From that very moment we become the best of friends, Every comeback, CDs, concert they have, Every merchandise, Shirt from Spao, beauty regimen, bag and shoe endorsements. It will surely ended up in my doorstep or office. Its like I have  contract of supplies from MinSeok and every his or my birthday, we never forget to celebrate it together with s for quite a long time now, And I was often invited in s birthday too since I’m close to some of them, Its like I was part of their family. I also know their dating histories,the celebrities they are eyeing on, of course we surely gossip a lot. I’m lucky to have MinSeok and introduced me to good people like his EXO members, I’m thankful because somehow I’m getting out of my shell but he was still the introvert MinSeok that I knew, Well I’m gradually helping him out without him knowing

I was there whenever he needs me, Especially the time that he and the other EXO members are in great pain loosing Kris and later year of 2014 Luhan, who also become close to me. Everyone is devastated, EXO, their management, their fans and me, who knew them personally but life goes on thru the remaining members. MinSeok, who was best friends with LuHan was the most affected in his departure, He blame himself for not knowing what’s running in LuHan’s mind, But he told me that LuHan become quiet and not with his usual self, Until one day he bursted like a sleeping volcano for a long time ready to explode in any moment, then it happen, LuHan lost it. Until he decided to leave without any words to s, Just like that he threw everything they had, The ups and downs they conquer together. Good thing Chen was there with him wherever he goes, He accompanied MinSeok everywhere. Everyone thought that the storm was gone not until second quarter of the year of 2015 another member leave, This time it’s Tao. Everyone keeps on leaving, That’s what everybody thought, MinSeok somehow felt more depress, Its like He is not helping SuHo being the eldest to keep the team together, MinSeok is a sensitive individual, He rather keep everything to himself until he can’t and fed up with his on anxiety.

One time he called me over the phone, I was out in the streets roaming around to check if everything is alright, I panicked hearing him sobbed, This is not the usual MinSeok I knew. So I hurriedly asked where is he and he instructed me that he was at my apartment, He has my spare key. I rode my bicycle and pedaled to my apartment as fast as I can

As I arrived, I threw myself out of my bicycle leaving it in the entrance, not minding if a thief was around, The landlady was surprised to see me sweating and exhausted but I still managed to greet her and continue to made a long run, My apartment have an elevator but I choose to run at the stairs to went to MinSeok as early as I can. My apartment is small but still presentable.

I arrived at my floor went to door 402, My beloved apartment and also MinSeok's safe haven when he is lost

I get my keys from the chain of my uniform belt, As my hands are trembling and having a hard time to took it off making a rustling sound whenever it bumps to the handcuffs

Then the door opens revealing MinSeok, His face is drenched with tears, His eyes are lonely that made me drown in despair

I entered my apartment closed the door by kicking it with my feet

“MinSeok-ah.”  I called him making him believe that I’m really in his front right now

He can’t help himself anymore as he was sure that he is not hallucinating, He slowly made his way to me, As he placed his arms around my tiny waist and his chin on the crook of my neck, While i guided my arms to his shoulder and my left on the back of his head patting it gently

My neck got wet because of his tears, I can feel his heavy breathing as he stops himself to make louder sobs but he fails to

“Let it out, MinSeok.” I coaxed my best friend’s aching heart

I didn’t noticed too that I was tearing, empathizing with the pain, loneliness and disappointment he felt

That time I know he was too fragile, That I only can do is to be with him, I made him looked at me, As we both let go of our warm embrace, I took his cheeks with both of my palms and made him looked at me in the eyes, I wiped his tears with my thumbs, And I felt he was burning

“Okay, You need to rest. Araso?” I told him carefully

I took his hand and guided him to my bedroom, I made him sat down on the edge of the bed, As I guided my hands at the hem of his shirt and help him took it off, He was sweating, I’m sure his fever is high, i went to my closet and get his clothes that he brought here before when he and JongDae have an overnight here in my apartment. I dressed him and tucked him carefully on the bed as I put the blanket over him

“I get some towel and Ice pack. okay?” I told him as I caress his right cheek giving him assurance

Not long after, I went back change in new set of clothes, I also called my office that I can’t return to my shift since there is an emergency, I just file an emergency leave when I got back.
