“You really think you can leave this house before we tell you to!” The angered male said punching Woo in the face, causing him to fall on the ground with blood dripping onto the floor off from Woo’s nose “Fucking answer me! Do you think you can do whatever you please!” before Woo could answer his father stomping on his stomach causing him to lose air and only sobs left his lips causing his father to go harder and kick him over to his back and continually stomping on his back and beofor he stopped he slammed his foot on the back of Woo’s neck causing him to cough and gasp for air his lounges were begging for but his lungs and throat wouldn’t let him breathe causing him to slowly pass out for about a minute then waking up and coughing. 

Once Woo’s father left the room San rushed out of the closet to Woo who was still coughing holding himself “Oh my god Woo! Are you okay?” San asked knowing it was a stupid question but he needed to know if Woo was alright and was able to talk he shook his head yes but his eyes and the rest of his body were saying no “I-I’m fine San..” Woo said shaking violently. 

“We need to call the police Woo, get you to the doctor” San said pulling out his phone “No! No please…Don’t call them..” Woo pleaded as he looked at San with desparte voice. San looked in his eyes to see that they were begging him not to call the police. 

"You can't let them do this to you Woo" San said with a soft voice “no offence but that is kinda hypritcial of you San.. p-pluse I so use it, it's like a routine for me now” Woo said get his best off the ground without his legs giving out on him. 

“Damn that is hypritcial of me to say that… I was just adding onto the pain and suffering in his life… what is wrong with me!” San thought to himself as Woo was using him for a balance beam. He stumbled over to his bed, which is not the most comfortable but it's something to put pressure on his body. 

“Woo, I just want to say im so fucking sorry.. About everything… mostly about the jumping thing… I should never have done that.. Or told you to do that…” San said with a voice that was holding back so much emotion, like a cup overflowing with the consuming liquid, that would be the quilt and emotions that has been gone for so long. Woo just looked at him, not knowing what to do or what to say. 

“I should have never told you to do that… Your the only person that has ever cared about me.. And for some fucking reason it took me this long to realized that, and it’s probally to late for me… but it doesn’t have to be to late for you Woo..” San said with tears slowly running down his face, it was a surprise to Woo to be seeing San the person who made his life even more of hell be apologizing and be crying right in front of his eyes. 

That’s when he realized he needed to stay with San, that single moment brought the promise that Woo come true “It’s not too late for you either San, I’m going to help you with your demons, even if it kills me. I won’t let you be smothered alive by the darkness that this world showed us so so young, I promise” Woo said cupping San’s check with a small be gentle smile. 

That sentence made San cry even more and the smile brought something to San… it was hope. The hope of going back to his life that he missed, the hope of starting over, and hope of being with Woo. 

“Y-your the only person that has ever said that to me… thank you so much Woo” San said letting the tears fall down but they changed from sad to happy and hopeful. 

“Anything for you San, anything for you” Woo said softly as he felt like he was about to fall asleep. “Ima head home okay Woo, please be safe” San said as Woo was already asleep. 

San quietly sneaked passed by Woo’s drunken father and got out of that house. San’s mind was filled with so many questions and mostly fear. Not for him but for Woo, scared that his dad will hurt him to the point his body gives up and just die causing him to lose Woo forever. “I can’t lose him… not now after so many years of not having him in my life…” San said to himself as he was walking away from Woo not knowing it could be the last time if he’ll lose him for good.
