"When the rain stops, let's meet again."

Third Person

It's been a week since Yohan over heard Keira and Wooseok's conversation over skype and he was furious about it.

"Yohan? W-what are you doing here?"

"Who the hell accidentally kissed you, Keira?"

"What about it Yohan?"

"What do you mean, what about it? Am I not your bestfriend anymore that's why you're not telling me all these? Why? Is Wooseok your new bestfriend already? You used to tell me how your day went before anyone else.."

"Bestfriend? Do you hear yourself right now Yohan? Because it seems like you only treat me as your bestfriend whenever you want to. And if you don't want and you don't need me, you quite forget that I am your bestfriend!"

It's been a week but Keira and Yohan still haven't talked casually since Keira has been aloof and she's constantly avoiding Yohan. Whenever he tries to talk to her, it's either she'll leave or come with Wooseok.

Today is a regular weekday and they are at the cafeteria for their lunch break. Lunch breaks are per batch in order to avoid overcrowding and commotion considering that a lot of students are studying in the university.

Hyewon is eating along with Yohan while Keira and Wooseok is also eating just nearby. They have been so distant with each other to the point that they don't even go to school, eat or walk home together.

Yohan let out a heavy sigh.

"Yohan-ah, is everything okay?" Hyewon asked Yohan who now looks bothered.

He's been feeling a lot of pressure since then. He just nodded at Hyewon and smiled a bit as he look at Keira and Wooseok's direction occasionally. Somehow, he felt like he misses her so much.

Are we having a gap with our friendship already? Is the thing I want the least for us, already happening? Yohan asked himself.

Yes, I admit i'm jealous. But I don't think this is because I like Keira. Maybe i'm just jealous because she doesn't look like she still treats me as her bestfriend. We've been so distant.

The feeling is new to Yohan since he never felt like this before. He was never this scared and sad his entire life. He literally feels that he's already losing her and he can't avoid feeling broke with just the thought of it.

On the other hand, Wooseok's thoughts is also clouded especially when Keira left to wash her hands in the comfort room. He followed her but just waited outside.

'Til when will you be blind and unaware of your own feelings, Yohan? I just hope you won't be like Keira who'll just probably make a move when it's too late already. I know it. With the way you look at her, the wayyou protect her, the fear on your eyes knowing that you might lose her. I know that she has your heart but why are you such a fool not to know that?

In no time, Keira headed out of the wash room where Wooseok is waiting outside. He intentionally wrapped his arm around Keira's shoulder before glancing to where Yohan is seated. Their eyes met and Yohan clenched his fist.

I was annoyed when I saw Wooseok linked his arm around Keira's shoulders. What is he thinking?! I can't even do such thing to her and he'll do it just like that? For some reasons, I can't seem to stop clenching my fist. I want to punch Wooseok right now! Sure he is my friend but isn't he going too far? Good thing I still respect him as my friend that is why I won't do that.
