    They wish you’d told them. (SA warning)

    The three of you sat on the bed, the air thick and the silence deafening.

    You had been dating Xie Lian and Hua Cheng for the past two years, but you had always found it hard to open up about your past that was eating you up.

    You couldn’t take it anymore.

    They had already noticed how you’d flinch when touched in certain spots and how you’d shy away every time they’d try getting more intimate. They understood not to pressure you, but they just wanted to know you and know why.

    So, today, you finally spoke up about your past abuse and sexual assault experiences.

    They both stared at you with a terrible guilt and pain in their eyes.

    “Why… why didn’t you tell us…?”
