I stood in my room as I pulled on one of my baggy sweatshirts, liking the way it felt on me. Couldn't help myself as I saw the dinosaur on it and snickered quietly.

As I stared at myself I began to set myself straight. Standing up tall and I extend my neck as far as I could while looking normal. Made sure not to stand on my toes because I didn't want to alter my true height.

Except as I stood here in the mirror, I saw I was still 5'6. My uncanny height that made me dwarfed against most people. When I see females taller than me a slight shame fills me, just a little bit. Congrats to them and their height, but I was not blessed with long legs.

I sigh, turning as to see the picture I made for Travis on the desk in my room. With the yellow dried flowers and I wrote the names of them in the calligraphy. Under I drew the flowers to the best of my ability and made this pretty picture in my opinion.

He's so kind to me and I always honestly the kindest one so far. Louis has not been as kind as he could be. His jealousy is like a slap in the face when it involves Travis.

I've known for forever that he is in love with him. Though the more I'm around Travis I can see why. Even when I first met him he was charming and kind... Despite the fact that I made things harder since I didn't know my way around the airport.

I'm happy I didn't because I wouldn't have met Travis in the way I did. I feel like it was meant to happen this way.

"Min-Jun!" I hear Louis open my door quickly, the door hitting the wall. "We need to talk."

"Ye-yes?" I ask, sitting at my desk as I examine the picture some more. I want it to be perfect when I give it to him.

"You like Travis, huh?" He asked me suddenly, and I frown his question. Only for him to sneer at me as if he wanted me dead. "Who do you think you're fooling Mimi?"

He rushed to the picture I made and pointed at it. My eyes diverting away from his as I begin to pick up the picture. I had a feeling he was going to do something rash.

"You know how I feel about Travis!"

"Ye-yes, I - I know." I stutter, hearing the elevation in his voice and it began to stress me out.

"I don't - don't think you do!" He fake stuttered, and I instantly became hurt that he'd mock me for my issue. "Find your own best friend, don't come and steal mine. Especially when I'm trying to win him over."

I inhaled sharply, having to control my words. Travis didn't belong to him, whatsoever. Besides, I like Travis and he's the kindest person I've ever met. Why would I listen to Louis?

"Travis ca-can have m-more than one best fr-friend." I state, only for Louis to look displeased by my statement.

"No, I must win Travis over. I've liked him for so long..." He drifted, coming towards me and yanking back my chair until I almost fell. Shocking me at this point, I jumped out my chair in surprise. "I refuse for you to steal him away."

I became scared, shaking my head quickly. I knew if I didn't just play with his words and go along that I'd be in trouble.

"I - I won't. He - he is my friend. I - I really like hi-him." That was not what I wanted to come out my mouth. Louis looked angrier that I said that even though it was true.

"You really like hi-him?" He mocked and I felt my face turn red with anger. How could he mock me like that as if my stutter is a joke? I'm insecure about that and my own brother is bullying me with it.
