Friends Forever? // lee seokmin/ kim mingyu (#18)

I felt a hand on my face, the hand covering my nose. Trying to breathe normally again, I yanked the hand away and got up.

Why is there a hand?? Aren't I the only one in the dorms??

There is another person, Lee SeokMin. The drunkard that I brought into the female dorms last night.

I got up from the bed immediately after I realized the situation that I was in.

Why is he in my bed?? I thought that I have placed him nicely in SiAh's bed, why is he laying next to me??

I took a can drink from the fridge, those chilled ones and placed it against his cheeks. That should wake him up.

"Ah, that's cold!!" I heard him exclaim and slowly opened his eyes.

"DaYeong?? Why are you in my room??"

"That is what I should be asking you, you are sleeping in my bed."

"Your bed??" He looked at the bedsheets and gasped jumping out of bed and standing next to me. "Why am I here??"

"You were drunk and were lying down near the door of the room so I brought you in to avoid the patrolling team from finding out about you and kicking the both of us out." I summarized the main points to him who is scratching his head. "Do you know how nerve-wracking that is??"

"What did you even do to be that drunk?? I'm sure that you didn't drink at home, where were you drinking??"

"At the club. I broke up with AeHee." He was looking at the floor and tears were forming in his eyes.

He broke up with that bitch?? That is the best thing that can happen to me. This means that he is single and my chances will increase.

He began sobbing hard. "I broke up with her, why did I even do that for?? Why did she agree to it??" He hit his chest and I sat down next to him, trying to think of ideas to comfort him but I didn't know how.

How the hell do I even comfort someone that just broke up with his girlfriend??

"DaYeong-ah, what should I do?? Should I say that I'm sorry??"

No, don't ever say that. You are making a huge mistake by making her return back into your life.

He pulled me back into his embrace and he sobbed on my shoulder. I was totally taken aback by this.

What do I do about this?? Hug him back??

"DaYeong-ah, why am I such an idiot?? I am so stupid."

My fisted hand slowly loosened and patted his back. "She is just a woman that you decide to let go of, I'm sure that there are other girls that are better than her and would treat you better."

"Really??"

"Of course there are. You just never realized it."

He stopped crying and looked straight into my eyes.

"Really?? You are saying that I should forget about her entirely and start afresh??"

I nodded, a tear escaped from my eye as well.

This poor boy...

He hugged me again. "Thanks a lot, Jin DaYeong... You were indeed my best friend."

And I know for certain that the next girl that he dates will never be me for one very simple reason. I am just his female friend and I always be.

He will never like me and it will be the same forever.

We will be friends forever.

I spotted that nerd walking towards the administration office in the afternoon when I got back from lunch.

"Do you remember how that girl looked like last night?? I'm definitely going to get her number if I happen to see her today." Wonwoo said smirking.

This guy is getting girls again after what happened last week that landed him in hospital. The previous girl that he went out with caused him to have the food poisoning so he didn't see her again.

I watched Jin DaYeong walking into the administration office with a heavy heart and decided to follow her.

I heard that Lee SeokMin just broke up with his girlfriend and is now single. That stupid nerd would definitely want to try to make him fall in love with her which I think that it is impossible.

He will never fall for her and I don't want her to get hurt. I don't like seeing girls confessing to some guy that they like and then get brutally rejected by them.

"Hyung, I'll see you later. I've got something to do this instant." I caught up with her and she was in the administration office writing something in a clipboard.

"What are you doing??" I asked and she looked up, looking surprised that I was here.

"Does it concerns you??" She looked back at the form clipped to the clipboard. It is a form of temporary absence from school.

Where is she going taking that form?? Don't tell me that she is going to do that...

"Can you get the same form as hers??" I asked the receptionist and she handed it to me with a pen.

"Write down your particulars and the reason why you are leaving. It has to be specific." She told me.

I sat down next to Jin DaYeong and snatched her clipboard to have a look.
"What do you think that you are doing??"

"Can't I travel with you as well?? It could be a buddy trip with Seokminnie."

I looked at her copy of the form.

Name: 진다영 (Jin DaYeong)
Age: 20
Course: Out of Course
Reason for absence: Going back to hometown.
Duration of absence: 2 weeks

And then Lee SeokMin's.

Name: 이석민 (Lee SeokMin)
Age: 20
Course: Out of Course
Reason for absence: Going back to hometown.
Duration of absence: 2 weeks

He is really going back with her as what they said yesterday.

I copied the same except for the name and handed Jin DaYeong's and mine's to the receptionist after taking out Lee SeokMin's copy.

"Hey!!" She said trying to get it back but failed. "Why did you do that for??"

"For protecting you, he can't go along with you."

"And you think that you can do that??" She turned to the receptionist. "Can I get it back??"

"Sorry, you can't get it back since your boyfriend has submitted it. You should've made up your mind earlier."

The receptionist asked me. "Where is the place that you guys are going to??"

"Gyeonggi-do and Ilsan. A week each." I said with a wink. "We're going for a honeymoon."
