I finished classes and looked at my phone. I was hoping Kit would have replied to any of my texts but I realised he didn't.

As I was walking to Morning Mama the cafe to get some food, I saw Kit in the cafe with a girl. They were chatting away gleefully and just as I was about to enter the cafe, I saw Kit lean over to kiss the girl. She blushed and they started to chat again. As I watched that scene, my heart kinda broke abit. Actually make it alot. Just then, I felt someone's arms around me. I turned to look and it was Park. He casually placed his arms around me and steered me into the cafe.

"P..."
"Let's get some lunch, shall we? I am starving."
"Erm sure P.."

We went into the cafe, Park ordered something for both of us and we sat near the entrance. Park sat facing Kit whilst I sat opposite him.

"Don't bother about people who don't bother about you. At least now you know the truth."
"P, I have no idea what you are.."
"Even the blind can see how you feel about Kit but the same blind can also see how he feels about you. Isn't it time you stopped hurting yourself over him?"

I kept quiet, knowing Park was right. Just then our food arrived. To give him credit, he didn't talk about it again and we spoke about hazing activities, school in general and gaming. Just then Kit walked past us, holding the girl's hand. Immersed in my conversation with Park, I didn't see him until he called out to me.

"Ming! What are you doing here? Why didn't you say hello?"
"OH Kit, I didn't realize you were here.."
Park cast me a smirk at my fib but didn't say anything.
"OH okay, Hello P'Park. This is Milk by the way guys."
I waiied respectfully to her and bade Kit goodbye. He just smiled at me, abit unsettled by my nonchalant behavior I guess.

I watched him go and let out a breath. Park looked at me but didn't say anything. I felt like he knew something but was preferring to take a back seat and not pester me on it and I was grateful for that. We finished our lunch and we went off. Park offered to give me a ride home. I accepted it gratefully. Once we reached the dorm, I asked Park if he wanted to come over and game. Park agreed and we had a fruitful few hours, gaming and screaming away in joy. Park bought dinner and we had it whilst watching Netflix. It was almost 2am when we finally wanted to wind up for the night. Park was going to leave but I asked him to stay over, as it was late. But he declined and said he would see me at the bar on Saturday. I nodded and opened the door. I saw Park off and I closed my door. I sat down on my bed and finally the tears came down.

I may seem like I was holding it in but the fact was seeing Kit with that girl broke my heart very badly. I was grateful to P Park who kept me occupied but I couldn't forever be relying on him and my other friends for courage. I had to move on as much as I found it hard to but maybe now, just for today, I needed to let it out.

Just then I heard knocks on my door. I was caught off guard, hastily wiped my tears and opened the door. Park stood there.

"P! What are you doing here? Did you forget something?" Park just looked at me, came in and closed the door behind him. He then pulled me into his arms for a hug.

"Don't say anything, just let it out. It's ok. I'm here."

I was stunned by Park. But I really  needed to let it out. My sobs just escaped me involuntarily. Park held me tightly and just caressed my hair. I cried out my feelings for Kit and my failure. Park just held me, not saying a word. We stood like that for a bit until my tears just dried up. I finally pulled away from Park and looked at me, my eyes all red and swollen.

"Sorry P, for troubling you. I didn't mean to.. I just.."

"I said it's ok. You don't have to explain yourself. Really. Some things don't have to be said. I don't have to be in love to know that someone else is."

I just looked at Park who just wiped my remaining tears off. He made me sit on the bed and got me water. I gulped it down whilst he sat next to me. I just leaned on him suddenly when I was done, feeling very emotionally drained. Park just snaked his arm around me and held me tight. We stayed like that till the sun came up, not sleeping, just in that position all the way.

Finally around 6am, I finally pulled away and looked at Park. It had been a long day yesterday. The only good thing was, it was Saturday today so we could take things a little slower. I looked at Park who smiled at me and said he will be making a move. This time, as he stood up, I grabbed onto his wrist.

"Please just stay here and sleep for a while P. Please. You must be so tired."
This time, Park didn't fight me. He shed off his top and crawled into bed. I stood up, wanting to get a shower and make coffee but Park beckoned me over. I went over and he pulled me into bed too.

"Just sleep for a while too. We can go get lunch later before meeting the boys." I nodded my head gratefully and we dozed off, for some reason, the distance forgotten between us as Park held onto my hands whilst we slept. I woke up around 4pm, disoriented. I sat up, bleary-eyed. I looked around and didn't see Park around. I looked at my desk and there was a note on it.

"I left around 2pm. I'm gonna shower. I will call you around 5pm ok? Let's grab dinner before the bar."

I texted Park to let him know I was awake and got ready. Around 5pm, I went down and he was waiting by his bike. I waiied respectfully at him and we went off for dinner. I treated him as a form of thanks. We made our way to the bar, where I saw the boys including Kit. I didn't know whether I had the courage to go in. Just then, Park grabbed my hand and pulled me in. He held my hands firmly the whole time and we reached the table. I saw Kit's eyes raise at this but he didn't say anything. The other boys teased us and I blushed furiously unsure on how to respond. Park almost threw his phone at the boys.

"This fellow almost bailed on us which is why I had to drag him in. Stop being annoying you idiots." I heard Park retort. I didn't say anything, just embarrassed for feeling shy about it when Park was so casual. He let go of my hands and we sat down. It was a good evening throughout but I also realized that Park kept an eye on me the whole night and he ensured I was fine the whole time. I was very grateful for his attention and care and told myself that I had to pick myself up, at least for this man's efforts.
