Johnny

I knocked on the door three times. Two strangers opened the door in a slow manner. Supposedly this is Taeyong's apartment?

"Is Taeyong here?" I asked the two.

"Yeah, we will tell him that you are here." The one with with brown curly hair said.

I was about to thank him, when he suddenly yelled from the door.

"Someone is here!" he said and kept staring at me.

"Who is it?" I heard Taeyong's voice. So he IS here.

"It's me" I said back.

Silence fell upon the whole room.

Silence.....

        And now, I'm in Taeyong's living room waiting for his visitors to leave. After they leave. I could talk to him peacefully.

"All done!" Taeyong exhales loudly, he drops down onto the left side of the sofa I'm sitting on.

"Who were they?" I ask curiously, "Oh, they are my new neighbors. They don't like drama, but like watching dramas on television. Ha! Isn't it ironic?" He said in a playful tone.

Now, time for my plan!

"Taeyong, I am very gateful to have someone like you in my life." I said in a very serious tone.

He smiles widely. But his eyes shine sadly. Did something bad happen to him? Am I not a good presence?

"I want to give you something special because of your amazing human being." I said with the most exciting smile I can create, as I grab the small paper bag which carries the gift I have.

          💚.....................................💚

Taeyong

He pulls out a delicate and smooth piece of cloth.

It has writing on it too.

But it's not alike anything you see in stores.

"I bought it thinking about.......our friendship" Johnny smiles with more sincerity than before.

      I'll stare at the cloth for I while longer.
Oh, on it are written letters. I can read my name but there is another one next to it.

       I can't really read the other one though.

"Keep it, as an antique gift from your best friend." Johnny tells me, with a sparking blush on his cheeks.

"I'll protect it with my life." I tell him in a serious tone too. We both laugh a bit because of the awkward silence.

I should start making dinner. It's already nearing the afternoon.

"Is it okay if I leave my things here?" Johnny asks me, while pointing to an empty corner in my living room.

"Of course, my house is your house Johnny." I say with my voice sounding accidentally squeaky. I delicately place the bowls and utensils over the kitchen counter so we could cook our meal.

"Johnny we should cook food today." I tell him in a rush. He comes inside the room quickly and starts washing his hands.

"On your orders captain!" Johnny said firmly.

He is so serious about this. This is too funny. His eyes are shining with childness but his facial expression is too serious. I'm...I'm going to lose this staring contest right now. I can't help it, I'm going to laugh but just for a bit.

Oh my, owww! My stomach burns. I have no air. Damn it Johnny! You are going to kill me. You are too funny for me.

But you are all i need.
