Don't leave me..

Please..

Not you too..

I clenched my fist hard as the scenes from the day my mothers body was found started playing in my head. It has been a while since I actually cried. I can't break down. Not over this, something like this. If he got attached to me it's his fault not mine. It's not mine. I don't care about him. No. Never... that won't ever happen. I grabbed a fist full of my hair as I feel on my knees in this dark hell. It felt as if it won't ever end. As if just like that dream never leaves me alone I'll be stuck here too. I guess this was how I was meant to live my life. I won't let that brat of a thing get to me just because of the tears in his eyes that filled up every time I disappointed him or whatever.

Leave me alone..

Go away..

Go the fuck away..

I touched the rough ground with my forehead as I screamed with all my might. I won't let him get to me. No.. never. Not gonna happen. I laughed. This is what happens to things like me I see. Who even think of ruining someones life for money. This is what happens-

My brain couldn't process the information as to what happened. But I wrapped my arms around his waist tight as I buried my head in his neck when he jumped on me and hugged.

'Don't leave me, you can't...' I mumbled in his neck. He clenched onto the back of my shirt harder. Did he hear me? Or was it that he never left?

He never said anything. I couldn't stop my tears. I wished that I could've met him in a better life. That's all I've been thinking of since the day I saw his picture in Kim's hands. Maybe then we could've gone for a walk without having the urge to run back for not being scolded. We could've done so much more without having to be worried about all these stupid rules.

'...you... you're hurting Minhyung,' It barely left my mouth which soon earned a giggle from the koala that had latched itself on to me. A small smile crawled on my face.

'Do you wanna run away with me, Haechan?' I whispered even though we were alone in these woods. The boy moved back as his eyes matched mine. He took a few seconds but nodded slowly, I caught him by the waist and hugged him back. I needed this warmth just for a little longer.

I smiled to myself.

Everything was going according to the plan.
