June stayed silent, giving Minjun as much time to process his thoughts and feelings as possible.

"I guess it started when my dad went back to the States. Then, you had to go, too. I know we don't even see each other as often because you were busy with Rising Stars, but I just felt like we'll see each other even lesser than before," Minjun started off.
"Then, before I even knew it, I started feeling...different," he sighed.
"I used to enjoy being alone since I could play games or even write articles for my page, but all of those just started losing their sparks."
"The silence in my room grew so loud that I just wanted to escape," he said, his voice breaking in the end.
June pursed his lips and looked away from the young teen, feeling a burning sensation in the back of his throat.
