D.O Part 1

The calm, peaceful melody was played on the piano. Fingers pressed lightly on the keys, slowly but gracefully. Humming along to the song, with his voice, rapping along which suits the song. How I always secretly wish the day never ends.

"Hey Kai, we're going home together after this right?" I asked hopefully since it's been some times that we both went home together.

"Sorry Shin Hye but I'm going home with Minnie today" I was so so deeply disappointed. Ever since that girl named Min transferred to our school, Kai was so head over heels for her and soon our friendship starts to distant.

I was always close with Kai since the age of 13 like my life depended on his. Wherever he goes, I'll always be by his side. He was the one who always makes my life livelier because I'm an only child and my parents are constantly overseas. Slowly, my feelings grew deeper. For 7 years, 7 years I tried to bury that feeling deep in my heart but I just can't. Every time I constantly remind myself to move on and push aside all feelings but they just seemed to resurface back making me fall in love all over again.

"Yah Shin Hye are you there?" Kai shook my shoulders lightly. 

"Yeah I am" I replied with a smile even though I clearly knew it was fake. Not that I hate Min but maybe I was just being selfish. Kai deserves to love someone else.

"So, that concludes the end of our practice! I'll see you, umm, on Saturday at your place! Do you need me to ask Kyungsoo to send you home?"

"Nope, I can manage myself. Thanks" I smiled at him wistfully. I'm tired of hearing those 'Do you need me to ask Kyungsoo to send you home?'. I want to go home with Kai, just like the old times.

I sat on the piano chair silently, watching him grabbing his bag and sprinting out of the music room. I sighed silently. I close back the cover of piano and took my bag, not forgetting to plug the earpiece to my ear. 'Sorry seems to be the hardest words by Elton John' was played. That song somehow relates me. I walked out of the music room and passed by the corridors to get out of the building. I saw Kai with Min already at the gate of the school. Kai smiling ever so widely with the gleam in his eyes like how he used to smile at me. 'What can I do to make things go back to the way they are?' I thought.

I was walking out of the school doors when my left earpiece was taken out.

"Kyungsoo..."

"It was my own will to send you home. Elton John again?"

"Yeah the usual." As usual I was actually expecting Kyungsoo to be here. Kyungsoo would always be around me to replace Kai. He is always there during break time or after school. I knew he has feelings for me but it's hard. It's just isn't the same to return it, after all, the feelings I have for Kai. I have tried but I really can't. Kyungsoo even knows me so well, even better than Kai, like as if we've been friends from young but in reality we've know each other for about since the age of 17.

  The both of us walked home and past by the ice-cream parlor that Kai and I used to come all the time. Through the transparent glass I can see that Kai and Min were inside, sitting at the usual place. I bit my inner mouth to prevent tears from falling. I'm used to this, I'm used to this I reminded myself. I wanted to snap out of it and walk away but my body wouldn't listen.

"There, there heart breaker let's go" Kyungsoo said as he grabbed my wrist and walked away from the ice cream parlor. 'What did I ever do to deserve someone like Kyungsoo?' I thought.

"Let's just say I wanted to be your angel." He replied, as if he just read my mind.

We almost passed the playground that is located in front of my house when Kyungsoo stopped in his tracks. His hands were spread out welcoming me into his open arms.
