~~~~~”Taekwoon-ah….I know that you don’t want to see anyone right now, but you really need to eat.” Taekwoon listened, very clearly able to understand the words the woman spoke. This woman sounded like his Aunt, however he didn’t want to be beside his Aunt. He didn’t want to do so little as look at her.

Taekwoon remained silent, praying that if he never spoke a word she would give up and go away.

“Taekwoon, you can’t continue on like this. You will need to come out of that bedroom someday or another.” Taekwoon didn’t want to come out. He felt as if he never wanted to see the sunlight again.

At this point in time, Taekwoon couldn’t understand what point leaving this area would serve. It’s not like he would get to go home, as he no longer had one. Taekwoon would need to interact with people, but just the thought sounded so terrifying it nearly made him vomit. The only person he was ever capable of speaking to comfortably, has now vanished.

At this point in time, eating didn’t even sound like it served a purpose any longer. Taekwoon figured that he at life anyways, and in his current predicament no one was going to miss him in the first place. If he just starved himself, he would no longer have to worry. He would no longer need to be scared.

“Taekwoon…I really don’t know what to say to you. What do you want to hear? That everyone is gone? Alright, I will leave. If it will make you come out, I will leave the house if you just promise me that you’re going to eat something. I know that you’re very shaken right now and you need time, but you can’t hurt yourself.”

Once again, Taekwoon remained silent. He could hear his Aunt sigh on the other side of the door. Her next words didn’t sound as if they were meant for him, but rather like she was whispering to herself.

“Aish, what would you do unnie? Unnie, your son is really a handful. How did you ever get this kid to leave the house? I can’t even get him out of his bedroom…..”

Taekwoon was aware he was awful for thinking this, however he didn’t feel bad for his Aunt. He felt bad that his Aunt had lost her sister, however they never spoke to each other. She hadn’t cared for his mother one bit until she was dead, and what did it matter if he forgave her? Say that he did, he couldn’t talk anyway. Taekwoon was about as socially inept as they got, and Taekwoon felt that it was better to spare himself the embarrassment.

“I’m leaving Taekwoon. I’m going to the market, and no one else is home. I left your food outside the door, so please take it. Eat it while I’m gone, and I will pick up your dish when I get back.”

The next sounds he heard, were the sounds of footsteps. Taekwoon had heard clearly what his Aunt had said. He had listened to every word intently and cautiously, however he didn’t move a muscle. Taekwoon didn’t so much as look upwards, only thinking the thoughts that he just wanted his mom to be by his side.~~~~~~

Taekwoon truly had never meant for any of the past 10 minutes to occur in that manner. He had really tried his best to communicate efficiently, but there was just something about Hakyeon. Something that made him even more nervous than he already would be, and it made him scared to say the wrong thing.

Despite how awfully silent Taekwoon had acted, he could see that Hakyeon had truly tried his best to make the other comfortable. It wasn’t Hakyeon’s fault that it had never gone as planned, but Taekwoon really hadn’t disliked him. He had been nice.

It was for that reason, Taekwoon had stopped once he saw the state Hakyeon was in. The other was kind, but he knew since he had noticed the other’s posture that something was wrong. He hadn’t asked, partially to save himself the terror and also for Hakyeon’s privacy. Still, Taekwoon refused to just pass by while he could still hear Hakyeon crying out in pain.

Taekwoon knelt beside him, resting his hand against the other’s shoulder. He could feel his very own muscles tense with the action, his body growing stiff, however he still continued. It took Taekwoon a moment to speak, forcing sound passed his lips once he did so.

“Do--you need help?” Taekwoon felt as if he wanted to tear his heart from his chest. He was aware of how idiotic and weak those words had sounded, however it was all Taekwoon had been capable of. He cursed himself for allowing his state to increase to this level.

“My-my car. P-ills, there in my car.” A tear slipped down Taekwoon’s cheek, fear rampidly running through his mind. It pained him to see Hakyeon sound this way. Earlier he had been so cheerful, however currently he was in far too much pain.

Taekwoon wasn’t sure what to do, however he knew where the parking area was. Given the current situation, he figured that he could find his way there. Hakyeon just needed to remain okay enough to point his vehicle out.

Cautiously Taekwoon lifted Hakyeon into his arms. It had been difficult, as Taekwoon rapidly discovered which areas were causing his distress. He was sure to support the others back and neck as securely as possible, running carefully foreword.

Taekwoon struggled to keep his head, feeling eyes glaring at him as they passed. He was sure it was an unusual sight, and Taekwoon felt as if there stares were burning holes in his chest. He felt as if the anxiety was causing him physical distress, however he did his best to remain focused. He at the very least needed to finish what he had started.

Arriving at the parking garage, Taekwoon didn’t know where else to go. Having no idea what the other’s car looked like, he mo
