✦ I see your wounds, they look like mine ✦

Nothing in your life had ever been easy. Even at a young age, you had experienced things that left a deep mark on your daily life. The abandonment by your biological father and the abuse and neglect from your mother triggered trust issues within you, which later led to harming your own body just to calm your negative thoughts.

You spent your childhood years in solitude, and when you entered adolescence, nothing had changed. You isolated yourself from people, never leaving your house even when you were alone, and you looked tired. You even had trouble sleeping.

But all of that changed when he came into your life. Yang Jungwon, your soulmate, the boy who was always there for you even when you tried to escape his insistence on caring for you. He loves you, and you love him. He saw your wounds, and feeling identified with them, he didn't want to let you go.

"Pain heals better if we are two," Jungwon said as he sat on your bed, stroking your scarred arm, trying to soothe your crying. It was another one of those nights where you felt alone and without a shred of hope to keep living, but Jungwon would never let you go.

"Let's go out, let's do whatever you want," he said, taking your hand to lift your body from the dent formed in your bed for a nighttime walk. After all, your mother was never there to control you.
