- Chanyeol Pov –

I sit in the ice cream shop with what feels like the weight of the world on my shoulders, my heart feeling like its being scratched at every moment I let a thought creep in. I shove another spoonful of ice cream into my mouth, letting the brain freeze settle in so then it’s all I think about.
