*Friends*

"Are you okay Nine?" I finally decided to ask him, he didn't answer so I tried to comfort him and brought him a blanket.

"I'm OK, just a bit upset" he answered after a while. I sat beside him. "Uhm... We don't know each other very well but uhm... You can tell me if something is wrong. I...I can be your friend...I know I rarely talk but you are the first person who wanted to be my friend..." I told him not knowing what to say I tried to cheer him up, even if it was just for a bit, I just hate seeing him sad.

"Really?" He asked, he seemed to have calmed down a bit "Thank you that you trust me" He told me

Nine POV

' I can't believe Joss is here again, and now he is threatening my family? '

Joong said that I'm the only person that wants to be his friend, I feel bad for him now. And he is still here, that means he trusts me...

I looked him in the eyes, I could see that he was worried and at a loss of words. I decided to hug him, I thought it would make us both worry less about everything what happended and will make us calm down a bit. I can feel my heart racing ' Why is that happening? ' I thought to myself and pulled away. I looked at him, his handsome face, his long lashes and dark eyes...

'Why am I thinking of it again? I cant be crushing on him, it would be the end of a friendship that hasn't even started ' I thought to myself "Uh... Want to be friends?" I asked expecting rejection after what happened, he might think I went crazy or something "I can tell you everything, I promise. But please don't think I'm crazy or something" I told him before he could answer me

"Hey calm down okay?" He told me in a soft voice "I would love to be your friend, just don't worry..." He had a little smile on his face "And you don't need to tell me anything if you don't want to..."

"You can really calm people down, did you know it?" I told him smiling and feeling a lot better than before "And how come you talk now? I thought you didn't like it..."

"Not really, but I choose to trust you and we are friends now, so I might as well talk to you" he said with the same smile as before "Thank you that you trust me" I told him and proposed to go finish our assignment

We went to do our assignment and sat there for a few more hours talking a little bit, I could still feel a bit of tension between us. I looked at Joong, he still seems very mysterious to me... I can't stop thinking about how handsome he is...

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked me not turning away from his laptop and still typing "Oh... Uhm, it's nothing" I said, I think he could clearly hear the nervousness in my voice.

I look at the clock on his wall

*1 AM*

"Oh no Joong, it's 1 AM already, I should go" I told him and quickly packed my stuff. "Hey, where are you going? It's late, stay here" He said reassuring me "I think nobody would mind, we are friends after all"

"Uh, I don't have anything with me, I can just call my driver" I was trying to convince him "Stay" he told me, and I gave up on trying because deep inside I knew I already began crushing on him and wanted to stay

I was laying on the bed, while he was on the couch. He actually looked pretty comfortable, so I didn't think a lot of it... I couldn't sleep thinking about my family's situation right now.

"Are you sleeping?" I asked Joong "No, can't sleep" he told me, that made me kind of calm "Want to know the story?" I asked him "Only if you want to tell me" he told me. I sat up on the bed and leaned back towards the headboard...

*4 Years Ago*

Joss was my best friend since I was 6 years old in the first grade. He was the same age as me and we basically grew up together...

I was walking through a hallway in highschool and he came running towards me and pushed me into an empty classroom.

He pushed me against a wall and told me that a girl in our grade had a crush on me. I was happy because in highschool nobody liked me. He asked me if I liked her back and I didn't know what to answer.

In highschool I already knew I was gay but haven't told anybody, so I decided to tell him because he is my best friend and I was sure he will understand me...

As soon as I told him that, he kissed me. I didn't want to kiss him but he forced me, he was very tall and big so there was no way for me to push him away. He kissed me for five minutes straight and touched me where he shouldn't, he kneeled down while holding me back to the wall and you can guess what he did...

As soon as he pulled away and stood up he said that he has had a crush on me for the past couple years. I started crying because it was just awful, I felt even worse after I realized what had just happened.

I told him I didn't love him and that after what he did we couldn't be friends anymore. He tried to apologize a couple of times after that but I never forgave him.

That was when he promised that no matter what, I will be his one day. Someday he will force me to marry him and I will forever be his...
