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.

EmoBabie

I'm just all over the place rn I'm sorry

MrKnow
Take a breath okay?  You're okay... I may not fully understand or have been through what you're having issues with because I did grow up different... but I do understand pain and hardships..

EmoBabie
My apartment sucks
Like.. it's so shittt and I mean it's not too bad inside I made it kinda nice? But the building is so gross and creepy and everyone who lives here sucks and is terrifying
The neighborhood itself is full of theives and thugs and it's the slums

MrKnow

EmoBabie

I just today I was coming inside and someone grabbed me and it scared me. I didn't know I could feel that scared... and I shoved them back but they slammed the door open in my face and I was so freaked out

MrKnow

EmoBabie
I'm fine but he pushed me Down in my apartment and I just was so scared Hyung... but then someone down the hall yelled something he looked at me with these crazy and glazed eyes.. like he just realized I wasn't whk he thought I was and he got up and left...

EmoBabie
I've been locked in my bathroom ever snce cause I just broke down like it's never been that bad but I'm just being a baby I'm sorry

MrKnow
You're not.  That's terrifying and I'm so fucking glad you're okay.  Are you sure you're okay though?  Do you have anyone you can stay with?  Anyway you can get to a safer apartment?  I know it's hard to think about such big things but.. I worry about you... I don't want you to get hurt or be alone out there

EmoBabie
I.. I can't.. I'm about to graduate college and I have that to pay for. And I work 2 jobs and still barely make rent rn I can't get anything nicer... but thank you I'm sorry I worried yo for nothing

MrKnow

EmoBabie

Minho stared at his phone and he felt his emotions bubbling.  The boy in front of him looked so tired and drained.  He still tried so hard it didn't seem fair to Minho.

MrKnow
Jisung.  Can I have your address?

EmoBabie
What why Hyung it's fine what are you on about

MrKnow
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.

EmoBabie
... it's.. (address)
We can talk about who's staying where when you're here... I guess idk it's late..

MrKnow
I'll be there soon.  Just breathe.
