"Are you sure your really okay?" Kyungsoo worried about his best friend. After his mom died, Jongin has been depressed lately. He hasn't had an real conversation with him in weeks, only polite "Hellos" and "Goodbyes" and maybe even an "How are you?" sometimes. But he always replies with the same thing,ー"I'm fine" says Jongin.
Kyungsoo signed. He didn't know how much of this he could take, the Jongin he knew would always say his feelings or what's on his mind even if they weren't the nicest things to say.
"Alright" Kyungsoo said, "Do you want me to walk with you home?"
"No I'm fine"
Agh those two words, "I'm fine" made Kyungsoo feel angry, but he couldn't get mad at Jongin. The last time he was mad at Jongin was so long ago probably when they were still children.
This went on for days, but each time Kyungsoo held in his anger because he couldn't say anything to hurt his best friends feelings.
On Tuesday at lunch time, Kyungsoo finally had it. He was tired of Jongin saying those two words over and over again like a broken record.
"Can't you say anything else for once?!" Kyungsoo shouted loudly. Jongin looked up at Kyungsoo for awhile and Kyungsoo just stared back. Jongin kept his eyes on Kyungsoo and said slowly, "Maybe I just want to be alone sometimes..."
Kyungsoo swallowed, Jongin never said that to him. He always was next to Kyungsoo even when they were kids. It was like they were joined together and was one.
"A-alright then" retorted Kyungsoo and walked away.
