the year is 2004.

chan and hyunjin were both in a mental hospital. chan was here because he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. hyunjin? he’s been here since he was 3.

chan had been put in this hospital for the reason he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and everyone in his life shunned him. his parents were concerned he was too obsessed with serial killers; too obsessed with killing animals. he was going insane in his home, so his mother sent him there. he had once skinned a rabbit for hyunjin, and gave him the plushie he made out of it.

and that was hyunjin’s baby. and hyunjin? he was autistic, and his family shunned him for that. he was just a baby when they abandoned him. and then chan came into his life. hyunjin was nonverbal, the boy spoke with his eyes, his body language. he had a speech therapist but he only spoke to chan, and even that it was only 5-7 words a day. chan understood it all. he didn’t need hyunjin to speak to know how much he loved his “best friend”. chan would KILL for hyunjin.. and he nearly did, when a boy asked hyunjin to pass him a water bottle.. hyunjin made chan apologize that day.. after biting him, of course.

hyunjin never ate. he had an awful eating disorder.. though, he had a biting problem. he never really got out of the teething stage of his life. he was always chewing on things he wasn’t supposed to be. chan and the hospital staff constantly had to stop him from chewing on things he wasn’t supposed to.. especially the tv cords.. he loved the cold wires against his teeth.

hyunjin was 15, chan was 17.. he’d be 18 in a few weeks..

they were gonna leave..

chan couldn’t handle it. it was too long. and he needed out. hyunjin needed out.
