Just a short chapter okay?

Aron's POV

I ran inside the bathroom.

"Don't. Don't. Please." I sobbed.

JR looked scared and shocked. 

"Why can't you see yourself like I-"

JR cut me off by throwing the razor at the wall and shouting.

"ARGHH! Go away!" he snarled.

My eyes widened in surprise. How could he be so angry?

"I'm trying to help you, JR-ah." I tried to sooth him.

"No one can help me! Even I can't help myself!" he yelled, frustration clear in his tone.

I sighed. "I'm trying to help you."

"GO AWAY!" he yelled again, this time more angry and aggressive sounding. 

"Let me help you. I'll support you." I tried to assure him.

"You can't Aron hyung!" he collapsed on the ground on his knees. "No one can help me." he whispered.

I sat down beside him and wrapped my arms gently around his waist, avoiding the raw cuts. "I can." I replied softly, hoping that I sounded calm and kind.

"No. No you can't. Everyone hates me. I'm such a failure. I-" JR choked on his tears. "I don't want to try anymore." he sniffed.

I blinked back tears. 

"JR-ah. Listen to me." he looked down at his hands. "Look at me." I told him firmly.

He looked up. His eyes were a soft brown color. They were sad and innocent, like a puppy when you leave it home alone for the first time.

I removed my hands from his waist and slowly twined my fingers into his. "You're perfect. How come you don't know this?" I pulled his hand to my lips and kissed it.

JR blushed. A soft pink tinted his cheeks. It made him look adorable. 

"But Aron hyung, I.....I don't want to try anymore. I'm sick of trying. I just want to........give up. I've never told anyone this. Not even Ren and the others." he confessed.

"I'm not going to tell." I promised, giving him a smile which brought another pink tint to his cheeks.

"But-" I began. I pulled my hands out of his and pulled him closer to me.

"JR, promise me you'll try. Promise you'll be strong. Promise me to never give up. Promise to me." I pressed my forhead against his.

The tears poured down his cheek, dripping onto the floor.

The innocent boy sniffed. "I promise."

"Good, good." I softly kissed his nose, then wrapped my arms around the fragile boy affectionently.

We sat on the floor, just holding each other until I heard Minhyun's familiar footsteps enter the livingroom.
