It's already passed the midnight but homework given by Mr. Lee have to be done before tomorrow morning. Skyping with Wonwoo, discussing a few questions that I can't answer. Since Wonwoo is really good at it, well I have no option to immediately call him.

"Wait, there's someone calling me" I quickly picked up the call which is an unknown number.

Wonwoo nodded while continued doing his work. He looks very sleepy but he said he won't sleep until I complete my homework.

"Hello?"

"Taeha, is that you?" the person started to speak.

My heartbeat was suddenly beating fast. I feel like my eyes are starting to tear up. I did not expect this.

"Ming-mingyu?" I stuttered.

"Where have you been? Why are you suddenly disappeared? I've been looking for you everywhere. Why did you change your number too? Do you know how much I miss you"  his voice suddenly become slow at his last sentence?

Wonwoo started to realize that I was crying on the screen.

"Hey, why are you crying??!" he asked.

I accidently ended the call before Wonwoo can catch me talking to Mingyu that he hates.

"No, I'm not crying" I don't know why I said that while wiping my tears. I just make it obvious that I am crying. duh.

"Hold on, I'm coming over" he immediately pulled down his laptop screen. His face disappeared.

;-; (Wonwoo's)

I always told myself to make Tae happy no matter what happened since the day saw I her collapsed on the rooftop. If she cannot be strong to live a happy life, I will be strong for her. I will always be there for her. I will always volunteer myself to be the one to listen to her problems. I don't want to see her in that condition anymore.

I want to always be there for her at the end of the day. I can't wait to talk to her and listens to every word she says. I would be the person who no matter the mistakes and choices she made, and still wants to be with her. The person who would she call at 2 am and would drive over to hug her and talk to her. Wipes away her tears. Knows her and knows what she wants without even asking.

I look at my hand watch. Almost 2 a.m. I decided to drove my car to the McDonald's and wanted to buy her an ice cream. She loves ice cream so much. I hope it can cheer her up.

I bought four because I know one wouldn't be enough for her. She once told me that vanilla ice cream can make her the happiest girl in the world and I hope that's true.

I knocked her door while holding the ice creams. A few minutes but nothing. Then I just remembered that she's alone in the house because her parents went to stay at her grandmother's house for a day.

Why should I do? She's not answering my calls. ugh, I can't hold myself. I know this is stupid but I once imagine myself climb the tall tree in front of Tae's house. The cool thing is the branch is very near to her room window so it's easier for me to get into her room and that's what I will do now.

I put the ice creams aside and climb the tall tree carefully. I'm sure I will get to the hospital if I fall off of this tree. I need to be careful but everything for her.

I finally reached the top of the tree after struggled for a few minutes climbing this hella tall tree. I knocked her window that is covered by curtains.

I really hope she will open the window or else I will be stuck on this tree until someone notices me. I'm sure she's not sleeping yet because the light is still on.

After a few knocks, she called my phone.

"You said you want to come over, where are you?" she asked, she sounds scared.

"What's wrong?" I asked while struggling to balance myself on the branch.

"I heard knocks on my window. I'm scared" she sobbed.

"oh my god Tae, that's me. Open the window" I tapped the window.

She slowly pulled the curtain and scream after she saw my face before she quickly opens the window.

"Oh god, why are you there?" she pinched my arm after she helped me to get into her room through the window.

"ytou didn't open the door and ignore my calls. I had no option" I dusted my shirt.

"Really? I was in the toilet just now. Sorry" she looked down feeling guilty.

"Nah, It's okay. I brought you something"

;-; (tae's)
  
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my room. We went down with the stairs. He opens the entrance door of my house and took something on the floor.

"Ice cream at 2? Seriously?"

"Well, ice cream is cheaper than therapy" he winked.

"Eat this before it melts!" he exclaimed while handing me Oreo Mcflurry ice creams. Yah, why is he like this.

"Are you planning to give the other two to my parents?"

"Nope, all for you. Keep the rest in the freezer. In case if you are craving for it" he chuckled.

"So... tell me what happened? Why were you crying just now?"  his expression suddenly became serious. OVERPROTECTIVE GUY FRIEND.

"Hey don't ruin my mood. Yknow, just forget about it. I'm all alright now" I took my way to the living room and sit on the sofa to enjoy the ice cream.

"sorry but.." His voice volume decreased. He quickly followed me.

"It's too late. you should just sleep here today" I offered.

"Can I?" he said hesitantly before he took a seat beside me.

"Sure can but yea there's no empty room so.."

"Well, this huge sofa is quite comfortable too. I can sleep here" he patted the sofa to make sure the sofa is soft enough for him to sleep on. What a baby.

"dto you mind about that?" I asked hesitantly.

"It's okay. Go to sleep now. Don't worry about the questions that you can't answer. I'll help you tomorrow" he pushed slowly me to to the stairs.

"Thank you Wonu, good night. Love you" I said shyly before quickly go up to my room leaving him there.

Shit, what did I just said?
