Around eight months ago, you moved with your family to a quiet and secluded neighborhood. There was nothing in your neighborhood that ever happened, unless it was a friendly cookout or party. It was practically only peace. You even met someone. Kim Seungmin, your neighbor. You may have just met maybe two or three months ago, but he was already like another brother to you.

However, on this very day, almost nightfall, you got into a really big argument with one of your brothers like always. It wasn’t like you could do anything about it since your parents were away, so the best thing you could do was leave the house for a bit. Once he’d been such a sweet loving brother, always wanting to help you when it came to your problems. Now it always ended in an argument, or him comparing his problems to yours, telling you how nice you’d have it. Without a second thought, you decided to go to Seungmin’s place, knowing he’d most likely answer the door for you after some time.

Once you arrived at his house, you decided to text him so you wouldn’t wake anyone up. Hopefully he was still awake, ‘cause if he wasn’t you’d be stuck at some supermarket or gas station for a few hours. After waiting a few minutes, the door quietly unlocked, opening slowly to a familiar face. It was Seungmin. Thank God.

“Why’re you awake at this time? Nonetheless here out of all places?” He rubbed his eyes, before offering you in. His voice was calm like always, though there was a hint of worry in it.
