You feel your blood boiling, your hands trembling and your teeth grinding against each other as you watch your cousin Donghae come out of your room with a sheepish look on his face. “Sorry,” was all he said as he quickly scrambled out of your reach. Just as well. You were going to grab him by the collar and shake him till all his teeth fell out, then crush him into a million pieces. However, you knew you had to control yourself. Hands still trembling, you shake your head furiously as you walk into your room and approach your LG computer. You pushed the On button. The computer gave no response. You sighed.

Donghae had done it again. Broken your things. First your PSP, now this. What did your electronic stuff ever do to Donghae to get such treatment? Now you had to send them to the repair shop again. You groaned. It took a lot of your energy to stop from going up to Donghae and do to him what he did to your things.

Suddenly you felt warm arm wrap around your body. You sighed. Helf in relief and half in irritation. All you wanted right now was to be left alone to grieve for your “loss”, but at the same time you felt grateful that there was someone who could understand you.

Namely, Zhoumi.

“It’s ok, Kuixian.” Hearing your Chinese name fall from his lips made whatever anger you had evaporate. You sighed again, but this time in comfort at the presence behind you. You nodded in reply, and felt glad that you could choose such an understanding best friend.

He always came at the right time.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

You didn’t expect your first crush to reject you like that.

You approached Seohyun, with a bouquet of flowers held cautiously behind your back. Zhoumi was following you, but from a distance, because you told him you would feel very embarrassed if you went by yourself. So he followed you outside of school, and stood behind the gates as you went up to Seohyun, who was waiting for her driver to come fetch her.

“Seohyun,” you called out, meekly at first, but she didn’t hear you, so you mustered up the courage to call your name louder.

“Yes, Kyuhyun?” The innocent smile she used to greet everyone she met melted your heart. You were sure she was the right one for you.

“I.. umm..” You couldn’t bring yourself to confess to her. You felt a blush slowly spread across your face, and heard her speak up again.

“What is it? Do you have something to tell me?” She tried to look behind your back to see what you were holding, but you brought it out anyway and presented the bouquet to her.

“I.. Seohyun, I like you.” You looked up at her slowly. “Will you go out with me?” You saw her tense up, and you felt something wrong. You expected it coming.

“I like you too, Kyuhyun.” She smiled. “But I already chose Sungmin. I’m sorry.” Just then her driver came and she rushed into the car and it drove off before you could catch a last glimpse of her.

It was a kind rejection, but a rejection anyway. You felt your heart break into a million pieces on the ground, and wondered if you could ever glue them back together and become whole again.

You didn’t have to. Zhoumi picked up the pieces and returned your whole heart back again. He held your head and rested it against his shoulder, where you felt your tears flowing out.

“Don’t worry, Kuixian. It would happen to you one day, but just know that I’ll always be by your side. That’s what friends are for.”

Touched by his words, you sobbed even harder, dropping the bouquet on the ground and wrapping your arms around Zhoumi for support instead. You felt arms going around you too.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next 2 weeks were bad for you.

You failed 3 out of 5 of your tests, and upset your boss at the cafe you worked part-time at during the holidays.

“You are fired, young man. Fired!”

“You can’t fire me! I quit!!” You flung your apron and cap onto the floor before stomping out of the cafe, fuming. You wished you could punch the faces of the people who were mumbling about you now.

Reaching your home, you went into your room and slammed the door shut, falling onto the bed, and abusing your pillows like it was the last thing you’d ever do.

When you calmed down, the first person you thought of was Zhoumi. You piced up the phone with shaking hands and dialed his number. You didn’t care if he was on a holiday, while you were working to save for college, you had to speak to him hear his voice. After all, he was your best friend.

“Kuixian?”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, your alarm clock rang at 7:00am. You growled and reached out to stop it, but someone had stopped it before you did. Still sleepy, you looked up at the figure standing in front of you.

“Zhoumi?!?!?!” Any sleepiness you had left disappeared immediately. You were shocked, but extremely elated at the same time. You rushed to sit up, and knocked your head painfully against something hard. You realized that you feel asleep while crying and left the phone on the bed. Strong, slender arms stabled you and soon you were calm enough and settled in a sitting position.

“Kuixian, I got your call last night and I sort of guessed that you needed me around so I flew back last night.” Zhoumi shrugged and smiled down at you. He was right. Sooo right. You leaned forward and captured him in a hug.

“But what about your parents you were visiting in China?”

“I just told them something happened in school and I had to rush back. It was no biggie. The fact you’re alright is all that matters to me.”

“Oh, Zhoumi..” You smiled into his shoulder, thinking once again, I’m glad to have a friend like you.
