He thought Dokja understood him better than he understood himself. He still thinks that, as much as he dislikes the thought.
Every day, he wonders what's on Dokja's mind... Suspicious of what he may be scheming, if maybe his state of mind is depreciating, if he's stewing in self-loathing when he catches him by his lonesome. When Dokja keeps them at a distance, when he gently pushes them away, Joonghyuk wished he knew why. What could he do?
