"This is not a joke anymore Niel." Pomii shared, "CAP is not answering my calls since yesterday."

Niel tapped her back, "He's fine."

They have already arrived at the music room. She have been trying to focus on her practice but the fact that her bestfriend have never showed himself or texted or called since yesterday wouldn't get off her head.

"I hope so." Pomii said, "But this is not like CAP. He never hides anything from me. I hope he do."

"There are some things that you need to hide from others." Niel said seriously making Pomii look at him. She never thought Niel, the childish and playful Niel, could say something like that, "Like me. If I know Ljoe hyung and Chunji hyung are angry, I will hide my PSP because I know they will get it from me."

Pomii smiled, "oh..."

She thought Niel could be serious but that's exactly not what she should expect.

"Niel...." Pomii started.

"Hmmm?" Niel asked smiling, "Ne?"

"Have you ever tried being serious?" Pomii asked.

"Yah..." Niel replied proudly, "I'm serious when I sing sad songs. I should not smile."

Pomii laughed, "No. What I mean is that, are you really this playful always?" Niel nodded his head, "I love to play along with Ricky, his playmate and my playmate."

Pomii puffed her cheeks, "you never have some serious side then?"

"Hmmm...." Niel thought looking up, "No....."

Pomii nodded her head. Niel is lucky. He doesn't have any problem, he doesn't worry about anything. What she doesn't know, Niel is really a sad guy. He always envy Ricky, Chunji and Ljoe for having such happy and complete family. Niel lacks love and affection at home and in school. He just won't show how much he longs for affection. He just don't know how long he could take it.

"Let's start again?" Pomii asked.

"Let's play?" Niel asked cutely.

Pomii laughed, "you always want to play. And I will always get tired whenever we're together."

Niel looked at her sadly, "you're tired of being my friend?"

Pomii looked at him. Maybe he's just acting. Niel always loves to play pranks. Suddenly, the sadness she saw on Niel's eyes.

"Niel....that's not what I mean." Pomii explained holding Niel's hand.

Niel forced a smile and looked down, "Ne....I understand. Everyone gets tired of me."

"Niel....I swear I never meant that." Pomii told him, "I mean....."

Niel laughed forcefully, "I'm good in acting, right? hahaha...."

Though Niel forced a laugh, he somehow got sad that Pomii is tired of him. There's something about her that made it extra hurtful.

"I'm really sorry Niel." Pomii apologized sincerely again.

Niel smiled assuringly, "it's fine."

Pomii hugged him. Though shocked by her sudden move at first, he hugged her back smiling. He couldn't even help but feel comfort and love. ^_^
