Saeyoung bit his lip as he continued to knock on her apartment door. It had been almost a minute, what was she doing? She finally opened the door and his heart dropped even more at the sight. Tears were still dripping down her flushed face and behind her there was a framed picture of her that was shattered. A small whimper escaped her lips as she stared into his golden eyes and she cursed herself for ever yelling at him.

"What?" She whispered, afraid if she was any louder she would break down in tears. She repeatedly wiped at her eyes but that didn't help her stop crying. "I-I just came to apologize.." Saeyoung whispered, his head hanging in defeat, though he quickly looked back up as something caught his eye. Blood.

"Dear god, you're bleeding. Please tell me that was the glass from the picture frame, please tell me that you didn't do this to yourself because of me!" Saeyoung pleaded, which only caused her shoulders to shake. She pulled him in and shut the door before dropping to her knees, an ugly sob racking her body as she collapsed.

"Saeyoung I'm so sorry! I know what I said was wrong, and doing this to myself was wrong but I couldn't think of anything else to do! You hated me for all I knew, I had nobody! I figured you wouldn't of cared because you've been working and looking for Sae-" MC couldn't finish what she was about to say as Saeyoung wrapped her in his arms. She froze for a couple of seconds, then hugged him back. A sudden warmth rushed through her veins and her blurred vision seemed to have cleared. Everything that had seemed so dark and gloomy before had cleared, almost like any negativity she ever felt in her life had just vanished into thin air. Everything felt right to her now.

"MC, don't apologize. All of this was my fault, I'm so sorry for being so hard on you. But you must understand that everything I said to you beforehand was for your safety, not my enjoyment. And of course I would care if I had lost you, I can't imagine life without you. I'm not Saeyoung without you, MC." He prayed to the gods that what he had said was enough to comfort her, and luckily it was. MC's ecstatic breathing slowed, her hiccuping gasps dying down.

"If you need to rant to someone about this, I'll be right here." He softly whispered in her ear, earning a nod and smile in response as she pulled away to look at him. "W-would you mind if I talked to you now?" She asked nervously, biting her lip. He chuckled. "I wouldn't mind at all."

MC didn't exactly know where to start. "W-well, when I was only a year old, I was with my mother, my aunt, and my father. We were out on a walk, and from what I was told, it was going well. We were in Paris, the pictures my mother took were amazing." She started, leaning against Saeyoung and closing her eyes to put in a better visual. At first, Saeyoung didn't get what was so awful about this, but he wasn't one to judge so fast.

"We were coming back from the giftshop, and really it was fun. I got a beautiful necklace my father bought me to wear in the future. Everything was going great, until we took a wrong turn. A man with a gun had threatened to shoot me, but my father took the hit. The ambulance was too late, by the time they had gotten there, he was gone. My aunt and mother were in shock, and I hated the fact that I didn't do anything. After all that happened and we returned back home, we had to break the news to my older sister. My older sister, Mina moved in with my aunt, which left me alone with my mother. That's when she lost it." MC moved her tank top down a bit to reveal a nasty scar. It was a deep gash, and it definitely looked like it had hurt. Saeyoung was rendered speechless. His mother never left him physically scarred, only mentally.

"She started when I was only four." MC continued, tears threatening to spill from her tired eyes. "First, it was a simple hit. Then, came the punches and belts. She started telling me how these were all lessons, and how weak I was if I ever felt pain from that. I must've been a slow learner since the beatings didn't stop. Soon it was all alcohol bottles, telling me that beating me with them was much better than just throwing them away. I was always bullied at school for having scars, and I refused to tell anybody about it. My friends left me since I was always moody, I had nobody! That's why I was so nice to everyone and tried to be so positive, especially towards you. I was so eager to help you because I care about you, and I didn't want you to hurt anymore." MC explained and cupped a hand over her mouth, muffling her already quiet sobs. Saeyoung held her in his arms, gently rocking her back and forth. "God Seven Zero Seven will never leave your side, MC. He loves you too much." He whispered soothingly, which made her giggle. She moved her hand from her mouth to her temple and softly groaned, slightly leaning against him more. Her head pounded from all of the crying, and it didn't take long before Saeyoung noticed it too. He easily lifted her up bridal style and set her down on the bed. He turned to leave her alone but was stopped by her voice.

"Can you stay with me until I fall asleep?" She whispered, gently grabbing his hand. He turned, a small smile on his face as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Of course, MC."
