392 Reunion [1]

They say that saying sorry was hard, but it was only now that I realized that asking for help was just as hard or perhaps even harder than apologizing.

"Pl…ease help me."

Uttering those words, it felt as though I used up all of the strength inside of my body. 

I felt completely drained of energy.

Almost as though I had sprinted a full marathon. Uneasiness swept my body, and my heart beat faster. 

Yet, despite feeling this way, the feeling I got after the initial lethargic sensation wasn't all too bad. 

I felt this sense of relief wash over my body.

As though a heavy boulder had been lifted off of my shoulder, finally allowing me to stand up straight again. I couldn't quite explain it in words, but it just felt liberating. 

"Haaa…"

I deeply exhaled. 

"It's okay."

It was then that Kevin finally spoke. 

Taking a step forward, with his hand on my shoulder, he looked at the moon in the sky.
