The Bet (SF9 DaBin) ~ Book 1

26✔️

"Chanhee, Seokwoo sit down here for a second" Chanhee's mother requested after his blunt confession. It was now that he felt nervous and doubted his decision, hoping his mother and Seokwoo wouldn't be too mad at him.
"I'm sorry" he mumbled, sitting down beside his mother while Seokwoo was sitting down on his other side.
"Don't apologize. Chanhee you know that I love you and always will support you. You know very well that you've done irresponsible things in the past because of your mental health. I want to know how serious you are right now, I don't want you or Seokwoo to get hurt."
"I know eomma but I'm really serious now. It's not a joke to me" he admitted, blushing as he looked down at his hands, nervously as everything was silent again.
"Chanhee you're almost 17 now. I trust you with your choices but are you really sure you can mentally handle it?" she worriedly asked, remembering the situations in the past.

"Chanhee please don't do this. Open up the door" she yelled while crying, slamming her fist onto the door  while trying to open the locked door.
"Kang Chanhee I'll call an ambulance if you won't open up right now" she added, pressing her ear onto the door while trying to make out any sounds in the room. She has seen it before, knew exactly what happened before and she was anxious to see what will happen this time. She stayed still for a minute, frantically banging her hand against the door after she couldn't make out any signs of life from her son. Tears were streaming down her face as she grabbed her phone, quickly dialing the emergency number. She was already so used of telling them what happened that the call ended after a minute. It was a few seconds later when the lock finally clicked and she stormed into the room, seeing exactly what she expected.
"Chanhee, what happened this time?" she whispered while kneeling down beside him, embracing the teenager quietly as she held onto his bleeding wrists.
"Eomma help me, I can't do this anymore. It hurts so much" he cried, tiredly leaning his head onto her shoulder as he was close to losing his consciousness.
"Stay with me Chanhee. What exactly is hurting you?"
"Living" he simply mumbled, closing his eyes as everything slowly become black, the blood continuously streaming down his fingers.

"I'm sure eomma. He's making me feel better and I can handle the other kids at school. I'm already so used to it all."
"I really trust you and I believe that you say the truth. I just want you to be happy" she mumbled, quickly wiping at the tears threatening to escape her eyes.
"I am the happiest when I am with Seokwoo" Chanhee replied, smiling when he felt the older holding his hand underneath the table.
"I'm really sorry Mrs. Kim. I know that it's not an easy situation but I would never allow someone to hurt him, not when he's with me. I really love him and I'll promise to take care of him no matter what."
"Seokwoo-yah I've already told you how to address me. I trust you both, alright? Just don't make any stupid mistakes" she replied with a smile, looking at the two boys looking in front of her.
"Thank you eomma" they both replied in unison, bowing a bit making her chuckle.
"You boys. I should have known it beforehand. Chanhee has never brought home friends before."
"Stop embarassing me eomma" the youngest whined, quickly hiding his blush by lowering his head.
"It's not embarrassing, it's cute" Seokwoo replied, tightening his grip around Chanhee's hand a bit.
"Let's eat before the food will get cold" his mother said while standing up to bring the food.
"I'm glad that you told her and that she supports us" the older whispered into his boyfriend's ear, making him smile before they all started to eat together.
