Gone.

He was gone. She didn't mean to snap at him, she didn't mean it! Why did she always screw everything up?! It didn't matter. Crying about it wasn't going to help anything. MC's usually bright brown eyes were dimmed of their usual sparkle, the whites of her eyes now a deep red. She just wanted to see those amber eyes one last time. She wanted to run her hands through his messy, vibrant red hair. Everything around her lost its color, and not only that, but the world was colder without him there. She should've known. But he isn't the only one with a terrible backstory, he's not the only one whose life went downhill so fast! She hadn't even met her father, he was killed saving her from a robber when she was only a year old. And after that, her mother went insane. She was beat and yelled at every day of her miserable life. How's that for a childhood? Her sister got to leave with their aunt, so she was alone now. That's why she tried so hard to make sure that everyone else around her was happy and healthy, so they wouldn't have to go through the pain that she went through every day of her life. She hadn't even realized she picked up a knife. 'If only all of the pain could end...' Was the last thing MC remembered thinking before letting the knife slit freely across her wrists.

Wrong.

What did I do wrong? What happened to the sweet MC I once knew? What did I do to change her mind? I shouldn't have left. Something has to be bothering her. Why am I such an idiot?! She obviously wasn't okay, and I was so selfish! I was offended by what she said and I left. Her normally bright brown eyes were so full of pain and anger, she was screaming for help, and I just ignored her! Saeyoung knew he was beating himself up over this, but he hated himself for leaving like that. He knew what it was like to be broken. He was staring at her puffy cheeks and her red eyes. Her whole face was flushed from crying all day, and he chose the worst thing to do. Leave. Her shaking voice echoed in his head, like a constant loop that begged to be heard.

"I've been spending so much time helping all of you guys in the RFA! And all I get in return is this?! I work so hard to keep this RFA together, and you think it's easy for me?! You think it's easy to see you broken and have to tell everyone else what's happening?! You're just as selfish as you were when you were pushing me away."

She had been hurting. Why didnt he help her like she helped him? He hadn't even realized he was still pacing back and forth outside the apartment. That's when he made up his mind. He was going to help her. No matter what the cost, he was gonna save his princess.
