"Jiyong!" I quickly said, hearing that my worried voice immediately came in place as soon as I saw him at the steps of your home. He looked up, crying with teary streams down his cheeks. "DARA !" he yelled out, as he ran up to me, arms wrapped around me making me stumble back a bit, his body colliding into my own, just crying into my shoulders. 

I gave a sympathetic sigh as my arms slowly held the back of his head and his own shaking head as I allowed my good friend, Jiyong, to cry, adding a slight pat to comfort him. 

***********

"Then she just looked at me...and...and..." he covered his face and cried once more. I watched his once happy being becoming so vulnerable with great pity. I felt so bad for him. I knew that his whole relationship was going to be tough, since I knew that she was cheating on him. I tried to tell him, but he was too stubborn and never believed it. And what's worse was he didn't choose to dump her, but she did it herself. "I ju-just don't understand why she wou-would break up with me? I mean I could have over looked her...ya know..." Jiyong continued, shaking his head and simultaneously wiping his runny nose. 

Just like any other love problem he has, the only person he knows that would listen to them. And ladies and gentlemen that was me. 

I slowly reached out to pat his shoulder, "It's okay, it's all going to be okay." I softly spoke which helped him calm down just a bit. "Thank you for always being here for me, Dara his shaky voice reached out to me, causing me to instantly wrap my arms around him, giving him a supportive hug. And he continued to tear up and silently cried in the nape of my shoulder. 

"Here? Why don't I get you something warm to drink?" I offered him, making my whisper as warm as possible. He sniffled a bit followed by a nod. I couldn't handle the fact that he was so depressed. I was just so used to his smiles, well if it wasn't just for the relationships he's spoke so highly for. But when those smiles were meant for me, I couldn't help but smile at those meaningful smile with a little thud in my chest.

I let go of him and patted his shoulder again before going into the kitchen and started preparing the coffee maker, I couldn't help but recall when I first met this man.
