when you first met, but it had definitely been the best 11 days of your life.
