"Hwang Hyunjin... What have you done again" a red-haired boy sighed when he saw his friend locking himself in his room. Obviously, he knew what happened. Hyunjin broke up with the so-called love of his life. For the past two months, the black-haired male was talking only about this Changbin, who – from what he heard – was absolutely flawless, sweet and loving guy. And he broke up with Hyunjin that morning. By a text. Although the boy has never met Changbin, he was sure he wouldn't ever get to like him.
  "Hey, Hyunjinnie... Open the doors, okay?" he whispered and knocked lightly. He heard sobs and unstable steps, but the black haired boy let him in. His eyes were red and the whole face looked puffy, also tears were rolling down his cheeks.
  "What did I do wrong this time, Seungminnie?" the boys asked weakly, his voice cracking.
"Shh... Calm down, it's okay..." Seungmin said softly, leading the older boy to his bed. "You didn't do anything wrong, understood?" his voice was quiet.
  "Don't cry, Hyunjinnie... I hate seeing you like that" Seungmin whispered, holding Hyunjin's trembling hands.
  "How can I not cry? Everyone I ever dated had left me! Minho, Jinyoung, Chan, Jeongin... And now Changbin... Is something wrong with me? How it comes...?!" Hyunjin's voice was cracking and he got hiccup from crying too much.
  "Listen, Jinnie... I know it's hard for you, but it's not your fault" Seungmin hugged his friend tightly. "You just met wrong men... One day you will meet someone good, I promise you. I don't know who would be next, but, please, this time don't just date anyone, okay? I can't see you broken" as the cherry haired boy said it, he felt tears forming in his eyes. Two years before, Hyunjin had his first date, and since that moment he had five boyfriends. And every time they would break up with him, Seungmin was the one to comfort the boy, although his heart was also aching. And it was only worse when he was seeing Hyunjin crying after those break-ups. He didn't understand why such a perfect person was so unlucky, why he couldn't find anyone who would actually love him. Just like Seungmin did.
  "Just forget about him," Seungmin said, suddenly feeling weak. "I will be always there, don't worry... I will always lend you my shoulder when you will need it, you know?"
"I- I- Thank you, Seungmin" the older boy's breath seemed more stable then. Seungmin whipped tears off his face. "It's okay. You're going to be okay, you'll see"
  "You are the best friend I could ever have" Hyunjin closed his eyes and laid on Seungmin's chest, hugging him as if he was a giant teddy bear.

After a few hours of comforting cuddles and crying his eyes out, Hyunjin finally fell asleep. It was half-past ten, but honestly, Seungmin would stay way longer if it was needed.
  When he came out the Hwang's house, he looked up just to see in Hyunjin's room the light, which no one turned off. One more time, he felt tears rolling down his cheeks and a huge heartache, which made even breathing hard.
  "You don't even know how much I love you, Hwang Hyunjin," he said weakly,  still staring at the window. "I'm probably the last person you would like to date... But darn, I just hope you'll be happy" a small smile crawled onto his face, but it wasn't a happy smile.
  He finally looked down and made his way to his house. And Hyunjin, who was woken up by a sudden sadness, could only listen to quiet sobs, not realizing he caused them.
