warning: mentions of depression

"you're doing it again."

"what?" you snapped out of your thoughts.

"you're pushing me away. you shut people out."

you didn't realize.

"oh, sorry,"

"i thought everybody was here to ruin me," you continued, hating the way you sound so vulnerable.

"i'm your bestfriend, i'm not one of those people, don't treat me like one." bestfriend!donghyuck scolded you. you pursed your lips when you realized that it's been a while since someone actually listened to you. donghyuck, is actually someone who always does, and you keep forgetting that.

"the fact that i’m failing at everything, the fact i disappoint the people i love, i sit down and i drown in that realization everyday."

silence.

you looked up at the stars and just realizing, it's real, this is all real.

"hyuck,"

he hummed.

"if someday, i lost my battle-"

"y/n-"

"please don't be sad, i'm no longer in pain,"

"y/n-"

"please know that i did my best to overcome-"

donghyuck got up from the ground and grabbed your shoulders firmly, in the brink of tears, the sight suprises you.

"you're not giving up," he broke out.

"you promised yourself to make yourself happy, catch your dream works, travel around the world, those are still waiting for you, please don't stop."

his wavering tone made your stomach sick, guilt slowly eating you alive.

you laughed pathetically to yourself, and it turns into a heart-wrenching cry without you realizing.

your emotions gave in. a waterfall of tears fell down your cheeks, heavy sobs and sniffs came by, and donghyuck, is always there. he wipes it with his thumb, caressing your back while mumbling reassuring words.

"i'm so tiring, am i?"

he smiled.

"i'm always tired, but never of you."
