The ringing of her phone wakes Yadira up. It was way past 12a.m. and she had to wake up again in a few hours for school.
Looking at the caller ID, she sighed seeing that it was just Taeil. "Thanks for waking me up" she jokes.
The line goes quiet with only the sound of light sniffles being heard. Panicking Yadira stands up from the bed. "Taeil what's wrong!" She asks.
"C-come outside please" he says and it doesn't even take a second for her to think before she rushes out of her room and downstairs towards the front door.
She opens the door to see Taeil sitting at the doorstep, eyes red and filled with tears, shivering because of the cold outside. "Taeil..." She says softly and he slowly looks up making eye contact with her.
Quickly getting onto his feet, he hugs her while crying onto her shoulder. She knew it would be about his parents. But he never cries, and that worried her the most.
"Come inside" she says still holding onto Taeil. Leading him upto her room she clears her bed abit giving space for Taeil to sit. "I'll be back" she says before rushing back down to get a glass of water.
"Here drink some" Yadira says holding the glass in front of him. He takes it slowly, his hands slightly shaking as he chugs down the water. It did break her heart to see her bestfriend like this.
He leaves the glass on the table next to him and Yadira immediately pulls him into a hug. "I-it's my fault" he says, hugging her back.
"It's my fault they're fighting with each other" he says crying. "It's not your fault at all Taeil" Yadira says, slightly patting his back.
She was on the verge of breaking down too, but she knew she was the only one who Taeil would open up to and she had to stay strong for that.
"I tried to make them proud. But they just hate me. They told me not to come back home and just threw me out" he continues to cry. It was just anger and sadness that Yadira felt.
'How could anyone do that to their own son' she thought. "Taeil... Don't think about any of that. You have me, junnie and mom and dad now alright. We'll figure things out" she says still clinging onto her bestfriend.
He was broken and she could clearly tell. The fact he would turn up to school with little bruises all over his body cause of abuse was when she knew something wasn't right. 'I was dumb to keep quiet back then' she thought.
"I'm sorry" she says with a tear slipping down her cheek. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you before" she says and Taeil slowly lets go giving her a questioning look.
She gently runs her hands over the scrapes and bruises along his arm and he sighs. "It's okay Yadira. I should have just stayed out of their arguments" he says.
"Okay. Why don't you sleep for now" she says. Taeil slowly lies down holding onto her hand. "We're here for you" she comforts him as he slowly falls asleep on her bed. Pulling the blanket over him and wiping off the tears on his face, she walks out of the room.
"Hey... Wake up idiot" Yadira groans as her brother, Xiaojun continues to hit her with a pillow. "Why are you sleeping here when you have a room?" He asks, seeing that she finally woke up.
"Taeil's asleep in my room" she says rubbing her eyes. "Oh.." he replies. She stands up to go check up on Taeil, only to see him still fast asleep while cuddling onto the pillows.
She chuckles before heading towards her parents room. Knocking on their door she waits for a reply. "Come in" she hears and she does as said.
"Oh sweetie. Good morning" her mother greets. "good morning" she says. "Uh... So Taeil came here last night." She starts and continues to tell everything that happened last night.
"Oh my!! Is he alright? And yes, He can stay here for as long as he likes" her mother says. "He... I don't know if he's alright" she says, sorrow coating her voice.
"Yadira it's alright. Don't worry about it. He'll be fine now that he's here with us. okay?" Her father says and she nods.
"Also, you kids go with Xiaojun and get some of his clothes and all he needs. It's fine if you take a break from school today. Just see to all his needs alright?" Her mother says.
"Okay. Thanks mom" Yadira replies, going back out of the room. "Yadira!" She turns around to see her bestfriend. "Good morning Taeil" she greets with a smile and walks towards him.
"Good morning. Am I bothering you guys?" He asks. Yadira chuckles "of course not" she says messing with his hair. "Thank you" he says pulling Yadira into a hug and she wraps her arms around him, hugging him back.
"Gross..." They let go of each other and turn around to face Xiaojun, who was giving them a disgusted look. Yadira chases after her brother while Taeil laughs at the siblings. "I was only joking" Xiaojun screams.
I don't know where this is going😂😭
