Jangmi stayed in her room, lights off, the lamp is the only thing on. She stood up from her bed, walking to her closet.

She grabbed the razor from the shelf and sit down on the floor. She pulled up her sleeve and noticed her skin slowly becoming paler.

She once again let it go through her skin. She then starts hearing her parents fighting. She closed her eyes and made more.  Her tears falling down her cheeks to the drips of blood on the floor.

Her phone then vibrated and she grabbed it from the table with shaking hands.

INJUNIE
JM? Are you okay? Have you eaten?

Yes but no, I'm not okay

INJUNIE

INJUNIE
Is your parents fighting again? Are you cutting yourself again?

Yes...

Look, I'm sorry, I try to stop but I couldn't

I've just been cutting for too long to not stop

INJUNIE

INJUNIE
JM, you still need to stop, force yourself to stop

INJUNIE

INJUNIE

Jangmi told her parents and fortunately, they let her go there. Jangmi isn't ready to tell Renjun yet but after all their talks, she knew she can trust him.

Even if she feels scared to trust another person. She wrap her scarf around her neck, trying to feel warm. She saw a familiar figure, running towards the park.

He looked around and his eyes landed at Jangmi. He smiled and walked towards her.

"Are you JM?" He asked, tilting his head then Jangmi nodded, a little red. Renjun smiled and hugged her.

"Sorry if I took a little bit longer. I went to the pharmacy to get somethings.." Renjun sits beside her and grabbed her arm, pulling her sleeve.

He can tell new and old ones.

"JM, sweetie, why are you doing this to yourself?" Renjun said, cleaning it with the stuff he bought earlier. He wrapped it with bandage again and checked her other arm.

"Are you cutting somewhere else than your arms?" Renjun asked, directly looking at her eyes. Jangmi pointed at her legs then Renjun sighed.

"You know, JM.. or Jangmi. I don't know how or when you got this depression but I really care for you. I don't want you to do this to yourself.

It's okay to be depressed, I can help you with it, no matter how hard it is but cutting yourself this much.. it pains me. I don't want you to die.

Look, you're getting paler every time you cut even more.." Renjun caressed her cheeks and Jangmi starts crying once again.

Renjun hugged her. He then caressed her hair, kissing her forehead.

"I'm scared to trust you, Renjun.. even, if I want to. I just don't know if I can trust anyone anymore. I just fake my attitude so. I can have people to talk to, not real friends." Jangmi said, gripping on his shirt then Renjun pulled her closer to him.

"It's okay if you don't trust me.. I just want you to be okay, Jangmi."
