I hang me head down as I feel her gaze on me, I'm a coward because I don't speak... maybe that's why I'm the one that receives the pain... 

"Tae.... Was it... -" you open your mouth to say the name... but your phone rings making your phone lit up.


"Oh... one moment Tae..." you pull out your phone and your jaw drops.


"50 missed calls??? From who?" You mumble and look through the reoccurring phone number... but instead of a contact name or at least a phone number... the words private caller display on your screen.


"Are you okay?" I lift up my head when I sense her worrying.

"Someone called me...50 times... " you mumble as you call the number back.



"The number that you have dialed is no longer in service, thank you for your cooperation " the automatic system taunts you as you furrow your eyebrows.


"Someone seemed desperate if they wanted to reach me so badly" You mumble but turn off your phone and face me yet again.


"It's Okay Tae... if you don't know then its fine, but about your past.... " You hold my hands and brush your thumb against my skin, which sends shivers through my spine.


"Of course no child deserves to live through that... I wish you would've never gone through that pain...  and il always be here to listen" you smile sincerely.


'I wish I could tell you the secrets I've been told... but if I do... I'm a traitor...' I think to myself, I wrap my arms around you to hug you tightly.

"I wish I could see how you look today... but I don't have my contacts or glasses" I say shyly and you chuckle.


"We're in-front of your house already Tae" you stifle your laughter as we both walk inside, as I Take off my shoes I hear you run off. I look around but it's not like I could see well enough to even walk to the kitchen. I wait for you and I let out a cough as I rub my throat.

"I'm not getting sick am I?" I mumble to myself as I cough again.


"Boo" I react to your small prank and topple over, I almost cuss as I fall on my rear end. And you stifle your laughter as you place something that seems like... my glasses on the bridge of my nose.


"Sorry! Did I scare you that bad?" You crouch down and cup my face and I shake my head and I feel my face heat up.


"Tae... are you feeling okay?... You're very hot" you put your hand on my forehead and I sneeze loudly.


"Awe I think you are sick... I'm going to make you some Tea and porridge,  go up to your room to rest and il bring it to you" you smile and my embarrassment starts to grow.


"Ani! Ani! I-il stay with you and hel-" 


"I never asked if you wanted to rest, I said go and rest silly" you flick my forehead as you walk to the kitchen. I huff and trudge up to my room as I toss off my clothes once I reach my room. I change into some pajamas as I fall back into my bed and snuggle into my sheets.
