It was late and although Minho was one to stay up late he actually went to bed at a decent time for once. He was sleeping peacefully but he started to wake up when he felt his phone vibrating repeatedly. It was under his pillow and he sighed before grabbing it.

I understand you probably won't want to come to my place, you might feel scared going with someone from the internet... but can I at least come over so you're not alone if no one else can. I don't want you alone there, not tonight at least.Minho didn't know what he was doing, he could feel his parents scolding him but he couldn't stop himself. This boy needed him and he needed him to be okay.
