    Summary

    Minho didn’t know it, but he was Jisung’s strongest drug. Stronger than the pills, stronger than the needles, stronger than the smoke that used to fill his lungs and choke his pain into silence. Just being here, just being near him, Jisung felt something close to peace.

    Or: Han Jisung, drug addict boy knows the strongest drug he has ever used, Lee Minho

    Summary

    “Um,” he squeaked, internally kicking himself when his voice cracked. “I… My name’s Han Jisung, I’m sixteen, and I…” He swallowed the lump in his throat, his knees pressing closer to his chest as he fumbled over what words were to come out of his mouth next. He didn’t want to say it, because in his heart it wasn’t true, but if he had asked any of his friends; his family, they’d all tell him the same thing.

     

    “I tried to kill myself.”

    or:

    after a failed suicide attempt, jisung finds comfort in his peculiar new roommates in the psych ward.

    Summary

    Why was he thinking about this in the first place? There was no way Chan was ready to have kids yet. He was barely able to take care of himself and he was always away at work until ungodly hours of the night, kids shouldn’t even be on the table.

    But…

    Summary

    Seungmin doesn't step on it today.

    He has already eaten. He's already dressed. He doesn't want to strip down again. It's too cold out for that. He would have had to have done it before his walk, but he forgot. It's too late to do it today. He'll do it tomorrow. He'll remember. (He won't. It's becoming too easy to forget.)

    He opens his window more and lights a candle on top of his desk. His room won't smell of his soul rotting anymore, at least for today. He's back out of his room and working on finding things to do. The day is monotonous. He does his laundry. He sweeps. He watches videos on his phone. He eats a reheated lunch. He puts away his laundry. That's a real feat. That's a reason to celebrate. He wipes the counter and tables off. He’s on his phone again. He showers. Watches the grime peel off his skin like the orange he eats as a snack, and run down the drain. He spends more time on his phone. He ignores messages. He reads them but ignores them. That's too much. He's already doing a lot. He can't add that on.
