I couldn't sleep after that. After I turned off the light, I just lied there and stared at the ceiling until the sun came up. I stood up, and wobbled out of the room, my footing unsteady since I was basically running on no sleep. I crashed on the couch and closed my eyes from the torturous sun peeking through the curtains. He wouldn't cheat on me. He wouldn't cheat on me. He wouldn't cheat on me... It was the only thing I could keep repeating to myself to keep me calm. I hear the door from the bedroom creak open yet I still stood in the same position. "Ge-Gege, you're up early." His voice sounded so fragile, so broken. "I didn't sleep much." I answered softly. I wasn't mad, just a little upset. "Me neither." Is he going to tell me what happened? Do I have to ask him? "I- Can I ask you something?" I sit up and look over to his direction. He seemed terrified. I could see him shaking from across the room.

    I couldn't stand seeing him like that. I stood up and closed the distance between us in an instant and wrapped my arms around him. I gently kisses his hair. "Stop trembling. I've got you now." His arms wrapped around me and gripped at my shirt with an iron hold. "We don't have to talk now if you don't want to." I smoothed my hand over his hair softly and I felt him relax a bit. "Gege, i-is it wrong for someone to touch me down there?" A wave of icy chills froze my body in place. Someone touched him? I felt my throat close up, making it extremely hard to swallow, but I somehow managed. "Am I ... do you think I'm dirty?" I could feel the front of my shirt getting wet while one of his hands left my body to cover up the marks on his neck. Dirty? Where did he get an idea like that? "Why would you even think like that?"       "Jiejie s-said that if someone e-else touches me that I'm dirty and th-that Gege won't w-want me anymore s-so I t-tried to hide it." He started shaking again, and his tears were starting to penetrate my shirt. Whoever ing touched him is going to die. Whoever told him such lies will die. I pulled away softly from him and picked him up bridal style. He wrapped his arms around my neck tightly. I placed butterfly kisses on his forehead and ghosted down the bridge of his nose then kissed away his tears while I took him back to the bedroom
