Seven?

Chapter 7: I think you're suffering from a lack of vitamin me!

Fast forward to Thursday - which is exactly two days after "that incident" has happened, I was caught up by Matthew while I was on my scavenge for Haruto.

For the past two days, I haven't even spoken a word to him. Forget that, I've been even arriving early and aiming for the first bench so that I can avoid sitting next to him, and someone else comes. Luckily, there's another seatmate for the past two days- who's name is Terazono Keita. He seems mediocre - based on how he behaves. His minuscule height makes him cute though ; like I can get it why he has to sit at the first bench everyday. No wonder.

Oh yes, and a big con, Matthew actually sits next to Hao. So I wonder what even goes on between them? How are they even able to maintain conversations? Do they have mini hang outs?  I mean, they do look like they get along although.

Wait, Hao hyung must've sat next to him because he wanted me to stay away from him. Smart. Would do anything for a new friend.

Reality snapped back when Matthew asked me, "Are you avoiding me?" He was pouty, along with a frown face.

I shook my head. "Doesn't seem so. You don't sit next to me anymore." He shoots up a pout once again. Aww, he's so adorably cute. This suddenly caused me to pat his head simultaneously and tell him what was bothering.

"Fine! I'm just so embarrassed how I told you about my love life. Now that your best friend said that I'm his ex, I feel like the bad guy ; so I was wondering whether you'd hate m-" i was 'bout to finish my reasoning until he held both my hands ;and interrupted me by saying, "I'd never hate you for such a silly thing. Stop overthinking jeez."

My hands were literally shivering,along with my legs palpitating like a leg massage vibrator. I'd never have someone - I barely know, randomly hold my hand and reassure me. I had rushes gush through, inside my body. I let a gulp glide my throat as if it was a person - sweeping itself at the water park slide.

Wait, I noticed something wet and free flowing on my hands. It was dark red, and smelled like- blood! I turned Matthew's hands to spot a boomerang-like cut, bleeding in every deviation. I then did an eye contact with him, and then nodded at him. "No excuses now, just trust me and come along with me."

I removed my blue sweater and tied it on my waist. His bleeding hands were laid on my shoulder as he jumped on me with his waist held by my hands. I didn't mind all the blood going on my T-shirt, it was black anyways so no one would find it out. I carried him in a piggyback, took him through the elevator, and went back to the twenty fourth floor, to take him to my dorm room.

After I reached home, I threw him on my soft, bouncy and cushiony sofa. I ran towards my room, where the first aid kid was located at. It was a faded red box with a white plus sign embarked on it. As soon as I opened it, I quickly covered his hand with a bed of cotton. A treatment cream was spread throughout the scar. Finally, I painstakingly wrapped the medical tape around the cotton. His hand was ready to go.

He seemed too quiet throughout. Did I silence him with my action? I mean, his hand was bleeding and the nurse here isn't helpful at all!

I knew I had to break the silence anyhow, so I started the conversation by telling him, "I thought you'd get weirded out by me having a huge crush on your friend."

He shook his head. "I would never! I mean, you have your own reason why you're in love with him. I don't know why you both broke up, but maybe you need to try moving on." - he reasoned. Yeah right, I should move on ;but I've been trying this since the past few months.

"Oh and also! Thank you for treating my hand. Basically, the drinking glass fell and I had to clean it. Hence my hands started to bleed with all the mess I made. I'm sorry if I troubled you again." He continued our conversation and then bowed down below.

"No! Consider it as a making up for my avoidance towards you. Im sorry. I was quite uncomfortable with things, but the way Hao said you didn't know who I liked, I can trust you with the bare minimum things." I looked away from him, trying not to blush. Of course, i was ashamed as hell. This guy has manners.

He shook his head in denial. "No bro. I understand how you feel. I guess you're not very communicative. Also, about not spilling the tea to Zhang Hao, that's the basic knowledge of earning someone's trust." He replied to what i said. Aah, so reassuring.

"Still, thank you so much." I also started bowing ninety degrees at him. He kept his hand upright and shoved it towards my face, to stop me from thanking him.

"Matthew, I wish there were more people like you."

After I said that to him, he got a little bit flushed, so he said a quick 'thank you' with a lot of hesitation and then he went away, biding me a goodbye.

If an angel was a person, I'd definitely say Matthew. He has all the qualities of one.
