"M-Minho," I choke out into the phone, muffling my sobs with my pillow.

"What's wrong? Do you need me to come over?"

"No, I just had a nightmare. Fuck, it scared me so much. Please don't leave me. Please. I love you so much. Fuck, I love you
so much, Minho."

"Oh sugar, I won't. I love you too much to ever leave you. Do you want me to pick you up today?" Minho asks over my sniffles.

"Please," I whimper, trying to keep my voice down for my mom. It goes silent for a moment before I speak up again, "I-I can't take this Min. I can't. Everything is just falling down all at once, crushing me. I can't do this anymore."

"Angel, Jisung, you're going to get through this. I'm going to be right here next to you, alright? You have six other boys willing to fight for you and stay with you. All seven of us will always be here for you. You are not alone, even if you feel that way. You're the glue in our group. We need you. We all love you so much, baby. We really do."

I sniffle, swallowing hard, "thank you. You're the best boyfriend ever. I don't know how I got so lucky with you."

"It's me that got lucky with you, baby. I love you so much."

"I love you, too, Min."

"Are you okay to go back to sleep or do you want me to stay on the phone with you until you fall asleep?"

"Stay, please."

"Alright baby. Close your eyes and lie down."

I did as he said, also turning off my lamp.

"Just listen to me, sweetheart. You are smart, you are kind, and you are important. I don't know how to make that any clearer. You are loved, baby. You are so loved. Your parents love you, your friends love you, and believe it or not, Heetuk loves you. Even Moto loves you. He stares at you all the time, even when you give him food. It's like he's saying, 'Jisung, I believe in you. Don't be sad anymore.' He wants you to know he loves you."

I giggle tiredly, feeling my headspace slip in and out of consciousness.

"I really believe in you. You're so strong. You have such a good heart, even though so many people have done you wrong. I really admire that. You..."

I groan as my alarm goes off, waking me from my sleep that only felt like a few minutes. A knock on my door startles me, my door opening and revealing Minho.

As soon as he walks in, memories of hours prior flood back to me. Tears spring to my eyes and he quickly sits with me and pulls me into a hug. I cry into his shoulder, my sobs racking both of our bodies.

"It's okay baby, it'll be okay," he hushes, but I can barely hear him over myself.
