Ten

   Johnny went outside to make a quick phone call. If i were him id go home and stay away from me.  But he is too good for this cruel world. I wonder if he lives with his parents or alone. How did his parents educate or treat him?

   I wouldn't live if I were living on my own.

Over the years, I realized that I always had company. It could be luck, but my father came back and that isn't lucky at all. I've never felt this lonely before. The only person who is helping me is Johnny, but I just met him personally yesterday.

Johnny has been worried sick for me. I don't want him to spend his precious time on me.

He has a life and I don't want to ruin it!

"Hey, I'm back. What's wrong?" Johnny asks me while examining my face with his eyes. Should I tell him to leave?

Should I tell him to run away, from me?

"Johnny, I think that you should-" before I can say more Johnny interrupts me.

"Ten, I won't leave you" he states with honesty, and smiles sincerely. He slides a note in my hand, while moving apart from me. After leaving the note in my hand, he leaves to the restroom.

I slowly unfold my fist and open the note.

"I won't leave you. After what you told me I don't want to let you go! You are my friend, and I've never cared about someone as much as you.  ♡♡♡"

His letter warms my heart. These words won't ever erase from my heart. But what I'm worried about is, the promise he made. I don't think he'll be able to keep this promise.

He has to worry about himself and his life.

Oh,

We still haven't done the project!

Now we will get a bad grade because of me!

I really hate being in the way of Johnny's success. Johnny deserves the world.

"Ten, what are you thinking about?" Johnny's deep voice echoes through my mind as I look up at him again.

"I-I just want to th-thank you!" I exclaim with somewhat happiness. His smile teases my heart so much that even my eats turn pink.

"We should stay at a hotel." He said to me in a calm tone.

Why can we not stay at my house?

"I don't want anything to happen to you, especially because we might see your father again." Johnny responds my question almost instantly, can he read my mind?

"There is a hotel thirty minutes away from here, but I think we should go further away." Johnny said hurriedly but seeming unafraid. 

How are we going to go there? I don't have any money!

"Let's go to the bank, I'll make a transaction from my account and it should be enough to look for a place for us to stay" he says thoughtfully. I should be praising his level of intelligence.

"Ten, are you feeling sick? You seem a bit pale" Johnny asks me for the fourth time today.

"I-I'm fine!" I scream back, because he surprisingly places a cold hand against my warm forehead.

"Don't lie to me!" He yells back. 

"I'm not lying" I hiss at him, because the manager is glaring harshly at us.

"I think we should leave" I suggest to Johnny while he observes his foamy coffee.

"O-okay" he responds automatically, and we both exit the coffee shop in seconds.

"The bank is a quarter mile away. We can get there quick, so let's take our time" Johnny informs me in a relaxed sigh.

Today is going to be a long day.

I won't let that monster ruin my life. I'll have to find a way to talk to him. But for now, all I need is a friend, some company. Johnny is the person I need.

Taeyong

Taeil told me to wait inside my house for him. He better not scare me like last time he told me to wait for him.

"I'm back!" He yells in his highest pitch of voice.

"Okay, okay, what are you planning?" I ask him, curiosity killing me from inside.

"Ta-da! Look, isn't this interesting?!" Taeil shrieks in excitement.

He brought a collection of cards of his favorite kpop group called NCT.

This boy is rich. He has all the albums, numerous amounts of posters, and tons of pictures of NCT. But a member in specific has most of Taeil's attention. All of that member's pictures are taken by a cameraman he hired to follow them.

It's a bit weird, he isn't a fanboy when you casually talk to him. But when you talk about kpop, you better get ready to die. He is some thing like a crazy fanboy, but he is starting to let it go. Our group of friends were always trying to calm him down, and to also make him look at the reality. He was getting better.

In NCT he likes all the members.
But his favorite member is nicknamed Johnny-cal.

His favorite member also looks like Johnny!

"You bought all these?!" I ask him in shock.

"Yes, I made the best decision in my life bro. You can get one photocard if you'd like" he offers, I smile at him and his conditions, slowly but gracefully I grab a picture of all the group members together. This picture will definitely make history. Taeil glares at me for a couple of seconds, but he now smiles at me again.

Don't ever cross the line with Taeil if he orders you something.

"Do you live alone, or are you rooming?" He questions me casually.

"I'm rooming, but they aren't going to be back for tonight" I answer him with honesty.

He believes me, and looks around my apartment rooms as he stands up from his position at the carpet floor.

"Have you eaten yet?" I ask him with concern, has he gotten skinnier these days?

"No, I'd love to eat here with you though, that way I can ask you more questions" he says jokingly, but I really believe that he'll question me for hours.

I don't mind his company though.

"By the way, I came running to you" Taeil says in his fake girl voice.

He better be in a serious mood for this talk, because I'm not in the mood to joke around!

Where is Johnny when you need him?
