Sometimes you feel like you love him more than you should. That every time Lee Know pulls away, even a little, your world rocks. Your thoughts race, your chest tightens, and all you want is a sign that he's still there, with you, loving you.

Lee Know, on the other hand, is silence. He's pause. He's space. Not because he doesn't love you, but because that's how he's learned to protect himself from pain. He retreats into his own world when something overwhelms him, and that hurts you more than you'd like to admit.

But despite that, he never completely leaves.

Sometimes he doesn't answer your texts right away, but he shows up at your door with a hot meal when you need him most. Sometimes he doesn't say "I love you" every day, but he covers you with a blanket when you fall asleep on the couch. He listens to you when you cry, even if he doesn't know what to say. And even if he doesn't fully understand how your anxiety works, he wants to learn. For you.

One night, after an argument where you were crying and he didn't know how to approach you without breaking down, he looked at you with guilt-filled eyes.

“I'm sorry if I seem distant sometimes... it's not because I don't care about you. It's just that I'm scared.”
