You stood wide eyed as you watched Baekhyun. His arms wrapped around someone else. His smile directed at someone else. His laughter heard by someone else.

You stared at the girl, the way she hugged Baekhyun back. The way her arms were wrapped around his waist. The way she leaned her head into his chest.

You were late.

You ran away, making sure Baekhyun didn't notice you. You ran past the stares, past the voices. You ran away, your tears falling to the ground.

You were too late.

 You were too late.

You ran into your apartment, locking the door as you sobbed. You slid down to the floor, your head in your hands as you struggled to control yourself. You looked up and stared into the kitchen, your eyes blank.

You walked into the kitchen, staring at the ceiling. You grabbed a chair and stared at the rope that you had attached to it, long before this day. You tied it around your neck, waiting to kick the chair off from under you. You closed your eyes and fell, the rope slowly choking you. You felt your tears drop as you struggled to breathe. Your eyes flew open as you heard a knock on the door.

"Ri! Open the door! My cousin wants to meet you!" Baekhyun yelled

You managed to get back onto the chair, taking off the rope as you fell to the floor. You began to cough and gasp as you pulled the rope away, hiding it. You ran towards the bathroom and stared at the gashes across your neck, the blood trickling down. You wrapped a scarf around your neck before you headed back towards the door.

"Oppa!" You said, your eyes wide with relief

"Of course. Who else could it be?" Baekhyun asked, smiling

"Say it again." Baekhyun said, his eyes on you

"I hate you." You said, tears falling

"You have no right to say that." Baekhyun said, tears in his eyes

"You honestly don't know?" You asked, wide eyed

"What? Tell me. For once in your life, tell the truth." Baekhyun snapped, glaring

"You don't know how much pain I went through." You said, sobbing

"I don't know? Are you ing kidding me!?" Baekhyun yelled, staring at you

"YOU DON'T! NOT SINCE THAT FIRST DAY!" You screamed, looking away

"What? That you love me?" Baekhyun asked, his eyes blank

"You knew?" You asked, looking back at him

"Of course. It couldn't have been more obvious." Baekhyun said, sitting down on his bed

"And you didn't say anything?" You asked, gasping

"How could I? You would have done something stupid." Baekhyun said, not looking at you

"6 years. And you knew!?" You screamed, unable to breathe

"I should have pushed you away. I was too stupid, I should have done something." Baekhyun said, looking at the wall

"You did this to me. You did this to me." You said, sobbing

"What else should I have done!?" Baekhyun asked, looking at you

"Let me go! You could have let me go!" You said, clutching your chest

"Then you would have killed yourself." Baekhyun said, tears falling

"I love you. I still do but you always knew." You said, falling to the ground

"I love you too. But not like that. Never like that." Baekhyun said, looking away

"Why? Why not?" You asked, looking up

"Because you were too much like me. It was like looking in a mirror. I hated the thought of it." Baekhyun said, looking at you

"So you let this happen? You made me like this." You said, crying

"I'm sorry." Baekhyun said, tears falling

"I can't let go. After so many years, I still can't let go." You said, shaking

"Then why are you doing this?" Baekhyun asked, looking at you

"To forget. To let go." You said, not looking up

"You're going to hurt him." Baekhyun said, looking at his hands

"You love him, right? More than me." You asked, looking up

"What do you want from me?" Baekhyun asked, smiling

"The truth. Please." You pleaded, rubbing your hands together

"I do love him. He was a way for me to be happy. A way for me to finally get something in return." Baekhyun said, chuckling

"I could have done that. I could have been yours. I could have helped you." You sobbed, shaking

"No. I had to take care of you. It was too much for me after a while." Baekhyun said, shaking his head

"What do you mean?" You asked, wide eyed

"6 years. I had to take care of you for 6 years. Not once, have you done the same." Baekhyun said, looking at you

"Love. That's what I have done. I loved you and I still do. That's what I'v given you." You said, begging

"It's never enough. I know you did but it wasn't enough. You only cared about yourself, relying on me all the time. As much as I wanted to love you, as much as I tried, you always pushed me away. You never told me the truth. I was just there. To comfort you. You never did the same for me." Baekhyun said, shaking his head

"I'm sorry." You said, looking down

"It's too late." Baekhyun said, shaking his head

"What do you mean?" You asked, looking up

"We can't go back to the way it was. I love you, Ri. But........it's too late." Baekhyun said, standing up

"Oppa! Where are you going!?" You screamed, following after him

You watched as Baekhyun grabbed his bag, slinging over his shoulder. You grabbed his arm and pulled back, hugging him. Baekhyun pushed you away and stared at you, softly smiling.

"Where are you going?" You asked, crying

"I'm sorry." Baekhyun said, smiling

"Oppa! I can let go. You know I can. I can let go. Don't leave me. Please. Don't leave me." You begged, falling to your knees

"I'm sorry." Baekhyun said, walking away
