❝he thought about things,
no one else would do...
until he met her.❞

"he stared at himself in the reflection of the clear window. his eyes were dark, his smile faded and the once happy feeling he had faded away."

"he didn't want to be h i m. he wanted to be someone else who was 'better' than h i m. he wanted to be someone more popular, he wanted to someone who was like baekhyun, like chanyeol. he wanted to be more loved- he wanted to feel loved, just like they did. why? why wasn't he made like them?"

"he tried his best, but it just never seemed enough."

"he sighed, looking away from his reflection, but to outside. the balcony."

"he stepped outside and watched as the cars flew by on the busy roads of seoul. oh how beautiful the lights were. the bright stars which covered the deep blue sky, the shining full moon and the tall buildings which had lights from the inside. in his opinion, seoul was just amazing, but ... he didn't want to be in seoul. he wanted be away from all of this mess."

"he stepped closer to the railing, peering over once again at the ground below. oh how...
t e m p t i n g it looked. the grey side walk, the few people walking. it seemed...
p e r f e c t."

"he held onto the railing and flung one leg over, then the other, balancing himself on the stable, metal railing. he shut his eyes and imagined the world below him, but h i m on the floor."

"jongdae! yah! what are you doing!" all of a sudden, his eyes shot open and he became unbalanced and ...

fell forward."
