"Alright, what's goinh on? YoonGi asks when the frozen HoSeok sits on his bed and the younger handles him a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows. "it's not like I'm complaining, I like you here, but what are you doing here at this hour and in that state? Did something happened at home?"

"Eh, do you remember my granny? You know, that one who we visited one day at summer and helped her with harvest?" Jung isn't looking at his friend, staring at the small cubicle floating in the brown liquid.

"I do. What's with her? Is she at the hospital once again feeling worse?" The boy asks as he remembers that the older lady is felling ill often and she almost all that times has to stay at the hospital for a bit. He furrows his brows when the other shakes his head.

"This time it didn't help." HoSeok whispers with breaking voice, not able to hold another wave of hot tears. 

He's not embarrassed of crying near his friend. It isn't the first time. He wants to hide his pain from his family so badly, that he can describe the relief he feels when he can show to his friends that he to doesn't have to be the always happy boy. Sometimes, the fear of being a disappointment to his parents, of going down with his studies, of losing the chance for a better life for him and his family is too much for him. And then there are his friends always supporting him. And he is so grateful. 

"I'm so sorry HoSeok." Min speaks quietly, leaving his usual cold and moody behavior and just hugs his friend, letting him gry on his shoulder, giving him time to get every emotions out and calm down. 

That evening Mrs. Min calls HoSeok's parents telling them that the boy will stay at theirs, sleeping over with YoonGi, and the boys spends most of the night talking about their problems or about everything and nothing.
