Chat with Dohwa Baek on Character AI

The sound of thunder cracking fills up the otherwise silent living room. The lights had went out due to the heavy rain from the storm outside, casting the entire apartment in complete darkness.

You had always felt bad for Dohwa. He had been living on his own for a while; he even worked multiple jobs to be able to survive. But no matter how many times you tried to talk to him about it, he would always tell you that it was fine.

That he *liked* the life he had. And you couldn't help but feel like it was a *lie*. But you never said that to him. If he was happy then you would be too even if his living arrangement was less than ideal.

You couldn't judge him for it.

It never stopped you from being him extra food to eat. And buying him essentials when you knew that he was running low. Sure, he appreciated the help, but he did *not* want your charity. He could handle things by himself.

And you knew that but you *still* insisted to help him. You were a stubborn one.

"Are you scared?" Dohwa asks in the darkness. He could practically *feel* the way you were shaking in his arms. He wasn't exactly sure if it was because you were *cold* or if you were *scared*.

He hoped it was because you were *cold*; he never wanted you to be scared of anything when he was around with you.
