Wake Up - Luwoo (NCT ff)

Let's wake up

"I can't see myself anymore"
"I can't control myself anymore"
"Darkness is my only friend"
"Someone help me"

It said.

I woke up with teary eyes. I looked around me. Where am I actually?

I'm in my dad's bedroom, sleeping next to him. I don't even want to remember last night. I hate my life here. Someone has to help me.

Someone has to save me.

I put the red blankets away from me and looked at my phone. 5 am.

It's saturday. People normally are glad because it's weekend. But I'm not. School is the only way to escape from my father.

My friends don't even know what I'm witnessing at home.

"Everything is fine."

I would tell them.

I was about to call one of my friends, even when it's 5 am because I felt very lonely, he told me I can always call him but, my dad woke up.

"What are you doing, Yukhei?"
"N-nothing"
"Calling one of your friends again? How many times have I told you not to?"
"I-I'm sorry"

I saw a belt appearing.

Oh no.

I could hear the leaves pop on the ground, while I stepped on them. I kept walking, walking, walking, walking and walking. My feet are getting hurt. It was getting cold. My hands are freezing. Why can't I see anything?

It's getting even more dark than earlier. Light was disappearing from my eyes. I felt even more empty than earlier.

I was still walking on the path that was in front of me.

But is this even the right path? It seems like it would never end.

Pain, I felt. I wanted to step aside from the road. Every step I take hurts me even more.

I could, step off the road. But maybe, I won't feel anything ever again.

I was about to head in a different direction, but I heard something.

"Do you want to escape?"

I was shivering. I looked around me to see if I could figure out who's saying this to me.

I quietly took a few more steps to the left.

"Answer me, Yukhei."

I was scared. How did he know my name?

"I know what you're thinking. Just tell me why you want to leave the path that's in front of you."

I hesitated, but then I responded:

"I want to end my suffering."
"Did you know, that ending it all won't be the solution?"
"B-but it will end all my feelings inside me, right?"
"Maybe. But it will hurt others."
"W-what do you mean?"
"Yukhei, you or your friends?"
"M-my friends."
"Then continue the road."
"I-I can't"
"You can."
"N-no."
"Yes."

A boy appeared and looked at me. He has black fluffy hair, and wore a white shirt with black pants. Very basic.

"I'll help you." he said.

He grabbed my hand and walked with me on the road.

"Wake up, Yukhei."
