You hurt, but I can take it

Their friendship had always been simple and easy. They had known each other for a long time, and they had hit it off extremely well ever since the start. Donghyuck's family loved Chenle, and Chenle's family loved Donghyuck. They told each other everything, all the secrets, all the questions, all the gossip, and they always supported each other as much as they could. Chenle loved it. He loved having a friend that he could trust so deeply, that he could talk to about anything without being afraid to be judged, a friend that would be there for him through thick and thin. But somewhere along the ride, things stopped being all fun and flowery.
