Summary
Steven braves his way out and holds his hands, rubbing at his knuckles. “You don’t have to bear all your burdens alone. I don’t like this, either. This cruel fate we have all been born into; alpha, omega, beta… be classified into one of these and it molds your entire life.” He takes a deep breath. “But young master, if we were to defy fate, a singular man does not make a village. It takes a village to make a man. You don’t have to be alone. I’m here. Use me.”
A dry laugh comes out of Shuaibo’s mouth. More tears come out of his eyes. “Do I have a choice?”
We can’t afford to, Steven thinks, but it is not what Shuaibo deserves. This wretched life is not what he deserves. This burned reality is not what he should be living.
Or: Steven had just lost everything, and Shuaibo cannot be the one to pick up the pieces.
