Always Be With You (Kai x Reader) (Request)

*WARNING* MENTIONS OF SENSITIVE THEMES SUCH AS DEPRESSION, SELF-HARM AND SUICIDE. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Life is short, isn't it? There is so little time for someone to live in this world. So little time to make things right and enjoy your life. It's amazing really, how someone can achieve such success in a short span of time. Me, however, can't even do shit.

"Y/N? Hello?" I blink twice and see Kai waving a hand in front of me.

"Did I zone out again?" I ask.

"Yes," he nods.

"Ugh, I'm hopeless!" I rest my head on the table and let out a loud grunt.

I feel Kai's hand rest on my shoulder in a way to comfort me, I guess. These past days were extremely depressing and hard. First, anxiety joined the party. Second, diagnosed with depression. Third, my dad dies. Fourth, I'm kicked out of the house for no apparent reason. You're a worthless piece of shit. This voice inside me might just be right. Maybe I am just a piece of shit placed here for no reason.

"You want to get some ice cream, maybe?" Kai asks.

"Um, sure," I answer.

"My treat," he says with a bright smile.

He gets up from his chair and exits the room. I take a second or two before putting my notebook down and follow him. You probably don't deserve a boyfriend as amazing as him. The constant whispers felt like needles poking every single inch of my body. Don't deny it.

~●●●~

We arrive at the ice cream shop, and it is surprisingly empty. Kai goes up to the counter and starts saying our orders. I let Kai decide on what I want and wait for him by the table nearest to the counter.

"Here is your ice cream," he says sitting down. "M'lady." (Get the reference?)

"Since when am I your lady?" I ask.

"Since we got together," he answers with a smirk.

"Very funny, Kai," I say rolling my eyes.

I take a scoop from the cup of ice cream Kai bought. There's still school tomorrow. It's near graduation. I'm probably going to have to repeat this semester again. The thoughts wouldn't leave me alone. It's as if they never want to leave. I feel my eyes stare into nothingness as my brain goes off to who knows where.

"Y/N," Kai says, "Okay, seriously, what's wrong?"

"What?" I say snapping back into the world. "N-Nothing's wrong, Kai!"

My lips curl into a small smile, but I feel Kai didn't fall for that trick. He knows Y/N. I sigh heavily and take another scoop of my ice cream. A couple girls walk in the ice cream store. All of them looked confident and beautiful. Yet, here I am. A shy pezzo di merda that can't even make my own parents happy.

Why am I so jealous?

It's not like I met them before.

They're just strangers.

I don't even know them.

Yet, I can't help but compare my sorry ass to them.

"Hello? Earth to Y/N?" Kai waves a hand in front of me repeatedly.
