Wooyun felt like a dam on the verge of breaking. He had no words, but he felt like staying silent now would be wrong. He took in a breath, his heart racing a mile a minute. "What happened to you wasn't your fault, master. You all agreed, you all put your trust in each other just as you put your lives on the line," he started to say.
"Your trust, your words, they weren't for nothing. My mother always used to say: It's hard to feel betrayed by someone you didn't think you could count on in the first place…. But it's easy to lash out at the person you know will forgive you. That's what it means to trust. Be sure that no matter what happens, you know that person will have your back. No matter what."
Wooyun paused, reaching out to grab his master's hand. They felt cold to the touch. "I'm sorry that Yeonghyeon wasn't that person for you. But you can trust and believe that I…I can be that person for you. If you let me."
