Min Sung POV
I saw Sasha walk up the stairs towards the balcony. I let her stay there for some time.I got my phone out of my back pocket and started reading the news that i missed.
About 1 and a half hours have passed. I was on the couch reading. My eyes felt heavy.
I got up rubbing my eyes. I stretched my arms and started walking towards the ... i mean, my room. Mom has another room now and she's out with Sasha's dad.
I walked towards the room hoping Sasha is sleeping. I got on the third floor and i saw light coming from the balcony.
Why isn't she sleeping?
I slowly opened the door thinking about the possibility of her sleeping there.
When i got in i saw her looking at the sky.
She took her headphones out.
She didn't notice me yet.
She suddenly started talking.
"They say that after you die you become one with the nature. That you could become one of the stars up in the sky."
Her voice was trembling.
What happened to her.
I asked myself, my heart hurting.
"Mom.... are you up there too? Are you looking down to us? Are you.... proud of me... of who i am?"
I saw tears rolling down her rosy cheeks.
Did her mom pass away?
I didn't know much about her.
I didn't want to just let her cry alone.
She let her head down tears falling down. She cried in silence. It hurt me.I started walking towards her. When i got there she still didn't see me.
I put my hand on her back. She quickly fixed herself and looked at me as if nothing happened.
It made me angry but sad at the same time. Why was she hiding her feelings?
I did the same before but, i was alone at that time. She has me. I hope she realizes that I would do anything so she won't hurt anymore."It's okay to feel sad. It's okay to hurt. But it's not okay to hurt alone. It's bad to hold it all inside you. It slowly destroys you from the inside then from the outside." Said i in a calm tone relating to her state.
I saw her body reacting to my words. Her hands started trembling but she didn't want to show it so she hid them behind her back.
I slowly reached for her hands. I wanted to make her realize that it's fine to be sad. It's nothing inhuman to feel down and she has no reason to hide it.
I suddenly hugged her without planning to. I didn't control myself. I was ready to feel her push away from the hug. But to my surprise she didn't.
She needed a hug and i gave it to her.I felt her crying on my chest, my heart breaking slowly.
We stayed like that for some time until she calmed down and pushed away from me.
She was still looking down. I wanted to see her beautiful face.
I put one of my fingers under her chin, carefully lifting it up. Her face was wet because of the tears. I put my thumb on her face and starting whipping the tears away, trying to wipe the the pain along with the tears.
I thought she was about to look back down when I finished so I grabbed her by her shoulders. She instantly looked in my eyes. I looked at her face, her beautiful face.
She saw me looking at her, but just then I realized she had never seen my face.
I rarely take my mask off. I never show my face to people, but she was special for me.
I reached for my right ear, ready to take it off, praying that she'll accept me.

Sasha POV
I just froze. I don't even know why i had reacted like that.The mask fell down revealing his face.
My eyes got so big.
I saw him being nervous because of it. What for? He was the most gorgeous man i have ever seen.
My heart started racing so fast. What is this feeling that i have towards him?
"You're so....." i saw him getting visibly nervous with every second.
"You are gorgeous."
He abruptly lifted his head back up looking at me. His mouth was slowly opened probably because of what i said.
Why was he so shocked?
"Why are you always covering your face. You are actually very handsome. Did.. did something bad happen to you?"
"I just lost trust in people. I'd rather be forgotten than remembered. And it's easier to forget someone when they haven't even seen your face." He said.
"Why are you like that? Maybe there are people that don't want to forget you. And there for sure are people that won't forget you even tho you wear a mask. I haven't talked much to you, but i'd never forget you. I respect your privacy but please don't hide yourself either. You shouldn't be forgotten."
He smiled at me. His smile was so beautiful.
"Thank you."
"What for?" Asked I surprised.
"For everything. For what you said. For the fact that you listen to me. For being with me."
Now i was the one that had to give him a hug.
I wrapped my arms around his back and pulled him towards me. He let his head on my shoulder.
We stayed like that for some time now.
Did he fall asleep?
I took a peek at his face.
He fell asleep!!
I carefully laid him down and put a pillow underneath his head. I was about to leave him sleep when someone grabbed my hand.
"Stay with me. Don't leave me." He mumbled.
"Okay. I won't leave." I sat near him.
He put his head on my laps and fell back asleep.I admired him for the time I wasn't tired. I stayed like that and watched him for about 10 minutes. He was so beautiful. What was he so scared of.
I saw him lift his head. He looked at me. My cheeks felt as if they were burning."You should sleep too ya' know?" He said in a sleepy voice.
"Oh. O-okay."
I laid down facing the other way from him. I got myself under the blanket.
The heat wasn't coming from the blanket but from his body. It was so near to me. It felt so.. so right. I then fell asleep.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
