"........."

"Zen..."

"That's the nickname I gave you..."

"But, I don't even call you that anymore..."

"I'm sorry..."

"..."

"I still remember why I gave you that name..."

"It's because..."

"You always made me feel at peace..."

"Every time I would hang out with you, or even think of you..."

"I felt all of my worries wash away..."

"Especially that day..."

"I was in a lot of pain..."

"I had burned myself trying to make that ramen, to impress you..."

"I tried to hide my pain..."

"But you found out about it still..."

"I told you that I was fine..."

"It's not because I didn't want your help though..."

"As a shinobi, I felt like I didn't need help from others..."

"And that I should handle things myself..."

"But..."

"You didn't take no for an answer, and helped me..."

"At the young age, you knew exactly what to do..."

"And I felt so much better afterwards..."

"Thank you so much hyung..."

"For caring about me so much..."

"..."

"......"

"Yah..."

"I thought you never took no for an answer..."

"How are you able to contradict that so easily now...??"

"Don't let Xinyi do this hyung..."

"You're not alone in this..."

"We're all still here with you..."

"Don't let him lie to you, and tell you that you have no one..."

"You can fix this hyung..."

"You can help him..."

"Just like how you helped me..."

"So please..."

"......"

"........."

"Zen Zen..."
