"Kyungsoo! Waeyo? Why did you tell her?" Emeri screamed at me, pulling her hair in frustration. I look down, feeling guilty of what I've done. Have I did the right thing? My mind says no, but my heart says yes.

"Emeri, I-"

"I don't want to hear your explanation, Kyungsoo. Chanyeol, let's go." Emeri was about to leave when I manage to speak.

"So what if I told her, Emeri? Haven't I did the right thing? She was already hurting and yet you had the guts to hide it from her? Aren't you feeling guilty that you, her best friend, was part of this plan, too?" I heard the others gasped. I didn't look up to see what her reaction was, because I was too scared.

"Take back what you said, Kyungsoo!" Emeri was about to go forward me, but Chanyeol stopped her.

"What will I take back, Emeri Kate? I'm telling them the truth. Are you afraid they might turn their backs to you, when they realize you backstabbed Suji?" I look up, smirking.

"I'm not going to let you boss me around anymore, Emeri." Chanyeol's eyes widen, as he lets go of Emeri's hands.

"Yes. I did that, so what? I didn't like Sehun for my best friend. I did the right thing, I'm keeping her from getting hurt!"

"What you're doing is hurting her!" Baekhyun butted in as Jia held him back.

"I-I-" Emeri broke down to tears, as Chanyeol held her hand and dragged her away from the scene, I sighed.

"K-Kyungsoo." Jia was about to continue his sentence, but I stopped her.

"Stop, Jia. I'm going h-home." I replied, leaving them behind, and I did not even said goodbye.

"Suji-ah....it's me. Let me in." I knocked on the door, but all I can hear is her sob. I sighed.

"How long is she crying in there?" I asked the ahjumma, who was taking care of the house.

"It's been 2hours since she arrived." I nodded, as she excused herself. I turn to the door.

"Suji...please let me in. Let's talk." Still no answer. I was about to give up when the door clicked, she finally unlocked it.

I slowly opened the door, not making any sound, entered - closing the door behind me.

I sit on the bed, where she's bundled up like a sushi. Tissues are on the side table, and I still hear her sob. I tap her back.

"You did open the door, but why are you not talking to me?" She groans and kicks me out of the bed. But, I'm strong enough. *laughs*

"Kyungsoo, why does life makes me miserable." She cries again, curling up into a fetus. My hands went to find her hands and rubbed it.

"No, no. Your life isn't miserable, because I'm still here who can make you happy." I smiled, as she sits up and pouts at me. She's freakin' cute, and what am I saying.

"Bleh." She stuck out her tongue and hugged me. My eyes widen, as my heart was beating fast. Then, my arms crawled on her back, comforting her.

"Thank you, Kyung." She murmured, breaking our hug. She freeze, as she groan in pain and touch her head.

"A-are you okay?" I pat her back as she shook her head no.

"I-I'm okay. I've just been having headaches lately...but I'm okay." I nodded, but still not satisfied.

"You could've atleast visit a doctor." She shook her head again.

"Nah, this is just because of stress." I just hummed for an answer, as I tuck her up to sleep.

"I don't even know what to do....or say." She sighed under the covers, turning and looking up to me.

"I want to leave." She said, sitting up. I raise an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"I want to continue my studies in America.."

"Suzy, you can't do that! What about your career here in Korea? Your friends?" I exclaimed, and especially me. I don't want her to leave me.

"You're right...I can't just leave my friends here.. oh, I know! You come with me, too!" I widen my eyes at her suggestion.

"Me?" I asked.

"Yes, you. You're the only friend I have, because all of them betrayed the fuck out of me." She said, rolling her eyes and biting her lower lip, which made my heart beat fast.

"They did, but aren't you going to miss them?" I reasoned out. It just that - I don't want to come with her, it's not like I am turning my back on her, too but...I have my personal reasons.

"You know what? Fine, then don't come with me. It's just that simple." She said, as her phone rings. She immediately open the message, and groans.

"It's not that...visit Sehun tomorrow and I'll come with you to wherever you'll go." I suggested, which made her stare at me.

"WHAT?" Suji shouted, hitting me with a pillow. I shush her mouth.

"If you, coming with me to America, is worth that condition. It's a no-no." She looks down.

"But-"

"No buts! I am not visiting any assholes in my life. NO." She said coldly, shutting me off.

"Bae Suji!" I tap her back, but she ignores me.

"As with tumors elsewhere in the body, the exact cause of most brain tumors is unknown. The following factors have been proposed as possible risk factors for primary brain tumors, but whether these factors actually increase an individual's risk of a brain tumor is not known for sure."

I shake the thought off, as I sighed.

-

"But I don't want to!" Suzy complained, as we were in front of Sehun's room. I literally dragged her here. I want them to talk, because I've seen most of my friends breaking up just by a misunderstanding.

"If you want me to talk to him - no! What if his girlfriend is inside?" She whispers, as I shake my head and continue to push her inside the room.

"Look, you are his girlfriend. You have the right to visit him at least." She stops, blinking, as I stop pushing her, too.

"W-what if....my rights are gone a-and-" She wasn't able to continue her sentence because her tears started falling. I sighed, cupping her cheeks and look into her eyes.

"You still have the right...see you're crying again.." I wiped her tears with my thumb as I let go of her cheeks.

"Why does life have to me so hard." She straightens up, and finally gave in. We slowly went inside, it's as quite as a library, and all we can hear is the beeping monitor. Look at this asshole, it's already 1 in the morning, he's still sleeping.

I opened the curtains.

"Kyungsoo, what are you doing? Can't you see he's still sleeping?" Suzy shouted quietly, as I laugh.

"See, you still care for him." I fake a smile, as someone knocked and opened the door, revealing Baekhyun. He says hi as soon as he sees me.

"What are you doing here?" Baekhyun whispered.

"Oh, hi Baek." Suzy greeted, as Baekhyun nods for an answer. He looks at me again, waiting for my answer.

"Visiting this asshole, of course." They quiet down as soon as they saw Sehun moved, but I'm the type of guy who wakes everyone up.

"Good morning, you asshole. It's already quarter to one! You've already slept half of your day." I shouted, smirking.
