Doyoung wanted to die.

Dying seemed like the only way out of his miserable life.

He sat on his bed, wrapped in his blanket, watching tiny flakes of snow fall slowly outside his window.

He's been locked up in his room for quite some time. A few days, at least. He's lost track of the date.

He didn't care, though.

Time didn't matter in the prison of his own thoughts and feelings.

At this point, he wasn't living anymore, he was just surviving.

Occasionally his mother would bring some food up to him, just like now.

"Hey Doyoung?" she called out, lightly knocking on the door.

Silence.

A sigh could be heard from the other side of the door.

"Sweetie?"

Silence.

"I made your favorite dish."

Silence.

"Please eat. You haven't eaten in days."

Silence.

"I'll just leave it here."

Silence.

"Your father is out for the day."

Silence.

"Please come out soon, we're worried about you."

Silence.

Doyoung heard retreating footsteps as he continued staring out the window.

He averted his eyes toward the door with guilt.

He was causing trouble for everyone else around him. He was just a burden. He hated himself.

He was worrying the only one in his family who actually cared about his well being, his mother.

He loved her so much. She tried her best to make sure Doyoung was okay, even with the excuse of a father and husband living with them.

The only reason why she'd sometimes not step in is because she knows it would only make Mr. Kim angrier.

After a few minutes, -or hours, Doyoung can't tell- another knock was heard.

"Doyoung? It's me."

Doyoung froze. What was he doing here?

"Let me in."

He was still sitting in his bed, motionless, staring at the door.

Another knock was heard, this time louder.

The bunny hurried to the door, falling on the way as his legs haven't been used in days.

With shaking hands, he turned the knob, opening the door to reveal

Johnny.

He pushed past the bunny into his room.

That cheater is now in his room.

He can't tell him to leave though, it would only cause trouble.

"Where were you?"

"He-Here." Doyoung's voice was hoarse, since he hasn't used it in such a long time.

Johnny looked at him with a stern expression, which made Doyoung slightly shrink into himself.

"And why, might I ask?" Johnny was now towering over Doyoung, who looked up at him with round scared eyes.
