IBINABATO niya ang lahat ng mahawakan niya. His skin is already red and bruised because of the things he's throwing. His palms are already bleeding from holding the glass frame and shattering it with them. His eyes are glowing with hate and pain.
Umiiyak siyang nakatingin sa hawak niyang picture. Basag na ang salamin at sira na rin ang frame dahil sa paulit-ulit na panununtok. Basa na rin ito at may bahid na ng dugo.
It is Seungcheol's picture. Iyon ang unang larawan ng lalaki na naipadevelop niya. It was when he first saw Seungcheol in the lobby of their company.
"Why? Why?!"
He smashed the frame with his hands. It was painful, but the pain in his heart is more powerful that it numbs all the physical pain he is feeling at the moment.
"I loved you! I love you! Jihoon loves you! And you are my friend!"
He threw it across the room. His eyes roamed the whole room. It stings, because his room is full of Seungcheol's pictures and things.
He choked in his tears and continued weeping. My Seungcheol...
Tuwing sumasagi sa isip niya ang nangyari kanina ay napapasigaw siya. Hindi niya matanggap. Masakit. Sobra.
I'm sorry...
Sorry? Is sorry enough? No!
"Jihoon!"
The door opened and his father came in, together with those scary people wearing white uniforms. Sa halip na magwala ulit at pinilit kumawala ay di siya gumalaw. Hinintay niyang lumapit ang mga ito at hawakan siya.
They might have it with them. The needle. The one they puncture in his wrist and make him sleep and feel nothing. I need it. I need it.
"Please...sedate me...please...," he pleaded.
"Yes, baby. They will."
"Please..."
DR came to him with the needle on his hands. His tears flowed at the sight. Please, numb me.
He didn't move away when it sank in his skin. He just waited for the drug to do its work.
I hate you.
I hate you.
His eyes slowly closed as his mind slowly drifted into darkness. His tears continued flowing so as his pain. But he can feel everything fading already.
He rested and dwelled in the world of dreams.
I hate you.
