Shi Woo's POV

*ring ring*

I groaned and rolled over my bed to answer the call. Who the hell is calling at 4 in the morning?! Rolling my eyes in annoyance, I pressed the green answer button without bothering to look at the Caller ID.

"Hello, what do you want."

I heard sobbing at the other end and my eyes flew open. A far-too-familiar-for-comfort voice was heard at the other end.

"Shi-Shi Woo ah... Please... Come..."

It was Chi Ang. I scrambled out of my duvet and my eyebrows creases with worry. It wasn't normal for the usually cocky Wang Chi Ang to be crying this badly.

"What happened, Chi Ang ah?" I asked in a soft voice.

"Mom.... She... She's going..."

Without a second thought, I stumbled out of bed and grabbed my coat.

"Send me the address."

When I arrived at the private ward that Chi Ang had sent me to, the first thing I noticed was the boy kneeling by his mother's bedside, face a mask of emotions, despite the dried tear tracks on his face. He did not even notice as I walked up to him.

He's was doing it again. Hiding his emotions. No matter how hurt he was, he would always hide his emotions, not letting people see his vulnerable side. I placed a hand on his shoulder and he jumped a little, before turning his head to face me. I smiled sadly at him.

"Shi Woo ah..." he buried his face in my chest, whimpering. I felt my shirt wet with his tears, a sign that he had begun crying again.

"She's leaving, Shi Woo ah.... She's leaving me..."

I ran my hand through his hair in an effort to calm him down. I could feel my own tears well up at the sight of my best friend in this state.

"Where's... Where's your dad?"

"Overseas. Again." he replied bitterly. "What has changed since all those years ago? Even now when I need him the most, he's not around... I have no one..."

I removed his face from my chest and cupped it.

"Stop saying crap, Wang Chi Ang. No matter what happens, you'll always have me. Don't ever forget that, you idiot." I ran my thumb across the fresh tears that had started to cascade down his beautiful porcelain face.

"I'll always be there for you."

Chi Ang looked at me with sad but slightly hopeful eyes.

"No matter what happens?"

"Yes."

Chi Ang bit his lip for a moment. I could feel my heart rate increasing as I stared at my best friend, or should I say, my crush, sitting on the floor, biting his bottom lip, with dried tears vandalised on his beautiful face.

How does he look so adorable in this situation? The way he plays with his fingers... The way he bites his--

Stop.

It's not the right time now, Yoon Shi Woo you idiot.

Chi Ang is in pain and you should be ashamed of yourself for fantasising about him at a time like this. How can you--

"Would you still be there for me even if I did something wrong?" My thoughts were cut off by his deep, angelic voice. My heart started to race in my chest. What had Chi Ang done??
