Summary
Nam-gyu thought silence was better. Cleaner. Safer.
But when Min-su sends him a message out of nowhere, it scrapes at the one thing Nam-gyu can’t bury: the need to matter to someone.
He told himself he didn’t care. He was wrong.or
“I-I know…” Min-su mumbled. “I just wanna make sure you’re okay..”
Nam-gyu’s mouth snapped shut. “…Heh? You’re so fucking stupid…” he mumbled. “I’m not okay. I’m never gonna be okay. That’s just the truth.”
“No.” Min-su said, firmly this time. “That’s not the truth. I don’t believe that.. I want to be there for you– even after everything... I still want to help. Or at least just keep in contact.”
Nam-gyu stared at him like he was out of his mind. Like Min-su was offering him something he didn’t know how to accept.
And then Min-su added, quieter this time. “...I know we don’t particularly get along. But I wanna be here for you. I-I know you’re struggling… And I wanna help you.”
He shifted in his seat. “I don’t wanna… Give up on you. I… I won’t give up on you.”
