Zhi Shui's POV

I hadn't been feeling all too well lately. I hid away in my room for the past 3 days, even avoiding my fiancé, Da Yu. I felt terrible about it, but I just couldn't help it. The dark voices in my head were taking over my thoughts and controlling my whole body. It all started getting too much when Da Yu and I were out shopping a few days ago. He had picked out a nice outfit for me to wear, which I quite liked. But once I looked into the mirror, it all came crashing down on me.

You look ugly, don't buy that outfit.

That tight shirt doesn't even look good on you, where is your sixpack, even?

That outfit looks good, just not on you.

And many more. I did like the clothes, but they apparently made me look ugly. I quickly took them off, got dressed and stormed out of the store. Da Yu ran after me, thinking he did something wrong when in reality, it was all my fault.

I had always been really insecure about my looks. I didn't even get bullied at school or anything. People always thought that I was so happy and positive about everything, when actually I was nothing more than a depressed, insecure kid. I was constantly fighting a battle with myself. And when I thought that I was finally about to win the battle, I quickly realized that that wasn't the case. I was honestly shocked that Da Yu continued to stick by my side. If I were him, I would have dumped my ass. I didn't deserve someone like Da Yu. He deserved better, not someone shitty like me. What was there to love about me? I never understood that. And I probably never will. I felt like I was always repeating myself, but it was the truth. A thought crossed my mind and I started to think about it for a while. I needed to give Da Yu some space. It was time for me to leave and figure out what the hell was going on with me. I didn't want to bother Da Yu and worry him for no reason, so it was best for me to leave for a bit. And with that, I started packing my things. Two suitcases worth of clothes. Da Yu was currently in our garden, maybe I would even be able to sneak out and leave him a note.  But I'd have to be very careful and quiet with that. I couldn't bare looking him in the eyes and then leave. It would break my heart.

I slowly left our room, but not before grabbing the stuffed teddybear Da Yu had given me on our very first date, three years ago.

It was now or never. I had to leave, I couldn't do that to Da Yu anymore. I carried both of my suitcases, just so I wouldn't make too much noise and get caught. And as I was about to grab my car keys and leave, I noticed that they were gone.

"Are you looking for these?" I suddenly heard Da Yu say behind me. My eyes widened in shock and I was scared to turn around. Of course my ass would get caught, what did I expect?

"Give me my keys, Da Yu." I said in a cold tone, holding my hand out.

"Are we going on a surprise vacation that you didn't tell me about or what are those two suitcases for?" He asked, looking very suspicious. I was starting to sweat and feel a little bit nervous.
