He escorted her to his car.
"You're rich. Aren't you?"
"I don't really know. Maybe something in the middle." He gave her his heart shaped smile. She really wanted to get away with this suffocating situation.
They drove. Hyejin was lost to her arguing thoughts. There were 2 voices arguing.
You made the wrong choice, Hyejin. You should've declined and ran away. Imbecile.
Hey! Don't call her an imbecile! She's a sweet loving girl.
Sweet and loving? Huh. No wonder she wants to cut herself so badly.
Will you stop? Hyejin, you made the right choice. Hoseok will help you fade away your unnecessesary thoughts! Wonderful!
Psh. Hyejin, Open the door of the car and escape from that vermin. You will finally achieve piece, happily.
What the fuck? Hyejin, Don't listen to her. She's crazy.
You know that you want to end all of this mess right? Right from the start, you wanted to leave this world. You have the chance, dearie!
Hye-
Do it, sweetheart. You know you want it.
"STOP!!" She screamed.
The tires of the car screeched as it stopped suddenly. Hyejin was covering her ears. Her cheeks was damp from sweat and tears. She was crying. Hoseok, from the other hand, was shocked but tried to calm himself down from anger.
"Hyejin?! What's wrong?! Are you okay?!" He immediately unbuckled his seatbelts and went outside the car to help Hyejin from the other side.
"H-hoseok... make it stop! Please.." She weeped, still covering her ears.
You dumb fool.
Good, hyejin.
You will be punished with an another cut later, you disobedient girl.
Shut up. Hyejin, you'll be fine. Be with Hoseok. He'll help you.
Tss. You're the one who's supposed to shut up. I'm the only one here helping Hyejin get her peace and you're standing over there making her suffering go on. Now, Hyejin, You can just stand in the middle of the road, honey.
What the actual fuck.
Shut up.
Hyejin burst into tears and threw herself to Hoseok. His eyes were big but hugged her back. "Are you okay, Hyejin?" He continued to pat her head with his hand.
Hyejin's POV
Always the same question."Yeah, I'm fine." I pulled away from him. I could see his eyes that he won't believe me.
"Breathe. You're going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you've been in this place before. You've been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you've survived. Breathe and know you can survive this too. These feelings can't break you. They're painful and deliberating. but you can sit with them and eventually, they'll pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you'll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass." He hugged me as he said that.
