Who Are We? [An Ateez Story] [Honghwa]

Prologue

I saw you from across the bus.

That same face I knew from years ago, back when we were young. 

Except it wasn't the same.

You used to be full of energy, your youth fueling you. I never knew how you did it.

Now your face looks worn. Like life hit you all at once. Your eyes are sunken, your skin paler. 

The light in your eyes is gone, from where it was once so present.

Maybe I understand you. 

Maybe it's not just you, but the others too. Everyone I used to love.

Exhausted by the outside world.

I want to save you.
