Saturday 3 a.m (May 3rd, 2014)

The door burst opened shocking her. She quickly stood up and fixed her dress.

"Who is that?"

"It's me," Suho said as he walked in.

"It's 3 a.m..."

"Can I sleep here?" He asked.

"Um... I want to head home too"

"Can I just sleep on the chair?" He asked again.

"Uh okay"

He sat down in the chair and closed his eyes. He groaned and sighed.

*3 hours later*

Suho finally woke up and looked around the surrounding. 

"Are you awake?"

"What time is it?" He asked.

"Around 6 a.m"

"I slept for three hours..." He whispered to himself.

"Why did you come here?" 

"You are not going to tell my mom, right?" He asked.

"I promise you that. What we talked about in here won't go out of this room"

He took a deep breath and finally opened up his mouth.

"I don't want to live like how my parents force me to," He started.

She nodded. This is what she expected.

"Do you know how long I sleep...? I don't even know! Do I even sleep?" He exclaimed.

She was a little shocked by his sudden outburst but still paid attention to him.

"I think you are being sensitive because you don't get enough sleep"

"I know," He sighed.

"Is this why you come so late?"

"My parents think I went to the library," He explained.

"You should find yourself a hobby so you could take out your stress"

"I don't have time for them," He shook his head.

"How about singing?"

"Singing? I am not interested," He replied with a poker face.

"Hm... How about this? I will recommend you few songs to listen to, and then if you don't like it. Then, I won't say anything about it"

"Okay," He shrugged.

"Did you ever hear the song 'Kokobop'?"

"No," Suho shook his head.

"Try listening to it"

"If you say so," He shrugged again.

"You should also listen to Universe. They are great songs"

He smiled and nodded. She suddenly took out her phone and turned on a song.

"What song is this?" He asked.

"Lonely..."

Lyrics: 

Baby, I'm so lonely so lonely
I feel like I'm alone
When I see you so tired, I worry
that I'm baggage to you, that I'm too much

Baby, I'm so lonely so lonely
I feel like I'm alone
I don't want to make it obvious to you
I'm used to just holding it in
Understand me

"The lyrics are so relatable..." He sighed.

"This singer... suicided"

"Oh..." He looked shocked.

"He was lonely... And I could have helped..."

They both became silent and Suho stood up.

"Are you leaving?"

"My mom will kill me," He checked the time again.

He exited the room and ran as fast as he could.

"I will stop you from doing anything to yourself"
