Area POV. the next day

Today I am still thinking about Chan and his strange behavior. I'm worried, what if something bad happened? I have to write to Minho directly. I take out my phone and sit on the bed.

Area

Hey, awake already?

Minhooo

Yes

What's up? :)

Area

Just wanted to ask if you've talked to Chan yet.

Minhooo

Yes, I have, he is fine

He just misses his family

Area

Why doesn't he tell me this? :((

Minhooo

He wanted to play the strong one in front of you

Area

Man.... I got really worried about him...

such an idiot

He should already know that he doesn't have to pretend with me

Minhooo

Sometimes you just don't want to talk about it

Don't worry

Your thinking wrinkles always look so stupid :P

Area

Idiot...

But thanks for asking him

Minhooo

With pleasure little dancing mouse :))

Area

Stop calling me that

Why did Chan have to show you my dance video

Minhooo

Oh, come on, let me have some fun

It was actually kinda cute

Area

Bye Minho and don't you call me dancing mouse ever again

Minhooo

Okie bye little sweet dancing mouse

Area

...

next time we meet you will be dead.

Minhooo

No Area please don't

I'll stop already

Area?

AREA?!

PLEASE SPARE ME

Hello?

I read the next messages from Minho, but I don't reply. He actually knows that I wont do anything to him, he just wants to create some more drama.

I put my phone on the nightstand and go downstairs. Tae is already waiting for me there.

"Uhh, did you go shopping?"

"Yeah, I was in the mood for a nice breakfast today. But as you know I'm not into cooking, so I bought us something."

"Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

I hug him tightly.

"Area, I can't breathe!"

"Oh, sorry!"

"Ah, I wanted to tell you something else. The boys and I are going back on tour soon and since I promised mom and dad I wouldn't leave you alone, you can come with us, isn't that great?"

I look at him in disbelief. I've always wanted to travel a lot. So, I don't know why I don't go wild. I just sit down at the table and look out the window.

Why can't I be happy? Why does my heart hurt so much right now?

Tea is also confused by my reaction.

"Area are you okay, I thought you would be happy."

I just look at him, straight into his dark eyes.

"I don't know..."

He looks at me questioningly.

"Did something happen?"

I force myself to smile and answer:

"No, everything's fine, I'm just.... surprised."

He raises an eyebrow and looks at me questioningly.

"Area?"

"Don't look at me like that. I was just surprised, that's all."

Before he can plague me with any more questions, I run out of the room, into my room.

I throw myself on the bed and bury my face in one of the many pillows. I should be happy, what is keeping me here and why does my heart hurt so much when I think about leaving?

My phone starts vibrating on the nightstand and I look at the name. Suddenly I am shown the answer. It is immediately clear to me as my heart stops aching and beats faster at the mere sight of the name.

He is my reason not to go. The person I can't leave behind....

...Chan

I just now realize how short my story is... But I think for my first it's not that bad or at least I hope so.
