I'm fineㅣJihan

How many times have you said "Go Away" but what you really want is for the other person to care enough to stay.

I lay in bed. Staring up at my ceiling. What a weird day. Who would've thought a model would've saved me. Who would've thought anyone in this cruel world would actually care. But he's not here now. He can't save me. I open the bottle of pills...

The door bell rang. I don't care. I don't answer it. I lay in bed hoping the person behind the door would leave him alone.

It kept ringing. "Aghhhh what!? What do you want?!?" I yelled as I got up to scold whoever interrupted my life.

"Why are you always so grumpy Joshua?"

I stared at Jeonghan. "Go away."

"No, let me in. You promised me a birthday dinner."

"Why would I let a stranger into my home? And how in the world did you even find me?"

He shrugged. "Connections. And I don't think we're strangers anymore. I know your name. You know mine. I think we're friends now don't you think?" he smiled his charming smile that sent butterflies to my stomach.

I rolled my eyes. "That's not how it works...but come on in. Make yourself comfortable."

He walked in and looked around. "Wow. Why would a rich person like you want to leave all of this?" Jeonghan sat down on the sofa.

"Because money isn't life and life isn't money. You of all people should know that."

"I do. That's why I said 'We're not so different.'"

"If we're talking about status then no thanks."

"That's not what I mean. Money brings stress. More stress than money."

"Then you are correct."

"Now would you excuse me, I have some stuff to do." I got up and walked towards my room hiding the pills.

"What kind of stuff?" He asked following me. He saw the medicine.

He snatched it out of my hand.

He walked to the bathroom.

He opened the bottle.

He flushed it down the toilet.

There goes my escape.

And he saved me for a second time.
