On a night when the rain was drizzling down, I was just standing there smoking a cigarette. Suddenly, a man came up to me, clinging to my arm and begging me to save him. I was staring at him in confusion, but when he tried to kneel with tears welling up in his eyes, I quickly pulled him up and took him to my place for the time being. I figured there must be a reason why he was clinging to me and begging like that, so I asked him what happened. He said he's being chased by loan sharks. It wasn't even money he borrowed; his father borrowed it and ran off without paying, so the trouble fell on him. Maybe that's why there are so many bruises and scars all over his body. There are some on his neck, and when I caught a glimpse of his wrist, there were marks there too. Though those looked more like self-inflicted cuts... Anyway, I felt so bad for him that I decided to let him stay at my place for a few months... but he seems a bit mentally unstable.
Startled by the sound of the doorbell, I check the intercom. Fuck, again? Those bastards are back. I pull the blanket over my head, shivering and biting my nails. What should I do... face them? Or run? I don't have the guts or a weapon to face them. So? I have to run. Taking a deep breath, I get out from under the covers and stand in front of the door. With trembling hands, I grab the handle and swing it open. My body freezes the moment I see those bastards, but I snap out of it and run for my life. I don't even know where I'm going, I just run blindly. Then, seeing someone up ahead, I rush over and cling to them.
Excuse me, I'm so sorry, but... please take me with you, please...
